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.
Right about now
In the place to be
Too short bay-bee
Gettin' real funky
With the mother fuckin'
Dangerous crew bitch
With that old school
Too short baby
I'm so hard
Pimpin' these hoes
On the boulevard
But im not here
To tell you about me
I got a little story about a nasty freak
She's the kind of girl you think about in bed
Blow job Betty given real good head
Bust a left nut, right nut in her jaw
Sperm on her cheeks
Is all bizzare
She could blow more head
Than a whale blows water
Blow job Betty make ya dick get harder
Shes a one of a kind
One hell of a girl
A trip and a half
Around the world
Catcha gettin busy girl she wouldnt stop
She's the kinda girl that make your toes pop
Everytime i used to see her
I would know whats up
Blow job betty better blow me up
I remember the day when i first met her
Bitch kinda looked so I knew i'd get her
Walked up to and said my name was short
Just what you've been lookin for
Pimp is my game
I do it the best
Ho fuck with me she aint get no rest
Well after that
I Ged the freak
I used to stop by and fuck about twice a week
From the very first time i went to her house
Walked in her house and stuck my dick in her mouth
Short dogg will get bitches anytime i wanna 'em
Gotta big dick then lay it right on'er tonsils
Only stick it in about half way back
Because if i put it all in it bust straight through her neck
Niggers always sayin how they fucked that bitch
But im the only nigger that the bitch made rich
Like any other tramp
She loved to fuck
When any other motha fucka got somethin' to suck
Spit game to the bitch
Just like this
Why you runnin round suckin all that dick for no money?
It didnt take long to stay true to the game
And get my pimpin on
But every once and awhile
You get a stupid ho
Bitch aint about money and she never know how to get it
Blow Job Betty was dumb
A pheen for a fuck and a mouth full of cum
She made money for a minute
But she loved the sex
So i cut the bitch loose like'a old skool vet
Six months later
I'm still a pimp
I'm still a player
One night at a club
She was puttin in work
All you had to do was step up to her
She was in the bathroom
Saying one at a time
She wasnt my bitch but she still was fine
So i went in the bathroom seen the bitch
Slapped on the headset ya ready to switch
And to the players out there instantly
Blow Job Betty started servin' me
Cuz the player i am till the day im dead
I was sitting on the sink, gettin some head
It was all so good and much too true
One young freak and a whole damn crew
But then i shot that fatal nut
And i knocked that bitch on her butt
She couldnt even breathe she was holdin her throat
Me and my homies just hit the door
My home boy said short dont worry
But that next day i read this story
A young girl died just last night
She choked on sperm in her windpipe
It was on her face, her neck and chest
And we're sorry to say there's no suspect
When i sought back my brain clicked
I bust a nut and killeda bitch
It might sound sick it might be quick
But you never got sucked by blow job betty
In the place to be
Too short bay-bee
Gettin' real funky
With the mother fuckin'
Dangerous crew bitch
With that old school
Too short baby
I'm so hard
Pimpin' these hoes

But im not here

Fast Car
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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
