I was just thinking,
Most of last Wednesday.
I hope we're together
From here until doomsday.
We could be each others arms
Keep each other free from harm.
Cause when it's all stripped to the bone,
My life is at home.

Spring cleaning's coming,
To amuse the cold weather so
Put away your long johns,
All your thick sweaters
And we'll cut off all our winter hair.
Sit out on the lawn chairs.
And the sun forgets that we're here,
We forget our couriers.

[Chorus]
But all the Luke warm weeks,
At 60 degrees.
Now we're hoping it's humid,
Show our sunburned knees.
Cause' once in a lifetime,
Once and a while,
The sun will shine on me.

It's Thursday I'm leaving.
Skip town I'm running,
There's cars and new faces
And jokes that aren't funny,
But we laugh at them anyway.
Do anything just to kill the day.
No matter how far that I go,
That's so far away.

[Chorus]

And all the humid nights
Parked under street lights.
Now my baby's riding shotgun
In her knee high tights.
She looks like heaven,
And I feel like the devil,
In my Sunday whites.

Cause once and a while,
The sun shines on me.

    Sometimes we get caught up in our careers and our lives. It seems like the only way to find happiness is to travel far away and experience different, interesting things, but, in reality, when you find the person that makes you happy that's what is important. Sitting at home with someone you love can be just as rewarding and entertaining as traveling to a far away place or doing something crazy.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
