Flashlights in songs

Hey there,

Do you know any songs that mention flashlights?

Here are some lines from two songs by Neil Young:

From "Look out for my love":

Men with walkie-talkies
Men with flashlights wavin'
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight savings.

---------------------------------------

From "Leave the driving":

"Driver's license and registration,"
Said the officer with his flashlight
Search around the floor, look hard
Smellin' like something ain't right

Jed's life flashed before him
Like a black and white old super-8
He heard the sound of the future
On a scratchy old 78

Nothing was still, all was moving
When the flashlight found the gun
Then Jed pulled the trigger
In a split-second tragic blunder

---------------------------------------

How about "Flashlight" by Parliament ?

FTW!

He said son hold it still
Keep that beam shining straight
He’d have a 9/16ths in one hand
Working on that Chevrolet
It seemed like every Saturday
Soon as the sun went down
We’d be huddled underneath that hood
Tinkering around
And of all of the great memories I’ve had
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad

He’ll never how much he taught me
Out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck
Was more about life than fixing cars
Cause to this day I still can’t make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight

He told me a lot of stories
About Grandpa and the war
While he was trying to show me
What a carburator’s for
I learned a couple cuss words
When he skinned his knuckles up
And I found out Momma was the only girl
He ever really loved
Then I asked him about women, he just laughed
Said if we stayed out here all year
We wouldn’t have time enough for that

He’ll never how much he taught me
Out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck
Was more about life than fixing cars
Cause to this day I still can’t make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight

And to this day I still can’t make them run right
But deep inside I know that it’s alright
Cause I sure
Just holding the flashlight

Flashlight (The Cullen Song) Lyrics - Eleventyseven

I’ve got a diabolical plan this Halloween
One that’s sure to increase my popularity
Didn’t get invited to the costume party Friday night
But I won’t stand here sulking in the twilight

I’ll show up to the party as Edward Cullen
the guys will be jealous but the girls will love it
Running so fast that it’s never a race
Spreading lots of glitter all over my face
I’ll show up to the party as Edward Cullen

Not receiving invitations never stopped me before
I will show up knocking on their front door
Vampire teeth completes my costume, almost done
I bet Edward shops Forever 21

I’ll show up to the party as Edward Cullen
the guys will be jealous but the girls will love it
Running so fast that it’s never a race
Spreading lots of glitter all over my face
I’ll show up to the party as Edward Cullen

whining

Drivin’ this Benz like I got no license
Bitin’ on necks like they’re made of spices
Suckin’ on blood cause it tastes like honey
Climbin’ up trees with my spider monkey
Playin’ baseball, swing a bat like lightnin’
Gotta save Bella with some vampire fightin’
Playin’ hooky from class cause I gotta go feed
Rippin’ up roots askin’ “What do we eat?”

I’ll show up to the party as Edward Cullen
the guys will be jealous but the girls will love it
Running so fast that it’s never a race
Spreading lots of glitter all over my face
I’ll show up to the party as Edward Cullen

Syd tha Kyd – Flashlight Lyrics

My heart, it’s with you now
But do you know how to love me?
Your heart it beats for me
I’m the only thing you’ve got to hold onto
My mind tells me to let you go
But my heart said no

(Syd & Lux)
My mind tells me that this is wrong
But your love’s too strong
And now I’m caught in the middle
You took away my flashlight
Now I’m walking in the dark
Thinking why’d I even stop to think
That this could be love
Is it too late to turn back now?
Now that I’ve given you my heart
Before this whole thing falls apart
But could this be love?
Could this be love?
Could this be love?
Could this be love?

(Syd)
I’m no longer safe when you look my way
You’ve become my everything
Is this a mistake?
(Lux)
Baby, when you put put that thing on me
I just can’t explain
This is a mistake

(Syd)
And I hate to be selfish, baby
But what about me?
If you leave you take it all

(Lux)
You know I wouldn’t leave you, baby
So say you’ll be mine
Maybe together we’ll find
The words that describe love
If what we both feel inside is love

(Syd & Lux)
You took away my flashlight
Now I’m walking in the dark
Thinking why’d I even stop
To think that this could be love
Is it too late to turn back?
Now that I’ve given you my heart
Before this whole thing falls apart
But could this be love, love?
Could this be love?
Could this be love, love?
Could this be love? Love, yeah

Reaching out, for my own salvation
Don’t look back, leave yesterday behind
I took a chance on you need to feel protection
I’m stronger now, and you’re the reason why

Album: How It Goes

Like a flashlight on but lost, my energy’s there but wasted. you talk a lot a lot about nothing. you go on and on and I hear you talk a lot about nothing. it goes on and one. you’re a really easy act to follow. once we jump in we’re all gone. like a flashlight on but lost, my energy’s there but wasted. I’m sitting down, I’m sitting down. for what? for nothing (it’s gotta be our way). so I’m getting up, standing up and leaving nothing (gotta be our way). I’ve never seen someone’s emotions break it all I’m on my way out, I’m on my way out. too much too late, you haven’t thought but you speak loud. you’re on your way out. you’re a really easy act to follow. once we jump in we’rea ll gone. it’s gotta be our way. like a flashlight on but lost, my energy’s there but wasted

Song Lyrics » G » George Clinton Lyrics » Flashlight (the Groovemasters’ Mix) Lyrics

Oooww! I lay me down to sleep!
Said ohhh I just can’t find the beat!
Everybody say flashlight!
Aaaahhhh yeah!
Flashlight!
Everybody’s got a little light!
Flashlight!
Everybody say flashlight!

[Vocal breakdown]

There’s no use, oh won’t you tell her go with me!
Say flashlight! Red light! Yeah!
Most of all need to find the funk
Said help me find the funk
Most of all, need to find it
Help them find it

Aaahhhh! Hey hey!!!
Everybody’s got a little light!
Under the sun!
I gotta help em
Help em find the funk
Most off all, help em

Aahhhhhh!
Mooove your sexy body
Shine your flashlight
Get your rump out on the floor
Mooove your sexy body
Shine your flashlight
Get your rump out on the floor

[Q-Tip]
You got to shine the light because things ain’t right
Funk signs up, makes for a good night
Kid let me tell you bout your fate
As the mothership connects in CC, Chocolate City
Got kids under pressure with the Bop Gun boppin
We non-stoppin, the whole joint cold rockin
Everybody up, we put it down for uncle jam
An allstar client plus the number one fan
Hold the Parliment funk so come and bump your rump
It’s all for a good cause, eliminatin applause

[Busta Rhymes]
Eliminatin applause, eliminatin applause
Yo, come on baby let me suck your soul
And lick your funky emotion you know we on a roll
All glow as my people full of sorrow, tomorrow
You free your mind, your ass’ll follow
Busta Rhymes come on complete, representin
Stay shittin on funk beats with George Clinton
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net }
Before we flip you really need to take a trip
On the fully equipped all expenses paid mothership

[Ol’ Dirty Bastard]
This recordin is dirty and stinkin
Funky is the type of ?lepew? I’m thinkin
About, droppin this single on the charts
Lettin you know that the kid has heart
I never denied myself as bein dope
When a nigga slept on my jam
Nigga caught the notes
Hey sugar plum, hi, can you assume
Bitch that the volume never has tune
I’m not your everyday regular rap star
(….?….)
Beware of the hardware, please the hard way

[P-Funk]
(….?….) mayday
Not H-O-G day, payday
Palladium day
Stagin the L-I-G-H-T day
And can you feel it? Boo yah!
Oh you’re fryin
Like he done take two hits a niacin
Kinda like a chemical (…?..)
Hot damn, holy smokes, what up
So we havin a huge discussion
And pretty soon, spontaneous combustion
We on the map, well you can just sit around
Or funk burn, you got to burn
Di du joogedy di di dince dice
Dum dum, dingbat damn, I say man
Let’s try it again, show your friend
Is it true (.?.) naw, is it two eyes and hips?
Well how the hell we gon get out this shit?
And then the shit get lit

[Repeat these phrases till fade]
Most of all, help them find the funk
Help them find the funk
Help them find the funk, the funk, the funk
Everybody’s got a little
Everybody’s got a little light
Everybody’s got a little light
Help them find the funk!
Flashlight! Flashlight!
Everybody’s got a little
Flashlight!

Ain’t Googe a wonderful Thang!
