He certainly did earn that reputation.
[Chorus: x2]
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know I take it both ways
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know that I go both ways
Georgie said romantic love is flat
(Georgie said that)
Only for people with no real ambition in
Their lives (no lives)
But ooh, why does Christie disagree
She sees into the core of my poor machine
Ill tell you what she sees
Frightened cornered Gemini tactics and
In attempts to crack the party code
And there's one more thing
[Chorus: x2]
Our bodies became what has been him
So really turned off
Became a freaky permutation
Something like Voltron
Then I was wrapped in discourse with the magazine reader
The mutual conclusion was
I'm not worth knowing because I'm probably dead
So I'm exposed but no solution
[Chorus: x2]
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know I take it both ways
We can do it soft-core if you want
But you should know that I go both ways
Georgie said romantic love is flat
(Georgie said that)
Only for people with no real ambition in
Their lives (no lives)
But ooh, why does Christie disagree
She sees into the core of my poor machine
Ill tell you what she sees
Frightened cornered Gemini tactics and
In attempts to crack the party code
And there's one more thing
[Chorus: x2]
Our bodies became what has been him
So really turned off
Became a freaky permutation
Something like Voltron
Then I was wrapped in discourse with the magazine reader
The mutual conclusion was
I'm not worth knowing because I'm probably dead
So I'm exposed but no solution
[Chorus: x2]

"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.

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”

@[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.
Yep. They played it in 2007 and it was much more powerful.
