The days of old
And all the stories from our shores
Have gone away
and won't return for evermore for
A brand new craze around that's making all the waves
It teaches you how not to act and how not to behave now

Tell me why should I
Turn away my eyes
From where I reside
To only find that all my time is wasted

They're not ever gonna listen
Not until you react
So perhaps there is science in violence
I don't ever wanna listen to all of that's
Outside of my door
So am I at the wrong?

The walk to home at 'lone at night's an everlasting trial
Take the bus but still they constantly remind
Yes it's nice you're into music
Do I want to hear the songs you like? (No!)

Tell me why should I
Turn away my eyes
From where I reside
To only find that all my time is wasted

They're not ever gonna listen
Not until you react, so perhaps there is science in violence
I don't ever wanna listen to all of that's
Outside of my door,
So am I at the wrong?

The world is ours and ours alone

They're not ever gonna listen
Not until you react
So perhaps there is science in violence
I don't ever wanna listen
And it's a fact what the body don't hear
The body will feel for sure

The world is ours and ours alone
The world is ours and ours alone
The world is ours and ours alone

    The water hermit �lone at night and everlasting trial Take the bus but still they constantly remind Yes it�s nice you're into music Though I want to hear the songs you like

    It's..

    The walk to home alone at nights an everlasting trial You take the bus but still they constantly remind Yes its nice you're into music But do I want to hear the songs you like ( NO!)

    This sounds like a song about neds/chavs because where I'm from no matter what bus you're on they are up the back playing shite dance songs loudly on their mobile phones !

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
