[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Hey, look who's here
This place is not my home
A change has got to come
Face hot with tears
How was I suppose to know?
The ABC's of love

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Salvation lies within
Don't ask me what I did
When God made her he threw away the formula

[Chorus]
Fell in love on a Sunday
By Monday morning I drifted away
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
Just can't seem to get back there
I'm getting stuck in the weekday traffic
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman

[Verse 2]
Get in, get out
No time for poetry
You can't change people's minds
I'll meet you there
Your walls are painted green
Our vines have intertwined

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Was this your parting gift?
Black eye and bloody lip
Ten years from now I'll still remember every word

[Chorus]
Fell in love on a Sunday
By Monday morning I drifted away
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
Just can't seem to get back there
I'm getting stuck in the weekday traffic
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman

[Bridge]
I still believe your beautiful lies
(I still believe your beautiful lies)
You don't have to die to go to Heaven
I still believe your beautiful lies
(I still believe your beautiful lies)
It almost makes me feel young again

[Chorus]
Fell in love on a Sunday
By Monday morning I drifted away
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
Just can't seem to get back there
I'm getting stuck in the weekday traffic
All I want is to see her
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
All I want is to reach my weekend woman
All I want is to reach my weekend woman

    My Interpretation

    I'm not entirely sure, but from first analysis it seems like it's about a relationship that flourished when the narrator and his love interest were younger though approaching adulthood (hence the last day of the weekend: Sunday, being the day he fell in love. It's still the weekend (youth) but it's almost over (approaching adulthood)), a time when they had less responsibilities and could live in a more relaxed, blissful state--as people do during the weekend, when many people are off from work and make relaxing or recreational plans. So he falls in love with this woman in a 'weekend'-like joyous phase of life. But as they got older, and the relationship evolved, life got more busy and stressful, responsibilities loaded up, and things weren't the same between the pair anymore. Their relationship became akin to a monday morning, your weekend fun and happiness switches to dread, distractions, busy-ness, and handling the hardships of work. Perhaps he didn't put enough effort into maintaining the relationship, and thus drifted away; they became distant from each other. He just wants to get back to how the relationship was in its earlier "weekend"-like days. However, his woman doesn't seem to have the same desire to get back to those days. It seems like she wants to break up. "You can't change people's minds" -- her mind is made up about ending their relationship. "Was this your parting gift?" -- suggests she is the one who wanted to leave, as the person who acts as a guest (someone who comes and then goes), they leave a goodbye gift. Her 'gift' or result of wanting to leave is him getting beat up over the loss of his significant other. The third verse, "I still believe your lies" seems like he could be describing not-so-much lies but promises this woman made of being together forever that turned out not getting fulfilled. He says "You don't have to die" in the hopes of getting back to a happy relationship, so he suggests instead to "Go to heaven"--that is, to be resurrected/revitalize the relationship or her feelings. So overall, this song might describe how the narrator feels in the days before the final goodbye to him and his 'weekend' woman's relationship.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
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.
