Go on and do what you gotta do
'cuz I refuse to make the first move
This waiting is such abuse
Oh, you're loving it?
Well, I am not amused
Don't threaten me with a good time
I think you should leave tonight
Maybe I should take my own advice
But it's hard to when you...

Lick your lips, you shake your hips
Oh my God, those eyes looking into mine
Baby!
We're breathing in rhythm and you're making me sweat
I can barely stand the thought of it
Baby!

What if in the beginning, before we would even start
We'd break the laws of attraction to avoid a broken heart

You say I take your breath away
Make your heart skip a beat
Make your body shake
'til you're weak in the knees and can't hardly speak
You shouldn't have to disguise your truths with alibis
Maybe I should take my own advice
But it's hard to when you...

Lick your lips, you shake your hips
Oh my God, those eyes looking into mine
Baby!
We're breathing in rhythm and you're making me sweat
I can barely stand the thought of it
Baby!

What if in the beginning, before we would even start
We'd break the laws of attraction to avoid a broken heart
(x2)

Slow, you roll
You'll slowly find your way home
To show a different side of you
A point of view, obscure and it's skewed
So go on and do what you gotta do
So go on and make your move

So put on those boots just to take it off baby
And dance until you ain't got no heart
So, so put on those boots just to take it off baby
And dance until you ain't got no heart

What if in the beginning, before we would even start
We'd break the laws of attraction to avoid a broken heart
(x2)

(So put on those boots just to take it off baby
And dance until you ain't got no heart)
(x2)

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
