This is the man that I plan to entangle
Isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle
Vengeance was mine
But I’m out of the biz
The name I made I'll trade for his
The only trouble is . . .
I’ll never tell

She is the one she's such wonderful fun
Such passion and grace
Warm in the night when I’m right
In her tight -
Embrace, tight embrace
I’ll never let her go
The love we've known can only grow
There's just one thing that . . .
No, I’ll never tell

Both: Because there's nothing to tell

He snores
She wheezes
Say, "housework," and he freezes
She eats these skeezy cheeses
That I can't describe
I talk, he breezes
She doesn't know what please is
His penis got diseases
From a Chumash tribe
The vibe gets kind of scary
Like she thinks I'm ordinary
Like it's all just temporary
Like her toes are kind of hairy
But it's all very well
Because God knows
I'll never tell

When things get rough
He just hides behind his Buffy
Now look, he's getting huffy
Because he knows that I know
She clings,
She's needy
She's also really greedy
She never -

His eyes are beady!

This is my verse, hello?
She -

Look at me!
I'm dancing crazy!

You know
You're quite the charmer
My knight in armour
You're the cutest of the Scoobies
With your lips as red as rubies
And your firm yet supple -
Tight embrace

He's swell
She's sweller
He'll always be my feller
That's why I’ll never tell her
That I’m petrified
I’ve read this tale
There's wedding
Then betrayal
I know there'll come the day
I'll want to run and hide

I lied
I said it's easy
I’ve tried
But there's these fears I can't quell
Is she looking for a pot of gold?
Will I look good when I’ve gotten old?
Will our lives become too stressful
If I’m never that successful?
When I get so worn and wrinkly
That I look like David Brinkley
Am I crazy?
Am I dreaming?
Am I marrying a demon?
We could really raise the beam
In making marriage a hell
So, thank God
I'll never tell
I swear that
I’ll never tell
My lips are sealed
I take the fifth
Nothing to see
Move it along
I’ll never
Tell

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
