Sitting in the park with a walkman on nodding my neck hard
And pardon me I didn't see you there.
Thank god for the gift of midriff driftin by,
Catch a whiff and get high, on a spliff, yes I…

I'm talking better than dope and I really like dope
And so it must be good, could it get any better?
Shoulda set the sun off with a nice cool breeze,
To ease the sweet smell of sweat run off, so please come off.

You feel me like a breeze blowing, sitting under trees writing,
Liking looking out at the seas and fallen leaves,
And breathing in the change of season, I don't even need a reason
To be boozing when I'm cruising, as long as shit is pleasing.

I love seeing the sun coming into my cave,
And still crave the haze and find so many ways to misbehave.
See the josh did done that, and still caught the sunset
Drunk as fuck screaming “are we having fun yet?”

See the josh did done that,
And still caught the sunset,
Drunk as fuck screaming
“Are we having fun yet?”

Chorus:
Another Day, Another Dollar
Wanna Play? Give me a holler.
Let's get faded on the bottle
And forget about tomorrow
Let's create a song of sorrow
How we always need to borrow
Loot to get loose,
Who gives a fuck about tomorrow?

Verse 2:
Look out on the water and watch the sun setting
You can smell the rum and coke and you can see that some forgetting,
Come the summer ends in smoke soaking up all them rays
It'll end in autumn leaves, smoking trees on rainy days.

The greens of today are the browns of tomorrow
And yesterday's sorrow is the legacy we follow
In the yesteryears, the X amount of beers we quenched our fears with,
Were forgotten like so many friends we went and spilled our tears with.

To me the seas are calling, see I've fallen into love
With ska, dub and the dope dancehall.
It seized me by the collar and it hollered you've been mollycoddled long enough.
Are you man enough? Are you strong enough?

The world is yours but your divorced from it.
So close to the top and you haven't seen the summit.
Been talking and dreaming for so long and ain't done it.
When the prey becomes the predator, the dream becomes the hunted.


Chorus:
Another Day, Another Dollar
Wanna Play? Give me a holler.
Let's get faded on the bottle
And forget about tomorrow
Let's create a song of sorrow
How we always need to borrow
Loot to get loose,
Who gives a fuck about tomorrow?

Verse 3
Man I'm missing sitting kissing, talking shit, and pissing wine.
Getting sunk feeling, remember reeling drunk and drooling time
ON life I'm buzzing nicely, maybe it might be caused
By laws that aren't likely to have teeth, let alone jaws

Each and every leech that has a cause is always preaching
A one-sided thesis that comes from flawed teaching.
Smoking pot to pass the time, what a crock I'm past my prime.
But where's the clock that's telling time, when I'm the rock that time forgot.

Not ready to go steady, not into the petty.
The pity parties and confetti…I been there already.
I can be your man if you'd only understand
That I can't be held down by nothing just yet.

I don't care about the money, shit, I wanna live right too.
But one plus one equals none left for me to like you.
If you want it, you got it, you break it you bought it.
You thought it would be cool to play the fool, you've been spotted.

If you want it, you got it,
You break it you bought it.
You thought it would be cool
Play the fool, you've been spotted.

Chorus:
Another Day, Another Dollar
Wanna Play? Give me a holler.
Let's get faded on the bottle
And forget about tomorrow
Let's create a song of sorrow
How we always need to borrow
Loot to get loose,
Who gives a fuck about tomorrow?

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Blue
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.

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.
