It's kinda hard to wear high heels, or slip on banana peels, how does she get in and out of tubs
I hope she doesn't get mad, I hope she thinks this song is good not bad
'cause we think that she's totally rad, she's Nubs

No fingers no toes she doesn't own elbows, no phalanges no knobby knees to knock
She doesn't need knuckles or hands to go see punk rock bands, she's always in the stands, she's Nubs
She can't pick up a phone, she can't get dressed alone, she's got no funny bone, she's Nubs
No shoes no feet but we sure do think she's neat, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs

I asked her if she wanted a drink, I asked her if she liked Toronto, I asked her to go to the bar
But all she said was no thanks, no and no

It was time for her to leave, so I grabbed and shook her sleeve, and told her I'd see her at the next club
She got into a pack, some guy put her on his back, she said goodbye and kinda waved her stub

She's got beautiful eyes, and breasts regular size, but without calves and thighs she's Nubs
It's hard to give good head or get tied to a bed, when all you've got is a body and head, she's Nubs

She's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs
She may not walk the walk, she may not like to talk, but bopy does she know how to rock
She's Nubs

    This song is about Tali Osbourne an inspirational speaker who was born without arms and is missing bones in her legs. I met Tali at a summer camp she was very kind and told me that this song was written about her by NOFX. It was amazing to see someone without arms we would think struggle with putting on a coat, texting, or eating chocolate cake do so with ease.

    i love this song so much. "It's hard to give good head or get tied to a bed." it really explores the difficulties in a nubs' sex life. i feel for them more than ever now.

    this definately has a little more meaning than just... theres a hott chik without arms or legs; cool! i think it conveys that ANYONE can go clubbing and stuff, and that its more than peoples disabiltys, its their normality that makes people who they are. This girl goes to punk rock shows, has sex, and is obviously confident enough to reject a guy (heehee rejected!)....

    I'm pretty sure "Nubs" is a good friend of the whole Fat Wreck crew, she's all over their website. Check out the "Bore Journal" on NOFX.org

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"

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
