He's got a brand new car
Looks like a jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player

But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon

But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

He's got a brand new car
He's got a brand new car

A brand new car
A brand new car
A brand new car

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

    I thought it was 'drink cider from eleven', which is the time pubs open in england. So when they live in this house in Devon, they will be in the pub drinking cider at 11am.

    feeder is a good band.. and jon lee... remembered. i was in dublin, ireland finishing my finals when i heard this song and the aforementioned band on MTV, it glued to me immediately. i always fancied good music arrangements from any rock songs. this one certainly has it.. simplicity in its own originality. keep up the good work - my wish to feeder.

    The song that got me into Feeder. The car is a metaphor for the journey of life I think, not a real car. It's just about completely starting again (as the 2nd verse shows)

    Do they actually say "Buck Rogers" in the song, like the lyrics suggest?

    They do, StarmanDX, but its rather distorted. I personally didn't hear it until I listened for it.

    Buck Rodgers is actually about Grant's ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend showing off in his 'brand new car' we can assume that it resembled a Jaguar, and it's safe to say that it had an in-built CD player lol, i love this song, it's amazing catchy

    The name "Buck Rogers" comes from a space hero who was sent 500 years into the future and returns to earth. My suggestion is that the part where he says "let's start over again" has something to do with this.

    Good song; rock on!

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”

Mountain Song
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."

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.
