Hallowe'en

Ash

I moved in that very day
The room was small but I liked it anyway
He watched TV while I dreamed through my mind
And the pregnant girl was busy all the time

September and October passed me by
I decided to go home for a while
I got a lift with an old friend of mine
I wanted her still she reminded me on the way

So when I got home I went to see Mum and Dad
They asked was I OK
Was I happy
I looked and I smiled and I said that I was

A few days later I decided to leave
I couldn't find anyone who could take me
The only thing I could do was take a bus
So at half six I left to get the late express

I boarded the bus with my clean washing on my back
I sat beside a girl all dressed in black
We talked and smiled most of the way
Till her jealous boyfriend angrily led her away

Then when I reached the house
There was a party on inside
My friend came to the door took my bags from my hand
And welcomed me in from the night
As I was walking through the happy house that Hallowe'en night
My friends were all there my heart was glad
And my life felt actually alright
My friends were all there my heart was glad
And my life felt actually alright

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.
