No Surprises by Radiohead I love the kind of fairytale music in this song. The sound that resembles an old music box is used in a brilliant way! Lyrics follow:
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent, this is my final fit my final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please
Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here), no alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here) please

A bit melancholic like most radiohead songs...well a bit more maybe it actually talks about suicide?!? or is it my idea??. Well anyway I think that is futile and it is no solution to any problem no matter how difficult life may seem.. My favourite line is:
"A job that slowly kills you bruises that won't heal"
You have expectations and dreams and then one day you realize you are just a part of the machine and you slowly loose your energy.
I also like "You look so tired, unhappy bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us" it suits the politicians of my country and many countries I guess well...I hope we'll make it out of this mess.
