This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's never easy to let it all go
Fail to see through it all
Confrontation it's hard to belong
Your words are slightly absurd
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
It's hard to let go of something so good
With your condition at all
It leaves you looking, looking so fine
Always sleeping so fine
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
Cause you've got a list
That everybody wants to be on
Cause you've got a love
Why's it taking so long?
Cause you've got it all
Built with unbreakable parts
Cause if you should fall
We'll buy another and just restart
Cause you were born to rid this world of all the things that we've done
We tend to forget that we're all involved we're all jsut around shooting guns
You never wanted to complete this life so you phoned a couple of friends
We tend to forget that we're all involved, we're all just around shooting guns
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
Cause you were born to rid this world of all the things that we've done
We tend to forget that we're all involved we're all just around shooting guns
You never wanted to complete this life so you phoned a couple good friends
We tend to forget that we're all involved, we're all just around shooting guns
Fail to see through it all
Confrontation it's hard to belong
Your words are slightly absurd
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
It's hard to let go of something so good
With your condition at all
It leaves you looking, looking so fine
Always sleeping so fine
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
Cause you've got a list
That everybody wants to be on
Cause you've got a love
Why's it taking so long?
Cause you've got it all
Built with unbreakable parts
Cause if you should fall
We'll buy another and just restart
Cause you were born to rid this world of all the things that we've done
We tend to forget that we're all involved we're all jsut around shooting guns
You never wanted to complete this life so you phoned a couple of friends
We tend to forget that we're all involved, we're all just around shooting guns
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
You hang around, calm yourself down
Well I've sunk a few of my own
Cause you were born to rid this world of all the things that we've done
We tend to forget that we're all involved we're all just around shooting guns
You never wanted to complete this life so you phoned a couple good friends
We tend to forget that we're all involved, we're all just around shooting guns

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
