In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
(CHORUS)
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Well swing it on the front porch
Swing it on the lawn
Swing it where we want cause there's ain't nobody home
Swing it to the left
Swing it to the right
Think about baseball swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Swing it in the living room
Swing it in the kitchen
Most folks don't cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swing it in there cause she wants me to feed here
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Oh yeah
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie, yeah
Swing it to the drums
Swing it to guitar
Swing it to the bass in the back of my car
Ain't got money, ain't got no gas
But we'll get where we're going
If we swing real fast
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Swing it all night long
Swing it
Hey, hey
(I'm a trained professional)
Swing it in the bathroom
Swing it on the floor
Swing it so hard, forgot to lock the door
In walk her daddy standing six foot four
Saying you ain't gonna swing with my daughter no more
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Sweet cherry pie
Swing it
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Well swing it on the front porch
Swing it on the lawn
Swing it where we want cause there's ain't nobody home
Swing it to the left
Swing it to the right
Think about baseball swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Swing it in the living room
Swing it in the kitchen
Most folks don't cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swing it in there cause she wants me to feed here
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Oh yeah
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie, yeah
Swing it to the drums
Swing it to guitar
Swing it to the bass in the back of my car
Ain't got money, ain't got no gas
But we'll get where we're going
If we swing real fast
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Swing it all night long
Swing it
Hey, hey
(I'm a trained professional)
Swing it in the bathroom

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

@[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.

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.
I dont know too many people that dont like this song, so hmmmmm great song about sex and eating a girl out lol...fun fun fun
