Super cop

I was born to serve justice
But I don't sermonize
Good is good
Bad is bad
And I never compromise

They lock me in a rocket
Made of flesh and bone
I'll meet you in the war zone
With my fists of stone

I'm a super cop
I'm a super cop

My body's a machine
Made to synchronize
Every time I'm called to action
Make me recognize
When the forces of corruption
Do the tyrannize
Then I shift to overdrive
And start to pulverize

I'm a super cop

Eliminate the foe
With karate chops
I'm a super cop
I'm a super charged cop
And I can't be stopped.

I'm a super cop

I was born to serve justice
Get my name
I'm a super cop

Kung fu action is my game
I'm a cop now
A super cop now

He drives around in a world turned upside down
I'm a cop now
A super cop now

He's gotta round up all the evil clowns
I'm a cop now


A super cop now

What he sees just makes him want to cry
I'm a cop now
A super cop now

He works alone 'cause if he don't he'll die

(spoken) the truth and protect
The motto I ascribe to
With equal justice
For the down and out or well to do
I'm a super cop
A gangster's worst nightmare
One man demolition team
I'll send them into disrepair

He's been fighting,
Fighting for so long

I'm a super cop

He's been righting,
Righting every wrong

I'm a super cop

Now he's hiding
From the long arm of the law

I'm a cop now
A super cop now
He gets up and tries to save the world

I'm a cop now
A super cop now
He goes out and tries to find a girl

I'm a cop now
A super cop now
If you're a punk he'll aim straight for your belt

I'm a cop now
A super cop now
He makes the news every time he kicks some butt

Super cop
Super cop
Super cop
Super cop

Super cop
Super cop
Super cop
Super cop

Super cop
Super cop
Super cop
Super cop

    I think that this song is obviously about the fact that pigs have really lost their soul and humanity, and "serve and protect" based on flawed rules made by the government.

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.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
