This one is for my daddy
Oh you know me, Daddy
Where you been hiding lately?
I ain't seen you lately
I miss your shoes on the doorstep
Whose doorstep they on now?
I'm not trying to start a fight here
I don't want to fight you
Is this my fault? Is this my fault?

Well, Daddy, where have your shoes been?
Is this my fault, some kind of son's sin?
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time

I know you like the ladies
Oh, you're a fool for the ladies
What about your home and your babies?
Well, I ain't a baby
I'm tired of watching the cars pass
I fell asleep at my window
Is this some sort of punishment?
Did I hurt your feelings?
I miss your shoes on the doorstep
Please be there when I get home

Oh, Daddy, where have your shoes been?
Is this my fault, some kind of son's sin?
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time
Hey, Daddy, please tell me
Hey, Daddy, where have your shoes been?
Please say that this is not my fault
Something happy, some kind of sunset
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time
Hey, Daddy, please tell me

Slept on my glove last night
Waited all day to see if you'd make it home
Today was our day, or have you forgotten?

Hey, Daddy, I'm just a kid
Take a minute, think about what you did
I'm starting to feel a bit cheated
Come home and make me feel needed
Please come home and make me feel needed

Hey, Daddy, please tell me
Oh Daddy, where have your shoes been?
Please say that this is not my fault
Something happy, some kind of sunset
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time
Hey Daddy, please tell me

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
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.
