In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I been sitting here all night long
I been sitting here for way too long
Will somebody tell me whats going on
Will somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong
Cause girls come and yes girls they go
I wish these girls would just let me know
Can I take you home tonight
Is my future with you looking bright
We ain't nothing but dust in your eye
I'm content just like being high
Flirting just makes time go by
It seems nothing works even though I try
So this is what we're gonna do
You'll make easy for me I'll make it easy for u
Just clap your hands just clap your hands
Just clap your hands if your horny
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it
Get on my lap and do a dance
I keep on looking at her like I got game
Whats your sign girl whats your name
Are you looking at me like I'm looking at u
L8r on baby doll we'll be cooking for 2
Girls come and yes girls they go
I wish these girls would just let me know
Can I take you home tonight
Is my future with you looking bright
All this conversating is so frustrating
All this waiting that comes along with dating
Masturbating we'll be just fine
Just wasting time with these pick up lines
Well this is what we're gonna do
You'll make easy for me I'll make it easy for u
Just clap your hands just clap your hands
Just clap your hands if your horny
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it
Get on my lap and do a dance
Put your hands back on
Put your hands back on
Put your hands back on
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

I love the wild take on "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands." How fun is that song! I haven't listened to it in too long! Whenever I hear it I think of when I sat in a baptist bible camp and sang the original song...which makes me laugh. The guy is happy 'cause he's horny and he believes he's gonna get him some:)
