Something I forgot to tell you,
I was doing fine until you,
Came along and ruined everything.

I could put this all behind me,
Kiss your ass and treat you kindly,
Sit on my hands without doing anything...

But I wouldn't hold my breath.
(Don't hold your breath)
This is far from over yet,
So I wouldn't hold my breath.

No more I-told-you-so-talk,
I could get down off this soapbox,
I could get up from this three-point stance,

I could try to see your side and,
Bite my tongue, swallow my pride and,
Maybe you deserve a second chance...

But I wouldn't hold my breath.
(Don't hold your breath)
This is far from over yet,
So I wouldn't hold my breath.

(You could cut this tension right in half)
With the same knife you stabbed in my back.
(An apology's not quite enough)
For me to move on and stop holding this grudge.

(Forget or forgive you, forget or forgive you?)
(Forget or forgive you, forget or forgive you?)
(Should I forget or forgive you, forget or forgive you?)

I could take off all this camo,
Fire off all of my ammo,
I could wipe this warpaint from my face...

But I wouldn't hold my breath.
(Don't hold your breath)
No, I wouldn't hold my breath.
(Don't hold your breath)
This is far from over yet,
(Don't hold your breath)
So I wouldn't hold my breath.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Holiday
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.
