"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.
La, la, la, la, la, la
You're my everything
The sun that shines above you makes the blue bird sing
The stars that twinkle way up in the sky
Tell me I'm in love
When I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my finger tips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep with in I'm in love
You're my everything
And nothing really matters but the love you bring
You're my everything
To see you in the morning with those big brown eyes
You're my everything
Forever and the day I need you close to me
You're my everything
You never have to worry, never fear
For I am near
You're my everything
I live upon the land and see the sky above
I'll swim within oceans sweet and warm
There's no storm my love
You're my everything
No, nothing really matters but the love you bring
You're my everything
To see you in the morning with those big brown eyes
You're my everything
Forever and the day I need you close to me
You're my everything
You never have to worry, never fear
For I am near
When I hold you tight
There's nothing that can harm you in the lonely night
I'll come to you and keep you safe and warm
Yes, so strong my love
When I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my finger tips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep with in I'm in love
La, la, la, la, la, la
You're my everything
The sun that shines above you makes the blue bird sing
The stars that twinkle way up in the sky
Tell me I'm in love
When I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my finger tips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep with in I'm in love
You're my everything
And nothing really matters but the love you bring
You're my everything
To see you in the morning with those big brown eyes
You're my everything
Forever and the day I need you close to me
You're my everything
You never have to worry, never fear
For I am near
You're my everything
I live upon the land and see the sky above
I'll swim within oceans sweet and warm
There's no storm my love
You're my everything
No, nothing really matters but the love you bring
You're my everything
To see you in the morning with those big brown eyes
You're my everything
Forever and the day I need you close to me
You're my everything
You never have to worry, never fear
For I am near
When I hold you tight
There's nothing that can harm you in the lonely night
I'll come to you and keep you safe and warm
Yes, so strong my love
When I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my finger tips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep with in I'm in love
La, la, la, la, la, la

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
