Oh no
Gone and put my foot in it again
Think back I can't believe that it was me who said that
Last time
I promised I'd bite my tongue until I counted to ten
(five six seven eight nine and ten)
I said oh it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh oh-oh oh oh

Oh it's getting hot in here
There must be something in the atmosphere
Oh I could be laughing about it
And making the most of the true British climate
Oh it's getting hot in here
There must be something in the atmosphere
Oh oh-oh oh oh

I've seen
The tension on the high street growing lately
It seems that you have to be careful who you look at
Sometimes
I can't see things the way you see them
But this is our home

I said
Oh it's getting hot in here
There must be something in the atmosphere
Oh I could be laughing about it
And making the most of the true British climate
Oh it's getting hot in here
There must be something in the atmosphere
Oh oh-oh oh oh

Yeah you got the style
And we've got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we've got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we've got the style
Oh oh

Oh it's getting hot in here
There must be something in the atmosphere
Oh I could be laughing about it
And making the most of the true British climate
Oh it's getting hot in here
There must be something in the atmosphere
Oh oh-oh oh oh

    oh i smiled as i heard that verse : "I promised I'd bite my tongue until I counted to ten"

    for me.. i bite my tongue if im right before doing something i'm scared of the results. pain makes you react faster ;)

    for me it's a lovesong.. does that seem a little strange ? :D

    it could be about him and his girlfirend... when she gets angry he makes jokes to minimize her temper ;) as i do with my sarcasm :D

    but he loves her for that face she makes, when she's angry. when she's angry it's better for him to say Nothing and to look at nothing "It seems that you have to be careful who you look at" i love it, it makes me smile and good moody

Jesse with the long hair....
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Show Me a Little Shame
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals
He certainly did earn that reputation.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.
