Take your shoes off, let your hair down
Time for you to get away
Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow
Are you gonna miss today?

Sometimes the madness gets you crazy, yeah
Sends you looking for a place to hide
Start you thinking that you never
Get yourself some piece of mind

But you can do it, you can do it
You can do it to your hearts delight
If you can do it with your imagination
Then you can do it in real life

Feel the magic of the moment
Let your spirit carry you away
Get in touch with all your feelings
Find out what they have to say

Sometimes the madness gets you crazy
That you're looking for a place to hide
Starts you thinking that you'll never
Gonna get yourself some peace of mind

But you can do it, oh, you can do it
You can do it to your hearts delight
If you can do it with your imagination
Then you can do it in real life

Feel as free as an eagle
Flying the whole world high in the sky
You'll touch the fires of love inside you
You've be looking to find

You can do it, you can do it
You can do it to your hearts delight
If you can do it with your imagination
Then you can do it, can do it, oh

Yeah, do it, c'mon do it
Oh do it, yeah

You gotta believe it, oh, believe it
Do it, do it, you can do it, you can do it
Take it easy, you gotta believe
If you want it you can have it
You can do it in real life

Do it, you can do it
You can do it to your hearts delight
If you can do it with your imagination
Then you can do it in real life
Yeah, do it

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
