Running down the street
Scott looked back at me and said
This is another bizzare and
thankless situation you've gotten us in

i said, oh like you've never been in a fight before
as if you've never caused a scene.
anyway scott shut up you're not even really here

this ain't the worst we seen
we been through worse than this
we will live to laugh 'bout this
shut up and keep running
what did you say to make that guy so angry

Scott smiles, i bust through a restaurant to their kitchen back door
The cooks look up startled as i trip across the floor.
You used to be so good at getting out of things, Scott
I say "how come you never taught me that trick
Behind the restaurant we are sizing up the fence

am i going to get over that thing
I've been through worse than this
i will live to laugh about this
I am sick of running
Jumping roof to roof, it's scary

I'm sick of it Scott, fighting
Sometimes winning,
sometimes my jaw needs icing
I do think i'm funny but
Some day it'll be one bon mot too many.

i honestly don't know if i am going to make some of those leaps
I gesture up, a figure in a window waves
Hi, there has got to be some smarter way to deal with all these creeps
Scott purses his lips, furrows his brow and says

There has never been a time
when brains have not won over brawn
we will live to see the dawn.
And Scott you are still not really here
We all do what we can where we can, Pete

Get home safely
I will, I do, I always do
I miss you, you bastard
I will, I do, I always do

There has never been a time
When brains have not won over brawn
We will live to see the dawn
And Scott you are still not really here
We all do what we can where we can, Pete

I'm sick of it Scott, fighting
Sometimes winning
sometimes my jaw needs icing
Do you think that i'm funny
And thats what I said to make that guy so angry

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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 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.
