Okay we get it, no body’s as scene as you
and everybody’s seen your new tattoo
Well no one is impressed and as for all the rest that lied to you
They’ll probably never tell
Ask me if I’m sorry, well

[Chorus:]
Two thousand miles no will never be enough
And Phoenix can keep you
I hope you’re better off without me because here in Georgia
Everybody’s happy

(Go!)
Whoa those lips are nice
But they’re about as pink as the words that you’ll say though them
Yeah, with your dress to match,
I don’t want you back, ask me if I’m sorry…
It’s you that I’m sorry for

[Chorus:]
With out you around
Without you in this town
I can finally see so clear
Without you here

And after all that we’ve been through
I will forget you, well

Two thousand miles (Oh)
Two thousand miles (Woah)
I hope you’re better off without me because here in Georgia
Everybody’s happy

Without you around
Without you in this town
(I can finally see so clear)
Without you

    I love the acoustic version of this (: So, basically their relationship ended. She was a fake, and he was sick of her acting like she was so much cooler and better than everyone else. She moves off but he doesn't miss her at all and he even feels sorry for her. His life seems so much better now that she's gone, and everyone else in town seems happy also.

    I could be wrong, but it seems pretty straight forward to me.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
