Not such an innocent girl

Victoria Beckham

Oh
Oh ooh

Hey, whoa baby
(not such an innocent girl)

First impressions can be wrong
So let me clear what's goin' on
Baby I'm not who you think I am
I need to feel some lips on mine
So I'm pullin' you across the line
You think I'm the fragile one
One slip the damage done

I'm not made of china
I'm not made of glass
Would it shatter your illusions
If this angel had a past?

If you touch me I won't break
Don't think of me that way
I'm not such an innocent girl
Don't wrap me up in cotton-wool
Up on a pedestal
I'm not such an innocent girl

I've got a secret rose tattoo
I'm dying just to show you
I'm not as shy as you think I am
It's time to take of those kid-gloves
T.K.O. me fall in love
Don't be scared you'll break my heart
I'm not gonna fall apart

I'm not made of china
I'm not made of glass
Would it shatter your illusions
If this angel had a past?

If you touch me I won't break
Don't think of me that way
I'm not such an innocent girl
Don't wrap me up in cotton-wool
Up on a pedestal
I'm not such an innocent girl

If you touch, if you touch me, I
If you touch me I won't break
If you touch, if you touch me, I
If you touch me I won't

Not such an innocent girl

(Ooh no I won't break)

If you touch me I won't break
Don't think of me that way
I'm not such an innocent girl
Don't wrap me up (come on) in cotton-wool (who)
Up on a pedestal
I'm not such an innocent girl
(dying just to show you)

If you touch me I won't break
I won't break, don't think of me that way
(no, no)
Not such an innocent girl, whoa
I'm not such an innocent girl

If you touch me I won't break
Don't think of me that way
I'm not such an innocent girl
Don't wrap me up in cotton-wool
Up on a pedestal
I'm not such an innocent girl

If you touch, my world won't fall apart
No you won't break my heart

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
