I got superstition
Ruling my decision
You are my religion
Haven't got a prayer

So just give me the sign and I'll follow you
When every angel's guarding you
You are my religion
Haven't got a prayer

I don't want to wait
To save your life
I think I know a way
To make things right

Just give me the sign and I'll come for you
Give me the sign and I'll be your rescue, baby
I'll run your way when I hear you calling me

Give me the sign and I'll come for you
Give me the sign and I'll be your rescue, baby
I'll run your way when I hear you calling out for me

Walking under ladders
Nothing really matters
There could be disaster
I don't really care

So just give me the sign and I'll follow you
When every angel's guarding you
There could be disaster
I don't really care

I don't want to wait
To save your life
I think I know a way
To make things right

Just give me the sign and I'll come for you
Give me the sign and I'll be your rescue, baby
I'll run your way when I hear you calling me

Give me the sign and I'll come for you
Give me the sign and I'll be your rescue, baby
I'll run your way when I hear you calling out

For me
For me

I don't want to wait
To save your life
I think I know a way
To make things right

Just give me the sign
Give me the sign
Give me the sign
Just give me the sign

Just give me the sign and I'll come for you
Give me the sign and I'll be your rescue, baby
I'll run your way when I hear you calling me

Give me the sign and I'll come for you
Give me the sign and I'll be your rescue, baby
I'll run your way when I hear you calling out for me
Give me the sign

Give me the sign
Give me the sign
Give me the sign

    well i kinda agree with all you guys... but when i first listened to this amazing song, i instantly struck me that it must have been about me. i think it might describe s.o. desperately in love with s.o. else without him/her knowing, you see?! you just don't know what she/he feels in return and somehow wait for "a sign" :) and if signs are positive the "i" just believes that it's gonna be legen...wait for it...daaaaary XD or in the words of meat loaf: "i would do anything for love" ;)

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
