Anger steaming up your glasses
You've been holding parties all your life
'Cause it's long gone down
You're still hanging around
It's not over till it starts again

Ha ha ha
Hear me laughing
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
It died out long ago

Did you hear me laughing in your head
When I saw you stuck in a rut again
Oh that drink went down smoothly
Just like the one before the last you had

Questions I have answered
You are still asking yourself again
Passed out in the gutter worn out
In your head your voices aren't clearer now after all

Ha ha ha
Hear me laughing
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
It died out long ago

Anger steaming up your glasses
You've been holding parties all your life
'Cause it's long gone down
You're still hanging around
It's not over till you start again

Ha ha ha
Hear me laughing
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
You died out long ago

    Torrini said at her 2008 London gig at St Giles in the Field... that this song is about someone who is alcoholic....

    i think the Ha Ha Ha... is the sound of the laughter that was once genuine... when there were good times... but now... it's a sad drunken laughter... that is desperately trying to block out pain

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
