I’ve been waiting for you a long time
I love you
Hoo...yeh-yeh

No problems, not here
On this island of love
Island we share, baby
No worries, no cares
On this island of love
All that we need is here

It’s all right
To do as you please, baby, oh
It’s all here
Just take what you need, baby

You’ll see things you’ve never seen before
A summer set upon a sandy shore
Who could ever think to ask for more
Than what we have right now, oh, baby

No problems, not here
On this island of love
Island we share, baby
No worries, no cares, no, baby
On this island of love
All that we need is here

Looking out
As far as you can see
Paradise
For just you and me, baby, oh, Lord, yeh

You don’t even have to close the door
Gentle breezes come and lift your soul
Lose you thoughts inside the love we know
Forever we’ll be fine, oh, baby, yeh

No problems, not here
On this island of love
Island we share, baby
No worries, no cares
On this island of love
All that we need is here

Give me your love, give me your hand
And let us share the love we understand
Sweet talk to me on the ocean breeze
And take a swim right out inna de sea
And we can walk and talk a little while
Sitting on the shade and share a little smile
Make a little love in a private little style
Inna dis here island we want to stay awhile, wow

You don’t even have to close the door
Gentle breezes come and lift your soul
Lose you thoughts inside the love we know
Forever we’ll be fine, oh, yeh-yeh

No problems, not here, oh
On this island of love, oh
Island we share, baby
No worries, no cares
On this island of love
All that we need is here

No problems, not here
On this island of love
Island we share, baby
No worries, no cares, no, baby

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
