He certainly did earn that reputation.
Hey you surround me
like a blanket in my bed.
The look in your eyes has
stayed inside me in my head.
Outside its snowing its odd for
this time of year.
Your light through the darkness,
getting smaller oh i fear.
Yeah...
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
Hey you’re my weakness
still my lover in my mind.
And you still control me
Summer i put you so high.
Hey did you forget you
could never get enough.
Well I'll always love you
no matter how far you run.
Yeah...
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
There is a lover down inside all of our gates that we cant
protect forever cause he’s sucking out the air from our lips.
I felt him tremble when I first picked you up driving honey.
We drove for hours I remember when I first let him kiss.
You and your mouth the taste of love if filled me up to the tips.
I couldn't sleep for weeks fevered at a hundred and six.
You surround me
like a blanket in my bed.
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
