"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.
Walking out the door this morning
Wondering what it is that's going on with you, on with you
Thinking of a way to say I'm sorry
For something that I'm not sure I do, sure I do
So come on baby, let me in
And show me what this really is
'Cause something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you stay come back to me?
Hoping for a moment that I turn around
And you'll be coming after me, after me
'Cause all that I can say is that it's obvious
It's obvious you're all I see, all I see
So come on, baby, let me in
And show me what this really is about
'Cause I can't read you
Come on baby, let me in
And show me what this really is
'Cause something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
Come back to me
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
Something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
Something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
Wondering what it is that's going on with you, on with you
Thinking of a way to say I'm sorry
For something that I'm not sure I do, sure I do
So come on baby, let me in
And show me what this really is
'Cause something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you stay come back to me?
Hoping for a moment that I turn around
And you'll be coming after me, after me
'Cause all that I can say is that it's obvious
It's obvious you're all I see, all I see
So come on, baby, let me in
And show me what this really is about
'Cause I can't read you
Come on baby, let me in
And show me what this really is
'Cause something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
Come back to me
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
Something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
Something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
does anyone know what it is that he shows her in the video that makes her so upset? i have tried to figure it out, but cannot.
Yup its a police badge. <br />
He is a cop, he is n love with her. She committed a crime (stole money) and he was sent to 'set her up' he knew he couldnt go thru with putting her in jail..she knew it too. He is beaten by her to make it look like he tried to restrain her and they fooled the police. She leaves with the money after beating him, she was upset that she had to hurt him.. knowing all the while they would be together..
