"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.
Listen
What's up girls
Feel up come on
Bringin' on baby
My girls, come on
Bounce come on never love again yeah
One more chance
くれないもう chance
This situation frustrate on me
I never understand 若過ぎたのさ
優しさだけじゃ愛せないから
Easy come easy go 本当のことは
そう簡単に話せないよ
Never forget everything you said to me
Never forget everything you've done to me
ためらいの迷路で彷徨う二人
明日からは
想い出まで抱きしめて
二度とおまえ離さない
どんなつらいことからも愛を守る
You're never gonna get my love again
あきらめてた恋なのに
腫れた目蓋に口付ける baby
運命は no fake
You are my everything 安い言葉が
今の二人によく似合ってる
I couldn't help my self
嘘でかためた
毎日はもう崩れ落ちそう
Never forget everything you said to me
Never forget everything you've done to me
とまどいのキスだけ
重ねる二人突然の
さよならだけ言わないで
このままでは終われない
感じたまま濡れた瞳は本当の気持ち
You're never gonna get my love again
あきらめてた恋なのに
今日も朝まで二人 body talk
運命は no fake (your love, ah)
Three, two, one, never again
Oh yeah, baby comin' here
Uh, bounce come on never love again come on
Everything もう一度
すべてを許し合うのさ
I believe 今なら間に合う
さびついた memory
I never understand 若過ぎたのさ
優しさだけじゃ愛せないから
You are my everything
あきらめてた恋なのに
今なら言えるただ I love you
運命は no fake
想い出まで抱きしめて
二度とおまえ離さない
どんなつらいことからも愛を守る
You're never gonna get my love again
あきらめてた恋なのに運命は
さよならだけ言わないで
このままでは終われない
感じたまま濡れた瞳は本当の気持ち
You're never gonna get my love again
あきらめてた恋なのに
運命は no fake

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.

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
