Listen up, turn it up and rock it out
Party on, I wanna hear you scream and shout
This is real, as real as it gets
I came to get down to get some fucking respect
Taking it back to hardcore level
You better be ready, put your pedal to the metal
Taking it back to hardcore level
You better be ready, put your pedal to the metal

Go!

Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved

I want domination
I want your submission
I see you're not resisting
To this temptation
I've got one confession
A love deprivation
I've got a jet black heart
It's all fucked up and it's falling apart

Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved

I've got another confession
I fell to temptation
And there is no question
There was some connection
I've got to follow my heart
No matter how far
I gotta roll the dice
Never look back and never think twice

Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved

Take your past, burn it up and let it go
Carry on, I'm stronger than you'll ever know
That's the deal, you get no respect
You're gonna get yours
You better watch your fucking neck
Take the past, burn it up and let it go
Carry on, I'm stronger than you'll ever know
That's the deal, you get no respect
If you try to get hard you better watch your fuckin' neck

Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give up
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in (take your past, burn it up and let it go)
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in
Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in (take your past, burn it up and let it go)
I just wanna be, wanna be loved

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."

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.
