It's everlong,
the build is strong,
I took a chance,
come on come on

I'll fit the pants,
it's a belief,
that I can exist
content with this relief

Twelve to one,
then comes two,
if we're lucky three,
what we gonna do?

Foot of the hill
we lie still
it's exhausting,
sticky fingers smoking gun.

I really didn't mean to,
Mix your reds with your whites instead of with the blues,
it kind of changed the times that you put your clothes on, ohhhh,
but that only bought me so mu-uch,
I've been guilty of a little bit too much touch,
but you don�t seem to mind the attention

71 #431
that's the address
that you can count on,

it's always time,
and time is free,
and I'm free too
so what's it gonna be?

It's everlong,
he's so so strong,
keeps me warm
Toronto's winters so long.

After one,
sometimes it's dawn,
but don't forget about solitary five

Not like an addiction,
not like Mounties being saved under setting sun,
there's nothing that compares when you take it off, ohhhh

Never want to give this u-up,
even though you always got to be living in both spots,
but someone has to leave and it's a long while gone.

I really didn't mean to
mix your reds with your whites instead of with the blues,
it kind of changed the times that you put your clothes on, oh oh oh,
but that only bought me so mu-uch,
I've been guilty of a little bit too much touch,
but you don't seem to mind the attention


And it's a long way now,
a long way now,
long way now,
the trouble is in trying to keep the life around

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
