Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can't feel
At all
Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can't feel
At all
And if you think you need more pain
You can get all that you need
You can get it all for free
Just keep doing what you are

Did somebody tell you that they
Loved you then they said they never
Loved you? How did you feel? How did
You feel?
It doesn't really matter how you felt â??cause
You can't make them love you, that is for sure
That is for real

Pain

Do you really think that it won't kill you â??cause
I know that it will kill you,
Maybe not now, but you'll find out how
Don't tell me that you want to end up just like
Ever other sucker, that would be bad, that would
Be sad

Now baby please don't misunderstand me
â??Cause I don't really give a damn
I saw you had a problem and I wanted to help
â??Cause that's just how I am
It really doesn't matter that much to me

Pain

    "Don't tell me that you want to end up just like every other sucker, that would be bad, that would be sad."

    should be "don't tell me that you want to end up in some alley in a dumpster; that would be tragic, that would be sad."

    great song...kinda fuzzy and cheezy, but real fun to sing along to. not exactly sure what it means, but it has sort of a submissive, apathetic feel to it.

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.
