Audrey Macy isn’t lazy, she just never tries
Just like any trust fund baby, hard to pacify
You could give the world to her,
she’d ask you for the sky
It’s never quite enough
She keeps her bedroom messy,
but it’s not without its charm
Her clock is underneath the rug
to muffle the alarm
She wakes up when she pleases,
but she still finds time to yawn
It’s never quite enough
And the name sounds familiar
And the face you know all too well
Don’t believe all that you read
I’ve seen the way she rolls
It’s absolutely, positively, hell (la-la-la-la…)
She spent the ’90s in the roll
of tabloid millionaire
But truth be told, she’s gotten old,
now no one seems to care
She’d take the place uptown,
but daddy’s second ex lives there
and they don’t get along

Now she is an artist, has a home in Astor Place
She paints her view of 7A and practices the bass
She memorizes poetry to help her compensate
She isn’t smart enough
Now the name’s unfamiliar
And the face does not ring a bell
Don’t believe all that you read
She had so much yesterday…
But I guess that’s how it goes
it goes away (la-la-la-la)
Audrey’s daddy dies one day
(so young for heaven’s sake)
She planted twenty little pills
inside his birthday cake
She paid off Cal the coroner
on the first night of the wake
Soon she’ll have enough
Mr Macy wasn’t crazy,
she was out to kill
A clever man, he spent it all,
left nothing in the will
Now daddy’s little girl will
have to work to pay the bills
She’ll never have enough, never quite enough
It’s never quite enough

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
