I'll fight...
If you want me to fight
I'll laugh..
If you want me to laugh
and cancel out the sun..
I will.. I will.. I will

Cause all you need is a pretty song..

If you wanna sing
Tell me what you wanta sing
and I'll play..
Yea, I'll play
Speed it up or slow it down
and if you want we'll change the sound
Yea, we'll play..
Yea, we'll play..
Anything that you want
All we want from you
Is a word or two..

and even though
We dont show
We cast our nets like missionaries
If we sell out.. Oh well..
Our only fan will be changing costumes..
And you'll see its much the same
So sing a song
And for applause.. We'll get up, get up

If you wanna sing
Tell me what you wanta sing
and I'll play..
Yea, I'll play
Speed it up or slow it down
and if you want we'll change the sound
Yea, we'll play..
Yea, we'll play..
Anything that you want
All we want from you
Is a word or two..

Yea well do anything as you want
So please dont go and break our hearts
Yea Yea Yea Yea
Uh Uh Uh Uh

All fight.. if you want me to fight..

    i really like the beginning of it though... the rest of it seems like it's for/about the fans (or lack thereof?), but the first stanza makes it seem like a love song, almost... anyways, regardless, i really like this song... it has energy, a great melody... ah, i love it! also, my dad thinks they sound a lot like the early beatles here, does anyone agree?

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.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
