"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.
Big Vagina Syndrome is becoming a common disease
Ladies that have this affliction are never easy to please
If you poke someone with B.V.S. there's not much you can do
It's like filling the Lincoln Tunnel with an Oscar Meyer wiener or two
I won't rest till I do my best
To rid the whole world of B.V.S.
Gonna do my best
To rid the whole world of motherfucking B.V.S.
B.V.S. is a bit like shooting hoops with a tennis ball
It's easy to get it in there, but it doesn't satisfy at all
Well I do my best to make 'em cum, but my cock won't do the trick
And I got a full five inches
In other words, a massive dick, yeah
I won't rest till I do my best to rid the whole world of B.V.S.
I'm gonna pass that test
Gonna rid the world of that ubiquitous B.V.S.
B.B.S. is different
That's when your tits get super fat
But most guys that I talk to say they got no problem with that, no
Sood man, Big Vagina Syndrome is not just a silly joke
It's a pandemic of massive proportions affecting every girl I poke
If a man like me can't make you cum with my massive piece of meat
Chances are you got B.V.S. girl
And that's the thing that we gotta beat
Gotta beat that fuckin meat
I won't rest till I do my best to rid the whole world of B.V.S.
Whoa, ya got some kick ass breasts, but the problem is that goddamn B.V.S. B.V.S.
Ladies that have this affliction are never easy to please
If you poke someone with B.V.S. there's not much you can do
It's like filling the Lincoln Tunnel with an Oscar Meyer wiener or two
I won't rest till I do my best
To rid the whole world of B.V.S.
Gonna do my best
To rid the whole world of motherfucking B.V.S.
B.V.S. is a bit like shooting hoops with a tennis ball
It's easy to get it in there, but it doesn't satisfy at all
Well I do my best to make 'em cum, but my cock won't do the trick

I won't rest till I do my best to rid the whole world of B.V.S.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
