"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.
Many colors in the homo rainbow
Don't be afraid to let your colors shine
Many colors in the homo rainbow
Show me yours. I'm gonna show you mine
If you find a pot of gold
Every little thing is gonna work out fine
In the homo rainbow
Many colors in the homo rainbow
You give me shade from black to yellow
Many colors in the homo rainbow
A warm embrace and a kind-a hello
If you find a pot of gold
Every little thing is gonna work out fine
In the homo rainbow
If you find a pot of gold
Every little thing is gonna work out fine
In the homo rainbow
Every single color, every walk of life
In & out changin, every day and night
From the golden shores of Kansas, to the middle of Japan
reach inside your soul and learn your fellow
There are many colors in the homo rainbow
Don't be afraid to let your colors shine
Don't be ashamed of what God made you
Don't be afraid to let your colors shine
Many colors in the homo rainbow
Show me yours. I'm gonna show you mine
If you find a pot of gold
Every little thing is gonna work out fine
In the homo rainbow
Many colors in the homo rainbow
You give me shade from black to yellow
Many colors in the homo rainbow
A warm embrace and a kind-a hello
If you find a pot of gold
Every little thing is gonna work out fine
In the homo rainbow
If you find a pot of gold
Every little thing is gonna work out fine
In the homo rainbow
Every single color, every walk of life
In & out changin, every day and night
From the golden shores of Kansas, to the middle of Japan
reach inside your soul and learn your fellow
There are many colors in the homo rainbow
Don't be afraid to let your colors shine
Don't be ashamed of what God made you

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think Ween wrote this song just to offend the racists and homophobes in their audience.
"Don't be afraid to let your colors shine" to all the crazy's (homophobes) out there this song is for you. Show us what colors you have and be proud of it. It's better than you being a closet homophobe for years! After all, there are many colors in the homo rainbow, even your black viewpoints are part of that pot of gold! haha I love this song!
They aren't prejudiced against gay people. They are telling them to come out of the closet, and be who they are.
I don't think this song is about being gay exactly, it's about embracing your sexuality, whatever it is. "There are many colors in the homo rainbow" is a pun meaning it's ok to be gay or just a little gay.
yeah this song is definitly pro gay, now i know they use gay as an insult in the past but, so many people do, i try not to but go to any highschool, grade 9 kids are like, thats gay, it doesn't mean that they are homophobes they just have a bad habit, so yes they do use it derogitory in one song, but they aren't homophobic, and this song is proof.
haha, this is a funny song. it gives a good message to all you homos out there, "dont be afraid to let your colors shine." haha...<p><b><i>Edited by Matty on December 10 2005, at 06:23AM</i></b></p>
haha... test for echo
I thought this song was called ''The Homo Rainbow''?
Wow bethqueen your so hardcore what with your random hatred of canines and homosexuality. I think this is just a fun song about being gay. Not that Ween are. Thats just their sense of humour.
bethqueen is gay.
