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.
listen up bitches
i'm your fucking M C,
i've got my mind on your goodies
i can see your WEE WEE
getting hard in your pants boy
i want to see you dance boy

let me feel you deep inside
i can tell that you're excited
and it's something you can't hide
you on top of me
that's how it's gonna be
get my off like a prom dress tonight
off off off off like a prom dress
off off off off like a prom dress
so i met my little hunny bunny on last Easter sunday
by 12 noon he was munchin on my brunch

show me banana splitÂ
just keep lickin' on that shit
let's just hit no commitment
get down on your knees

get my off like a prom dress tonight
off off off off like a prom dress
off off off off like a prom dress

let's just hit no commit
i've been filling up my piggy bank
machete's getting dull I think
one dollar bill for the thrill
down that roller coaster hill
these kids would kill for this life
this life full of speed and the weed
emo kids cut and bleed
but we like to party
getting drunk off their bacardi
so get me off like a prom dress
let me feel you deep inside
i can tell that you're excited
and it's something you can't hide
you on top of me
that's how it's gonna be
get my off like a prom dress tonight
off off off off like a prom dress
off off off off like a prom dress

"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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
