This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Its Christmas time,
I wrote a dumb ass rhyme,
about whats on tv,
they shoot it in jersey.
I'm gonna pretend,
that hair my hair don't bend,
that I'm a Guido,
that probably wears a speedo.
I love my hair gel,
I always yell,
I think I'm hot as hell,
see that's what my mama tells me.
I have perfect abs,
they are right above my crabs,
they should be gone by now,
I guess Ill go work out.
Because,
they Santa Claus wears red patent leather,
however good he looks, bitch I'd look better,
Fat as hell but quiet as a fuckin' mouse.
Don't know much bout you but I swear to heaven,
if some punk comes in past eleven,
I'ma kick ass I'm the situation,
that's how it's done in the Jersey Shore nation.
I'm on probation.
Not coppin' attitude,
mothafucka whats wrong with you,
Ill break your goddamn arm,
oh, excuse me father Tom.
Its Christmas time,
I'm drunk on bad church wine,
tried to sleep with a nun,
she said no but I think she wanted some.
Because,
they say Santa Claus wears red patent leather,
however good he looks, bitch Id look better
Fat as hell but quiet as a fuckin' mouse.
Don't know much 'bout you but I swear to heaven,
if some punk comes in past eleven,
I'ma kick ass I'm the situation,
that's how its done in the Jersey Shore Nation.
It's a stupid joke,
about guys who are really yoked,
I hope they never see,
they'd come to murder me.
I mean no harm,
no need to sound the alarm,
Ill see you on TMZ,
Merry Christmas Jersey.
Livin' it up in the hotel of California,
such a lovely place, such a lovely place.
Plenty of room at the hotel of California,
anytime of year, you can find me here.

No Surprises

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
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/
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
loveeee this song.
Hey, you missed a lyric, it goes:
they Santa Claus wears red patent leather, however good he looks, bitch I'd look better, middle of the night he's in your house, Fat as hell but quiet as a fuckin' mouse.
Because, they Santa Claus wears red patent leather, however good he looks, bitch I'd look better, middle of the night he's in your house, Fat as hell but quiet as a fuckin' mouse.
This song just pokes fun at the TV show. Really quite simple, and I got a laugh out of it.
