Si yo fuera diputado
Sería un tipo bien intencionado
Promovería la industria
Sin olvidar a Chepe, el del mercado

Si fuese cardenal
Censuraría el sermón si se repite
Conseguiría una novia
Para no andar jugando al escondite

Por eso no soy
Ni diputado ni cardenal
Soy marioneta del carnaval

De ser rey de Inglaterra
Empezaría por devolver las tierras
Que se las han robado
Justo a los que no pueden darles guerra

Si fuese Demi Moore
No habría proposición indecorosa
Por menos de un millón
Me hubiese ido a acostar con cualquier cosa

Por eso no soy
Rey de Inglaterra ni Demi Moore
Soy aprendiz de cantautor

Buscando historias en los cocteles
Puritanas en los burdeles
Buscando genios en los cuarteles
Mordiendo tiras en los retenes

Buscando flores en la basura
Buscando ilesos en las dictaduras
Buscando humanos en las caricaturas
Buscando enanos con estatura

Si yo volviera a ser niño
Seguro no le haría caso a nadie
Te heredan sus complejos
Iglesia y hasta equipo de fútbol

Si fuese lo que soy
Seguro pensaría "Está todo bien
¿Qué es lo que puedo hacer?
Si ya soy pasajero de este tren"

Por eso no soy
Ni niño ni lo que soy
Soy otro plato más en el mantel

Buscando historias en los cocteles
Puritanas en los burdeles
Buscando genios en los cuarteles
Mordiendo tiras en los retenes

Buscando flores en la basura
Buscando ilesos en las dictaduras
Buscando humanos en las caricaturas
Buscando enanos con estatura

Buscando historias en los cocteles
Puritanas en los burdeles
Buscando genios en los cuarteles
Mordiendo tiras en los retenes

Buscando flores en la basura
Buscando ilesos en las dictaduras
Buscando humanos en las caricaturas
Buscando enanos con estatura

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
