Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
He was a little bit emo
He loved his sweaters and his Thursday too
While she was talking about Ian
He was dreaming of Brand New
She was a little bit hardcore
Wore a Bane shirt and had an edge tattoo
While he sang Taking Back Sunday
She was moshing with her crew
She showed him times gone by
He showed her how to cry
They both thought Chris Carrabba
Was the world's cutest guy
He sang her songs all day
She loved him anyway
They lived in different worlds
But hey that's okay
He didn't get the connection
Seen a few shows that was all he knew
And so she played him the classics
And now he loves hardcore too
That day they finally realized
Both their scenes are one big family
And if it wasn't for hardcore
Then emo would never be
Sometimes she'd play him music
While they'd lie together in the dark
He finally heard old Fugazi
He said this sounds like Bear vs. Shark
We're not the first, I know we're not the last
The kids will always take the rock away c'mon let's start today

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Fast Car

"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 is awesome, it makes me laugh.
