Braulio tiene ojos grandes y cabellos oscuros
Nunca come en exceso y jamás duerme desnudo
Siempre viste de gris, pues no tiene remedio
La tendencia a buscarse siempre el punto intermedio

Dana es niña de bien, eso dicen sus padres
Nunca llega a su casa a más de diez ni muy tarde
Braulio y Dana se quieren como cualquier pareja
Pero un día fueron presa de la naturaleza

Y de sus propios instintos
No escaparon con suerte
Con el fuego por dentro
Y las hormonas presentes
Por la ley del magneto
Se acercaron los cuerpos

Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa, uh-oh-oh
Solo te irás lejos de casa, uh-oh-oh
Por haber traído un habitante más
A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad
Donde lo que no se quiere se mata

Se mata
Se mata
Se mata

Ese día llegaste un poco más de las diez
Pero el susto se dio unas semanas después
Cuando te confirmaron tus terribles sospechas
Un niño nacería y ya sabías la fecha

Y antes de que el vecino y la familia supieran
Fuiste donde el doctor a acabar con el problema
Tu vecino está en casa dándose un buen duchazo
Y tú dos metros bajo tierra viendo crecer gusanos

Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa, uh-oh-oh
Solo te irás lejos de casa, uh-oh-oh
Por haber traído un habitante más
A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad
Donde lo que no se quiere se mata

Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa, uh-oh-oh
Solo te irás lejos de casa, uh-oh-oh
Por haber traído un habitante más
A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad
Donde lo que no se quiere se mata

Se mata
Se mata
Se mata
Se mata

    first it describes Braulio(big eyes, dark hair etc.), then it decribes Dana (a good girl acording to her parents, never comes home late). Next it goes on describing that Braulio and Dana love eachother but one day they were caught by natures ways and they had sex. Later Dana finds out shes pregnant and before the "neighbors"(all the people around her) know about it she went to the doctor to "end the problem"/have an abortion. This goes wrong and Dana dies.

    The song says to Dana "your neighbor is home taking a good shower and you're two meters underground watching magets grow".

    The point this song is trying to make is that this is a rotten city where you kill what you don't want (thats actually the title of the song). in this case the baby wasn't wanted so she killed it and by mistake ended her life aswell.

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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
