In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You could have knocked me out with a (feather)
I know you've heard this all before, but were just Hell's (neighbors) (oooh)
Why, why, why won't the world revolve around me?
Build my dreams
Trees grow all over the streets
But I don't know much about classic cars (cars)
But I've got a lot of friends stuck on classic coke (coke)
Down, set, one, hut, hut, hike
Media blitz
Let's hear it for America's suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins
Let's hear it for America's suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins
You can bow and pretend
That you don't, don't know you're a legend oh
Time, time, time, hasn't told
Anyone else, yeah
Let my love loose again
I don't know much about classic cars (cars)
But I got a lot of friends stuck classic coke (coke)
Down, set, one, hut, hut, hike
Media blitz
Let's hear it for America's suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins
Let's hear it for America's suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins
You could have knocked me out with a (feather)
I know you heard this all before
Let's hear it for America's suitehearts
But I must confess
I'm in love with my own sins
Let's hear it for America's suitehearts
But I must confess (I must confess)
I'm in love with my own sins (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Suitehearts) let's hear it, oh, let's hear it
(Suitehearts) let's hear it, oh, let's
Suitehearts (suitehearts)
I know you've heard this all before, but were just Hell's (neighbors) (oooh)
Why, why, why won't the world revolve around me?
Build my dreams
Trees grow all over the streets

But I've got a lot of friends stuck on classic coke (coke)
Down, set, one, hut, hut, hike
Media blitz
Let's hear it for America's suitehearts

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think these are correct
You could have knocked me out with a feather. I know you've heard this all before, but we're just Hell's neighbors. Why, why, why won't the world revolve around me? Build my dreams, trees grow all over the streets.

All the lyrics DinosaurJR ^ posted were correct in my opinion EXCEPT<br /> 'media blitz'<br /> <br /> i am 100% convinced it is 'media PLEASE.. lets hear it for america's suitehearts..."<br /> <br /> it makes more sense than media blitz and what he sings sounds nothing like blitz.<br /> <br />
