This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The cosmos at large it's so very big
It's so far away
The cometsthe cratersthe vapors
The solar wind
The residual echoesthe residual echoes
The residual echoes from the giant explosion
Where they said it beginned
The germs from space!
The negative-virus knit-wear
The blobulent suit
That's right! THE BLOBULENT SUIT
It's made of rubbert, it's very ugly
It's got an air hose
(The guy that has it all has a SPACE WRENCH)
The things that were supposed to be green
In the balck and white movies
They get you in the neck
When you're not looking
They get you, the get you
They get you, get you, get you
The radio is broken - it don't work no more
The radio is broken - it don't work no more
The lovely Lisa Kranston:
(Her father invented the secred
Fuel (that's right) for the rocket)
So she gets to go with a clipboard!
She writes it down when the meters go around
And falls in love in a space warp space warp
Space warp the giant knobs
The porthole where you see the
Earth for the first time
The corrugated fiberglass interior walls
The parially reclining G-force lawn furniture
The brown hole the pointed brasseries
The atomic war
The tiny little dresses on the space girls
A love-starved race begging to reproduce
With earthmen
They need to reproduce (with John Agar)
They need to reproduce (with Morris Ankrum)
They need to reproduce
(with Richard Basehart)
They need to reproduce (with Jackie Coogan)
They need to reproduce (with Sonny Tufts)
The botchinothe botchinothe botchino
The gigantic spider
The co-pilot always plays the harmonica
The navigator always gets killed by
A bad space person
Uh oh - the radio is broken
It don't work anymore the radio is broken
It don't work anymore the radio is broken
It don't work anymore
We'll never get back to the Earth no more
Uh oh! We have to fall in love on Uranus!
The radio is that's right - uh oh
The radio is broken the meteor storm
You spilled your coke
You're stepping on the popcorn jOHN AGAR!
Uh oh (Dwarf Nebula)
It's so far away
The cometsthe cratersthe vapors
The solar wind
The residual echoesthe residual echoes
The residual echoes from the giant explosion
Where they said it beginned
The germs from space!

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.
