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,
Go
Conflict, terror, hear the noise
You're on the edge of a nerve-racking force
But oh my god, you're so fine
Never siege, never riot, must defy
Well look at me, what do you see?
Another trophy, a living fucking dead beat
Close your eyes take a step with me
You're soft, got no time to waste
Exhibiting abnormality
Careful what you call reality
But you will always forget
One thing I'd like you to know
I don't give a flying fuck motherfucker
I don't give a flying fuck motherfucker
I don't give a flying
I don't give a flying
I don't give a flying fuck
I'll never wait for any interference
When the other people talk all over my shit
But do I pray thee, yes I do
So fuck hypocrisy and fuck you too
Incoming
Say one more word, I double dare you (bring it on)
It's my world, you're in it, it'll take you down in a minute
You can alter your look, diversify your age
But the truth seems like a bitch slap in your face
Well look at me, what do you see?
Another trophy, a living fucking dead beat
Close your eyes, take a step with me
You're soft, got no time to waste
Exhibiting abnormality
Careful what you call reality
But you will always forget
One thing I'd like you to know
I don't give a flying fuck motherfucker
I don't give a flying fuck motherfucker
I don't give a flying
I don't give a flying
I don't give a flying fuck

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
"Oh my god, here's a fight " sounds like "oh my god, you're so fine" :P
its a great song but the lyrics are off its GO!
Conflict, terror, hear the noise. You're on the edge of a nerve-racking force. But, oh, my god, here's the fight. Never siege, never riot, must defy.
Well look at me, what do you see? Another trophy, a living fucking dead beat Close your eyes take a step with me You're gone but it's not too late
Insanity, Abnormality Careful what you call reality. But you will always forget One thing I'd like you to know
I don't give a flying fuck motherfucker! I don't give a flying fuck motherfucker! I don't give a flying! I don't give a flying, I don't give a flying FUCK!
I'll never wait for any interference When the other people talk all over my shit Can you hold my crazy as I go? So fuck hypocrisy and fuck you too!
INCOMING!
[Chorus 1:] Say one, more word, I double dare you (bring it on) It's my world, you're in it, it'll take you down in a minute You can alter your look, diversify your hate. But the truth seems like a bitch slap in your face!
