Queensbury #8
Hell Hotel punk rock estate
Way way back in the day
100 years it seems that way
Just across from Wayne's Junk Store
3 floros up then straight ahead
If someone thought to lock the door
Use the fire escape instead

Someone's always up to something
One thing's always understood
If nothing happened in a minute
Wait another, something would
Avoid the landlord, spend the rent
Raising hell with reckless style
And sure our time was poorly spent
But toxic toast still makes me smile

Looking back now-not sure how
We made it through, not all of us but most
Still haunts me-like it wants me
I remember, I remember, I rmember-toxic toast

This stuff's 130 proof
Glue threw the TV off the roof
The whole damn place just wasn't stable
Andrew trashed the coffee table
Rico's here, the party's reeling
Colam's been spray painting the ceiling
Can't make a call and man it's gold
Alcohol and stranglehold

Toxic toast, Jake coined the phrase
haven't thought about it for a while
Mindless endless nights and days
But toxic toast still makes me smile

Looking back-not sure how
We made it through, not all of us but most
Still haunts me-like it wants me
I remember, I remember, I remember-toxic toast

    this song most likely deals with dicky's college days... his constant parties and whatnot, and somehow toxic toast fits into all this

    This is the best mmb song, which is saying alot. But no one has seemed to get the meaning down. its about alcoholism. 130 proof is a hard liquor. Toxic Toast is just a name for alcohol that "jake coined". the author is still battling with his addition: "still haunts me like it wants me". the song covers a time in his life where his addiction was at its peak and him and some friends would party and drink in an apartment in what is probably boston. he admits "we made it through not all of us but most" suggesting that he lost some friends during this reckless period of his life. many other mmb songs deal with alcoholism so its not surprising this one does too

Magical
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
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.
