It's like it always rains when I run my brain,
The chitter chatter's got me shattered,
And I feel like I'm scattered now,
I'm battered,
Knocked down to the concrete,
Because of cruising past that parking lot on seventeenth street,
That's where me and my girl locked in a backseat bliss,
I can't believe that all this bullshit started up with a kiss,
It's like all my dreams they turn into a life,
And now I'm feelin' like I'm sittin' on the edge of a knife!

Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
I want to tell her that I love her but I don't all the time,
Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
It's got me drinkin' and I'm thinkin' as I drive through the light,
Starin' out through the windshield wipers,
Then it hits me like a shot from the sniper!

Judy that baby ain't got my eyes,
I wonder whose eyes they is,
Yeah,
Judy that baby ain't got my smile,
I wonder whose smile that is,
Yeah?

Shit had me fool proof,
But I'm the fool with the proof,
It's just an urban legend if ya think that you'll be happy,
The truth is that la vida loca was all about you creepy sneakin',
Yeah yeah,
You got me drinkin' yo,
You got the luscious Johnson,
You got the magic bone,
Now you don't get no money like the lawyer said on the phone,
I come to ransack your shack,
Your suburb,
Your Cadillac,
Full custody,
I'll take it all back!

Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
I want to tell her that I love her but I don't all the time,
Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
I got the feelin' that I'm livin' at the scene of a crime,
Starin' out through the windshield wipers,
Then it hits me like a shot from the sniper!

Judy that baby ain't got my eyes,
I wonder whose eyes they is,
Yeah,
Judy that baby ain't got my smile,
I wonder whose smile that is,
Yeah?

It's no use,
It's no use?

Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
I want to tell her that I love her but I don't all the time,
Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
I got the feelin' like I'm livin' at the scene of a crime,
Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
I coulda sworn that I was trippin' it was such a surprise,
Woah now woah hey woah say woah,
And now my grip is kinda slippin' while my little one cries,
Starin' out through the windshield wipers,
Then it hits me like a shot from the sniper!

Judy that baby ain't got my eyes,
I wonder whose eyes they is,
(Those eyes see),
Yeah,
Judy that baby ain't got my smile,
(Ain't got my smile),
I wonder whose smile that is,
(I wonder),
Yeah,
Judy that baby ain't got my style,
(That baby),
(That baby),
I wonder whose style that is,
(Woah I wonder),
Yeah,
Judy that baby just ain't my child,
(It ain't my child),
I wonder whose child that is,
I know it ain't mine?

It must be his,
His his his,
It must be his,
Yeah?

    Fuck it's gotta hurt to realize that the girl you are in love with cheated on you and got pregnant... I don't even know where to begin with this type of shit... This is just such an amazing song I've been horribly addicted to it for three days now.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
