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.
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
Hey, girl, you not very nice
You don't even know how to tie your own shoe-es
I said to you, "How to tie a shoe?"
You said you didn't know so you wear the velcro
I gave you fifty cents to go to the store
You supposed to spend twenty but you spend more
Said give me five, but you only gave me four
Because you said your thumb got chopp-ed in four
No it did not, you lie about everything!
Don't think I don't know about the sandwich
You made me say "Daimitt!" because you took it to Kansas
You said you ate it, but you're doing me damage!
Now it's off to sell a fifty foot spandage
Because I'm stressed off by your lady bandit
You look like a mikrowave yes I think so
And I don't want you to break my window!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
Hey, lady! You're not very neat
You come in my appartment you don't washing your feet
You run into cans when you go on the stritt
And you told me that you one time did a math test
If you want to saix me you have to be goode at math
You're nott goode at math and you say "Look at that!"
A little kaid kicked you and I don't give a crap
Forcing with the president to cry and laugh
What if I did and my chicken had gas?
You kicked his face from here to Arkansas
Forgetting all my haim and you ruined my slice
New pair of sandals dropped to the trash!
You not dispute this football joke
Because you grabb-ed baseball and forgot to throw
Tried to make my little brother not to grow
And I don't want you to break my window!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
And now... shladies expose your crowtche...
For the king of Africa, Danny Advantage
You need a girl that epitomize peace no peas
Not iminitize tees to the size of trees
Sells with her bad trees inbetween my knees
She H-E-A-D (Swallows, ladies)
And tastes my pralines
Who fears I don't scream (Hope I scream)
My regime in between it's where it's clean, it's less mean
If you's first it's clean
If you swing, let's see rehearsing
Girls bring first and they're clean so
Bad girls so divine hide behind the line
The woman tries mine while I improvise
So why? You can visualize something nice
Slide fly by nightride at night to see you laying in the sky
No (no!) No (no!)
Besides, you have been with too many guys
No (no!) No... Bad girl!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
Hey, girl, you not very nice
You don't even know how to tie your own shoe-es

Fast Car

Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
these are so fucking wrong. be very ashamed mr poster
