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.
You're so sweet
You're so fine
I want you all and everything just to be mine
'Cause you're my babe
'Cause you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
You slide so good
With bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
Just like a car
You're pleasing to behold
I'll call you Jaguar if I may be so bold
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
The wild winds blow
Upon your frozen cheeks
The way you flip your hip it always makes me weak
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
Your motivation is so sweet
Your vibrations are burning up my feet
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
I said, girl I'm just a vampire for your love
And I'm going to suck you
You're so fine
I want you all and everything just to be mine
'Cause you're my babe
'Cause you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
You slide so good
With bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
Just like a car
You're pleasing to behold
I'll call you Jaguar if I may be so bold
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
The wild winds blow
Upon your frozen cheeks
The way you flip your hip it always makes me weak
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
Your motivation is so sweet
Your vibrations are burning up my feet
'Cause you're my babe
Yes, you're my love
Girl, I'm just a Jeepster for you love
I said, girl I'm just a vampire for your love
And I'm going to suck you

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Magical

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.
Its a metaphor, a Jeepster is a charming average guy, willing to go anywhere for the object of his affection--i.e. a "jaguar" (hot girl).
@FranknFurter : Precisely. She's got the sleek lines of a Jaguar, and he's nothing more than a dumpy little Jeepster...but he'll do anything for her, 'cause that's all he's got.<br /> <br /> Kinda like a glam-rock variation on Cole Porter's "You're the Top." Granted Porter's lyrics are also suffused with an idiosyncratic subtext. Some of them make this particular T.Rex song (by comparison) seem almost tame. But even though it's been a l-o-n-g time since 1934? Most folks still can't figure it what he was on about.
Dude, T-Rex is like the Howlin' Wolf of glam rock. xD
No one knows what a Jeepster is??!! Has anyone thought to Google it?
Bolan always had a thing for vehicles. Cadillacs, Mustangs, Jaguars, Jeepsters, etc. Metal Gurus, one and all. He even died in one!
he humbles himself for her... he calls her a jaguar and him a jeep.
I play guitar in a Hellbilly band.We do a raucous cover of Jeepster with a few slight variations. -Tractor- You're so sweat You're so fine I want you all and everything Just to be mine 'Cause you're my baby 'Cause you're my love Oh girl I'm just a Tractor For you love You slide so good With bones so fair You've got the universe Reclining in your hair Like my Tractor You're pleasing to behold I'll call you Ku-bo-ta If I may be so bold The wild winds blow Upon your frozen cheeks The way you flip your hip It always makes me weak Your motivation Is so sweet Your vibrations Are burning up my feet
Girl I'm just a Tractor For your love Girl I'm just a farmer For your love I'm gonna plow you
Hellbilly? A new one on me, but I love it! 4.5 ltr single cylinder, I hope - start it with a cigarette-butt rather than a 12 gauge cartridge
Anyone know what Jeepster means?
I suspect it refers to Sgt Bilko's Motor Pool - ie a contemporary version of the Light Brigade
@Zeratul A Jeepster was a phaeton (open touring car) created by Willys-Overland to tap the passenger car market
im not sure but its a sweet song i always thought it was a word he made up like so many others. marc bolan was a poetic genious. who agrees?
In response to Zeratul - It's just a part of the Bolanvocabulary. He made the word up and there's no definite description.
Great song.
@SophieSomething A Jeepster was a version of a jeep that they tried to turn into a sports can.
i always thought it meant vampire or something. throughout the song he keeps slurping lol and he says "im gonna suck you"
uhhh does that really deserve an exclamation mark I mean this guy was only in his 20's he also was a hell of a guitarist that didnt get the credit he deserved. But thats besides the point what I mean to say is that putting an exclamation mark after "he even died in one." is just wrong even though it was ironic since he was a huge car fanatic.
