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.
Love
This is getting harder
And I can't seem to pick you out of the crowd
But you my dear
Have been discovered a liar (a liar)
And I'm afraid that this is building up for far too long (far too long)
And this is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and lets go down to the water
In a different time or place the words can make more sense
In the perfect world the future wouldn't make it
So dry your hollow eyes and lets go down to the water
Even though it's the last time
Love
This is getting the best of me
And truth be told, you were the start of it all
Now you my dear might end up lonely (lonely)
Before you go there's something you should know (You should know)
And this is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and lets go down to the water
In a different time or place the words can make more sense
In the perfect world the future wouldn't make it
So dry your hollow eyes and lets go down to the water
Even though it's the last time.
This is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and lets go down to the water
In a different time or place the words can make more sense
In the perfect world the future wouldn't make it
So dry your hollow eyes and lets go down to the water
Please, let's not speak, don't breath a word
Even though it's the last time
Please, let's not speak, don't breath a word
Even though it's the last time
This is getting harder
And I can't seem to pick you out of the crowd
But you my dear
Have been discovered a liar (a liar)
And I'm afraid that this is building up for far too long (far too long)

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
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.
these lyrics were taken from the live version of this song of 44D.
faggots.
