Le gars des nouvelles a revisé son bulletin avant d'entrer en ondes
Pas d'nouveau rien qu'du vieux ça va toujours aussi bien dans l'monde
Aujourd'hui c'est un homicide à coup d'machette
Demain ce s'ra un robineux qui meurt de frette

Heille! donnez-moi un break avant que j'meure de rire
Ça prend pas la tête à Papineau
Pour s'rendre compte qu'on manque le métro...

Le gars des nouvelle l'a annoncé en primeur pendant son bulletin
"On signe pas d'accord sur l'environnement" ont déclaré les Américains
Même si la terre est devenue une cour à scrap
Pis qu'avant qu'avant longtemps on va être rayés d'la map

Heille! donnez-moi un break avant que j'meure de rire
Ça prend pas la tête à Papineau
Pour s'rendre compte qu'on manque le métro...

Le gars des nouvelles l'a appris par son chum d'la section des sports
Un joueur de baseball vient de signer un contrat pour un milliard
Quand un athlète fait cent fois l'salaire d'un médecin
Moi j'dis qu'c'est ça l'déclin d'l'empire américain

Heille! donnez-moi un break avant que j'meure de rire
Ça prend pas la tête à Papineau
Pour s'rendre compte qu'on manque le métro...

Le gars des nouvelles l'a annoncé en primeur spéctaculaire
La chanteuse conne se serait mariée en cachette avant-hier
Pendant qu'y s'brasse d'la marde partout sur la planète
Les gens aiment ben mieux les p'tits potins du jet-set

Heille! donnez moi un break avant que j'meure de rire
Ça prend pas la tête à Papineau
Pour s'rendre compte qu'on manque le métro...

Le gars des nouvelles a quitté tout juste après la fin du show
Sans saluer ni regarder ses collègues sur le plateau
Y'é descendu su'l quai d'la station Frontenac
Pis y s'est garroché au beau milieu d'la track

On a entendu l'métro pis y s'est mis à rire
Le lendemain les journaux
Ont affirmé qu'y ont r'trouvé sa tête à Papineau

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels

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.
