When the stiff wind blows
the flag don't wiggle
in the party of special things to do
I met the ace of love
she took me to her plantation
for the love without separation

In the party of special things to do
it could happen to me
it could happen to you

I met the ace of love
she said I want you to go
to the party of special things to do
and when you're through
I'll be right here waiting for you
here take these sparks
so my distant cousins can get along with you
watch out for the mirror man
and elixir sue

When I got to the party of special things to do
it wasn't hard to find Elixir Sue
I met all the cards
the wild cards
the one-eye jill
the red queen
she turned her head
you know what I mean
she turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I want to lay on you"

I met them all
at the party of special things to do
when I was done
I was far from through
I returned to the ace of love
now wouldn't you?
I met them all
the cabal were uniting
the cabal were uniting

It wasn't hard to find liquor at the do
I met all the cards
the wild cards
you know what I mean
then she turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I think I want to lay on you"

I met elixir sue
at the party of special things to do
it's so special

    My Interpretation

    There's a reason why this song gives you an Alice In Wonderland vibe: Both of them are about drugs, lol. I do NOT know all the references specifically, but I've been told it's all there.

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.

Magical
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
