Sexy sugar on the subway train
It's all about the money, all about the money
Cocaine habit just to ease the pain
And to fade away again!

I took my shit and left a message to
A lonely kid screamin', it's all about feeling
Pissed off and out of control
It's hard to be vain in a world that ain't easy

Don't wanna be there when she falls
Don't wanna be there when she cries

She's got her hands all over me
And she was taken n' taken away
She's got her hands where no one can see
She's got her hands all over me
When she screaming to the night
She goes down just to get high!

Young and lonely on the 1 AM
It's all about dreaming, it's all about leaving
Used to be easy when it all began
Just go a little crazy
Sugar's fuckin' crazy!

Don't wanna be there when she falls
Don't wanna be there when she cries

She's got her hands all over me
And she was taken n' taken away
She's got her hands where no one can see
She's got her hands all over me
When she screaming to the night
She goes down just to get high!

Sexy sugar on the subway train
It's all about the money, all about the money
Cocaine habit just to ease the pain
And to fade away again!

Don't wanna be there when she falls
Don't wanna be there when she cries
When she cries!

She's got her hands all over me
And she was taken n' taken away
She's got her hands where no one can see
She's got her hands all over me
When she screaming to the night
She goes down just to get high!

She's got her hands all over me
And she was taken n' taken away
She's got her hands where no one can see
She's got her hands all over me
When she screaming to the night
She goes down just to get high!

Cocaine
Baby
Yea!!

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
