Looking for some education
Made my way into the night
All that bullshit conversation
Baby, can't you read the signs?
I won't bore you with the details, baby
I don't even wanna waste your time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right
But if you're looking for fastlove
If that's love in your eyes
It's more than enough
Had some bad love
So fast love is all that I've got on my mind
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
What's there to think about, baby?
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Hey, baby, oh yeah
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Looking for some affirmation
Made my way into the sun
My friends got their ladies
They're all having babies
But I just wanna have some fun
I won't bore you with the details, baby
Gonna get there in your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right
But if you're looking for fastlove
That's love in your eyes
It's more than enough
Had some bad love
So fast love is all that I've got on my mind
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Yeah, what's there to think about, baby?
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Get yourself some lessons in love
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
So close
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Taste it now, baby
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
So close
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
In the absence of security
I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me (stupid Cupid keeps on calling me)
But I see loving in his eyes
I miss my baby (oh yeah)
I miss my baby (tonight)
So why don't we make a little room in my BMW, babe?
Searching for some peace of mind
Hey, I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing the same religion
Oh, you really oughta get up now
That's right (that's right)
Oh, you really oughta get up

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
there's fastlove part II also. it's in george michael upper album, a 2nd cd with Older. it's special edition you can get off amazon i think
Really, I didn't know there was a II!!!?? One of my favourites upbeat tracks ever! Of course it's about casual sex, but it's still so well written that it's just exquisite! I adore the "so why don't we make a little room in my BMW...." And the "I do believe that we are practising the same religion"...I even used to quote that! haha And the "I miss my baby..." The guy has physical needs, but still can't get that person out of mind, like happens to everyone who isn't over someone so important to us! :'(
I lOVE this song! Just so funky!
Honestly I think it's about not wanting all of the emotional crap in a relationship. What he wants is just a pure physical relationship
this song is an absolute classic....it's not so well known though so some dont really know about it...but yeah, it's str8 forward, a guy was in a committed relationship, didn’t work out and now he just wants to not worry about love (and have a good ol time) – like lots of people who come out of a failed relationship, he's looking for a shallow escape from his heartbreak. classic lines include "in the absence of security, I made my way into the night" and "I miss my baby, tonight / so why don’t we make a little room in my BMW" and of course "had some bad love / so fast love is all that's on my mind". i love how it also sounds like he's trying to recruit someone else and save that person from the heartache and complexity of relationships.
The song is an amazing song!! The song is clearly about his sexuality "i do believe that we are practicing the same religion". He wants fast love, he just wants sex wherever whenever with whomever. "make a little room in my BMW babe".. It's pretty obvious. The whole albums about change, and more importantly accepting change.
wrong lyrics
in the absence of security I made my way into the night stupid cupid keeps on calling me but I see nothing in his eyes
It's nothing in his eyes not lovin' in his eyes.
and the song is about cruising
@Serafina Pekkala This lyric is almost always wrong on lyric sites. Good catch. The irony is that “lovin’” is exactly the opposite of what he’s looking for!
what the hell is up with this site? (no offense, i actually love this site :D) but why do so many songs not have comments.
isnt this like a top10 song for a bbq party in the hot sun ? :D
wow that wasnt obvious in the song thanks for pointing it out!.... just kidding :D
yeh its a great song, very funky!
"so why don't we make a little room in my BMW babe "
haha wow i never noticed that lyric before! that rocks :D
This song is pretty funky. It made me think twice about ol' boy, George. Funkier than I would have thought he was capable of. Its pretty straightforward. Some people don't want to chat about the weather, or what's on tv, or what they did at work. Some people just want to look someone else in the eye and know that they're wanted and accepted.
Of course part of this song is about how we fill our emotional void with physical experiences. And thats a defense mechanism, and sometimes it's not all bad. Sometimes it's the medicine you need. Don't cry about the girl you loved who dumped you for no reason. Go have a fling with one who likes you, don't complicate things unless the need to be. Get yourself a lesson in love. I can dig it.
inlieu..i'm not sure G. Mikey is exactly the marrying type.. ;)snurkle
