listen man, never mind who this is. we've got your wife. yea, your better half, your partner in life. you'll find her volvo abandoned at the mall. her credit cards are in the trunk. we don't want that junk. we want the money, and we want it in cash. cause there are ten sticks of dynamit stuck together with duct tape. they're wrapped around her new perm, strapped around her little face. so don't do anything funny, man, don't do anything smart, or we'll blow up her head. listen man, we've got your son. yea, your one and only heir. the scion of your loins, the chosen one. we picked him up off the playing field. you'll get his short pants by priority mail. we need some cash to finance our political aims. put it in your work-out bag and leave it at the gym. cause there are ten sticks of dynamite stuck together with duct tape. they're wrapped around his little skull just to stop the constant snivelling. and if we don't hear from you by tomorrow, we'll blow up his head. we've got your daughter, that's right. daddys' little girl, the light of your life. and all we want is every penny you've saved. empty out your retirement fund and put it in an old suitcase. how do you know we've got her. we'll send you her little pinkie. you can shove it up your ass and call it stinky. cause there are ten sticks of dynamite wrapped around her golden locks. and only you have the power to make this stop. and if we don't get everything we want, we'll blow up her head. forget it man, we're coming after you. we have no political beliefs. we don't want your fucking money. there's just one thing that motivated us. we hate your fucking guts. there are ten sticks of dynamite waiting for you. they'll cover your eyes, they'll muffle your ears. they'll shut your fucking mouth. they'll blow up your head.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
