she takes off her makeup and looks like everyone else,
hiding from a universe that's ugly like herself.
ohhh, ohhh, ohhh.
she paints on her cute synthetic personality,
wasting all the hours on the things she'll never be.
ohhh, ohhh, ohhh.
ohhh, ohhh.
one, lie, living in the mirror -
cause this time she loves herself too much.
wha wha whoa..she's just a pretty waste
wha wha whoa, she's just the perfect one for me.
she thinks long and hard about her phony honesty,
layer after layer covers her insecurities.
ohhh, ohhh, ohhh.
ohhh, ohhh.
one, lie, living in the mirror -
cause this time she loves herself too much.
wha wha whoa..she's just a pretty waste
wha wha whoa, you're just the perfect one for me.
one, lie, living in the mirror -
cause this time she loves herself too much.
wha wha whoa, you're just a pretty waste
wha wha whoa, you're just a pretty waste
one, lie, to be a bore.
this, time, she's such a bore.
one, lie, to be a bore.
this, time, she's such a bore.

    Obviously a song about how society pressures people (particularly girls) to look and possibly act the same. But when i hear this song i think of the superficcialiality of it, there's no dobut there is a LOT of girls just like this one. One line i wonder if anyone has thought about is "she's just the perfect one for me. ". Something about guy's 'exploiting' the insecurites of people like this? "she's such a bore." - whats more boring than trying to be like everyone else.

    Its almost sad how easy it is to understand this , but its a great song!!

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,

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
