The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules

Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand
He said it's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side

Let it rock (let it rock) let it go (let it go)
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock (let it rock) let it go (let it go)
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock

(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)

We go down to the Broadway
Where everybody goes
To get on their rockin' horse
And blast that radio
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the king of swing
Before it's time to go

It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side

Let it rock (let it rock) let it go (let it go)
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock (let it rock) let it go (let it go)
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock (let it rock) let it go (let it go)
With the night you're on the loose
Let it rock

Let it rock
Let it rock (let it rock) let it go (let it go)
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock (let it rock) let it go (let it go)
With the night you're on the loose, everybody sing
Oh oh oh, yeah yeah '
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

    I love the beginning of the song. Apparently David was just playing around when he came up with this. This song rocks

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
