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.
She keeps, standing there,
waiting to be noticed but the shivering slows the desire for these perty days(?)
they turn away, maybe someday she'll understand why it is the heart heart aches, woahohawoah
left them behind, so have so much that you keep waiting on their party days, so be my love, I can fill the shoes, but i dont need no f*cking party days
you left them behind, so have so much but you keep waiting on the party days
I'm looking at you, looking at me, but we don't need no f*cking party days
We keep, standing there, maybe I can save a soul, since the sake attracts so failed so much before, woahohawoah
left them behind, so have so much but you keep waiting on the party days
maybe my love, i can fill those shoes, but I dont need their fucking party days
you led the behind, so high so much, but you keep waiting on the party days
i'm looking at you, looking at me, but we dont need the f*cking party days
you left them behind, so have some much, but you keep waiting on the party days
be my love, i can fill the shoes, but i dont need their f*cking party days
you left the behing, so have so much, but you keep waiting on the party days
i'm looking at you, looking at me, and we dont need their f*cking party days
(these don't make much sense, but this is my best effort, its hard to clearly understand some of the words, people PLEASE post the corects lyrics)

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."

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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
thanx mememe123 , as you can see I'm not the greatest at this lyrics thing , like for instance is put "why it is that her heart heart aches" and you put "why he looks at her that way" totaly different, but o well, i tried
