Stand here on the bridge with me
And look down below
See how high the river is
From all the melting snow

I think the river is laughing
Like a thousand old ladies
Like a thousand silver chimes in the wind

ah, when Spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive

frozen toes and tons of clothes
In winter time is done
People are like flowers
They blossom in the sun
Open up you flowers
Tell us when and we'll follow you
La la la

ah, when Spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive
So you open up
Your windows and doors
And the sun and the breeze
Streams across the floors
The river is rising
The birds are returning
The earth is promising
Love
(or something like that)
I don't know

talking with you on the road
I couldn't hear what you said
For there was honking in the heavens
Honking overhead
But you can't fool me
I know that cars don't fly
La la la

ah, when Spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive
And you feel so different inside
That you think that in winter
You must've been barely alive
The river is rising
The birds are returning
The earth is promising
Love
(or something like that)
I don't know

I think I would read my books
If they weren't upside down
And I wasn't on the window ledge
Dropping them on the ground
I think I'll get my bicycle out
Down the road I'll sway
La la la

ah, when Spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive
So you open up
Your windows and doors
And the sun and the breeze
Streams across the floors
The river is rising
The birds are returning
The earth is promising
Love
(or something like that)
I don't know

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.

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."
