This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The night's a spill, a permanent stain
The city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
A blue glow from the TV again
The curtains never open, faces never show
And every time a light is turned on
There's a light that's turned off somewhere
For every other moment that's lost
There's a perfect cost, there's a debt you can't share
Clock stopped at the corner of Albert will show
Your last bus left an hour ago
So stumble down the stairs again
Pretend you're not too proud
To understand and still know when
Your voice cuts through the crowd
Lonely people talk too loud
The night's a spill, a permanent stain
The city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
A blue glow from the TV again
The curtains never open, faces never show
And every night they play the same song
To the same offbeat believers
And everyone is singing along
Wearing blue-black eyes, wearing dead men's neck-ties
Clock stopped at the corner of Albert will show
Your last bus left an hour ago
So stumble down the stairs again
Pretend you're not too proud
To understand and still know when
Your voice cuts through the crowd
Lonely people talk too loud
Numbers on a washroom stall
There's always more than one last call calling you
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
The city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
A blue glow from the TV again
The curtains never open, faces never show
And every time a light is turned on
There's a light that's turned off somewhere
For every other moment that's lost
There's a perfect cost, there's a debt you can't share
Clock stopped at the corner of Albert will show
Your last bus left an hour ago
So stumble down the stairs again
Pretend you're not too proud
To understand and still know when
Your voice cuts through the crowd
Lonely people talk too loud
The night's a spill, a permanent stain
The city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
A blue glow from the TV again
The curtains never open, faces never show
And every night they play the same song
To the same offbeat believers
And everyone is singing along
Wearing blue-black eyes, wearing dead men's neck-ties
Clock stopped at the corner of Albert will show
Your last bus left an hour ago
So stumble down the stairs again
Pretend you're not too proud
To understand and still know when
Your voice cuts through the crowd
Lonely people talk too loud
Numbers on a washroom stall
There's always more than one last call calling you
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes

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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
This songs ends the same way 'Temptation' by New Order begin, lyric-wise.
