You, you're hotter than a cherry on a cigarette
Bet every dollar mom's a model but you're better yet
Just twenty one out on the run and turning every head
Your body's built just like a weapon and you're using it

But the devil can hear you when you say

C'mon and get up (get up)
Move your body, use your body
Lose control
Rub it right up (back up)
Against my body
Take my body; make it yours (so get up)
We're gonna light this room on fire
Yeah you and I will burn it up tonight (so get up)
The two of us are gonna fuel this fire
No way in hell we're slowing down tonight

And just for fun we take your tongue and run it over my lip
You gotta love the way she does it for the hell of it
We're in positions that most people only say they know
You've got your hand right on a landmine ready to blow

But the devil can hear you when you say

C'mon and get up (get up)
Move your body, use your body
Lose control
Rub it right up (back up)
Against my body
Take my body; make it yours (so get up)
We're gonna light this room on fire
Yeah you and I will burn it up tonight (so get up)
The two of us are gonna fuel this fire
No way in hell we're slowing down tonight

You want me tapping on your back door
You've got me tapping on your back door, baby
I've got you acting like you want more
Now that I'm tapping on your back door, baby

But the devil can hear you when you say

C'mon and get up (get up)
Move your body, use your body
Lose control
Rub it right up (back up)
Against my body
Take my body; make it yours (so get up)
We're gonna light this room on fire
Yeah you and I will burn it up tonight (so get up)
The two of us are gonna fuel this fire
No way in hell we're slowing down tonight

    I can't tell if this song is about sex, dancing, dirty dancing, or a mix of all three.

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
