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.
Like a snowball rolling down the side of a snow covered hill, it's growing
Like the size of a fish that the man claims broke his reel, it's growing
Like a rosebud blooming in the warm of the summer sun, it's growing
Like the tale by the time it's been told by more than one, woo, it's growing
Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and grows
And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows
(Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows)
How it grows, and it grows, and it grows
(Nobody knows) woo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nobody knows, it grows, it grows, where is it gonna stop)
Woo, like a need in a guy to see his girl
When she's gone away, it's growing
Like the sadness in his little heart
When he knows that she's gone to stay, woo, it growing
Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and it grows
And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows
(Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows) it gets a little wider
(Nobody knows) oh, it gets a little stronger
(Hey, hey, hey) the feeling for each kiss, baby
(Hey, hey, hey) oh, it lasts a little longer, yeah
(Hey, hey, hey) oh, so much oh, so much
Can't you see it's growing, baby
It grows, and it grows, and it grows, and it grows
Like the size of a fish that the man claims broke his reel, it's growing
Like a rosebud blooming in the warm of the summer sun, it's growing
Like the tale by the time it's been told by more than one, woo, it's growing
Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and grows
And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows
(Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows)
How it grows, and it grows, and it grows
(Nobody knows) woo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nobody knows, it grows, it grows, where is it gonna stop)
Woo, like a need in a guy to see his girl
When she's gone away, it's growing
Like the sadness in his little heart
When he knows that she's gone to stay, woo, it growing
Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and it grows
And where it's gonna stop I'm sure, nobody knows
(Hey, hey, hey, nobody knows) it gets a little wider
(Nobody knows) oh, it gets a little stronger
(Hey, hey, hey) the feeling for each kiss, baby
(Hey, hey, hey) oh, it lasts a little longer, yeah
(Hey, hey, hey) oh, so much oh, so much
Can't you see it's growing, baby
It grows, and it grows, and it grows, and it grows

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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
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.
Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In the chorus the words "and shrivel" are actually "I'm sure"
So it should read
"And where it's gonna stop I'm sure Nobody knows"
