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.
I'm feeling frisky tonight. Girl
You can frisk me tonight. I'm
Feeling tipsy alright. Lets get
This party started. Hand me my
Drink and the pipe. Girl what you
Thinking tonight. Lets drink some
Whiskey on ice. We'll get
Belligerent.
Lets get retarded.
We'll throw a party. Drink some
Bacardi. And blaze some chronic.
(X2)
(CHORUS)
Shake, Jump,
Move your hips. I'm feeling so
Drunk, about to lose my grip. Get
Crunk, get loose hoe, shake your
Tits. Drop dat ass to the floor and make it twitch. Like oh my god
Girl, make it twitch. I'm drunk in
A mosh pit with naked chicks. Like
Fuck you bitch you make me sick.
I'll make you lick my magic stick.
You can lick my Lolly pop, my
Lolly pop. my lala Lolly pop. Now
Make it drop, too drunk to stop.
Excuse me if I touch your crotch.
Cause I'm drunk right now and my
Dick is bored. Cause I can't meet
Chicks at the liquor
Store.
Lets get retarded. We'll
Throw a party. Drink some Bacardi.
And blaze some chronic.

(CHORUS)
Lets get retarded. We'll
Throw a party. Drink some Bacardi.
And blaze some chronic.

(CHORUS)
Smoke on the
Hydro. Pass me the 4 0. My ice is
So cold. This club is freezing
Baby.
Oh yeah it's cold inside.
These bitches want some
Brokencyde. Lets go inside, I'll
Go inside. I'll fuck you well your
Boyfriend cries. I'm drunk and
High, about to lose my grip. Cause
These bitches want my cookie
Crisp. So don't blame me, blame
The alcohol. I'm in a bathroom
Stall. Bitch I got blue
Balls.
Lets get retarded. We'll
Throw a party. Drink some Bacardi.
And blaze some chronic.

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
he says "while your boyfriend cries" and this song is funny. its gross. but funny
