"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.
Uh,Big Daddy K,Morcheeba,Uh,Feel me,Uh
Every time I think about you
My senses start to raise
And when I try to get you
You're gone without a trace
In my imagination
I see you here with me
We 're doing things together
This is not reality
Nobody knows ya
But I've got to fight
Something about ya
Plays in my mind
What's your name?
Been watching everything you do
I can look but I can't touch
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
I try to get to know you
And your identity
You're always in the distance
Don't seem to notice me
So much I want to tell you
How come you're never here?
Every time I try to stop you
You always disappear
Nobody knows ya
But I've got to fight
Something about ya
Plays in my mind
What's your name?
Been watching everything you do
I can look but I can't touch
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
What's your name?

There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
There's nothing wrong in wanting you!
Listen, I put it down in a way that you have to just love
Mad xxxxxx, dance with me, so we passin' them both?
At the end of the night when I'm asking "What's up"
Track 6 of 50's album that's what's after the club
All the same when I run my game
Let me make it crystal clear to you

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
