i like the way you hung the moon, uh huh.
well i just like being close to you, uh huh.
when you're gone i feel so blue, uh huh.
yeah, i like the way you hung the moon uh huh.

i like the way you know that dance, uh huh.
i like the way you hold my hand, uh huh.
just spin me all across the floor, uh huh.
yeah, i like the way you know that dance, uh huh.

well i like the way you sing your songs, uh huh.
you've been singing to me all along, uh huh.
the way you loved me won my heart, uh huh.
yeah, i like the way you sing your songs, uh huh.

i put on that white dress for you, uh huh.
i don't preach or marry but yes i do, uh huh. (?)
i'll stay and i'll grow gray with you, uh huh.
yeah, i put on that white dress for you, uh huh.

    My Interpretation

    instead of, "i don't preach or marry but yes i do, uh huh," it should be: "tell the preacher man, 'well, yes, i do, uh huh."

    Conejita711 is right. It should be " tell the preacher man, 'well, yes I do, uh huh."

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

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”
