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.
I got my hair fixed, makeup done, I'm ready to go
Step in the club and you know I'm the show
Diamonds in my teeth are always a' glow
Blinded as I speak, mesmerized by my flow
[pre chorus]
You can't say no
So let's go
Let's go
[chorus]
Spit on the dance floor to know where you are
Slip to the beat cuz you wanna go far
Know you love
And I love "that I'm Jeffree Star"
Spit on the dance floor to know where you are
Slip to the beat drivin' in my pink car
Know you love
And I love "that I'm Jeffree Star"
Cameras are flashin', everyone's askin' what I'm gonna do tonight..
Who I'm gonna do tonight..
We have our haircut, eyes shut, we're already there.
Don't know their names and I don't really care.
'Cause I only suck dick and just to be fair,
You're not on the menu, you'll never compare.
[chorus]
Cameras are flashin', everyone's askin' what I'm gonna do tonight..
Who I'm gonna do tonight..
What I'm gonna do tonight..
Ask Perez Hilton who I'm gonna do tonight..
Step in the club and you know I'm the show
Diamonds in my teeth are always a' glow
Blinded as I speak, mesmerized by my flow
[pre chorus]
You can't say no
So let's go
Let's go
[chorus]
Spit on the dance floor to know where you are
Slip to the beat cuz you wanna go far
Know you love
And I love "that I'm Jeffree Star"
Spit on the dance floor to know where you are
Slip to the beat drivin' in my pink car
Know you love
And I love "that I'm Jeffree Star"
Cameras are flashin', everyone's askin' what I'm gonna do tonight..
Who I'm gonna do tonight..
We have our haircut, eyes shut, we're already there.
Don't know their names and I don't really care.
'Cause I only suck dick and just to be fair,
You're not on the menu, you'll never compare.
[chorus]
Cameras are flashin', everyone's askin' what I'm gonna do tonight..
Who I'm gonna do tonight..
What I'm gonna do tonight..
Ask Perez Hilton who I'm gonna do tonight..

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/

when my friend tried to make me listen to this song i'm like, "shut the fuck up, its jeffree star. i don't care." but then i actually listened to it on his (her?) myspace (it has the full song now) and i loved it. and i especially love how it goes, "ask perez hilton who i'm gonna do tonight." perez hilton is my number one source for celebrities (that i don't care about) gossip.
