Goodbye

Hedley

Goodbye to your ideas about
The way things should have been
It was a nice try, that doesn't mean
That's gonna make me let you in

PRE-CHORUS
You're not crazy, this is not amazing
You are not a problem worthwhile saving

CHORUS
It could be worse, I could be you
I could be out of luck and that would never do
I'm liking my clothes, I'm safe in my shoes
I'm glad you're gone and I don't got a lot to lose
Everybody knows I'm not crazy, you are not amazing
This is not a problem, I'm just saying goodbye

Oh oh oh oh oh, woah-oh

So long to spending hours
Staying up until you call
You've never been wrong
That doesn't mean that you're never gonna fall

PRE-CHORUS
No I'm not crazy, this is not amazing
You are not a problem worthwhile saving

CHORUS
It could be worse, I could be you
I could be out of luck and that would never do
I'm liking my clothes, I'm safe in my shoes
I'm glad you're gone and I don't got a lot to lose
Everybody knows I'm not crazy, you are not amazing
This is not a problem, I'm just saying

And I don't really wanna know you played me
It doesn't make me any better if I'm caring at all
And I don't really wanna know you played me
You're not crazy, you are not amazing,
This is not a problem, I'm just saying goodbye

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, woah-oh

CHORUS
It could be worse, I could be you
I could be out of luck and that would never do
I'm liking my clothes, I'm safe in my shoes
I'm glad you're gone and I don't got a lot to lose
Everybody knows I'm not crazy, you are not amazing
This is not a problem, I'm just saying goodbye

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, woah-oh
Goodbye

    wow im really the first to post on this one? sweet!

    fucking good song, personally i think they should've made this the last song on the album rather then "Friends". This song just has that "last-song-on-the-cd" feel to it.

    I think this song is about Jakes divorce from his wife, basically saying "bye, fuck you, Im better off without you anyways"

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
