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.
Your face is everywhere I go now
And you're on every television show now
Baby I need you
You're everything I want in someone
But you don't know who I am
Baby why should you?
Sweating all over your video
Watching every scene in slow mo
Tracking you down on the internet
'Cause I ain't seen you naked yet
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney
I even know the place that you live
And I don't care who your boyfriend is
'Cause one day it's gonna be me
And I think that I'm obsessed with you girl
'Cause I copy everything you do now
And Pepsi lets me taste you
God must of spent a little more time on you
In school uniform you look so good
And you say that you're not a girl
I'll make you a woman
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney
Every single thing you do
Every time I look at you
I become a slave for you
You drive me crazy
You know that I won't stop until I got you
I want you, Britney
What the hell can I do
To get closer to you
You can run you can't hide
I'll make you feel good inside
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney
And you're on every television show now
Baby I need you
You're everything I want in someone
But you don't know who I am
Baby why should you?
Sweating all over your video
Watching every scene in slow mo
Tracking you down on the internet
'Cause I ain't seen you naked yet
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney
I even know the place that you live
And I don't care who your boyfriend is
'Cause one day it's gonna be me
And I think that I'm obsessed with you girl
'Cause I copy everything you do now
And Pepsi lets me taste you
God must of spent a little more time on you
In school uniform you look so good
And you say that you're not a girl
I'll make you a woman
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney
Every single thing you do
Every time I look at you
I become a slave for you
You drive me crazy
You know that I won't stop until I got you
I want you, Britney
What the hell can I do
To get closer to you
You can run you can't hide
I'll make you feel good inside
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney
I want you, Britney
I need you here with me
You know that I won't stop until I've got you
I want you, Britney

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i cant add to that, it says it all
Cunts
i think charlies a right tosser, but hes still a good singer and thats what matters. James is major cute and matt just blends in. stop spending time dissing them...if u dont like them so much, which comment?
which comment? I don't understand what you mean.
i didnt mean WHICH comment, i meant WHY comment. And with a name like quiffporn, u obviously need to get a life!
And you need to learn the difference between "which" and "why".
And on another point, you are an idiot...
shut up quiffporn, u r an idiot
shut up quiffporn, u r an idiot
You are the one who can't tell the difference between "which" and "why".
That reminds me of an old saying, something about people in glass houses...
I just like how someone said because your name is quiffporn you must obviously be an idiot. Because that is a very logical argument. Yes, indeed. Applaud yourself alfrim, and then shoot yourself.
