(VERSE 1)
There is a time for everyone
But this ain't the time or the place
When will you see what you're doing to me
My tear stains are easy to trace

(CHORUS 1)
Shouldn't do that, you shouldn't do that now baby
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you that you
Shouldn't do that, shouldn't go that now darling?
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you not to?

(VERSE 2)
Some things ain't worth the worry
When you fight for them hand over tooth
You've got one hell of a lesson coming
Cos I'm gonna teach you the truth

(CHORUS 2)
Shouldn't do that, you shouldn't do that now darling
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you that you
Shouldn't do that, shouldn't go that now baby?
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you not to do it?

(MIDDLE)
Shouldn't do that, shouldn't do that
Shouldn't do that, that, that, that, that, that
Shouldn't do that, shouldn't do that
Shouldn't do that, that, that, that, that

(VERSE 3)
There is a time for most things honey
Some things are easy to see
Some things are better forgotten
Like you sure made a fool out of me

(FINAL CHORUS)
Shouldn't do that, you shouldn't do that now baby
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you that you
Shouldn't do that, shouldn't go that now darling?
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you not to?
Shouldn't do that, you shouldn't do that now darling
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you that you
Shouldn't do that, shouldn't go that now baby?
Shouldn't do that, did nobody ever tell you not to?
(REPEAT TO FADE)

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
