There's a story about a bloke named Jerry
Got slaughtered and got real lairy
In the pub he acted obsurred
And he came onto a boxer's bird
So he got knocked out
Face swelled up like a rainbow trout
His girl found out the truth
But he couldn't explain cause he'd lost a tooth

I wanna drink drink drink smoke fuck fight
I wanna shout, drink, scream, I wanna die!
I wanna be arrested
I wanna be molested
And my heads in pain, next weekend lets do it again!

An anecdote about a man named Clive
Wasn't one to usually drink drive
And after all he'd been through a stack
And so it was abit far to walk back
A month later and he's sitting in court
For the two lives he cut short
Man slaughter he's convicted
For the pain that he inflicted

spinning, my head is spinning, up around around!
Down to the pub
Up to the club!
My stomach's turning, oh my body's burning
Our liquid lives
This is how we all survive

Here's a story about a chap named Bart
Drank 4 pints in hour and a half
Although the night had just begun
Cause the local pub was open till one
The next morning out in the country
Hung over and on the hunky
Was still drunk and pissed himself
Found a pistol and shot himself (?)

I wanna drink drink drink smoke fuck fight
I wanna shout, drink, scream, I wanna die!
I wanna be arrested
I wanna be molested
And I've damaged my brain, next weekend lets do it again!

Here's a story about a girl named Kate
Got wasted and got date raped
When they told the doctors she'd sued
The found no chemicals was in her bloodstream
'Well nothing malicious, but the alcohol levels were suspicious!'
When asked who had hurt her
Poor old (?) couldn't remember.

Our liquid lives this is how we all survive
And my heads in pain, next weekend lets do it again
Down to the pub
Up to the club!
And I've damaged my brain, next weekend lets do it again!

Spinning, my head is spinning, up around around!
Down to the pub
Up to the club!
My stomach's turning, oh my body's burning
Our liquid lives
This is how we all survive

(Go on, drink up England! Come on, swig it up. It's what you all do best!)

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.
