"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.

";African"; American heredity
I'm playin' my guitar and I'm feelin' fine
Why are all the ";niggers"; in the unemployment line?
White Trash get down on your knees
Time for cake and sodomy
White Trash get down on your knees
Time for cake and sodomy
Teenage girl, a teenage queen
Until she's on video
A porno queen
She likes to give head
She likes it mean
That's why she's my little queen
White Trash! get down on your knees
Time for cake and sodomy
White Trash get down on your knees
It's time for cake and sodomy
Yeah....
White boy tryin' to get some behind
";Who says date rape isn't kind?";
Where's he gonna go?
Who's he gonna please?
It don't matter
As long as she's on her knees
White Trash get down on your knees
Time for cake and sodomy
White Trash get down on your knees
Time for cake and sodomy

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Just a fucked up acoustic version of cake and sodomy
Actually, the lyrics are different. (Other than the chorus.)

Marilyn Manson said in an interview that this song, White Trash, is used purely to describe my cousin, Ashleigh.

Tony Wiggins (Manson's old Rodie) sings this one. I love it. it's one of my favorite acoustic songs. It realy uses obscenity and emotion together in a way that doesnt match yet is very entertaining
