Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes

Fall Out Boy

I'm coming apart at the seams
Pitching myself for leads in other people's dreams
Like buzz, buzz, buzz
Doc, there's a hole where something was
Doc, there's a hole where something was

Fell out of bed
Butterfly bandage
But don't worry
You'll never remember
Your head is far too blurry
Put him in the back of a squad car
Restrain that man
He needs his head put through a cat scan
Hey editor, I'm undeniable
Hey doctor, I'm certifiable

Oh, I'm a loose bolt of a complete machine
What a match
I'm half doomed and you're semi-sweet

So boycott love
Detox just to retox
And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life
Imperfect boys
With their perfect ploys
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy
(Wants to hear you sing about tragedy)
Ooh oh oh

Little girl
You got me staring odd, oh
Or was that just a telescopic camera nod
Painted doors in the highway
Truck stop stalls
Lot-lizards scales to deny my rules
All the rookies leave your badge and your gun on the desk, when you leave the room

I'm a loose bolt of a complete machine
What a match
I'm half doomed and you're semi-sweet

Boycott love
Detox just to retox
And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life (another shot at life)
Imperfect boys
With their perfect ploys
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy
(Wants to hear your sing about tragedy) oooh

(Detox just to retox)
(Detox just to retox)
(Detox just to retox)
(Detox just to retox)
So boycott love (detox just to retox)
Boycott love (detox just to retox)
Boycott love (detox just to retox)

So boycott love (boycott love)
Detox just to retox
And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life
Imperfect boys
With their perfect ploys
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy
(Wants to hear you sing)
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy
(Wants to hear you sing about tragedy) whoa

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/
