This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Je fais le gosse
Je fais le thé
Je bois la tasse
Et je me tais
Tu fais négoce
De poupées culottés
Qui n'ont de cesse
Que de l'enlever
Femme et maîtresse
Le mâle est fait
Ainsi font
Et puis se défont
Les maris honnêtes
Moi, je regrette
Mais j'arrête
J'craque, monsieur
J'craque, monsieur
Toi, tu manges les filles des yeux
Et moi, qu'est-ce que tu veux?
J'craque, monsieur
J'craque, monsieur
Tu caches des dames dans ton jeu
Ça met les armes aux yeux
Fan au foyer
Pour un ours mal léché
Je roule des pelles
Oui, mais voilà
Tu te fais la belle
La belle au Bois
Ainsi, tu fonces
Et tu m'enfonces
Les cornes dans la tête
Ça me rend bête
Faut qu't'arrêtes
J'craque, monsieur
J'craque, monsieur
Toi, tu manges les filles des yeux
Et moi, qu'est-ce que tu veux?
J'craque, monsieur
J'craque, monsieur
Tu caches des dames dans ton jeu
Oh, ça met les armes aux yeux
Ah, j'craque, monsieur
J'craque, monsieur
Toi, tu manges les filles des yeux
Dis-moi, qu'est-ce que tu veux?
J'craque, monsieur
J'craque, monsieur
Tu caches des dames dans ton jeu
Oh, je craque, monsieur
Je fais le thé
Je bois la tasse
Et je me tais
Tu fais négoce
De poupées culottés

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
