i licked the lap of luxury
bit off enough to chew
i love the taste of anything
that i can spit at you

i feel bad to be good
and so misunderstood
about bad and what's good
and what's misunderstood
to be had is too good
to be misunderstood
it's just sad that i don't have a friend

i crashed the family limousine
i drove to feel the drive
the chauffer's dead my mother said
and you're the one alive

i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
what you bought was free

the famine hit the laminate
i paid for has expired
i'm braving it i'm saving it
for later when i'm fired
i wouldn't want what's left of you
to be what's left of me
hypocrisy is stalking me
i'm kissing lips and feet

i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
what you bought was free

the pelican brought baby in
i wish the boy was mine
it must have been the heroin
that kept me in my prime

i feel bad to be good
and so misunderstood
about bad and what's good
and what's misunderstood
to be had is too good
to be misunderstood
it's just sad that i don't have a gun

i left my home and family
they still don't know i'm gone
i'm looking for a family that listens to my songs

i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
what you bought was free...

No Surprises
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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
