Fast as I Can

Stone Temple Pilots

She don't even like you anymore
She don't even like you anymore
Ain't no chance she loves you like before
She will even take you to the morgue

Gotta gotta gotta now find a way
Gotta gotta gotta now find a way
Gotta gotta gotta now find a way
Now pick up the song there's some to say
Now wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

I don't know
I'm feeling oh so low
I'm feeling oh so high
Why, why, why am I crying?
Running fast to the liquor store
I quickly hit the wall
And stumble through the open door
Through the open door

I can't get all them couples anymore
I can't buy you fancy yogurt anymore
When it comes to me and you
It's all just business like before
And I walk a mile and a half for you no more
No, no

Gotta gotta gotta now find a way
Gotta gotta gotta now find a way
Gotta gotta gotta now find a way
Now pick up the song there's somethin' to say
Now wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

I don't know
I'm feeling oh so low
I'm feeling oh so high
Why, why, why am I crying?
Running fast to the liquor store
I quickly hit the wall
And stumble through the open door
Through the open door

Up on the wall I saw an alley cat
She had heels six feet tall and she towered over all
I learned my lesson well
I think we learned our lesson well
Maybe more, maybe more
Maybe more, maybe more, maybe more

I don't know
I'm feeling oh so low
I'm feeling oh so high
Why why why am I crying?
Running fast to the liquor store
I quickly hit the wall
And stumble through the open door
Through the open door

    Going with the trend of people repeating everyone else's idea of what the meaning of the song is, sounds like scott is talking about his ex wife's new boyfriend here... if she has one.

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.

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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
