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.
Standing with your boys on the corner
I see them look at me walking by
But they don't understand how I'm feeling
'cause boy you are the apple of my eye
1 I never thought no never
That I'd find someone to love me like you do
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Baby there ain't no need for you to worry
'cause you can turn your back on me
You know that I'll still be waitin'
Right under the sycamore tree
2 - You're all I see, you're all I see
I won't let nobody ever come between you and me
See, you're all I see
Every time they step to me
I don't pay them any mind
It's all about you and me
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
As clear as the sea
Blow around tropical breeze
I see only we seven seas seven stars
Cooling at the park down in Nassau
Just think, you and me, love
Say it's all, move your lips slow
come close to my ear
It's here my dear where your fears come clear
There's little time left to escape and make best
All I see is three to complete
Making sweet sugar, honey, all I see
All we need, the true life is when we can just be
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Repeat 1 until fade
I see them look at me walking by
But they don't understand how I'm feeling
'cause boy you are the apple of my eye
1 I never thought no never
That I'd find someone to love me like you do
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Baby there ain't no need for you to worry
'cause you can turn your back on me
You know that I'll still be waitin'
Right under the sycamore tree
2 - You're all I see, you're all I see
I won't let nobody ever come between you and me
See, you're all I see
Every time they step to me
I don't pay them any mind
It's all about you and me
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
As clear as the sea
Blow around tropical breeze
I see only we seven seas seven stars
Cooling at the park down in Nassau
Just think, you and me, love
Say it's all, move your lips slow
come close to my ear
It's here my dear where your fears come clear
There's little time left to escape and make best
All I see is three to complete
Making sweet sugar, honey, all I see
All we need, the true life is when we can just be
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Repeat 1 until fade

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."
