You're Sixteen

Ringo Starr

Woo
You come on like a dream
Peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine (ooh, mine all mine)

You're all ribbons and curls (ooh)
Ooh, what a girl (ooh)
Eyes that sparkle and shine (ooh)
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine (ooh)
Mine all mine, mine, mine, mine

You're my baby, you're my pet (ooh wah, wah)
We fell in love on the night we met (ooh wah, wah, wah)
You touched my hand, my heart went pop (ooh)
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop (ooh)

You walked out of my dreams, and into my arms (ahh)
Now you're my angel divine (ahh)
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)

You're my baby, you're my pet (ooh wah, wah, wah)
We fell in love on the night we met (ooh, we fell in love)
You touched my hand, my heart went pop (ooh what a night, ooh what a night)
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop (ooh-ooh)

You walked out of my dreams, and into my car (ahh)
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)
You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)
You're sixteen, so beautiful, and you're mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)
All mine, all mine, all mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)
All mine, all mine, all mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)

All mine, all mine, all mine (ooh wah, wah, wah)
All mine, all mine, all mine (ooh wah, wah, wah) (I shouldn't love you, but I do)
You are- (ooh wah, wah, wah)

What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

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.

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.

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.
