I'm about to go cheesy
I don't give a shit
Cause every word I spit, well I mean it
I've got a long nose that pulls my pack
but still I know you're feeling it

Who me, your love? Don't talk
Cause I make you better by showing you
How much love I got for you
No, Don't, you need it
flicks like a tracker
wanna do things proper

Okey-dokey,
remember when you used to tell me no
Now you're telling me you don't wanna move slow

It's a mutual feeling
Good the feelings that I'm feeling are
making me look to the ceiling
leaving me dreaming
all my painful luck I was teething

I'll be your smurfette
your little darling, all dressed in blue
We can run the circle or shit 'til it hurt
Just me and you
pillow fight, pillow talk
I'll touch you in your sleep
Well, still I might
Now of course, I walk right in your dreams

I know who you are
And I know you're far
But you're close to my heart
So let me serenade you with my bars
But still I care
I'm here, you're there
So when I shout it sounds like whispers (whispers)

I know who you are
And I know you're far
But you're close to my heart
So let me serenade you with these bars
But still I care
I'm here, you're there
So when I shout it sounds like whispers (whispers)

(Dial tone)
"Come on, answer your phone, man."
"You never answer it."
"How do I get to speak to you anymore?"
(The person you called is not available.)
"I don't know, first malkin."
(Please leave your message after the tone.)

You ain't making this easy
You're taking a piss
That's about eight phone calls
of mine that you've missed
By tomorrow, it'll be twenty-six
Maybe I should stop, I feel like a div

I know what this is, this is stupid
I swear, I wanna beat up cupid
There's my heart in bits, that's what you did
Now I've gotta start a new team

Let's start again
Let's start and spend something I don't wanna do
Boo-hoo, my tears fall for you
I think, someone else, I wasn't being cruel to you

"Yeah, well, I'm gonna be that cheeky bitch (I don't know)."
"But now I'm in bits."
"You know how I feel, you know what it is."

I know who you are
And I know you're far
But you're close to my heart
So let me serenade you with my bars
But still I care
I'm here, you're there
So when I shout it sounds like whispers (whispers)

I know who you are
And I know you're far
But you're close to my heart
So let me serenade you with these bars
But still I care
I'm here, you're there
So when I shout it sounds like whispers (whispers)

Whispers (whispers)
Whispers (whispers)
Whispers (whispers)
Whispers (whispers)
Whispers (whispers)

I walk right in your dreams

Whispers (whispers)

I know who you are
And I know you're far
But you're close to my heart
So let me serenade you with my bars
But still I care
I'm here, you're there
So when I shout it sounds like whispers (whispers)

I know who you are
And I know you're far
But you're close to my heart
So let me serenade you with these bars
But still I care
I'm here, you're there
So when I shout it sounds like whispers (whispers)

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”

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."

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/
