Oh

Damn
I just keep thinking about you (oh, baby)
I mean I wanna move on, but I can't move on (oh)
It's like you have some kind of hold on me, and I don't know (oh, oh, oh, oh)
But I'm a go ahead and talk about it
Listen

I'm sitting, looking out the window like damn
Trying a fix this situation that's at hand
You still running through my mind when I'm knowing that you shouldn't be
Me all on yo' mind, and I'm knowing that it couldn't be
'Cause you ain't call, and I ain't even appalled
I still got a lot of pain, I ain't dealt wit' it all
I been running round with other chicks
I'm single, and they loving it
I'm liking it, but I just want the one that I was in love with
That's not the end of it, I'm tryin' a let you know I can't
Get a grip of it is what I'm tryin' a let you know
You got a hold or some kind of control of me
I don't know what it is, but I gotta get you gone from me
I'm working at it, and it ain't getting no better
Just tryin' a be like, yeah, forget it, whatever
Instead of staring out this glass looking at this bad weather
Damn, I gotta pull myself together
'Cause

When I'm with somebody, all I think 'bout is you
When I'm all alone, that's all I wanna do
I miss the smiling faces in my sidekick
Outta town visits
All the time we spent together makes it hard to get you outta my system
You know what you do to me (do to me)
You don't even understand (damn)
You know what you do to me (do to me)
It's so hard to get you outta my system

I'm too attached, my heart won't let me fall back
I got it bad, that's what you can call that (ah)
When I see you in the streets, that's the worst for me
Used to love the little things you did, that's what works for me
It's too major, don't see you on my pager
Know what you doing, where you at, or can I see you later? (Can I see you later?)
The fellas telling me 'just let her go, Bow.'
Believe me, I'm trying, man
I just don't know how
(Just don't know how)
I be in all the top spots, leaving with the hot shots
Knowing they just want me 'cause I'm in the top spot
That's not poppin', and my brain ain't stopping thinking
Who she with, or where she going; is she club hoppin'?
I never had this kind of problem in my life
This is my first time dealing with this kind of fight
It's every night, and every flight, and every time you in my sight
Damn, this ain't even right, cause

When I'm with somebody, all I think 'bout is you
When I'm all alone, that's all I wanna do
I miss the smiling faces in my sidekick
Outta town visits
All the time we spent together makes it hard to get you outta my system
You know what you do to me (do to me)
You don't even understand (damn)
You know what you do to me (do to me)
It's so hard to get you outta my system

Is it wrong for me to feel this way?
You been running through my mind all day
Can you feel me?
I been tryin' a get you off my mind, but I can't after all this time
That's what kills me
Is it wrong for me to feel this way?
You been running through my mind all day
Can you feel me?
I been tryin' a get you off my mind, but I can't after all this time
And it kills me

When I'm with somebody, all I think 'bout is you
When I'm all alone, that's all I wanna do
I miss the smiling faces in my sidekick
Outta town visits
All the time we spent together makes it hard to get you outta my system
You know what you do to me (do to me)
You don't even understand (damn)
You know what you do to me (do to me)
It's so hard to get you outta my system

I remember everything that me and you talked about
Me and you had our whole lives planned out together (oh, oh, oh, oh)
And if I could, I would turn back the hands of time
And correct all my mistakes that I ever did
But now I guess I gotta move on, right?
It's still hard, and I still love you till this day
Peace

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
