then through the times
through endings with beginnings
brown hair and black eye

we just can't leave
cut the sleeves off your shirt
it's warming up outside

and i am the one
who's singing out of key now
ahhhhhh

so try as you could
daylight in the daytime
burnt hands feel so good

i said in this light, blazing dynamite
tan skin looks like gold, tan skin looks like gold
i said in this light, blazing dynamite
tan skin looks like gold, now i'm sure i know

then through the times
and then through a railroad
apartment eight feet wide

now we can't leave
one sleeve, brown hair, and black eyes
blue flames, and gold teeth

and i am that kid
who's laughing back at himself
oh ahhhhhhh

so try as you will
daylight in the daytime
i'm here for the thrill

i said in this light, blazing dynamite
tan skin looks like gold, tan skin looks like gold
i said in this light, blazing dynamite
tan skin looks like gold, now i'm sure i know

while sparks and fire burned
we loudly sang it stern
ahhhhhhh
oh ahhhhhh

and like a movie set
the glow was warm and bright i bet
ten more frames, and this thing ends

i said in this light, blazing dynamite
tan skin looks like gold, tan skin looks like gold
i said in this light, blazing dynamite
tan skin looks like gold, now i'm sure i know

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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
