Carrying the weight of what you said
Now that I can't lift my feet off the floor
Instead of getting stronger, I lose my grip
The words get heavier and harder than before

Steady as she goes now, time can heal
But when it moves so slow that I can hardly feel
Anything but normal, is better than right now
Is better than the moment right before you let it go

Throw everything away
Hardly spent a day and the medicine's all gone
And say what you've got to say
We knew it all along, the medicine's all gone

I shake off the cloudiness, shake off the promises
And I still can't lift my feet off the floor
And here come the warning signs, this is the last goodbye
And it's the moment right before you let it go

Throw everything away
Hardly spent a day and the medicine's all gone
And say what you've got to say
We knew it all along, the medicine's all gone

The way things go
Should have planned the way things go
Should have planned the way things go
Should have planned the way things go

And there never is enough
Never is enough, the medicine's all gone
And there never is enough
Never is enough, the medicine's all gone

Is this enough now?
Is this enough to make it?
Is this enough now?
Is this enough to make it?
Is this enough now?
Is this enough to make it?
The medicine's all gone

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.
