Your weakness
But if you like to fight
This is the last time
This is the last time
Dried up and away
With discerning mental love affairs
I’d rather stick with any number
of these played-out fairy tales and
Moments of your [yellow shining]
Spending your time in an hiding
Making out the reasons why
The [life your seen] the public eye
With everything you try,
Well it’s never good enough
Oh! These friends die easy
Oh! Just disappear
Oh! Well, my best friend,
I knew these lives would end up here [x2]
…
Your weakness
But if you like to fight
This is the last time
This is your last time
If I could tell you any and everything
Don’t ask, just tell, like I should,
Like I know you never could and
Moments come out of hiding
(Spitting weakness to colors) shining
The dark you see, the reason why
You fail at everything you try
With everything you are,
Well it’s never good enough
Oh! These friends die easy
Oh! Just disappear
Oh! Well, my best friend,
I knew these lives would end up here [x2]
I knew these lives would end up here
So then
And I won’t even say good-bye
And I won’t even say good-bye [x2]
Oh! These friends die easy
Oh! Just disappear
Oh! Well, my best friend,
I knew these lives would end up here [x2]
I knew these lives would end up here…
But if you like to fight
This is the last time
This is the last time
Dried up and away
With discerning mental love affairs
I’d rather stick with any number
of these played-out fairy tales and
Moments of your [yellow shining]
Spending your time in an hiding
Making out the reasons why
The [life your seen] the public eye
With everything you try,
Well it’s never good enough
Oh! These friends die easy
Oh! Just disappear
Oh! Well, my best friend,
I knew these lives would end up here [x2]
…
Your weakness
But if you like to fight
This is the last time
This is your last time
If I could tell you any and everything
Don’t ask, just tell, like I should,
Like I know you never could and
Moments come out of hiding
(Spitting weakness to colors) shining
The dark you see, the reason why
You fail at everything you try
With everything you are,
Well it’s never good enough
Oh! These friends die easy
Oh! Just disappear
Oh! Well, my best friend,
I knew these lives would end up here [x2]
I knew these lives would end up here
So then
And I won’t even say good-bye
And I won’t even say good-bye [x2]
Oh! These friends die easy
Oh! Just disappear
Oh! Well, my best friend,
I knew these lives would end up here [x2]
I knew these lives would end up here…

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Failure, give up, don't try at all Anymore, anymore
Your weakness Manipulate no more This is the last time This is the last time
Write off, and away with discerning Mental love affairs I'd rather stick with any number of These played-out fairy tales, and Moments of your yellow shining Spending your time hating in hiding Making up the reasons why The light you seen, the public eye When everything you try, well it's Never good enough

Oh! These friends die easy Oh! Just disappear Oh! Well my best friend I knew these Lies would end up here
Your weakness Manipulate no more This is the last time This is the last time
If I can tell you any and everything Don't ask, just tell it like I should Like I know you never could, and Moments come out of hiding Spilling weakness, true colors Shining The dark you see, the reason why You fail at everything you try When everything you are, well it's Never good enough
Oh! These friends die easy Oh! Just disappear Oh! Well my best friend I knew these Lies would end up here
Oh! These friends die easy Oh! Just disappear Oh! Well my best friend I knew these Lies would end up here
Stay gone And I won't even say goodbye And I won't even say goodbye
Stay gone And I won't even say goodbye And I won't even say goodbye
Oh! These friends die easy Oh! Just disappear Oh! Well my best friend I knew these Lies would end up here
Oh! These friends die easy Oh! Just disappear Oh! Well my best friend I knew these Lies would end up here I knew these lives would End up here

I'm disappointed to see nobody has tried to say what this song is about- this is my favorite DRUGS song. For some reason, this song reminds me of well, drugs. The whole chorus just reeks of knowing people who get older and become addicts. When I hear this song I always think of heroin.
