You know we don't care at all
Let, let me see you up, up against the wall
Alright
Two-step

I was just doin' my thing
Hanging out at the spot
You know the place we go
The music's John Blaze hot
And everybody was feeling the DJ (the DJ)
Smoke cleared and I saw a beautiful lady

The lights went low
And the disco ball came down
She walked up to me slow
And you know what happens now
The girl was fine and she knew she had game
What more do I have to say?

She took my hand
We never said a word at all
We started grindin'
Shawty had me up against the wall
Ask me about tomorrow
You know that I don't care at all
I just got caught up
When she had me up against the wall

You know we don't care at all
Just get caught up when you're up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all
Let, let me see you up, up against the wall

It's almost two o'clock
It's time to make my move
The after hours spot
Is where I'm going to
'Cause I gotta have some more
Lookin' for somebody to hit the dance floor
And lucky for me, I see
A fine young lady's eying me

The lights are low
And our friends were all around
I walked up to her slow
And you know what happens now
She turned around
And she worked in the worst way (the worst way)
What more, do I have to say?

She took my hand
We never said a word at all
We started grindin'
Shawty had me up against the wall
Ask me about tomorrow
You know that I don't care at all
I just got caught up
When she had me up against the wall
Shawty had me up against the wall

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the cutest one you saw?
She's underneath the disco ball
The disco ball, the disco ball
Standing next to strobe lights
Dancin' hot, looking tight
The freak show do come out at night
Out at night, night, night, night

What more do I have to say? (Two-step)
She took my hand
We never said a word at all
We starting grindin'
Shawty had me up against the wall
Ask me about tomorrow
You know that I don't care at all
I just got caught up when
She had me up against the wall (ooh,yeah)

She took my hand
We never said a word at all
We started grindin'
Shawty had me up against the wall
Ask me about tomorrow
You know that I don't care at all
I just got caught up
(At all) when she had me up against the wall

I just got caught up when you had me up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all
You just get caught up when you're up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all
Let, let me see you up, up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all
You just get caught up when you're up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all
Let, let me see you up, up against the wall

    Some of you people are quite ridiculous. Just because the song isn't what YOU think it should be about doesn't mean that they wrote it just for money. What kind of shitty music do you like? They wrote a fun, upbeat song. Not all of there songs ace to be a fucking love ballad. Get over it. Jesus.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
