3014, we're still around
Even the cure for cancer was found
People come to life every day
Watching their futures drifting away
And there's a nagging thought in the back of my head
Would we love forever if we'd never be dead

(Forever) I'll be yours and you be my girl
(Forever) We will live in this magical world
(Forever) Children of time we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about

At 4060, what might we see
I'm not concerned about you and me
But the crazy people still in their right minds
With nothing better to do with their time
Than driving in their cars with our kids
Higher than we've ever been

(Forever) You be mine and I'll be your man
(Forever) We will live in this magical land
(Forever) Children of time we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about

I see planes in the sun
Will we not remember what we've done

I'm in love with this small planet
Any other way I just wouldn't have it
God sings his final song unto man
Come back to the river where time began
Exploring all our senses as one
Sure will be a whole lot of fun

(Forever) I'll be yours and you be my girl
(Forever) We will live in this magical world
(Forever) Children of time we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about
(Forever) You be mine and I'll be your man
(Forever) We will live in this magical land
(Forever) Children of time we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about
(Forever) Children of time we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about
(Forever) Children of time we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
