The Devil

Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

Fucking around at The Mohawk
Who needs you?
Backing into the swamp
Someone's late

I wanna mess you up
I wanna steal your head
And take you home with me

You ain't afraid of the devil
But he don't care
I've got to get home
Someone's waiting there

I wanna mess you up
I wanna steal your head
And take you home with me
Take you home with me

But I've done wrong
I've done wrong
I've done wrong
I've done wrong

You ain't impressed with the woman
Who cleans your feet
But I've have seen your toes
And they have haunted me

I wanna mess you up
I wanna steal your head
And take you home with me
Take you home with me

But I've done wrong
I've done wrong
I've done wrong
I've done wrong

I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil, oh no

Back in the basement
Back in the basement
Back in the basement
Your father don't want us to be alone
'Cause he knows I'm bad
Bad, yeah, but your daughter loves me
And she's coming back
Please, I'm down on my rusted knee
Come back home
I'm sick
Quick, make me the president of your club, kid!
Please, I'm down on my rusted knee
Come back home

I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil, oh no
And I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil, oh no

(I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil
I ain't afraid of the devil)

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
