"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.
I wanna fuck a dog in the ass
He wants to fuck a dog in the ass
I wanna fuck a dog
That's right kids
I tried to fuck your mom in the ass
Tried to fuck your dad in the ass
Could only find the dog and his ass
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
We wanna fuck a dog
I tried to fuck a fuckin' pirate in the ass
Argh me and me first mate you scurvy cur
Tried to fuck a fuckin' pirate, but I found the dog
Ah that was no pirate man, that was thy own sister
It's a Mexican pirate
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
Wanna fuck a fuckin' dog
Fuck you
He wants to fuck a dog in the ass
I wanna fuck a dog
That's right kids
I tried to fuck your mom in the ass
Tried to fuck your dad in the ass
Could only find the dog and his ass
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
We wanna fuck a dog
I tried to fuck a fuckin' pirate in the ass
Argh me and me first mate you scurvy cur
Tried to fuck a fuckin' pirate, but I found the dog
Ah that was no pirate man, that was thy own sister
It's a Mexican pirate
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
We wanna fuck a dog in the ass
Wanna fuck a fuckin' dog
Fuck you

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
After careful research, I've concluded that this song is about fucking your dog...in the ass.
Oh thank god, I have been trying to figure this out for ages! It seems so obvious now, can't believe I didn't get it. Cheers!
I'm having trouble with this song. Although I'm not sure what the singer is trying to say, I think this song is about a man, stranded with nothing but a bible and a notion that God has abandoned him. In this, he realizes that atonement isn't about being forgiven, or even about getting into heaven, but rather, it's about fixing those things you've hurt or destroyed in your past while here on earth. In realizing this, he finds that he hasn't been abandoned at all. Of course, it could also be about a guy wanting to fuck a dog in the ass.
This is one of the most emotionally touching songs of all time. I think I might cry :(
I dunno, I can take this song being a joke but I don't really find it amusing. It's too slapstick for my liking.
And the age old 'Green Day vs. blink' arguments suck. Who really gives a shit? At the end of the day just listen to whatever you like, slagging off other bands is useless, you're not going to change anyone's mind. Who gives a fuck who is more 'punk' because I don't think either band would win nor lose in that debate.
this song actually has a very deep meaning... the dog is society, and...
nahh im just fuckin with ya. toms just into bestiality thats all lol
Also, me and my friends drove around campus blasting this song and got the best looks. I'd recommend it. It's also fun to slowly drive up behind joggers and start blasting the song from Rocky when he's in the training montage.
You know what's strange, like perverse? I played this song out of my iPhone in front of my dog lol. And the second the lyrics came on, he got a boner and sat down, staring at me. I was like "holy shit!"
This song isn't meant to be taken seriously. It's just for S's&G's. If you listen to live performances, they tend to say a lot of funny, immature things. During a performance of What's My Age Again, after the second verse one of them shouted out "It's the slow, pretty part" you may not see the humor in that, but I do. They were making fun of their own song to get some laughs. After that performance, they had a humorous conversation about dog semen. So give 'em a break if you think they are all sick in the head for this song. I know of two other funny songs by them: The Blow Job Song and When You F***ed Grandpa.
I see this song is still as important poetically as it was 13 years ago when I submitted it.
@Castor indeed lol. <br /> <br /> This song is so ridiculously funny that, back then, me and my friends adopted it as kind of our anthem. We would play it and then, solemnly, stand at attention with the right hand over the heart while we sang it. Good times lol.
go to hell they are fuckin awesome
