Shock, got the shock of my life
Just buckle up girls, I'm stealin' the night
From the still of the night
What they're down to
Let's see, in cold daylight

I gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

Cause she's all
And I am low
Watching you watching her play this game
Yes, she's bold
Bold enough
To set fire to your plain
Her fire to your plain

Pray
You can pray to your Jane
I put out the call
But not to be saved
Called my deviling kin
With her yellow Aston Martin

We gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

Cause she's all
And I am low
Watching him watching her play this game
Yes, she's bold
Bold enough
To set fire to his plain

She said, "get in"
And set the SatNav to hell
Or would it be a purgatory?

I gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

Cause she's all
And I am low
Watching you watching her play this game
Yes, she's bold
Bold enough
To set fire to your plain
Her fire to your plain

Her fire...
Bold enough...
Her fire to your plain

    I like the song (note; like, not love), but I'm not a big fan of the video (amazon.com/Abnormally-Attracted-Sin-Tori-Amos/dp/B001Y44EY4/), it looks fake and plastic, and the wigs (which I thought were awesome before, and in the other featurettes so far) weren't great here. I have no idea what the song's about, either.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
