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/

you're wrong about this song being nonsense...it is written in Nadsat though, which is the language from the movie A Clockwork Orange (which the video for the song is based)...the title of it Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Krovvy) is even written in it..."The Red Red Krovvy" is blood. Here's what it's about, line by line...
My Durango, # 95 In the book A Clockwork Orange the main character, Alex, and his droogs (friends) steal a car called a Durango 95.
Take me to the home, kick boots and ultra live Inside of a house with a rock outside that reads "home", Alex and his friends beat an old man and rape his wife while he watches...I'm pretty sure after the "Take me to the home" part the lyrics are wrong.
See heaven, flash real horrorshow Alex and his friends drink milk laced with drugs named Moloko which Alex discribes as being like seeing heaven. Real horrorshow means real good.
Knock it nice and smooth step back and watch it flow I'm pretty sure this isn't really what he's singing either
Yeah the devil, ride a dinosaur, he paint the monster red so the blood dont stain the floor I'm pretty sure this is wrong, but if it isnt, rob zombies probably the only person who knows what it means.
In-Out, real savage show, skorry as a shot came sickness After he gets caught Alex signs up for an expiremental treatment where they hold his eyes open, drug him, and make him watch videos of violence and sex (in-out). the drug causes him to get sick. Skorry means "fast".
So see, it's not meaningless. It's just you have to have read A Clockwork Orange or have seen the movie of it to get what it's meaning is.
The song tries to pick up on the meaning of the book "A Clockwork Orange" which is that we all have in us the ability to do good and bad, and we make the choice wheter or not we wil be good or bad. The book itself is an examination of whether or not 'evil' is innate or cultured, and reflects a dystopian future society (set in 1995 - as it was written in 1962). The song itself is using the language of the book (and subsequent film; it is an excellent example of the timelessness of the themes of Anthony Burgess' work
the satanic monster that is alex is the dinosaur<br />
This song is like.. gahh.. lol. It's Edge's THEME music! When i hear the.. "scream if you want it" i hear.. in my head. "scream if you want edge" hahahah.. eDge is hot...
such a great song. i don't even know what to say about it. it's great. :-p
The video is inspired by "A Clockwork Orange."
clocxkwork, thank you look in the back ofthe book it tells you that horror show means smooth and quick,in-out is sex...etc.
Anyone who hasnt read A Clockwork Orange shouldnt be claiming to know what this song is about. The meaning is really obvious.
as its Edge's theme song it has to be something like this.though not so good lyrics if u listen it as urself but if u listen it with Edge in my mind,it surely is worth listening!
if its edge's song it would have have been great i think it has great lyrics and tune good work keep it up!!!!
who the hell is edge?
huh
IF YOUR WONDERING WHO "EDGE" IS HES A WWF WRESTLER AND ONE OF THE SUCCESSFUL ONES ON TJE ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP , ANYWAYS BACK TO THE SONG IT NEEDS THE EDGE "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" AT THE BEGINING AND IT WOULD BE THE VERY BEST !!
