Little City

Jon Bon Jovi

I got my call light on
Gimme one more fare tonight
Just get me over the bridge
I can see those shiny bay lights
You know I’m never alone
But I’m feeling lonely tonight
Damn, I got my last cigarette
But I aint got no light

God let these wheels roll
To where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode
And life is still living
Down this open road
The arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city

In my rear view mirror
I see someone else’s hairline
I hear that fire in your eyes
Is on the rock and doing hard time
And the grapes of wrath, they’re on the vine
There’s wine in this dirt
Here love aint love
It’s just another four letter word

God let these wheels roll
To where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode
And life is still living
Down this open road
The arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city

God let these wheels roll
To where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode
And life is still living
Down this open road
The arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city

Now that cold gray fog’s
Just a rolling down the highway
He’s come to carry me home
It puts a little smile on my face

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
