"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.
I'm so money
So money
Oh baby I'm so money
So money
Money
[Chorus]
(Vallet) I will conform
(Hey) I will play ball
(Happy) I won't save for
I make a sacrifice because I want it all
The weu-weu-wittle dog
Weu-weu-want it all
Weu-weu
I'm so money
So money
Oh baby I'm so money
So money
Money
My lie
Daddy want the new, pursue our new car [Repeat x2]
Daddy wants all the money
[Chorus]
I'm so money
So money
Oh baby I'm so money
So money
Money!
[Chorus]
So money
Oh baby I'm so money
So money
Money
[Chorus]
(Vallet) I will conform
(Hey) I will play ball
(Happy) I won't save for
I make a sacrifice because I want it all
The weu-weu-wittle dog
Weu-weu-want it all
Weu-weu
I'm so money
So money
Oh baby I'm so money
So money
Money
My lie
Daddy want the new, pursue our new car [Repeat x2]
Daddy wants all the money
[Chorus]
I'm so money
So money
Oh baby I'm so money
So money
Money!
[Chorus]

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
well, no offense, but these lyrics are wrong, and they suck. what i get from the REAL lyrics is that jimmy thinks that him and the rest of the band are honestly really good, and could have it all. i think this song is hilarious because it is the exact opposite of what MSI are about. they wanna have fun, play what they wanna play, have a smaller [yet more loving] fanbase. it really makes me think about what MSI might become if they do go mainstream... [but i hope they dont!]
