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.
You are more
Beautiful
Than anyone
Ever
Every day you're the same
You never change, no never
How could I
Ever deny
The love of my savior
You're part me
You're everything
You're all I need
Forever
How could you be so good?
There is no one like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
Everywhere you were there
Earth or air surrounding
I'm not alone
The heavens sing along
My god, you're so astounding
How could you be so good to me?
Eternally I believe
There is no one like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
There is no one like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
You, you, you, you, you, you
How could you be so good to me?
How could you be so good to me?
I'm not alone
So sing along
I'm not alone
So sing along
Sing along
Sing along
Here we go
There is no one like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
There is no one like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
There is no one like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
There is no one like you
There has never been anyone like you
There is no one like you
There has never been anyone like you
There is no one like our god, yeah
Boy that's terrific, we should sing together more often
Beautiful

Ever
Every day you're the same

You're everything
You're all I need

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love this song sooooo much!!!
Praise GOD!
