Well, I had me a horse, named Bad Luck
She wasn't good lookin', but she sure could buck
Yeah hoo, hey, hey
Yippee-yi-ki-yay

I put my momma on her, she threw her in the air
My dad said, "Son, that's a mother-buckin' mare"
Yeah hoo, hey, hey
Yippee-yi-ki-yay

I took her to the rodeo, she won second place
Really buckin' good in the buckin' barrel race
Yeah hoo, hey, hey
Yippee-yi-ki-yay - let's rock

Well, I won a thousand dollars and put it in my hat
Bought a brand new saddle, she bucked me outta that
Yeah hoo, hey, hey
Yippee-yi-ki-yay

(Tell ya what)
She bucked me on the pick-up truck, bucked me on the fence
My dad said, "Son, ya got no buckin' sense"
Yeah hoo, hey, hey
Yippee-yi-ki-yay - hep
Play it boys

(Here's the moral of the story)
So if ya got a bucker, don't ever buck around
That buckin' mother-bucker will buck ya on the ground
Yeah hoo, hey, hey
Yippee-yi-ki-yay
Yippee-yi-ki-yay

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
