One two
Since the day I've spoken
My home was broken to
When the door was open
I was out and smokin'
I didn't look for trouble
Trouble looked for me
But that'd be a lie you'd see
Me and trouble got along just fine
Out getting pissed on the beer and the wine
It didn't take long before I met people just like me
Feel plot and foxy
We made a little team, if you know what I mean
Checked a few scenes
Seen a few fiends
Sprayed a few trains
Played a few games
Hung around with faces and names
Went out with pretty young dames
Young love and young flames

It's alright, just keep on moving

Wasn't nothing but sorrow in the house
I wasn't there
I went out
With the boys just hanging about
Playing round and acting like louts
In them days overcoming our doubts
Serving up just to keep a little clout
Ploty introduced me to stealing
I knew ol' mothers words now had lost their meaning
Just stole paint to put up my name
Pretty soon it all seemed the same
So this was my brand new game
Stone island, and Ralph Lauren
That's what we were wearing then
I loved them days so I look back again
The club scene was banging at the time
House and garish, pills and white lines
Kurosawa little strain on the mind
We dealt with it
We were fine
It felt like it was our time
Seven, and the eight to the nine
Hit ten, now let's climb
Hit ten, now it's our time (cos it's our time)

It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, alright, so let's make it right

It's alright, alright, so let's make it right
It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, just keep on moving

We all wanna rise up in the world
Stay in and make love with our girls
When I look back it's all just a whirl
And when I think back it's all just a swirl
My mind moves to the music game
And that's where my future seemed to lay
Tommy d was the next man's name
We made a few tracks and had a little fame
But we didn't make that for fame
We made a few tracks for mankind to pay (play)
And that's true, what more can I say
I'm not in the game to play
I'm just in the game to say
Everything's gonna be okay
Don't stress cos there's always a way
Doesn't matter if your jeans get frayed
Cos there's no such word as afraid
It took awhile but we made the high grade
It took awhile but we made the high grade

It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, alright, so let's make it right
It's alright, alright, so let's make it right

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
