I'd like to sing a story for you
Here's what I'd sing if I could impress you
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?
You've got to be the prettiest girl
I've ever witnessed in the whole world
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?

We both talk about love
We both know about love
We both sing the songs
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?

Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on

I'd like to write a story for you
With a little melody pretty for you
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?
Never condescend to humming, my dear
Always speak the words so lovely to hear
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?

We both talk about love
We both know about love
We both sing the songs
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?

Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on

Where did you come from
Where are you now?
Just like an angel
Seems like you left me
When you broke down
Down, down, down

Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now
Yeah, come on, come on now

    Okay, you're all gonna think I'm crazy but this song is brilliant. I know it sounds like a happy-go-lucky pop song. Personally, I don't think there is anything happy about it. If you listen to the lyrics. It seems like a plea. Especially the verse near the ending. "Where did you come from? Where are you now?? Two-sided angel! It seems like you left me when you fall down!!"

    The other clues being, "We both talk/know about love" etc. This is a pretty sad song. Kinda tongue in cheek w/ a light-hearted beat. Yet is about the dark nature of love. Whadda ya think? Or am I thinking WAY too much?

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.
