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.
I have no doubt
That I could love you forever (yeah, cut me up in the 'phones)
The only trouble is (yeah)
You really don't have the time
You got one night only (yeah, yeah)
One night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
And when they see me, they C3, baby
She marks her calendar, reschedule every plan
She knows when I'm coming, she's more than a fan
She got my tour dates, she also got a man
But even homie gotta understand
She got
One night only, one night only (yeah)
And no one gon' take it from her, nothing's gon' make her miss it
And when I'm gone, she'll miss it
But she'll never forget that
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah)
Next day another city, she's never coming with me
I'm nothing more than memories, memories she keep forever
She always dream about me, wish she could sleep forever
She get her fit together, she get her shit together
After my concert, she wanna get together
I get her on my bus, we chill and sit together
She has no curfew, I can take the bitch wherever
Come off a bit respectful, I'm on a different level
I got her feeling special, then she remember
She got
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only (yeah, yeah)
But I can make you love me forever
Baby, I can make you love me forever
Now all the hoes hate her, the dudes wanna date her
Her nigga saw her leave, she deal with him later
Right now she with the greatest, I'm even homie's favorite
How could he even blame her, she doing him a favor
She let that nigga love her, she let that nigga save her
But when I come she let a nigga take her
Take her for
One night only, one night only (yeah)
Yeah, she turning off her phone, she turning off her pager
Tell him that shit on roam, that nigga going in labor
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah)
These niggas hate the game, but they can't block the layup
And she go home to him, he sicker than a patient
He waiting at the table, no breakfast at the table
He ask her where she been, she say, "Stop trippin', it was"
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only (yeah, yeah)
But I can make you love me forever
I can make you love me forever, yeah
Them older bitches jealous, say she's a groupie whore
But every woman in this world was you before
See everybody wished upon that superstar
But when it come true, how true you are
You got your
One night only, one night only (yeah)
Yeah, see, I can't be her man, and she can't be my girl
Oh, but we fuck like it's the end of the world
And we got
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
I got a wife, she knows, my wife ain't on the road
When she come to my room, she take off all her clothes
Say anything goes, tomorrow, same clothes
We probably order movies, we probably lay together
But we can't stay together, that's when I gotta tell her
I have no doubt
That I could love you forever
The only trouble is
You really don't have the time
You got one night only (yeah, yeah)
One night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only (yeah, yeah)
Yeah
That I could love you forever (yeah, cut me up in the 'phones)
The only trouble is (yeah)
You really don't have the time
You got one night only (yeah, yeah)
One night only, that's (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only (yeah, yeah)
One night only, one night only, that's (yeah, yeah)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
