(Left you, jest you??)
(Smoke screen in your shakey ground??)
And I can rest my head
When I feel the need
It's just I'm not around

So quit your crying
And your complaining
You got explaining to do

I'm sick of trying
And I'm blaming
You got it coming to you

So look at now baby
(And all is coming in??)
You wipe your tears

Don't you pull this crap with me now
I've known you too many years

Am I crying?

Just relax
I'll knock you out
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Fly away

Go play
Go play

And I can rest my head
When I feel the need
It's just I'm not around

So quit your crying
And your complaing
You got explaining to do

I'm sick of trying
And I'm blaming
You got it coming to you

So look at now baby
(And all is coming in??)
You wipe your tears

Don't you pull this crap with me now
I've known you too many years

Am I crying?

Just relax
I'll knock you out
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Fly away

Go play
Go play

'Cuz when it comes around
It goes around, around, around, around

And when it comes around
It goes around, around, around, around

And it's never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never
Gonna stop

And I can rest my head
When I feel the need
It's just I'm not around

Never
Never
Never
Never
Never

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
