Undercover Angel

Time Again

Six in the morning, what could it be?
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
An overgrown kid who lost his soul
I don't know why, but I feel so old

All those nights with heroin
Some people might say I was born to sin
All the broken laws and stolen cars
Got me felonies and behind bars

Fifty-bags for sleepless nights
Fits of fury, it's alright
Just a boy who loves his mother
Don't judge this book by its fucked-up cover

Undercover angel
Dying to find the truth
Searching for my redemption
Wearing a devil's suit

With dreams I had of dropping dead
And all those fucked-up things I said
All those times I made mistakes
But there's time, it's not too late

Change my life and what I do
Make all of my dreams come true
Blood, sweat, tears and drive
With all these I'll change my life

Prove to you it's not too late
Make amends and change my fate
Just a boy who loves his mother
Don't judge this book by its fucked-up cover

Undercover angel
Dying to find the truth
Searching for my redemption
Wearing a devil's suit

     I LOVE IT!!! This song is clearly about living a fucked-up, drugged-out life of crime. I know EXACTLY what that's like, except for the heroin. I've never fucked with that shit, just ecstacy and all those fun psychadelics. He speaks of "broken laws and stolen cars,' 'dying to find the truth," changing his life and what he does, judging this book (himself) by its fucked-up cover, searching for redemption, and sleepless nights. This is definitely about living a hardcore life and trying to change for the better. 
 The first four verses make me happy: "Six in the morning, what could it be? When you look in the mirror what do you see? An overgrown kid who lost his soul. I don't know why, but I feel so old" I get that feeling everyday, even though I am only 19 years old at the moment.

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.
