I'm sitting here along the west side
I think of all the ways that I could fuck with you right now
But when I wrap my head around you
You couldn't be more trouble I don't need to lift a finger

Jump in a hole
I dig it for you
You're in a hole
I dig it for you

You live inside the space between life
Your crazy world is so small when you think about it
You can take your shit out on me
Look in the mirror then you see what I see

Jump in the hole
I dig it for you
Jump in the hole

I'll tell you my philosophy
Is new reality
I have gone to hell and back
We suffered through enough

Don't tell me your religion
The price to pay is freedom
I have gone to hell and back
Your ship was always sinking

You like to have your way to know it
What does love got to do when you think about it
Say it's time to stop pretending
Things they come and they go that's the way it is

You like you living
It's just beginning
I'm not the one to blame
I'm not the one

Jump in your hole
I dig it you for you
Jump in the hole
I dig it for you

I'll tell you my philosophy
Is new reality
I have gone to hell and back
We suffered through enough

Don't tell me your religion
The price to pay is freedom
I have gone to hell and back
Your ship was always sinking

You scream it out from the mountaintops
You throw us all under for what
Your action, they speak louder than words
Was it enough to drag us all down into your world

Jump in your hole
I dig it for you
Jump in the hole
I dig it for you

I'll tell you my philosophy
Is new reality
I have gone to hell and back
We suffered through enough

Don't tell me your religion
The price to pay is freedom
I have gone to hell and back
Your ship was always sinking

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.

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,

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.
