"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.
There's a dog loose in the wood.
Dogfish Rising.
It's good for gnawing.
Right wing Interlude.
In the 1990's ?
Thats got a nice groove to it there.
I saw an old man.
Windmills like two.
Something in my left.
Screaming sphincter muscles.
Postniff scruchies?
Dogfish Rising..
Burn em' for their nipples.
another rubber Rolex.
So skinny hard nose.
Who wrote these...lyrics?
Battery powered yard tool.
Black and Decker dildos
Fully powered pocket head
Pop rivet pool palls
God smokes to me!!
Dogfish rising.
Blistered cabbage.
Poor fish toenail
Dirt face cripples
Hmm...
Lactate freely
Back foot bungdom
(unknown)
Red knot protection!
Back up, fuck your head!
Dogfish risin'...
Cryptic kleptic art
Pinpoint penis pod
Quarter inch of...fat
What are you laughing at?
Ggggggg
Grip grope squeegie
Grip cookie crisp cook finger
Ugg rod stickwid
Corned beef cookers
F-F-F-Fuck it, that dogfish is dead.
I'm the hell out of here guys
See you later, have a good life
Don't even bother cleaning, fuck this
It pours the lotion on its skin.
Purs the lotion on thy skin!
(Limp dick slickrod)
Pour the god damn lotion!
Smithers!
(Couldn't you guys have afforded to record this in a real studio?)
Yes Mr Burns?
(Extra supreme gets me going special!)
Bring me this band!
.. gets me college special
(the biscuits are at bimbles tonight...)
Freebird!
Lynrd Skynrd!
Lefty fuzzy nuts-bye.

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Yeah, Gryphon, it was just recorded by passing the mic around in the studio.
