This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There's always one
Who think that they know better
Who think they have a right
To know and to judge
And I never
Draw the line
I let it fester and swell
And get the better of me
Not this time... not this time
Because this time I've got my battle axe
Sharpened and swinging
Heads will roll tonight
High School heads
Uni heads
Workmate heads
It's come to this.
Different people
Always asking the same questions
Do you think I haven't asked
And found my own answers
You undermine
Everything
With insipid chatter
It shouldn't matter.
But this time I've got my battle axe
Sharpened and swinging
Heads will roll tonight
Australian Heads
American Heads
English Heads...
...It's a coalition I'm willing to break...
There's always a way
To make your life seem better
Without making mine
Your front-page news
So leave me be
And don't make me
Ashamed to be
All that I am.
Who think that they know better
Who think they have a right
To know and to judge
And I never
Draw the line
I let it fester and swell
And get the better of me
Not this time... not this time
Because this time I've got my battle axe
Sharpened and swinging
Heads will roll tonight
High School heads
Uni heads
Workmate heads
It's come to this.
Different people
Always asking the same questions
Do you think I haven't asked
And found my own answers
You undermine
Everything
With insipid chatter
It shouldn't matter.
But this time I've got my battle axe
Sharpened and swinging
Heads will roll tonight
Australian Heads
American Heads
English Heads...
...It's a coalition I'm willing to break...
There's always a way
To make your life seem better
Without making mine
Your front-page news
So leave me be
And don't make me
Ashamed to be
All that I am.

No Surprises
Radiohead
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/

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.
