A fine day for the classroom and the pupils are here
Julie's got a headache but the others don't care
Sarah's got to stay behind and help with the drill
Teacher's got his eye on her
Moves in for the kill.
Nobody can see or hear the things that they do
All the books stay closed, there must be something they do
Only teacher knows about the subjects they span - span
Education's secondary, being a school mam

Oooooeeee!
Teachers doing fine as far as I can see

Being a school mam
Long holidays in the summer
Being a school mam
Free milk in your coffee break
Being a school mam
Government paid monthly salary checks

Noises heard the principal investigates
She turns on all the cameras but it's too late
Catches both their pants down in a passion war
Hasn't seen it happen since the day she was born
Reaching down for glasses that just can't be found
By the time she finds them, why their down on the ground
Tossing and a turning they've got feverish hands
Lead can be so fluid when you're being a school mam

Oooooeeee!
Teachers doing fine as far as I can see

Being a school mam
Controlling promiscuity after hours
Being a school mam
Giving out detentions by the dozen
Being a school mam
Give her fifty lines (of speed)
Being a school mam

Sucking on her fingernails she can't believe what she's seeing
She's seeing something close to what appears on the screen
Locks her door, with trembling hands and her hearts beating very fast
She pretends she's down there on the floor in the class
Gives herself to teacher although he doesn't know
Works herself into a frenzied state and it shows
Sarah's almost at the top but try as she can
She can't reach her helter skelter
Down with the school man

Just watch her go and help her try if you can
Use your twentieth century imagination - if you've got any

Oooooeeee!
Now she's at the top and teacher sets her free

Being a school mam
Disgusting behavior
Being a school mam
All over the parquet flooring
Being a school mam
Letting the flood gates open wide
Being a school mam

Now the principal collapses dead on the floor
With contentment on her wrinkled old face ever more
She went out the very best way that an old woman can
She was where the action was
Down there with the school man

Oooooeeee!
Teacher never will discover who could see

Being a school mam
One and one make two if you're very lucky
Being a school mam
Two twos make four if I remember correctly
Being a school mam
Four fours make sixteen and sixteen's over age
Sixteen and sixteen makes thirty two
That's approaching middle age
Thirty two and thirty two makes sixty four
That's OAP land
Sixty four and sixty four makes a hundred and twenty eight
A hundred and twenty eight divided by three
Let me pause for reflection for a second
But teacher!
Three doesn't go into a hundred and twenty eight exactly,
But it goes forty two and a bit
Forty three, forty four, forty five, forty six, forty seven
Forty eight, forty nine,
Forty nine, point one, forty nine, point two, forty nine, point three
Forty nine, point four,
Forty nine, point five, forty nine, point six, forty nine, point seven
Forty nine, point eight,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Fifty!

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
