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.
This weed game man its the game for me. It makes a lotta paper. Sure do. And I'm tryin to be a rich man. Real top. Gonna get you a little bit of loot? I like helping. You wanna be a rich man? Yesss
You smoke it every day and you smoke it every night.
You smoke it in a joint, blunt, bong or in a pipe.
Puff puff and pass all you gotta do is ask.
Marijuana 101 the only class that I can pass.
I'm about to grow the most beautifullest thing you ever seen.
I got indoor, outdoor, I got pinkish-purpe weed. They can't stop me.
I buy supplies and stay away from coppers. A ganja farmer
lookin in the sky, I'm seein helicopters!
Jealous talkers tellin get no love where I'm from.
You shut your mouth, don't tell nobody
unless you want the feds to come. So I shut up, stay low, grow,
and stick to what I know. Set the timers,
hang the lights and watch this marijuana grow!
PH the tubs, I makin sure the fans is spinnin right.
Put grow rocks in the buckets then I move the plants right in the light.
Look for mites, check for seeds, hope they don't hermaphrodite.
Appreciation for the weed, been growin more than half my life.
Harvest time, money signed time to let em dry.
Flush em clean, trim and bag the weed I love my two fifteen.
Pounds for three, I got hundreds and that means hella g's.
Fuck sellin cd's, I gotta ??? to cd's!
This one time. Hey I got the purple. Is it really purple this time? Yup it is. Well then lets get rich!
I been holdin on to pounds, takin calls from outta town.
Sellin gringa? like a bell cuz the word done got around.
Bud is purple, frosty, smell like ass hole crack.
What about my sack? The size of baseball bats.
You feel it in your chest, it's better than the best.
My shit it sells itself, I make more cheddar than the rest.
Won't ever do ya dirty, 80 grand will get ya 30.
My niggas down south say "the bud is so purty!"
Never will I stop, humboldt county got it locked.
Started snoopin more at night, stop servin off the block.
I'm workin everyday, no boss, no day off.
This job don't got no benefits to help with smokers cough.
I'm grindin like a skater, I'm servin like a waiter.
I'm hustlin like lil damian when chasin down this paper.
Gotta have it my way. Catch me on the highway.
?? the situation if you smokey on a friday.
You smoke it every day and you smoke it every night.
You smoke it in a joint, blunt, bong or in a pipe.
Puff puff and pass all you gotta do is ask.
Marijuana 101 the only class that I can pass.
Green thumb grower, big pound holder, block street soldier.
Everybody wanna little bit of weed and I'm a
green thumb grower, big pound holder, block street soldier,
everybody wanna little bit of bud!
What's up wit it man what the business is? You tryin to be a rich man? Oh yeah man I'm caked up you know I'm waitin for a flock chickens right now. You know I'm tryin to make that next move. I'm in the streets you know I go get it
Just received a package from the homeload, woah.
89 big boys gonna break em down to little bros.
Before I hit the door, I rolled five.
I'm a Humboldt boy, it's in my nature to stay high.
Whats the price, 350 in the streets.
But since I got the right plug I let it go a little cheap.
325, yeah thats it. Even cheaper by the folds,
I call em 'get rich starter kits.'
So holla at yo boy I'm hollerin holla at yo boy.
45 in the waistline backpack full of joy.
From Sac to Oakland, Richmond and back.
Fairfield a little stoppin back to Sac.
I don't discriminate, man I'm in all hoods.
Four XT across the front say its all good.
And it's all good two for fifteens or four for thirties.
I'm slingin purple and good greens.
And good schemes keep me on top of sales.
Not sufferin from the months
but I'm sufferin from pocket swells.
One eye, yeah that one guy
is now what they hollerin when I'm ridin by
You smoke it every day and you smoke it every night.
You smoke it in a joint, blunt, bong or in a pipe.
Puff puff and pass all you gotta do is ask.

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
