This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me
This is the craziest party
That there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light
'Cause I don't want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun
Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking from
The smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking
'Bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window sucka
Let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son
The radio is blasting,
Someone's beating on the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is
But I don't wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun,
Mama told me, Mama told me, Mama told me
Told me, told me,
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
Or sugar with your tea
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me
This is the craziest party
That there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light
'Cause I don't want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun
Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking from
The smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking
'Bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window sucka
Let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son
The radio is blasting,
Someone's beating on the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is
But I don't wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun,
Mama told me, Mama told me, Mama told me
Told me, told me,
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
To me, this song is about a sexual encounter a guy has at a party with a woman, while cheating on his girlfriend, feeling disgusted about it while it's happening, but still feeling too horny to turn down the affair.
The "mama" in this situation isn't someone's mother, but a dominant woman with the nickname "mama".
The first verse is about the guy's experience when he first enters the party. It's essentially his dialogue when he's talking to mama, asking her about all of the questions people were asking him. We then discover their location, "Don't turn on the light 'cause I don't want to see", which hints at the two of them being in a dark room, getting ready to have sex, but he'd rather not see it for some reason.
The chorus switches to the man's perspective, saying "mama told me not to come", referring to mama giving orders in bed, telling the man she's sleeping with (our main character) to not cum inside her. "that ain't no way to have fun" refers to what would happen if the guy did "come". She would get pregnant and have to raise a kid. Her days of going to parties and having sex with would be over. Not very fun, indeed.
Second verse is the guy's dialogue. This is after they had sex, and mama lit up a cigarette. He's complaining about her perfume which now smells stale after mixing with all of her sweat. Again, this reinforces the part in the first verse how he doesn't actually find her attractive.
The third verse talks about the cops arriving due to noise complaints. It also references the guy's girlfriend, who is now passed out on the floor. I don't think the girlfriend and "mama" are the same person, and I think this is why he didn't "want to see" in the first verse, and why he was so disgusted in the second verse... because in a way he was disgusted with himself, because he was cheating on his girlfriend with her... since he was just too horny and mama was the only one there to fulfill his desires, with his girlfriend too busy drinking and getting wasted.
"I seen so many things I ain't never seen before Don't know what it is I don't wanna see no more" This references that it was kind of a scary experience. This is probably because mama was the dominant one, and he wasn't expecting it. He also probably feels like it was a mistake, hence the "I don't wanna see no more" line.
