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.
You better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if ya don't want to dance
You're like four-letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cause you know that you can
You got it, but are you gettin' it?
You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun
You know you can't stop it, so don't rock it, you know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Really gettin' it, come get it from me
(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)
Every bit of it (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, c'mon live a bit (never want it to stop)
Yeah, but are you gettin' it? (armageddon it)
Ooh, really gettin' it? (yes, armageddon it)
Yeah, doo-doo wop
You try comin' on when you need some
But then you don't 'cause you already did
Yeah, you jangle your jewels while your shakin' ya
And drive the pretty boys outta their heads
You got it, but are you gettin' it?
You flash you bedroom eyes like a jumpin' jack
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back
You know you can't stop it, so don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Ooh, really gettin' it, oh, come get it from me
(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)
Every bit of it (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, c'mon live a bit (never want it to stop)
Yeah, but are you gettin' it? (armageddon it)
Ooh, really gettin' it? (yes, armageddon it)
C'mon, Steve, get it
Take it, take it, take it from me
I got an itchy finger following me
Pull it, pull it, c'mon trigger the gun
'Cause the best is yet to come, I say
'Cause the best is yet to come
Are you gettin' it? Really gettin' it?
Are you getting it, really getting it?
Oh, come get it from me
(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)
Every bit of it (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, c'mon live a bit (never want it to stop)
(Gimme all of your lovin')
Oh, are you getting it? (gimme all that you got)
Oh, are you getting it? (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, little bit (gimme all that you got)
Little bit
You got to live it (gimme all of your lovin')
Oh, baby, mean it (gimme all that you got)
Come on and give it (gimme all of your lovin')
Oh, come on and give it (never want it to stop)
Oh, are you getting it? (gimme all of your lovin')
Ooh, are you getting it? (never want it to stop)
Oh, are you getting it (every bit of your lovin')
But no chance if ya don't want to dance
You're like four-letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cause you know that you can
You got it, but are you gettin' it?
You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun
You know you can't stop it, so don't rock it, you know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Really gettin' it, come get it from me
(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)

(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)
Every bit of it (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, c'mon live a bit (never want it to stop)

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.
