Ive got sunshine on a cloudy day
Ive got a lovely little lamb inside my brain

I got you and me thats a family
Lets sail the seven seas and see what we sea

Cause life is silly if you see like me
So please dont take life so seriously

Ive got you and me thats a family
Lets sail the seven seas and see what we

Cause life is so hard to explain
I got chemical swirls in my brain

I got you and me thats a family
Lets sail the seven seas and see what we sea

Cause life is silly if you see like me
So lets play pretend and make believe

I got you and me thats a family
Lets sail the seven seas and see what we

Cause life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me
Everybody sing it with me
Life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me, yeah

Life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me
Everybody sing it with me
Life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me, yeah

Life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me
Life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me, yeah

Life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me
Life is just a melody
So why dont all the pissy people go ahead and sing it with me, yeah

    Actually, I believe this song is about taking the drug phencyclidine, or 'angel dust'... Hence all the water relations as it's said to give you a sinking feeling. I think 'Life is silly if you see like me so don't take life so seriously' is actually referring to the distortion and detatched filtering effects the drug gives you... If you look it up it does make a lot of sense.

    It's also a track on the Alice in Wonderland album 'Not quite Alice' and is, all in all, a very cleverly written piece.

    Hope this helps :) Nevershoutnever <3

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.

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."

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.
