Nu slår vårens första regn emot taken
jag står vid fönstret, som en vålnad
Den här stan är som ett pålagt skratt
lika död, lika punktlig och lånad
En gång hade jag mitt kort i baren
i slippen mellan framgång och undergång
Mitt i ängslighetens största seger
i samförståndets och skvallrets knägång

Du drar mig till soffan
vi lägger oss ner, och du viskar
Den här stan är för sorglig
vi är värda så mycket mer

Vår klass är inte första klass
när blodet stiger slinter kniven
Den kränkte vill ha sanning till varje pris
men slåss med en egg som är sliten
Nej, inget är så svårt som att vinna mot sig själv
vi kan reglerna, men kan vi spelet
Skriker, fäktar förtvivlat framför domaren
som om vi redan fölorat och vet det

Det är det raka, det äkta
i dig som jag ser
Men hur många kors ska du dö på
du är värd så mycket mer

Du säger livet är en enda kamp för värdighet
jag tror jag förstår vad du menar
En kamp för kärleken, guden inom oss
en kamp för det som lyfter, förenar
Politiker, media kanaler utan vatten
allt har ett pris, allt saknar värde
Från kyrkan på berget strömmar toner
det är sången som vi en gång lärde oss

Om en rikedom större
än den här världen ger
Vi visste det då
vi är så mycket mer

Nu slår höstens första regn
mot vår motorhuv
När du somnat såg jag gränsen
vi är över den nu

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
