You're all legs
I'm all nerves
Black, black pearl
Horse-hair whip
My own heels
Heal my hurt
Grease the wheel
Feel your floor

Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon

No kisses, no real need
No kisses, no real needs

Who here
Hear your word
Ring, ring phone
Send you home
Find my heels
Heal my hurt
White, white shirt
Back to work

Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon

Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon

    In my opinion, this is pretty clearly about a man visiting a domme named Chloe.

    "You’re all legs I'm all nerves black lacquered horse hair whip" -- pretty straightforward so far.

    "By your heels" -- Domme's commonly wear heels and this may also be alluding to a foot worship/fetish.

    "heal my hurt" -- Perhaps this means the man is looking for some sort of redemption from his pain by accepting pain upon himself?

    "horse hair whip" -- again, straightforward reference

    "be your floor" -- In other words, "I'll be your floor". Expressing his willingness to be subjugated/humiliated by the domme.

    "No kisses no real names no kisses no real names" -- Didn't Julia Roberts say "no kissing" in Pretty Woman? Anyway, it is my impression that when you visit a domme, there is typically no kissing. Kinda makes sense that there's no real names either.

    "Who will hear hear your word" -- I suppose that this is part of the game-play: "you can scream, but nobody is going to help you."

    "ring ring phone send you home" -- His phone rings. The real world wants him back.

    "Find my heels" -- Not sure. Could either mean she had him dressed up as a woman. Could mean she had one last task for him that involved her heels. Or it could be a surprise ending to all this in that this is a woman receiving services instead of a man (and she is collecting her own heels to go back to work).

    "heal my hurt" -- same reference as before.

    "white, white shirt back to work" -- On a surface level, this is just putting back on his/her work shirt. But also it is white as a symbol of purity faux purity that this person wants to portray to the rest of the world (as opposed to the black that he/she and the domme were likely both wearing in their session).

    At least that's the best I can make of it. :)

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.

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/
