"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.
Freak me, baby (ah, yeah)
Freak me, baby (mm, just like that)
Freak me, baby (ah, yeah)
Freak me, baby
Let me lick you up and down 'til you say stop
Let me play with your body, baby, make you real hot
Let me do all the things you want me to do
'Cause tonight, baby, I wanna get freaky with you
Baby, don't you understand
I wanna be your nasty man
I wanna make your body scream
And you will know just what I mean (you know what I mean)
Twenty-four carat gold
To warm the nights when you get cold
I wanna lick you up and down (baby, yeah, baby, yeah)
And then I wanna lay you down, come on silk sing
Let me lick you up and down till you say stop (lick you up and down)
Let me play with your body, baby, make you real hot (let me make you real hot)
Let me do all the things you want me to do (whoa)
'Cause tonight, baby, I wanna get freaky with you
I love the taste of whipped cream (hey)
Spread it on, don't be mean (baby, don't be mean)
You know I can't resist you, girl
I'll fly you all around the world (all around the world, oh, baby)
I wanna see your body drip
Come on let me take a sip (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Take off what you cherish most (come on, come on)
'Cause when I brag, I like to brag and boast (come on, come on, baby)
Let me lick you up and down 'til you say stop (lick you up and down, oh, baby)
Let me play with your body, baby, make you real hot (I wanna play with your body, baby)
(I wanna play with your body, girl)
Let me do all the things you want me to do (ah, yeah)

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
Old school R&B, surprised this wasn't already posted...
I was surprised also. This song brings back memories. :D
WOW! I kinda forgot about this song. Ahhhh yes, brings back memories for me as well. LOL
This song is HOT! It just makes you wanna do it ;)
