I shaved my face and combed my hair,
Put on a new pair of underwear
And sat on the porch with my Labrador
Like a hundred other times before
She changed her shoes and freshened up her face,
Put on some skimpy sexy lace
And finally made her way through the back screen door,
We loaded up on the front seat of my Ford

[Chorus]
And we went out to dinner and we drove right back home,
Watched an old movie and drank a half a bottle of rum
Then we turned off the tv and we got right down to it,
There ain't nothin' left to do now that we've done it

Oh, yeah

It seems like it happens every time,
We get a chance to reignite that fire
We burn it fast and then retire
Just before the news on channel five

[Chorus]

After all these years it can get routine,
You can change the order up, or use different names
Try it in the mornin' or the middle of the day,
The end result's still the same

[Chorus]

Oh, Lord, we've turned off the t.v.
And we got right down to it,
And there ain't nothin' left to do now that we've done it

Hey, honey, hand me that remote.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

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.
