"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.
Macy? Sexual chocolate?
Yeah, it's me, B Brown, Bobby Brown
Listen, um (what you want?), I wanted to talk to you about this song
Oh, you can talk to me all day
Lets do this song together that has lyrics
Lets do it now, that just means something like
Love, listen, come on
I know why you hesitate
Burned by all the fake lovers that you had before
They put you down and gave you hate
But don't believe the things they say
'Cause baby, you're a dream, you're a score
'Cause I would walk a million miles for you, just to visit you, baby
And I'll show you a trillion stars, the moon is ours
Darlin', I, I'm everlasting
I'm a sure thing, I'm the master
Giving you real, real, real love
And it's yours for the asking
I put everything after
Giving you real, real, real love
Baby, I will kiss you, even when you have the flu
I'll be good to you when you're bad
Love you, love you baby, lay you down and save you
I'm your super hero, I'm a fan, I'm a fan
And I would walk a million miles for you, just to visit you, baby
And I'll show you a trillion stars, the moon is ours
Darlin', I, I'm everlasting
I'm a sure thing, I'm the master
Giving you real, real, real love
And it's yours for the asking
I put everything after
Giving you real, real, real love
Lonely baby (baby I), I have to be where you are (be where you are)
We are like a shooting star (shooting star)
Jump in my fast car, baby, I'll take you forever
I'm making you mine, baby, for life (all mine), for life
Darlin', I, I'm everlasting
I'm a sure thing, I'm the master
Giving you real, real, real love (real, real, real love)
And it's yours for the asking
I put everything after
Giving you real, real, real love (real love)
Giving you, giving you, giving you
Giving you, giving you, giving you
Giving you, giving you, giving you
I'm giving you, giving you, giving you
Yeah, it's me, B Brown, Bobby Brown
Listen, um (what you want?), I wanted to talk to you about this song
Oh, you can talk to me all day
Lets do this song together that has lyrics
Lets do it now, that just means something like

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
