You know it's never gonna last a lifetime
So I say you're better off if you end it now
Then you take a look around the properties
There's a lot to see, let it surround you now
'cause if you are sure you are ridiculous
One can never be not even the best of us

I know, 'cause I've been there

You disappoint yourself if you stay like that
You'll grow bitter, I can see it happening
And then you'll wish you'd done as I said
But it's too late, you're already stuck
and you walk around looking for reasons to make it worthwhile
but you never find them

I know, 'cause I've been there

But if you'd seen her
The first time that we met
She walked up to me, she walked up to me
I never would have guessed, I would come to depend on her
I would come to depend on her

As she approached me, talked to me, spoke my name
she spoke my name, she spoke my name
I never would have guessed, I would come to depend on her
I would come to depend on her

But as it happens
If I picture me growing old without her
without her
That I couldn't bear, I see her by my side
I see her by my side

I need to focus on the things that I do best
and work on that, and work on that
Now I'm working this affair
I won't finish 'til I'm done, I won't finish 'til I'm done

Up until now, I've been only wasting time
Wasting time, I'm wasting time
That's not what I need, the only time I need
Is the time I've spent on this here

And if you say
that I'm held in a trap
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
that is where I wanna be

And if you say
so entrapments your trip
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
if that's how you see it so be it

And if you say
that I'm held in a trap
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
that is where I wanna be

So if you say
that entrapments your trip
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
if that's how you see it, so be it.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
