This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I dig the black girls, oh so much more than the white girls.
I was so pleased to learn they were faster.
C'est, c'est, c'est vous I'm after.
All comes a faggot white boy
Said look, look, look first kind of joy.
They come around so queer and quiet,
as I rebel and riot.
Shall I dig the white boys?
Oh so much more that the black boys
I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter.
Go on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say it, harder.
You know I love the Lord of hosts,
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
I was so pleased to learn that he's inside me
In my time of trouble he will hide me.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I was so pleased to learn they were faster.
C'est, c'est, c'est vous I'm after.
All comes a faggot white boy
Said look, look, look first kind of joy.
They come around so queer and quiet,
as I rebel and riot.
Shall I dig the white boys?
Oh so much more that the black boys
I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter.
Go on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say it, harder.
You know I love the Lord of hosts,
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
I was so pleased to learn that he's inside me
In my time of trouble he will hide me.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

Yea because everyone knows the KKK "digs black girls"
The juxtaposition of the last verse with the subject matter of the rest of the song is pretty bizarre, but it kind of fits in with their general tendency to veer lyrically from sexual lust to seemingly sincere christian sentiment (look at say, "36 24 36", then look at "Jesus Walking On THe Water").
The last verse is hilarious. This song is about learning to love everybody, or at least have sex with them.
its simply a musical masterpiece.
A very cool song indeed!!!!
destroyalltacos hit the nail right on the head about the femmes.
Their music REEKS of sexual frustration, drugs, and random acts of music.
If this song doesn't make you wanna dance, refer to my comments on Dance Motherfucker Dance.
i get jungle fever like twice a year and when it hits it hits haaaaaaaard boy.
Hmmm ... not sure about some of the lyrics as written.
First verse, I always heard 'kıss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss . . .Oooh, what I'm after.', coming directly after the line about being much faster. Makes sense, if the white girls are shy about kissing and it goes no further. The french here doesn't make a lot of sense. Remember , they decided to take over the world instead of learning French in 'Machine'?
Second verse: Always heard 'Here comes a little faggot white boy/ look, look, look for some kind of joy/ Come around so queer and quiet/inside, rebel and riot'. Think Gano's talking about himself? Other lyrics suggest not all the Femmes are totally heterosexual, but none more than these. And, you do get the idea that, as a high school misfit, the guy who got expelled from the honor society for playing 'gimme the car' was torn between going along with the establishment and telling them to fuck themselves.
I dig the white boys/oh so much more than the black boys, neither of whom are particularly bright when it comes to resisting advances.. Hard to make this verse about anything but gay sex. Give it to me harder.
And, after all the transgression, comes the religion. On face value, protecting the singer from the sins of the song. But - ı was so pleased to learn he's inside me? Perhaps the singer finds something religious/divine in being boned? Anyway, this duality is nothing new for the femmes, especially not on the 'Hallowed Ground' album.
I think we can all agree that heartbeats_xxx probably suffers from mild to severe retardation.
If not mild to severe retardation, than just plain old religious delusion.
