"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.
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Onde você tá eu quero sentir a sua boca agora
Quero ter você sei o que fazer então vem e não demora
Então chega aí então senta aqui e bota pra quebrar
Revira a cama toda é o nosso mundo de pernas pro ar
Girl, just shot that body
Samba, make it touch the floor
Brazilian wax that body
Makes me want some more
Sit on my lap, give it a ride
Say she wants some more
Do it for crack and for the back
Take that ass so tall
My sexy ladies, Rio, São Paulo
We're in this beach with Naldo
Pop a hundred bottles
Me engole me sente respira me excita
Me engole me sente respira me excita
Se joga no meu colo amor
Ai se joga no meu colo amor
Ai se joga no meu colo amor
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo
Onde você tá eu quero sentir a sua boca agora
Quero ter você sei o que fazer então vem e não demora
Então chega aí então senta aqui e bota pra quebrar
Revira a cama toda é o nosso mundo de pernas pro ar
Se liga no flow fat Joe let go Mona Vie firmou
É a hora do show é uma loucura é uma delícia
O swing dela New York City, Miami eu tô de margiela
Mexe ai pra mim vem descendo assim
Hip hop, samba, funk, eu tô mandando aqui
Me engole me sente respira me excita
Me engole me sente respira me excita
Se joga no meu colo amor
Ai se joga no meu colo amor
Ai se joga no meu colo amor
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Onde você tá eu quero sentir a sua boca agora
Quero ter você sei o que fazer então vem e não demora
Então chega aí então senta aqui e bota pra quebrar
Revira a cama toda é o nosso mundo de pernas pro ar
Girl, just shot that body
Samba, make it touch the floor
Brazilian wax that body
Makes me want some more
Sit on my lap, give it a ride
Say she wants some more
Do it for crack and for the back
Take that ass so tall
My sexy ladies, Rio, São Paulo

Me engole me sente respira me excita
Me engole me sente respira me excita
Se joga no meu colo amor

Ai se joga no meu colo amor
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Ai se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem
Se joga se joga joga no meu colo e vem

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.
