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.
Bitch
High and mighty, she a diva
Put her on a ski lift she a skeezer
Chasing cheese faster than a chasing cheetah
You could be a lot of things but you should be satisfied you a bitch
Clap ass, work poll, thighs on swole
But you should be satisfied you a bitch
Not a slut, not a hoe, attitude outta control but you should be satisfied you a bitch
She might sass put a lame on blast
Got a lot of game, put the blame on her past
High class, whole lotta ass
All about her cash, you ain't even gotta ask
Might dash in and outta town for
My stash and she know I'm hung low
Took it to the top and we started from the ground floor
Real bitches stand up and tell me what you down for
Them other hoes green, so they so steamed
You're never gonna win playing for the wrong team
Every nigga wanna grab it but, but the bitch stay mean
And you can't call her ratchet cause the pussy stay clean
I lick my lips
She thick like grits
I'm all in cuz she flip my chips, to make me rich
I ain't saying that I lover her but I dig my bitch
Clap ass, work poll, thighs on swole
But you should be satisfied you a bitch
Yeah, Yeah
Not a slut, not a hoe, attitude outta control but you should be satisfied you a bitch
Ms sadity, flow through the city
Got a pretty face but her attitude shitty
Brand new titties & shots in her ass
Only thing she ain't shop for was the class
Talk fast ain't never say nothing
Work hard that clock she punching
That job I swear she suck at
Like a bus pass, fucked up mustache
You should bleach that, where you peeps at
Who the fuck let you let you on the street like that
You Mustang bucking like a Bronco
Body like a Benz with brain like a Pinto
I'm the shit tho, here's the info
We can make a quick call to your kinfolk
You can choose up, I mean move up
Think fast hoe, you don't wanna lose us
Bitch
Clap ass, work poll, thighs on swole
But you should be satisfied you a bitch
Not a slut, not a hoe, attitude outta control but you should be satisfied you a bitch
All up in the middle, Massengill
I be in the party, looking for ass to kill
Shrek cause I'm always wit the donkey booty
They drink candy, housewife beauty
Elastic in the panties don't stand a chance
Bootylicious, I get an appetite every time she dance
Drop it and roll it like a bowling ball
Strike
Beat it like a bat what they call that
Strike
What you think about a little menage a toise, blazee, qwuaze
Blow up like a Maserati on the Vegas strip
She's your lady, but she's ma bitch
And I'm that dude, but my name ain't Devin
I be all on Youtube like I'm news at eleven
B O X say ma name
Like Kelly, Michelle & Beyonce sing
You could be ma bitch
Clap ass, work poll, thighs on swole
But you should be satisfied you a bitch
Not a slut, not a hoe, attitude outta control but you should be satisfied you a bitch
High and mighty, high and mighty, she think she a diva
High and mighty, she a diva
Put her on a ski lift she a skeezer
Chasing cheese faster than a chasing cheetah
You could be a lot of things but you should be satisfied you a bitch
High and mighty, she a diva
Put her on a ski lift she a skeezer
Chasing cheese faster than a chasing cheetah
You could be a lot of things but you should be satisfied you a bitch

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
American Town

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Dessa's verse deserves a place in the 'top 10 verses a majority of the music-listening population will never hear.' i pretty much think that any time this song comes up when the mp3 player is running on random.
