Shoot out the lights

Ron Pope

City lights the water as the snow forgets the sky
And we're staring at the bridges just like every other night

We've been watching for a miracle
We're praying for a sign
When the cure is made of poison then it's hard to rest your eyes

If it's time
Oh
Lord
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights

Heavens shake with anger and the clouds
They curse the ground
And I'm screaming for an answer but the darkness blinds me now

We will not survive on misery
We will fill ourselves with love
We are searching
We are hopeful
We are anything but lost

If it's time
Oh
Lord
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights

I see the stars in black and white
I pray to God most every night

I see the stars in black and white
And I pray to God most every night
(Shoot out the lights)

I see the stars in black and white
(Shoot out the lights)
(Shoot out the lights)
And I pray to God most every night
(Shoot out the lights)
(Shoot out the lights)

And I see the stars
I see the stars
(Shoot out the lights)
I see the stars
I see the stars
(Shoot out the lights)
I see the stars most every night
(Shoot out the lights)

(I see the stars in black and white)
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
(I pray to God most every night)
Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights
(I see the stars in black and white)
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
(I pray to God most every night)
Shoot out the lights

(I see the stars)
(I see the stars)

I see the stars in black and white
And I pray to God
I pray to God

    these lyrics have many problems.

    City lights the water as the snow forgets the sky And we're staring at the bridges just like every other night

    We've been watching for a miracle We're praying for a sign When the cure is made of poison then it's hard to rest your eyes

    If it's time Oh Lord Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights

    Heavens shake with anger and the clouds They curse the ground And I'm screaming for an answer but the darkness blinds me now

    We will not survive on misery We will fill ourselves with love We are searching We are hopeful We are anything but lost

    If it's time Oh Lord Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights

    I see the stars in black and white I pray to God most every night

    I see the stars in black and white And I pray to God most every night (Shoot out the lights)

    I see the stars in black and white (Shoot out the lights) (Shoot out the lights) And I pray to God most every night (Shoot out the lights) (Shoot out the lights)

    And I see the stars I see the stars (Shoot out the lights) I see the stars I see the stars (Shoot out the lights) I see the stars most every night (Shoot out the lights)

    (I see the stars in black and white) Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights (I pray to God most every night) Shoot out the lights

    Shoot out the lights (I see the stars in black and white) Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights (I pray to God most every night) Shoot out the lights

    (I see the stars) (I see the stars)

    I see the stars in black and white And I pray to God I pray to God

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."

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
