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.
Run the track
Me, I'm supa fly, supa dupa fly
Supa dupa fly (I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)
Supa dupa fly, supa dupa fly (I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)
Supa dupa fly, supa dupa fly (I, I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)
When the rain hits my window
I take a-, me some indo
Me and Timbaland, ooh, we sang a jangle
We so tight, that you get our styles tangled
Sway on dosie-do like you loco
Can we get kinky tonight?
Like Coko, so-so
You wanna play with my yo-yo (uh-huh)
I smoke my hydro on the d-low (d-d-d-d-d-low)
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Yeah
Beep beep, who got the keys to the Jeep? Vroom
I'm driving to the beach
Top down, loud sounds, see my peeps
Give them pounds, now look who it be (who it be?)
It be me, me, me and Timothy
Look like it's 'bout to rain, what a shame
I got the Armor-All to shine up the 'Stang
Oh, Missy, try to maintain
Flicky-flicky-flicky-flicky-flicky-flicky
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
I feel the wind
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten (nine, ten)
Begin, I sit on hills like Lauryn
Until the rain starts, coming down, pouring
Chill, I got my umbrella
My finger waves be dazed, they fall like Humpty
Chumpy, I break up with him before he dump me (dump me)
To have me, yes, you lucky (yes, you lucky)
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
Me, I'm supa fly, supa dupa fly
Supa dupa fly (I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)
Supa dupa fly, supa dupa fly (I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)
Supa dupa fly, supa dupa fly (I, I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
Beep Beep, Who Got Tha Keys to my Jeep, VROOOM!
