That was the longest weekend on record
And Friday seems like a year ago
There are broken glasses all over the place
And you've gone home
You know that I love you nearly every day
Looks like I'm going to have to
Start my cellar again
You deserve better
Maybe I am the best for you right now
Tuesday is on the phone again
But I got a couple of days o get well
And then we'll start our engines again
Try and ignore where we fell
You deserve better
Maybe I am the best for you right now
Or you could try leave the anchor
Where you left it
Yeah and I want an intervention
But no-one has got the guts
I suppose we can hide a lot from our friends
Me I just don't come home from lunch

    This song is, in my opinion, one of the best break-up songs out there. He refers to the relationship as a cellar; full of commodities that become better and more precious with age, and says quite simply and sarcastically, "Looks like i'm gonna have to start it again".

    He still loves this person as clearly stated. He would like his friends to help his cause. And then towards the end, he hints at a second chance; "Maybe I am the best for you right now".

    I love this song!

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.
