The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
watashi wa naifu_michibata ni suterarete ita
anata wa watashi o hirotte_soshite kuchizuke (kisu) shita
uwakuchibiru o kamitsukareta_anata no mae de

watashi ni furetara (furereba) nukizu ja iranai
watashi ni furetara (furereba) subete ga wakaru wa
naifu wa naifu yo kirisaku mono da wa
anata no chi o abiyorokobu mono na no
[samayoeru kono imifukaki kizu o seou

watashi ni furetara nukizu ja iranai
watashi ni furetara subete ga wakaru wa
anata no chi o abi karada ga atsui no
kono mune togarase hagame no karada de kanjite shimau no
itoshii anata o kizutsuketai no yo
kizutsuketai no yo
I am a knife, abandoned by the side of the road
You picked me up and kissed me
As I bit at your upper lip...the bloody red rouge
Spilled down your front...you lapped it up and smiled
If you touch me you need not be flawless
If you touch me you will understand
A knife is a knife. It's meant to cut
It rejoices in being bathed in your blood
"You must rescue it, this wandering thing
this sinful, miserable lamb, weighted down by its abhored deep wounds."
If you touch me you need not be flawless
If you touch me you will understand
My body is hot, bathed in your blood
I can feel it in my chest of pointed steel
I want to hurt you, my beloved
I want to hurt you

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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
