"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.
With starving appetites for arguments
you remind me of a secret
I was never supposed to tell
The time is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everbody wins
The time is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everybody wins
Did you know you were a saint?
What a shameful fall from grace.
But I'll catch you, I'll catch you
Everybody's waiting for that something they can hold onto
While tripping over our own words to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall
Because every failure's just as sweet as the last
The time is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everybody wins
The tims is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everybody wins
Did you know you were a saint?
What a shameful fall from grace.
But I'll catch you, I'll catch you
Everybody's waiting for that something they can hold onto
While tripping over our own words to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall
Because every failure's just as sweet as the last
The sun is set. The summer waiting, waiting
The sun is set. The summer waiting
Did you know we wear the same, the same pretentious name
Let's trade for a while, I'm so curious
Everybody's waiting for that something they can hold onto
I'm tripping over our own words for an excuse to fall
Because every failure's just as sweet as the last
Every failures just as sweet as the last
you remind me of a secret
I was never supposed to tell
The time is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everbody wins
The time is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everybody wins
Did you know you were a saint?
What a shameful fall from grace.
But I'll catch you, I'll catch you
Everybody's waiting for that something they can hold onto
While tripping over our own words to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall
Because every failure's just as sweet as the last
The time is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everybody wins
The tims is up, the verdicts in: Everybody's right, everybody wins
Did you know you were a saint?
What a shameful fall from grace.
But I'll catch you, I'll catch you
Everybody's waiting for that something they can hold onto
While tripping over our own words to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall
Because every failure's just as sweet as the last
The sun is set. The summer waiting, waiting
The sun is set. The summer waiting
Did you know we wear the same, the same pretentious name
Let's trade for a while, I'm so curious
Everybody's waiting for that something they can hold onto
I'm tripping over our own words for an excuse to fall
Because every failure's just as sweet as the last
Every failures just as sweet as the last

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
I think I somewhat agree with NYP but this song means something a little different to me. First off this is my very favorite FSF song, by a long shot.
We live in a society today where Christianity and Christian living is scrutinized to no end. Non Christians and those apathetic to religion are waiting for Christians to do something wrong to prove their point hence "With starving appetites for arguments". As NYP mentioned above no christian or anyone else is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes yet Christians are judged by society through how they carry themselves/act. "Did you know you were a saint? What a shameful fall from grace."
Its your Christian brother/sister's duty as it is your's to not only hold you accountable but to pick you up and dust you off after you've screwed up... "But I'll catch you, I'll catch you"...
Now here's the meat of the song:
"Everybody's waiting for that something they can hold on to While tripping over our own words to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall Because every failure's just as sweet as the last"
Each and all of us no matter what we believe in are seeking something out of life. On this path those in disagreement with Christianity use examples they've seen in Christian friends stumbling to argue the realness and validity of the Christian faith. Non-Christians use these examples (...tripping over OUR own words...) to in a sense justify why they think Christianity is pointless and are thus digging their own graves.
As Christians, we must be careful in the way we carry ourselves because we're influencing people's decisions without even knowing them. Its also a message to non-Christians challenging them not to base their opinions off of imperfect Christians because Christians as imperfect humans will fail you everytime.
If you want to make an argument against Christianity strike it at the heart through Christ's teachings and not take the easy way out by observing imperfect followers.
To Christians its saying don't give non-Christians the chance to do this. Strive to be Christ like.
Everyone's looking for excuse to take the easy way out. They're all going against their better judgement.
