Ik wil niet de beste zijn
Want de beste heeft het beste gehad
Ik wil niet de eerste zijn
Want de eerste wordt het eerste gepakt

De winnaar kan alleen nog maar verliezen
De verliezer kan nog dromen van geluk
Ik geloof in het verlangen
En als je krijgt wat je wilt
Is het verlangen stuk

Ik heb genoeg
Geef iemand anders maar de macht
Ik ben een underdog
Ik voel me goed
Als niemand iets van mij verwacht
Want dan kan alles nog
Gebeuren

Nee ik wil niet de beste zijn
Want de beste zijn is veel te vermoeiend
Ik hoef niet boven op die berg
Laat mij maar hier in het dal tussen de koeien

Geef mij maar de laatste plaats
Zet mij maar achter in de rij
Dan is er niemand die mij opjaagt
Dan dringt er niemand achter mij

Ik heb genoeg
Geef iemand anders maar de macht
Ik ben een underdog
Ik voel me goed
Als niemand iets van mij verwacht
Want dan kan alles nog
Gebeuren

Dan kan alles nog gebeuren

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
