This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This is the place where all
The junkies go
Where time gets fast
But everything gets slow
Can I get some Vaseline?
Step into a modern scene
Take a chance on that
Which seems to be the making of a dream
I don't want to do it
Like my daddy did
I don't want to give it
To my baby's kid
"This is my calling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
This is the place where all, the devils plead
Their case to take from you what they need
Can I isolate your gene? Can I kiss your dopamine?
In a way I wonder if she's living in a magazine
I don't want to say it
If it isn't so
I don't want to weigh it
But I've got to know
"This is my calling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
I saw you out there yesterday, what did you want to say?
A perfect piece of DNA caught in a flashing ray
I caught you out there in the fray, what did you want to say?
A master piece of DNA caught in a flashing ray
Can I smell your gasoline?
Can I pet your wolverine?
On the day my best friend died
I could not get my copper clean
I don't want to take it up
With little Joe
I don't want to fake it
But I've gotta know
"This is my calling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
I am a misfit
I'm born with all of it
The fucking ultimate
Of love inside the atom split
I'm in a flash ray, a mash of DNA
Another poppin' Jay, who thinks
He's got something to say
The junkies go
Where time gets fast
But everything gets slow
Can I get some Vaseline?
Step into a modern scene
Take a chance on that
Which seems to be the making of a dream
I don't want to do it
Like my daddy did
I don't want to give it
To my baby's kid
"This is my calling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
This is the place where all, the devils plead
Their case to take from you what they need
Can I isolate your gene? Can I kiss your dopamine?
In a way I wonder if she's living in a magazine
I don't want to say it
If it isn't so
I don't want to weigh it
But I've got to know
"This is my calling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
I saw you out there yesterday, what did you want to say?
A perfect piece of DNA caught in a flashing ray
I caught you out there in the fray, what did you want to say?
A master piece of DNA caught in a flashing ray
Can I smell your gasoline?
Can I pet your wolverine?
On the day my best friend died
I could not get my copper clean
I don't want to take it up
With little Joe
I don't want to fake it
But I've gotta know
"This is my calling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said, my darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
I am a misfit
I'm born with all of it
The fucking ultimate
Of love inside the atom split
I'm in a flash ray, a mash of DNA
Another poppin' Jay, who thinks

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this sucks itunes wont let me buy it b/c i don't live in the UK
