A woo hoo
Hey hey here comes no one
Another friend to have a go on
And she asks me do I miss her when she's gone?
And I reply "As much as I miss anyone"

Oh
A woo hoo
And I'll be your gay friend
'Cause your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us

So jump into my bed
Pretend the world is dead
Always in my head
Is a face between us

Hey Lord forgive us if we're wrong
And make sure that he never hears this song
And she says that I'm the opposite
Of a Hallmark card
She asks me how I'm feeling well
I don't want to think that hard

Oh
A woo hoo
And I'll be your gay friend
'Cause your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us

Jump into my bed
Pretend the world is dead
And always in my head
Is a face between us

It's the late show now
How does the late show end?
Well if god is in the details thank god that
You're my friend
I have a friend again
You are my friend again
My gay friend

Oh
A woo hoo
Jump into my bed
Pretend the world is dead
And always in my head
Is a face between us

And I'll be your gay friend
'Cause your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us
Oh
A woo hoo

    This song is so upbeated and funny. I guess it talks about being the lover of someone who is already commited in marriage. Robbie just cares about the sex in this relationship, while the woman asks him if he actually misses her when she's gone.

    Still, I sense some feelings in Robbie here, when he says "there's a space between us". Maybe he would like to narrow that space and is actually tired of being her "gay" friend and would like to see how it would be like...

    Anyway, I guess those who have ever been in love with someone who you definitely shouldn't...can relate in some way. How far can you go without feeling wrong? How long might it last? Are there any chance that your commitment ever ends?. I do think of those situations myself, not being comfortable with it anymore... :(

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.

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.
