Ladies and gentlemen
Step right up
Let's all go see the elephant

Well I'm a road runner honey, yeah!

Well I'm a road runner honey
And you can't keep up with me
Well I'm a road runner lover
And you can't keep up with me
You got a green light baby
Maybe baby you will see

Well move over honey
Baby let me by
Yeah move over honey
C'mon let me by!
I'm gonna show you baby
Chance is more than your eye
Well eat my dust

Let's have a road runner wedding
And we gotta get it right
Let's have a road runner wedding
Yeah but it can't be white
Wedding bells tomorrow morning
Burn some rubber tonight

Joe's solo

Well I'm a road runner honey (beep beep)
Well I'm a road runner honey (beep beep)
Yeah I'm a road runner honey (beep beep)
Well I'm a road runner honey (beep beep)
Well I'm a road runner
Well I'm a road runner
Well I'm a road runner, a road runner,
A road runner, honey

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
