Uh, things could get better,
I guess
What do you think
You too
Uh huh yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah
Uh huh
Check this out
Here's how I did it
Spend my last 5 dollars at burger king
I have no money have no nothing
Which makes it impossible for me
To take care of my dog properly (Domino)
I played in a game of basketball
At the park with some guys named Johnny Zee
At fat older man jumped on my back
And flared up an old high school injury
I'm still tripping off my ex-girlfriend
We broke up three years ago last week
I still write songs about that girl
But she has moved on very nicely
I wrecked my car, I ride my bike
But some asshole came and stole my seat
He didn't give a damn about my life
So now I only travel by my feet

Everything is almost fine
I've just got a few of these frustrations
And they are weighing on my mind
Everything is almost fine
I've just got a few of these frustrations
And they are weighing on my mind

The Mets ain't won since eighty-six
The dolphins lost by fifty-five
I had to go to Mario
My little sister had to drive
I give myself these wack haircuts
So its all uneven in the back
I can't afford a barbershop
So now I only wear a hat
My label president says I'm fat
And I need to lose like forty pounds
And get some style in my wardrobe
And maybe audition for O-town

It's getting close to being almost fine
But when I think I pull ahead I'm really falling way behind
What was the straight line turned into a fork in a road
And I took the wrong route and I though you should know

Everything is almost fine
I've just got a few of these frustrations
And they are weighing on my mind
Everything is almost fine
I've just got a few of these frustrations
And they are weighing on my mind

But at least I don't have lobster hands like those people I saw on Jerry Springer
And at least I can still drink gusto with true liners
Yo
My name is Marty James, alias Scapegoat Willie
Yeah
Here we go
Here we go
Yo
Mario

Everything is almost fine
I've just got a few of these frustrations
And they are weighing on my mind
But its almost fine
Everything is almost fine
I've just got a few of these frustrations
And they are weighing on my mind

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.

Holiday
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
