I am he who is X, Y and Zee
I carry no card, my life is cheap
Have no worries, I do not fret
Some may have what I'm yet to get

And you may wonder, "Is it how?"
A kitten may turn into a cow
With bells and horns
And tinned corned beef

Forests, profits
Plastic High Streets
I am he who is A, B and Cee

An easy option
Like twentieth century
Satisfaction guaranteed
It's easy

Let's steal a spaceship
And head for the sun
And shoot the stars with
A lemonade ray gun

Make a movie and
A TV show
You be Jane
I'm George Jetson

I am you, you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us
We are one

From out our window
We can see
Electric sunshine
Oxygen factories

Clockwork tides
Synthetic trees
Just like the real ones
On Vee Tee

Mother nature and father time
Used to be good friends of mine
But now we've put them in a home
Filed them under, "Uses unknown?

"No pop, no style"
Is a phrase out of phase
To praise what's worthwhile
This is as good as it gets
This is the best

Let's catch the last rays
Of civilization and tune-in to a
Sub-space station, turn up the DJ
Let's get lost in intergalactic
Punk rock, hip hop

I am you, you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us
We are one

This is the time
The time of our lives
Escaping time
For the all time highs

Of love, lust, laughter
That make us sweat
Let's stimulate
Sensory amplification

This is PWEI-zation
This is this
It's the living end
"Je t'aime, encore, je t'aime"

I am you, you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us
We are one

    General Comment

    "X, Y, and Zee" is a 1972 British movie that's mostly famous for the Liz Taylor/Susannah York/Michael Caine threesome.

    It's also the alternate name for the movie's theme song, also titled "Going in Circles", which became more famous when it was covered by Three Dog Night.

    I don't think the PWEI song has anything to do with either; I think they just liked the title, which conjures up impressions of threes, and of the end of everything, and of non-Britishness ("zee" rather than "zed").

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
