Shut up
I'm about to take all your innocence for free
In the end you're gonna want to pay me any and everything
Shut up

I'm about to tell you how I won the war
Won't tell you what or how or when
In the end you're never ever ever gonna ask what for
Hello hello hello hello hello hello

Are you talking to me
Hello hello hello hello hello hello
Breathe, baby, breathe
Shut up

I'm about to tell you about the difference you'll never make
And win the war with no regrets no hurt no pain no shame
Shut up
I'm about to tell you some secrets you'll never know

Now don't ask what don't moan don't cry don't even ask what this is gonna go
Hello hello hello hello hello hello
Are you talking to me
Hello hello hello hello hello hello

Breathe, baby, breathe
What's the matter?
My babys dead
His heart went blind on me

My dress caught fire with one match that you gave me
And all that's left is your bail and the breath I got
I won't change and you're missing me 'cause your phonecalls gone and...
No-ones coming

No-nes coming
No-ones coming
No-ones coming for you
Hello hello hello hello hello

My dress on fire
Hello hello hello hello hello
It's burning down
Hello hello hello hello hello

I got no desire
Would you believe this
Same day
Same year

Ring around the rosey
Yeah addicted to all that shit
Pocket full of real estate
Tax return

Don't you hate when it all burns down
Die die dust dust
Fire baby, fire baby, fire baby, fire baby
Fire

    I always thought this song was about Courtney being lonely and desperately wanting to talk to someone...but that's just my opinion.

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."

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.
