I'm a poor man deep in my pocket
But in my heart I'm a millionaire
But a perfect sense of direction
Ain't no use if you're going nowhere

You're like a whacky man's walk on
And you think I have eccentric ideas
Better latent than never
Just that thought keeps me warm through your fears

When you kiss do you keep your eyes open
I'd love to linger on the taste of your tongue
Would our souls be in immanent danger
I can't see how what we could do could be wrong

A sandwich short of a picnic
Trying hard to save the wages of sin
It helps if you think quick
When the razor feels soft to your skin

I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you

Looking for love let me make you an offer
That's as tender as a tender can be
Give me a ring or just drop me a postcard
And turn my fantasy to reality

A nasty stain on the carpet
Perfectly matches all the ones in my bed
Instead of grinding your gusset
Why not give me the pleasure instead

I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you

[SOLO]

You're like a whacky man's walk on
And you think I have eccentric ideas
Better latent than never
Just that thought keeps me warm through your fears

I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you

There's one more thing I just gotta say
The very thought of which drives me insane
You keep saying that we're over again and again and again
I guess I'd better be resigned that you've up your mind
And if you never wanna see me again

I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you
I wanna be all over all over you

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
