I feel like this is a version someone would sing to themselves after being in the situation described in the song
the really gentle drone at 4:41 is everything
Imagine not liking this version
You've got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You've got a fast car
I've got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working at East Side's Health and Children's Centre
I've managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He lives with his prescription drugs and that's the way it is
His body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
Somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit life and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving
Driving in your car
The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
The 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 I could be someone
Be someone
Be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still don't have a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving
Driving in your car
The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
The 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 I could be someone
Be someone
Be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out late drinking at the bar
You see your friends more than you do your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving
Driving in your car
The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
The 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 I could be someone
Be someone
Be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
This is like inhaling cold night air after crying. Love it.
bruh this is some good stuff!
Listening to this at 12:24 am in the dark hits hard
12:41 here ❤️
1:35 here
2:50
16:49 pm here, still hits hard
2:54 am
cried. best cover of any song.
this has a very Syd Barrett feel to it. a little like golden hair.
people hating on this version are definitely not ready for the Jim O Rourke one
i like the jim o rourke version and hate this version
Jim's version is a lot more tame and truer to the spiritual nature of this song although I adore Jamie's version.. they provide a coldness and longingness in this song I never realized until I heard this
It's been a couple of weeks that I'm listening to Jim O'Rourke thanks to this comment! :)
@@117Learco Jim O'Rourke rulessss
I love both. I love even more the Jim one. That is one of the greatest songs I've ever listened. So spiritual, so envolving.
i cried
xiu xiu my new crew!!!
i remember we were driving
Beautiful
I love this song

Hard to believe this guy ever even listened to this back after trying one take.
I'm sorry, this sounds exactly like Chris Fleming's parody of Sufjan Stevens. Not good at all
Wtf is this
This is xiu xiu
@@jayjayfeday7304 Never mentions how it's a cover straight up stolen from Jamaican reggae singer Foxy Brown ua-cam.com/video/vScKQ4gexwk/v-deo.html
@@Agent-vj3ns These two versions of Chapmans original sound WILDLY different lmao
@@SupremeShoelace what about this one? She kinda has her own thing going ua-cam.com/video/LjUgz5FHR90/v-deo.html
Is this supposed to be a joke?
+Keenan B why?
+Moisés Daniel
its an extremely slow cover of a song titled fast car, yeah its supposed to be a joke
+Patrick Hyde well you can see it that way. But its xiu xiu. I doubt theyd base the entire cover on a pun. Especiallly with this amount emotion

huh
Hilarious!!!
Horrible.
Yes we all are
@@wordviruses thank you
yea i am that's why i'm listening to this
It's emotionally honest. If raw emotion puts you off, you've got some introspection to do.
@@s0fa_kingBoo fucking hoo it’s still trash.
