You're nocturnal, only come out at night
And I'm learning all the ways you wanna ride
'Cause you're on the roam but not until the darkness arrives
And I'm certain, I'll catch up to you one of these times baby, oh

Can I get my hands on you tonight? (I must be feeling something)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride (I wonder if you see me coming)
Can I get my hands on you tonight? (Tonight has got me running)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride (Right into your nitetime world, 'coz I'm a)

Nite runner - I think I'm falling for you
Nite runner - your spell has put me under
Nite runner - what you're gonna do with it now ?
Nite runner, nite ah nite runner

Night scatters, when you walk into the room
On the shadow I can feel the heat in you
Should I be surprised ? I see the possiblity moving right across to me
It all matters, when I'm getting close to you hey yeah, oh oh

Can I get my hands on you tonight? (I must be feeling something)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride (I wonder if you see me coming)
Can I get my hands on you tonight? (Tonight has got me running)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride (Right into your nitetime world, 'coz I'm a)

Nite runner - I think I'm falling for you
Nite runner - you gotta spell that put me under
Nite runner - what you're gonna do with it now ?
Nite runner, nite ah nite runner

Love it's haunting
she wanted to go, she told me
Love it's haunting
she wanted to go, I can't-can't

Nite runner - I think I'm falling for you
Nite runner - you gotta spell that put me under
Nite runner - what you're gonna do with it now ?
Nite runner, nite ah nite runner

    Kind of a sexy song, though it sounds very much like a Daft Punk song.

    I don't know, it didn't really have much of a Duran Duran feel. Though it is catchy, in that mainstream sort of way.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
