"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.
[Chorus]
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
All my girls in the house get low
If you look good go on touch your toes
fuckin'' with your boy here.
Oh fo-sho-oh-oh
What my name is y'all know
Raving 'til dawn the dogs they get busy
Put the song on they (they) all get dizzy
Uckin with the cattie again we get addict
Chicks on my dick and I'll prolly get at it.
Walk into the back with a couple of females
Why you on the phone checkin' the e-mails
feelin' kinda drunk now I can't te-eh-ell
If thas your girl dawg oh well!
(she's going with me)
Enough with the blah blah you know I really
Wanna see your na nas girl get silly
So I told her bend over
I'ma do the facebook and poke ya
[Chorus]
Do you like it in the club'
Honestly I don't like it in the club
But I will not cut 'cause I love that ass
So I'ma stay right here 'til the sun comes up
And I'ma watch you shake it girl
And if you got that cake go on and bake it girl
Shake that kinky bootay
So you wanna go home with me
Okay come home with me
We can get up in the bed for the day
Get it right spend the rest of the night
Up in my sheets and
We can shake it girl
And if you got that cake go on and bake it girl
Shake that kinky bootayy
[Chorus]
And this is how I do it in the club
I need it then I make ya fall in love
I hit it from the front the back
And side to side like that
And side to side like that
I start to sound like that
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
In the club (the club)
Give me love give give me love within in
All my girls in the house get low
If you look good go on touch your toes
fuckin'' with your boy here.
Oh fo-sho-oh-oh
What my name is y'all know
Raving 'til dawn the dogs they get busy
Put the song on they (they) all get dizzy
Uckin with the cattie again we get addict
Chicks on my dick and I'll prolly get at it.
Walk into the back with a couple of females
Why you on the phone checkin' the e-mails

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”
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
