Hooray For Earth – Surrounded By Your Friends Lyrics 14 years ago
16>>So cuss to your home
17>>That it hurts
18>>Not a hundred yards from work
19>>Everything all around
20>>And still familiar

these lines seem to invoke images of leaving home to find work. "cuss to your home, that it hurts." you call home and feign homesickness to the friends, even despite the overarching familiarity of your new surroundings.

throughout the song there is the idea of return and the feeling of familiarity.

Hooray For Earth – Surrounded By Your Friends Lyrics 14 years ago
12>>The things they do are really not so new
13>>You're better off to just have a blast
14>>Oh the shoulder that you got the last
15>>Oh the comfort

lines 12 and 13 seem to reject the culture of novelty and cynicism (also known as hipster). rather than seeking new pursuits and experiences at the expense of pleasure and companionship, the writer asserts it is preferable to stop trying and enjoy simple things such as alcohol (line two) and the company of women (line four). lines 14 and 15 reinforce this; they are sung to the joy of temporary, yet familiar companionship.
