So call the neighbor kids,
The trash can lids,
With buckets on their heads,
Cause I'm telling you,
We're gonna need a little help tonight

So hey man, check this out,
Downtown is a riot,
Somethings spreading through the crowd,
Try channel 9,
I'm pretty sure they're heading
Straight for this part of town,
I can't be certain,
But I swear I hear them just outside,
There's no way that this is real,
So count me in

So grab something sharp,
Find some cover,
Kill the lights,
Nail the back door shut,
This isn't funny anymore,
Oh, no, this means war

Don't take this the wrong way,
But I'd much rather choke and die,
Than sit alone and fall with out a fight

So call the neighbor kids,
The trash can lids,
With buckets on their heads,
Cause I'm telling you,
We're gonna need a little help tonight,
So call the neighbor kids,
The trash can lids,
With buckets on their heads,
Cause I'm telling you,
We're gonna need a little help tonight

And there she was,
Glaring,
With olive eyes,
And chalk white skin,
I want you to know,
That I won't be holding back tonight,
She stole my heart,
I'll be taking hers with a long dart now,
But look at the bright side,
It's not like she had one there to start,

Something tells me,
It's gonna be a long night,

So grab something sharp,
Find some cover,
Kill the lights,
Nail the back door shut,
This isn't funny anymore,
Oh, no, this means war,
And something tells me,
It's gonna be a long night

So call the neighbor kids,
The trash can lids,
With buckets on their heads,
Cause I'm telling you,
We're gonna need a little help tonight,
So call the neighbor kids,
The trash can lids,
With buckets on their heads,
Cause I'm telling you,
We're gonna need a little help tonight

So call the neighbor kids,
The trash can lids,
With buckets on their heads,
Cause I'm telling you,
We're gonna need a little help tonight,
So call the neighbor kids,
The trash can lids,
With buckets on their heads,
Cause I'm telling you,
We're gonna need a little help tonight

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.

Cajun Girl
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”

Page
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.
