I'm not used to saying things like that
'Cause all my best intentions fall so flat
But when it comes down to it
My love for you knows no limit, darling
I'll say, I'll do

Any foolish thing to call on your affection
Any foolish thing to show how much I care
Any foolish thing that we say might come about
Don't take it lightly, girl, 'cause it could just work out
That this love won't be any foolish thing

I know you don't believe in every line you hear
Forgive me if I'm sounding too sincere
But I can't take chances, you might slip away
While I wait for the right time
And place to say

Any foolish thing to call on your affection
Any foolish thing to show how much I care
Any foolish thing that we say might just come true
Don't take it lightly, girl, I'd bet it all on you
And that this love won't be any foolish thing

Could turn you away, can lead you astray
Or shadow this love I feel
Anything I say might make you see
That deep in my heart
Your love is safe with me

Any foolish thing that we say might come about
Don't take it lightly, girl 'cause it could just work out
That this love won't be any foolish thing

Any foolish thing
Any foolish thing

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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,
