I'll tell you what I've done
I'll tell you what I'll do
Been driving all night
Just to get close to you

Baby babe, I'm moving so fast
You'd better come on
The moon is alright
The freeway's heading south

My heart is going boom
There's a strange taste in my mouth
Baby babe, I'm moving real fast
So try to hold on
Try to hold on

Sleeping in my car, I will undress you
Sleeping in my car, I will caress you
Staying in the backseat of my car, making out

So come out tonight
I'll take you for a ride
This steamy ol' wagon
The radio is getting wild
Baby babe, we're moving so fast
I try to hang on
Oh, I try to hang on

Sleeping in my car, I will undress you
Sleeping in my car, I will caress you
Staying in the backseat of my car making love, oh yeah
Sleeping in my car, I will possess you
Sleeping in my car, certainly bless you
Laying in the backseat of my car, making out

The night is so pretty and so young
The night is so pretty and so young
So very young

Sleeping in my car, I will undress you
Sleeping in my car, I will caress you
Staying in the backseat of my car making love, to you
Sleeping in my car, I will possess you
Sleeping in my car, certainly bless you
Laying in the backseat of my car, making out, making out

Sleeping in my car, I will undress you
Sleeping in my car
The night is so pretty and so young, yeah

    This is another great song by Roxette, one of my favourites. I love to sing along to this lol

    Yeah, i think this song is talking about some sort of antics in the car lol so the "strange taste in my mouth" may be what your thinking

    Soul Haemorrage, Sorry to disappoint you, but Marie Fredriksson is not a lesbian. She is married with children. Cheers.

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."

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
