Sucking on blackcurrant juice out carton
You flick on your loosest tooth with your tongue
Up on the edge of the high rise roof
Oh let me touch you
You've got jet pilot eyes that barely see me
Fizzing E105 across my body
I'm on the edge of a high rise roof
I made you laugh
I knew I could

Beautiful thing
Is it only seratonin?
Feel my blood thin
Beautiful thing

Another dusk is falling on this hollow town
An aeroplane is calling from inside a cloud
You're talking to me on a high rise roof
Oh god that means you may...

Oh god I feel your arm up on mine
As you go to dangle them over the side
I'm on the edge of a high rise roof
I made you laugh
I thought that maybe I could

Beautiful thing
Is it only seratonin?
Feel my blood thin
Beautiful thing
Beautiful thing
Is it only seratonin?
Feel my blood thin
Beautiful thing

How can I get you to let me kiss you?
Look at all the specks the orange flecks there beneath you
Sucking on blackcurrant juice out carton
You flick on your loosest tooth with your tongue
I'm on the edge of a high rise roof
I made you laugh
Yeah I thought that maybe I could

Beautiful thing?

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
