C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

When nothing's funny it gets easy to laugh
At the drop of the hat or a bomb
When someone's screaming it's hard to ignore
Like the shot of a gun, c'mon

Let's run to a place somewhere
The party never ends
Let's run till there's no way
To go on, c'mon

Can't you hear the sirens blowing
Can't you hear them call
Can't you see the lasers probing
Brighter than the sun, let's run

c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Let's run from a promise
That could never be kept
Let's run or it's sure to chase us down
Well c'mon, let's run

c'mon, let's run
C'mon, let's run

Can't you hear the sirens blowing
Can't you hear them call
Can't you see those lasers probing
Brighter than the sun, well c'mon

c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

When no one's laughing you can bet they've been paid
Not to find out what's going on
When something's funny there's a feeling you get
It's the grip of a threat, c'mon

Let's run to a place somewhere
The party never ends
Let's run till there's no way
To go on, c'mon

Let's run from a promise
That could never be kept
Let's run or it's sure to chase us down
Well c'mon, let's run

c'mon, let's run
C'mon, let's run
C'mon, well let's run

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

Punchline
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.
