In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
"Hey there, do you like excitement?" (Yeah)
"Do you like suspense?" (Uh huh)
"Do you like Nel Carter?" (No)
"Good 'cause you won't find her here, this is the house of horrors
And for you it's absolutely free, step right in" (thanks)
"Say no more stupid ass, your face says enough"
Woboogawoo wah, welcome to the House of Horrors
Were you born in a barn, shut the fuckin door
You see, damn, 'cause I'm about to scare you
Blubablubabluba, okay, now I dare you
Close your eyes, open up your mouth, and count to ten
Don't want to, huh, 'cause you know my nuts are going in
I'm twisted, I'll cut your finger off, and stick in your butt
Awa and glue it shut
This is when I get crazy, lemme show you something
Brrr, you know what that means, it don't mean nothin, haha
But it scared you 'cause people don't be doing that shit
But me brr, bitch brr, I'm all about it (brrr)
Guess what I'm a serial killer, it's a bad habit
I killed Tony, Lucky Charms, the silly rabbit, uh
Cut the lights, see that shit, I'm glowing
Alright, I'm done, turn 'em back, wait, where you going?
Welcome to the house of horrors
Comes from within me
Comes from within me, horrors, eh
"Honey, I'm not having a good time"
"I know, come on, this must be the way out"
Hey, what the fuck, come here guys, grab a chair
Don't mind me drinkin' my beer in my underwear
Come on, let's play some cardback, I just gotta story
"Hey keep it down in there Shaggs, what the hell?" Sorry
Look at that shit, "what?", You almost got me grounded
I'm a have to take your forehead and pound it
I'll bend you over and tie you up to a pole
And stretch your nuts back and fling 'em up your butthole
I'm a phantom, listen to me, ah
That didn't do it? How about this? Ah
I'm so scary, they call me Joey Terrifying
Did you know that? "Yeah", no you didn't I was lying
"I represent Ecorse
I'm yelling Ink Town
I'm coming out of Southwest
Wicked clowns"
Bathroom? Yeah, it's right there down the hall
Don't flush it though, I'll make dinner for you all
(Mumbles) I'm possessed too
Wait a minute, eh, don't leave me yet, hey
Welcome to the House of Horrors
"Honey?"
"What?"
"I'm scared"
"I know, sweety, come on"
Jump Steady, Nate the Mack, lemme tell you something
With Billy Bill and Rude Boy, what about 'em, nothing
They're my boys, I just had to give 'em props
And together we form the cyclops
Hahahahaha look at you, haha, you're a bitch
Should I let your ass go? Hahahaha, no
I'll let your bitch out, but you get the bone
Run along sugar tits, he ain't coming home
"Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you, bitch"
"Do you like suspense?" (Uh huh)
"Do you like Nel Carter?" (No)
"Good 'cause you won't find her here, this is the house of horrors
And for you it's absolutely free, step right in" (thanks)

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
the first verse is really funny
