She's so fine, how about a nine on a ten scale
With long legs straight on up to her lunch pail
Sweet little wishbone, oh yeah
Don't wanna break her in half
Lick up one side and down the other
Always makes her laugh

She take me down, down, down to the bottom
I got everything you wanted
Give you everything you need
Still you want that sugar daddy over me

She want a sucker, sucker in a three piece
A sucker all dressed up in a three piece suit

I'm on fire with just one look
Got me a brand new number
In my little black book
But she don't like the way I dress
She don't like the way I wear my hair
But when I roll you over baby, you don't care

Just take me down, down, down, down to the bottom
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
You don't want that sugar daddy, not over me

She want a sucker (sucker) uh sucker in a three piece
(Sucker) sucker all dressed up in a three piece suit

Oh say it isn't so, baby
You wanna sucker
He's just a sucker
He's just a sucker
Look at all that money, baby
Ya know your sugar daddy
You're a sugar mama
You're both a bunch of suckers

Oh how he got a big ole belly
A stone bald head (sucker)
Now, listen here, honey
That ain't down your alley, no

He's just a (sucker) sucker in a three piece
Sucker (sucker) in a three piece suit
S-s-sucker
Stone cold, sugar daddy
Sucker, sucker all dressed up in a three piece suit

I said, go ahead and suck it all up
Right down to the last drop

    Kind of surprised that there aren't any comments on this in 2022. I consider it to be one of Van Halen's greatest. I love the guitar riff on the "Oh, say it isn't so baby" part.

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."

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
