Bring it!

I am the underdog
I am one of many faces
in a room full of people
I wouldn't trade any places

You think that I look like
That I couldn't squash playdough
But inside this body
I'm a MuthaVolcano

Drop the lyric

You all think I'm small & fragile
But I'm agile & I'll wipe your smile in a quick while
Take a closer look at the book not it's cover & brother
Hows what you discover?

I got what I got
Eye of the tiger
Heart of the lion
A will tough as iron

It's common sense to give yourself room
cuz' in the end
I'm running free, babe!
Alienation
don't need to be a 2 bit hero
displayed in cleo
cuz' I got it inside here ya'll, HERE YA'LL

I am the underdog
I am one of many faces
In a room full of people
I wouldn't trade any places

the originator
the new innovator
why recreate ya
I'll be me that's my nature

And in my mind I can see things
that no- one else will ever ever dream of
I like to think in my own little way
I'm not insane
cuz I listen to the voices in my head

I LIKE TO THINK IN MY OWN LITTLE WAY!!!

I am the underdog, I got the young blood
I am the underdog, I got the young blood
I got the young blood
I got the young blood
I got the young blood

    I think this song is all about having a perception of how your seen by others but knowing how strong you actually are in yourself. One of the best Aussie bands this is a classic song.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
