This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
She's got style
She's got grace
She's got every little thing
But a smile upon her face
She's got wine
Rolling Stones
She's got all the right underwear
She bought just today to show
Every night there doing just the same
But they meet every Friday night under false names
So Mr and Mrs Smith come down
We got your room already for you have a wonderful time
She's got heart
She's got soul
But she's married to the banker man
Who only cares to dig for gold
Yeah
And every night they're doing just the same
But they meet every Friday night under false names
So Mr and Mrs Smith come down
We got your room already for you have a wonderful time
So Mr and Mrs Smith get a round
We got ya drinks all lined up for you in the bar, paint the town
Enjoy the luxury, the atmosphere
And every room got personality
Stay up all night, sleep all day
It's up to you, it's all okay
She likes to sing
She likes to dance
She says to him with every chance
Give me one more night
One more song, one more drink
Shake me all night long
Shake me all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
He's got time, she's got taste
He brings the devil out of her
And puts a smile across her face
So Mr and Mrs Smith come down
We got your room already for you have a wonderful time
Enjoy the luxury, the atmosphere
And every room got personality
Stay up all night, sleep all day
It's up to you, it's all okay
She likes to sing
She likes to dance
She says to him with every chance
Give me one more night, one more song
One more drink, shake me all night long
Shake me all night long
She's got grace
She's got every little thing
But a smile upon her face
She's got wine
Rolling Stones
She's got all the right underwear
She bought just today to show
Every night there doing just the same
But they meet every Friday night under false names
So Mr and Mrs Smith come down
We got your room already for you have a wonderful time
She's got heart
She's got soul
But she's married to the banker man
Who only cares to dig for gold
Yeah
And every night they're doing just the same
But they meet every Friday night under false names
So Mr and Mrs Smith come down
We got your room already for you have a wonderful time
So Mr and Mrs Smith get a round
We got ya drinks all lined up for you in the bar, paint the town
Enjoy the luxury, the atmosphere
And every room got personality
Stay up all night, sleep all day
It's up to you, it's all okay
She likes to sing

She says to him with every chance
Give me one more night
One more song, one more drink
Shake me all night long
Shake me all night long
All night long
All night long

And every room got personality
Stay up all night, sleep all day
It's up to you, it's all okay

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
A song my missus and I can't come to agreement on...
She reckons it's a song about a woman cheating on her husband. Having secret rendezvous under false names. Cynical bitch!
I reckon Mr and Mrs Smith are really Mr and Mrs "so-and-so", but their Friday night hookups under false names are just to add spice to their dull marriage: "Every night there doing just the same But they meet every Friday night under false names".
@Shallow I say it’s about about cheating, and weirdly get mad (as it’s not real) it’s fun with him as it’s fun, but wouldn’t be if they got together. If their other half arnt making happy then leave ????
@Shallow Listen to your wife. In the song \'Mrs Smith\' is married to the boring banker man, so she has an affair with \'Mr. Smith\' meeting up under a false name every Friday. Kelly usually explains the story before singing it live.
@Shallow after last night I’m split. Have always heard this as an affair, but last night at the O2, for the first time I heard this as role-play. Not a lot of anecdotes from Kelly at all last night, unlike 2020, so no explanation for the song.
