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.
You've got your ball, you got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again
Who's got their claws in you, my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock, and sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost, for you
Oh, when you come
Crash into me
And I come into you
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
Oh, when you come
Crash into me
Yeah, baby, when I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me for my haste
When I'm holding you so, girl
Close to me
And you come
Crash into me, baby
And I come into you
Oh, hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
A boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
Wear nothing but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted
The way I like to be
For you, for me, come crash
Into me
Baby, come crash into me, yeah
Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, you know
I'm the king of the castle
You're my dirty rascal
Crash into me
Please crash into me, baby
We both know
See the wave, come crash into me
See the wave coming, crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, hey
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, yeah
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Tied to me tight, tie me up again
Who's got their claws in you, my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock, and sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost, for you
Oh, when you come
Crash into me
And I come into you
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
Oh, when you come
Crash into me
Yeah, baby, when I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me for my haste
When I'm holding you so, girl
Close to me
And you come
Crash into me, baby
And I come into you
Oh, hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
A boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
Wear nothing but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted
The way I like to be
For you, for me, come crash
Into me
Baby, come crash into me, yeah
Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, you know
I'm the king of the castle
You're my dirty rascal
Crash into me
Please crash into me, baby
We both know
See the wave, come crash into me
See the wave coming, crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, hey
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, yeah
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
ramthar, if you got nothing good to say, don't. There's no need to bash a band.
