For all the love we've made
Just one thing stays the same
The lamp gets dusty
The pipes get rusty
But I don't wanna wash my hands clean

Well you say you love me too
Then why won't you go through
With the nightly kisses
With the hits and the misses
Well if you can make it on your own...


Then go if you want to go
But stay if you want to know the way
Through the mess we've made
Or lie in the bed you know or go

I heard your moving van
But I did not take a stand
You can't leave with 'em
You can't leave without 'em
I never thought I'd want to let you...

Go if you want to go
Or stay if you want to know the way
Through the mess we've made
Or lie in the bed you know or go

    umm MAYBE if he had fixed the pipes every once in a while, and hey, how about dusting so the lamp isn't MISCOLORED? Or maybe you could mow the lawn before the 20TH FREAKING TIME I ASKED YOU. Or how about a little bit of personal hygiene? Maybe washing your hands clean so it's not full of FILTH AND GERMS WHEN YOU TOUCH ME would be nice. GOD. SERIOUSLY.

No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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/

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.
