Sit down, have a drink
I’m caught in the middle
Sit down, have a smoke
Answering the riddle
Wine dine long lines
Long troughs of spittle
Some kind is quite so fine
So high above the middle
You say you’re looking for some answers
You find yourself on a quest
I do believe I am a freelancer
In finding means by way of leisure

Let’s go exploding
For more than forty seconds
For hours and hours
Just reaching peaks and no falling down
No forgetting one’s lines
Or Teeth falling out
Or serpents among my feet
Just sweet melting and melting
Oh how I want long to taste your adrenaline

Lay down
Will you be my doctor?
Open up my head
Look around
Why are you so flustered?
Endless mounds of bee vomit
Energize surrealize centralize your freedom
Do you see beyond the blue trees?
Do you see the creatures?
You say there’s no point to playing
Pretend we’re only innocents
What did I hear you saying?
Nothing in this land makes sense

Let’s go exploding
For more than forty seconds
For hours and hours
Just reaching peaks and no falling down
No forgetting one’s lines
Or Teeth falling out
Or serpents among my feet
Just sweet melting and melting
Oh how I want long to taste your adrenaline

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.

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,

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.
