Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
This ruined puzzle is beige
With the pieces all face down
So the placing goes slowly
The picture's of anything other than it's meant to be
But the hours, they creep
Patterns repeat
Don't be concerned
You know I'll be fine on my own
I never said, "Don't go."
I've written a note
It's pressed between pages
That you've marked to find your way back
It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"
But what if the pages stay pressed
The chapters unfinished
The story too dull to unfold?
Does he ever get the girl?
This basement's a coffin
I'm buried alive
I'll die in here just to be safe
I'll die in here just to be safe
'Cause you're gone
I get nothing
And you're off with
Barely a sigh
I never said, "Goodbye."
So I've written a note
It's pressed between pages
That you've marked to find your way back
It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"
I've written a note
It's pressed between pages
That you'll read if you're so inclined
It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"
But the hours, they creep
Patterns repeat
Don't be concerned
You know I'll be fine on my own
I never said, "Don't go."
Don't go
Does he ever get the girl?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I know what you are talking about Muzical, It will be hard, I went through the same thing last august, but I was the one leaving, you'll be fine though. George, you might be correct, but I think you are wrong. Emilia, just make sure you find a guy who listens to his mom, and respects and loves her(but doesn't love her too much:p) I can honestly say I am a romatic, I know a couple otherguys out there like me, you just make sure it is what you want and make sure you are looking for it.
