"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.
We know why everyone hates balls
It's because they're caught in the middle of a war
The war between your dick and ass
We've grown to welcome dicks of every shape and size
There's no limit to the fun we can have in this war
The war between your dick and ass
Here's a fun little life hack:
We can start a fire if we scissor each other's nutsacks
After that, you can press your taint onto me
I'm gonna show you how to make your bootie hole blink
It gets better and better, I find
If you swing your dick and spank your ass at the same time
I wanna use your balls as a trampoline
And bounce around until I drop to my knees
You will be mine
You will shove your whole face in my ass
They call me king dingaling
You'll get hypnotized by the way it swings
Dick so big, you can barely see my balls
You can find me shooting semen on your bedroom walls
The head of my cock is actually a fist
You never really know if you're about to get kissed
I'll use your nutsack as a punching bag
I can deep throat anything and never gag
We know why everyone hates balls
It's because they're caught in the middle of a war
The war between your dick and ass
We've grown to welcome dicks of every shape and size
There's no limit to the fun we can have in this war
The war between your dick and ass
I don't need no jewelry, but a pearl necklace will do
I'll give you hugs and kisses and a dinner for two
If you tease me anymore I might have a heart attack
Make me wait any longer and I'll suck that dick from the back
If you tease me anymore I might have a heart attack
Make me wait any longer and I'll suck that dick from the back
I don't even sound like this guy
And if you try to say I'm brojob one more time
I'll shoot the massive moose load in your eye
I know cock-fu and I'm not scared to finish
You're pissing me off with "you're brojob, admit it"
Once you go moose, you're forever loose
It's because they're caught in the middle of a war
The war between your dick and ass
We've grown to welcome dicks of every shape and size
There's no limit to the fun we can have in this war
The war between your dick and ass
Here's a fun little life hack:

@[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

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,
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
