What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
There's a moment that feels like a-nothing
Until it's passed away
There's a glow and it won't last forever
Think about it every day
I don't know what you see in me
I don't know why you stay
'Cause you don't owe me nothing
But you give it to me anyway
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
So you think that it's not really working
Well darling look again
It's imperfect and that's why it's perfect
Other colors are so plain
You don't always see the best in me
And I don't know what to say
'Cause you don't owe me nothing
But you give it to me anyway
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
'Cause I know what I got and it's setting me free
Anything that you want then I'm happy to be
'Cause if I don't have your face then there's nothing to see
So baby please don't leave me
Baby please don't leave me
Baby never never never never leave me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
There's a moment that feels like a-nothing
Until it's passed away
There's a glow and it won't last forever
Think about it every day
I don't know what you see in me
I don't know why you stay
'Cause you don't owe me nothing
But you give it to me anyway
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
So you think that it's not really working
Well darling look again
It's imperfect and that's why it's perfect
Other colors are so plain
You don't always see the best in me
And I don't know what to say
'Cause you don't owe me nothing
But you give it to me anyway
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
'Cause I know what I got and it's setting me free
Anything that you want then I'm happy to be
'Cause if I don't have your face then there's nothing to see
So baby please don't leave me
Baby please don't leave me
Baby never never never never leave me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine
What a waste of time
Precious little time
But I'll waste some of yours babe
If you waste some of mine

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.
