The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my full fill
In the someday
What's that sound?
In the someday
What's that sound?
In the someday
What's that sound?
In the someday
What's that sound?
Broken heart and broken bones
Finger plaster cast and horse pills
One more quirky cliché phrase
You're the one I wanna refill
In the someday
What's that sound?

What's that sound?
Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral
Which have been painted brown and attached to the skull with common wood screws
Can make a child look like a deer

"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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
You know what I think. I think Coutney killed him, indirectly. First she wanted a baby, so Kurt wouldn't leave her, and later she wanted to divorce. She knew about his parents divorce and how much it hurted him. Actually, his whole life and the music are influenced by it. I also think she used him for the success of her own carreer. i know she met him a long time before nirvana was so big, but WHEN it was, she took advantage of it. She got Frances in the same time when Nirvana went famous... I know Kurt was depressed his whole life and also believe it was suicide, but it was Courtney who made him even more depressed by getting a child and than telling him she wanted to divorce. I know he had a lot of trouble, also whit drugs and his stomach, and i believe he shot himself trough the head, but after all, it was Courtney who made him a really unhappy person. So what I think is that she did not shot him, but indirectly she is a murder.
