Hey girl, sweet thing
I want everything
You love me too
And I want you
Well I think I'm gonna
Jump right through your window

And I think I'm gonna
Jump into your life
Cause you got me in a bad situation

And I want you
Well the TV says that
Love is all around us
And the astronauts
Can feel it far away
But it's got me in a bad situation

And I want you
Yeah I think I'm gonna
Take a short vacation
And I think we're gonna
Have to start anew
Cause you got me in a bad situation

And I want you

    This song is sooooo beautiful. There's a version with the guitar solo as it was originally recorded (i.e., not backwards) and it's amazing how perfect it is, both forwards and backwards.

    Shocked, shocked there are no comments on this one yet.

    Love how he's in a bad situation but he wants more. Love makes you want everything you see.

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.
