Let's sling our rain slicks over
February's fantastic antlers
sprouting from the foreheads of
world famous necromancers

The winter's looming like a
bloodthirsty bird of prey
And I guarantee by spring we'll
either be world famous or
goddamned dead.

Guitar one fastens languid years to
busty bones like dust and skin on a
dull antique moon.

Guitar two's touch keeps ruining
lovers for other lovers like jokers
concealed in trick decks in our laps.

There's a train tumbling down torn
paper tracks while weeds blossom
from heartbeats that lack.

Guitar three's dancing even though
her song ended ages and
ages ago.

She's at an empty dance club
suspended in the middle of a
rambling sentence.

Guitar four says, "If you still
believe in the grace of man, let me
introduce you to greedy, greedy,
greedy hands."

Let's sling our rain slicks over every
single second to the rapture
dripping from clocks ticking all our
misadventures.

The winter left town with some
seventeen-year-old waitress.
And spring's laying in a pile of all
moments of our misadventure.

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
