Hey sweetie,
Here I come with another hey whats happening
Listen to me, listen to me.
You tell me you doubt I'm ordinary.
Give me sunshine, make me happy,
Give me sunshine.

I'm holding in my fingers.
The last string I'll set you free.
There will be no more questions of stength,
I cut my friend playing indian.

Hey sweetie,
Here I come with another hey whats happening
Listen to me, listen to me.
You tell me you doubt I'm ordinary.
Give me sunshine, make me happy,
Give me sunshine.

I'm holding in my fingers.
The last string I'll set you free.
I cut my boy playing indian.
I was trying to get to you,
Well now that's a fucking, fucking, fucking friend.

You say you feel affection.
So come now and save us.
You say you feel affection.
So come now and save us.

Hey sweetie,
Here I come with another hey whats happening
Listen to me, listen to me.
You tell me you doubt I'm ordinary.
Give me sunshine, make me happy,
Give me sunshine.

    None of the lyrics on the new CD seem to make much sense. :/

    I miss Opposite of December-era Poison the Well.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
