Paula Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 god, every word of this song means something to me tonight. i want to get out of here want someone to rescue me want to go want a fantastic man to turn up and take me away want to do something want to be someone "You got a fast car* I want a ticket to anywhere* Maybe we can make a deal* Maybe together we can get somewhere* Anything is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at a convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We got to make a decision* We leave tonight or live and die this way** I remember when we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder* And I had a feeling that I belonged* I had a feeling that I could be someone, be someone, be someone"** (Tracey Chapman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verbena Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I looooove Tracy Chapman. I have everything she has done (which isn't enough!), and I used to have several of her songs picked out to play at my funeral - morbid I know. Last year at this time I was playing her nonstop and felt she had very important things to say to me. I thought she was my best friend. Me 'n Tracy...hmmm.

Shoe Panda Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Wow. This song has been a mantra in my head for a long time. It's interesting to see that so many people have felt it resonate with them as well. Tracy Chapman...that's my girl there. She's very talented, very fresh.

Bryan Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 What? No Alice In Chains fans here? Sounds like you all go for that "easy listening" music. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'd go for your pink floyd. They're amazing! Love brain damage. Have you heard of Breed 77? Don't know if it's just a British thing. Aerosmith? Bon Jovi (hmm posssibly easy listening), Dire Straits? (Def easy listening lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Pink Floyd - definately (prefer The Wall though), Breed 77? - am I too old to know who this is? Aerosmith - Definately bon Jovi - no, not into Glamour rock...too much of a pretty boy Dire Straits - I like Sultans of Swing Lately been listening to Alice in Chains, Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, Mettallica...a lot of angry music oh and Pink Floyd when I'm feelin depressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I don't know it.... you gotta make yourself put some 'bouncy' music on, the sort of music that needs playing loud, to cheer yourself up again I'm using Bon Jovi for that tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
