This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go, go
Uh, on the count of three, everybody run back to your fantasy, now
(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go, go
And on the count of three, everybody run back to your fantasy, now (go)
She was a bad, uh
The type at the club niggas would grab her (go)
Fantasize when I had her in the bathroom sweatin' with her ass up (go)
The body of a dancer
We had chemistry 'cause she was a Cancer
Thought forever it would last for
But forever moved faster so I had to (go)
Still I gotta pause when I think about her in them drawers (go)
And uh, ooh baby, she liked it raw
And like rain when she came it poured (go)
And like a car that I can't afford
I would want it, then want some more, uh
The positions our frames explored let me know
She was secure, back for more I wanna
(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three

(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go, go
And on the count of three, everybody run back to your fantasy, now (go)
Freaky like the daughter of a pastor
Said I was bait and for her to master (go)
Little red Corvette, nah, she was faster
Wet dreams, La Mer cream the bath, uh (go)
We'd make love and then laughter
And any way I wanted I could have her
Said there was some girls that did attract her
A new chapter she was after, so I said let's (go)
To a place that you wanna be, uh
Get what you want from her and me, uh (go)
Free love I wanna see, uh
Hot sex in the third degree, uh (go)
You're gettin' served while servin' me, uh
Dirty words encourage me to
Rock steady and sturdily on
You're turning me, no turning back the further we

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I love this song. And it's about a beautiful woman he fantasizes about. Just really well put together song, and his voice is so smooth. (:
