One source of energy the ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me never more to be free
Electricity nuclear and H.E.P.
Carbon fuels from the sea wasted electricity

One source of energy electricity
All we need to live today a gift for man to throw
Away, the chance is nearly gone
The alternative is one final source of energy
Solar electricity

    yeah no one has said anything about this song cause i guess there's not much to say. i think it's a good song but the lyrics are pretty dumb and don't really make sense. it's a cover of some 80's synth band so i guess that explains it.

    probably going along with the basic nofx theme for almost every song that they've ever played. has to do with either the US or the government or something in between. electricity is about how the world has become lazy and uses electricity and all that shit to do stuff for them and then turned it into something to kill with.. blah blah blah.. thats nofx for ya

    Not quite the "NOFX Aficionado" then Emirica69? Their songs have the most broadest aspect of anyone I know. Oh and a Punk Band writing about something political (?) Yeah thats new, so quit your bitchin'

    sounds somewhat tacky compared to other nofx songs, and if its a cover of an 80's synth band that would explain alot :P but certainly has its good parts.

    cover of the band OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) most famous for the 80's hit "If You Leave"

    Sometimes you can find this labelled as 'Before you were punk' by NOFX. Might be a sly dig at any fans that liked 80s synth pop before finding NOFX? Good cover I thought anyway.

    NOFX certainly picked some interesting songs to cover.

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"

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
