Now I'm gonna tell you a story
Ain't gonna tell no lies
Tell you about a little Spanish boy
And the story of his life
He was just barely seventeen
When his whole world blow apart
Hidden in the country of a Spanish crown
This was only just the start
His daddy was a gangster
His mama was a whore
He lived on the coast in a Spanish town
In southern El Salvador
He was happy as a stock boy
Keeping busy all day through
Never listened to the other boys talk
It was strictly against the rules
Oh yeah, he was a passive boy
But one day he heard them talking
About some trouble outside of town
Two men were shot cold dead in the street
Two rebels can't be found
He hears it on the radio
Sees it on the news
Sat around, before too long
There's something he's gotta do
His mama told him one day
Boy, you're gonna be a man
You better make sure
What crowd you're with
'Cause you gotta have the upper hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You better make sure
What crowd you're with
'Cause you gotta have the upper hand
Shoot 'em, Whitford
It was a hot September night
Packed himself some rolls
Grabbed a pair of his daddy's boots
And headed quietly out the door
He looked up at the moon so bright
His heart was filled with fear
He's walking through the dark of night
Where a man shed no tears
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Looking at the stars so bright
His heart filled with fear
Oh yeah, oh yeah
He's walking through the dark of night
Where a man sheds no tears
He was just a Spanish boy
Listen
I'm gonna tell you a story
Ain't gonna tell you no lies
I told you 'bout this Spanish boy
And the story of his life
His daddy was a gangster
His mama was a whore
He had no choice
But to join the fight
The rebels of Salvador
He was a Spanish boy (Living fast)
A Spanish boy (A life so hard)
He was a Spanish boy (God gave the order)
A Spanish boy
Just a Spanish boy,
Oh working too hard stock boy

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
