"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.

Poli Paul
Spen Cow, baby
Says he wants you, he says he needs you
It's real talk, then why not make him wait for you
If he really wants you, if he really needs you
Really got to have you
Take your time and feel him out
When it's a good boy
I mean a really, really good boy
Why not let him lay with you?
That's when you give it to him good
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"
You getting bold, it's growin' cold
It's just the symptoms of young love growin' old
You think it's time
And your thinkin' of leavin' but give it time
It's late at night, he's coming home
Meet him at the door with nothin' on
Take him by the hair, let him know what's on
If you understand me, y'all, come on
All my ladies wind it up
If you know just how to move
All my fellas jump behind
And show her what you want to do (show her what you got, daddy)
All my ladies wind it up
If you know just how to move
All my fellas jump behind
And show her what you want to do (ooh)
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"
We can move if you wanna
We can move if you wanna
We can move if you wanna
We can move
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"
Dip it low, pick it up slow
Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back go
Pop, pop, pop that thing
I'ma show you how to make your man say, "oh"

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
This is my mom's recipe for apple pie (I've even successfully made it a few times!) You can make the crust or you can use a premade one. CRUST (recipe makes one double crust): 2 1/2 cups white flour 2 tbsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup cold butter, broken into small pieces 5 tbsp. cold vegetable shortening 8 tbsp. ice water Measure the flour, sugar and salt togetherl. Stir to combine. Add the chilled butter pieces and shortening to the bowl. Cut them in with a pastry cutter or knife. Don't over mix them. Add the ice water. Mix until the dough holds together (add a bit more water, if necessary). Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead it together, then divide in half.
Flatten each half into a disk, wrap in saran wrap and chill for at least half an hour. Roll out one of the disks on a lightly floured surface until you have a circle that's about 12 inches in diameter. Put the circle in a 9" pie plate, trimming any extra dough from the edges with a sharp knife (parents only). Return it to the refrigerator until you are ready to make the pie. Add filling (see below) Roll out the second ball of dough and cover top. Use a fork or your fingers to pinch the edges together. cut a couple slits in the top. FILLING 1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch of salt 8 medium sized apples (a medium apple = about 1 cup) 2 tablespoons margarine Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel, core and slice the apples. Try to keep the size of the slices even. Mix sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl. Stir in apples. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with margarine. Cover with top crust and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top.
OPTIONAL: Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent too much browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust.
TADA!! Youre very own apple pie! dont eat to much or you'll get raped!
