"I don't belong here" said old Tessa out loud
"Easy, love, there's the Safe Way home"
Thankful for her Fine Fair discount, Tess co-operates

Still alone in o-hell-o
See the deadly nightshade grow

English ribs of beef bone-in 47 p/lb
Peek freans family assorted from 17 1/2 to 12
Fairy liquid giant, slashed from 20 p to 17 1/2

    Song Meaning

    see the deadly nightshade grow. night shade is belladonna atropa, bella donna is 'beautiful woman maturing'. see the belladona grow, seeing her become "hip to the game". It's a story that began with the first song of the album 'Selling England by the Pound" where the woman is with her soldier boyfriend who is swearing his love to his romantic lover, assuming they will making love "for her merchandise...he traded in his prize" and then later on in the song Cinema show, the woman is meeting her beau for a movie. She has innocent thoughts on her mind of making her bed before leaving for her date, while her boyfriend's thoughts are about making his bed with her. This song is "the woman" after her date immediately saying "I don't belong here."

    Where is she? What is this safe way home? Why is she getting a fare discount? What is she cooperating with? Yes we know the grocery store puns, but this is another kind of "market" being hinted at. Peter and company have once again hidden a dark story beneath the many layers of their lyrical and musical art. This woman is learning the rules of commerce, the selling of england, the coarse exchange of something for something, hopes and dreams for continued existence, underlined by the vague but unmistakable feeling of doom and degradation. The difference and the relationship between man and woman, and the inequalities and sorrows of both sides.

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/
