Sparks Will Fly

The Rolling Stones

You'd better grease up
I'm coming back
Gonna catch fire
Pyromaniac
You'd better shape up
You'd better get set
Gonna burn up
In the smoke of a jet

Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you baby
Ooh, you're gonna find out
Oh, gonna scream and shout
We're gonna pierce through this drought
Sparks will fly, yeah, sparks will fly

I'm gonna stand back
The flames are high
I better get help
Can't stop the fire
Bell's going to ring
Hear the alarms
Better tell the fire chief
To quit playing cards

Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Ooh, I'm gonna step on the gas
I want to get there really fast
Ooh, I wanna fuck your sweet ass
Sparks will fly
Sharks will cry
Sparks will fly

I had a good sniff around
Along old hunting grounds
But I have never found
A woman so hot

Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you, baby
Ooh, my fingers are crossed
The time that we lost
I'm in total chaos
And sparks will fly
Sparks will fly
Oh yeah
Sparks will fly
Sparks will fly, yeah
Sparks will fly (back on you, baby)
Sparks will fly (sparks will fly)
Come on, come on (sparks will fly)
Come on, come on, come on, come on (sparks will fly)
Oh yeah, sparks will fly, oh yeah

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
