This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Oh, is this the way they say the future's meant to feel?
Or just twenty thousand people standing in a field?
And I don't quite understand just what this feeling is
But that's okay 'cause we're all sorted out for E's and wizz
And tell me when the spaceship lands 'cause all this has just got to mean something-ing
Oh, in the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down, oh
Oh yeah, the pirate radio told us what was going down
Got the tickets from some fucked up bloke in Camden Town
Oh, and no-one seems to know exactly where it is
But that's okay 'cause we're all sorted out for E's and wizz
At four o'clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away
All right
In the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down, oh
Just keep on moving
Everybody asks your name, they say we're all the same and now it's
"Nice one," "geezer"
But that's as far as the conversation went
I lost my friends, I dance alone
It's six o'clock, I want to go home
But it's "no way," "not today"
Makes you wonder what it meant
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows
And you want to call your mother
And say "mother, I can never come home again
'Cause I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere
Somewhere in a field in Hampshire, all right"
In the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down
Oh, oh, then you come down
Oh, what if you never come down?
Or just twenty thousand people standing in a field?
And I don't quite understand just what this feeling is
But that's okay 'cause we're all sorted out for E's and wizz
And tell me when the spaceship lands 'cause all this has just got to mean something-ing
Oh, in the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down, oh
Oh yeah, the pirate radio told us what was going down
Got the tickets from some fucked up bloke in Camden Town
Oh, and no-one seems to know exactly where it is
But that's okay 'cause we're all sorted out for E's and wizz
At four o'clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away
All right
In the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down, oh
Just keep on moving
Everybody asks your name, they say we're all the same and now it's
"Nice one," "geezer"
But that's as far as the conversation went
I lost my friends, I dance alone
It's six o'clock, I want to go home
But it's "no way," "not today"
Makes you wonder what it meant
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows
And you want to call your mother
And say "mother, I can never come home again
'Cause I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere
Somewhere in a field in Hampshire, all right"
In the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down
Oh, oh, then you come down
Oh, what if you never come down?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/

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.
like virtually everything Pulp has recorded thus far, this choon is taking the piss, this time taking the piss out of the rave scene in England. illegal raves were commonly held in fields or deep in the woods. the particulars were usually found out by word of mouth. seems Jarvis Cocker (Pulp's lead vox and lyricist) was doubtful about the 'Peace, Love, Unity, Respect' credo the ravers would tout, since the last verse decribes subtle hostility and alienation. "E" is ecstasy, "Wizz" is speed: the common raver's cocktail. it will get you high as a kite, but, as Mr. Cocker asks "what if you never come down?" Ecstasy was just becoming mainstream in England and syphoning into the States. sheer ignorance for the substance caused a rash of overdoses at raves in the early 90's. i think this song was Pulp's attempt to de-glamourize the British rave scene and expose it as some wild excuse to OD on speed and Adam. maybe so, but i love this song and i can still rave out.
this is an excellent reflection on everything thats wrong with the E culture. the repeated line ' that's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and wizz' is emphasising the fact that the drug totally demotivates you from doing anything, or caring about anything. everythings alright, as long as youve got more pills left. the last verse portrays just how awful the comedown is. at its peak, you just feel so guilty and false, hence the "Mother, I can never come home again" line. overall i dont think its an anti-E song though, its a satirical overview of the whole thing. coz you can be a drug user and still see the many hypocrisies and problems of it. and i think really thats what jarvis is doing here
That is a really fab explanation... Especially since some people believe the song to be promoting the use of drugs.
He went to see the Stone Roses at Spike Island. There was this feller walking around shouting "Everyone Sorted for Es and whizz?"
But I think rog up there is bang on really.
Pulp are so cool.
This song is zabout drugs.
I love the trancey electronic intro to this song.
It's a lyrically straightforward, great track.
Jarvis nails the vacuous truth of the e'd-up 'love' of the rave scene, that was hyped as a revolution. The start of the last verse Everybody asks your name They say we're all the same and it's "nice one, geezer" But that's as far as the conversation went is bang on observation that anyone who's ever been clubbing will recognise. The observation alone would be enough to pinpoint the superficial nature of it all, but Jarvis bangs it closed with the refusals from the same people as he tries to hitch a lift home the next morning. A revolution that in the end turned out not to mean anything.
I agree with suitboy.
I still see the same sad bastards out clubbing on the same drugs as they were years ago. I try not to make eye contact but they always come up to me and say something very similar to "Nice one, geezer".
A highly accurate track about the E culture.
Yeah, the lyrics are pretty much self-explanatory, and after hundreds of listens I still marvel at the excellence of Jarvis' lyrics. It's a monsterfully accurate description... The best moment may come with that "in the middle of the night...." part, it's just sublime...
Agreed, the chorus in this song is such a delight.
