Rebel Yell
Rebel Yell: Love's License in the Midnight Hour
Lyrics
Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night, a dancer visited my door.
Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
Last night, an angel crossed my floor.
She said "Come on baby I got a license for love
She invites with a claim of having a license for love.
And if it expires pray help from above"
Expressing a need for divine help if the love license expires.
In the midnight hour she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour, she yearns for more.
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
With a rebellious yell, she intensifies the desire for more.
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
Repeating the desire for more in the midnight hour.
With a rebel yell more, more, more
With a rebel yell, emphasizing the craving for more.
More, more, more
Repetition to emphasize the intensity of desire.
She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
She opposes oppression and refuses to be subservient.
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
When feeling weary and alone, she comforts and takes care of the speaker.
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
Questioning what liberated and brought the speaker into existence.
What set you free I need you hear by me
Expressing a need for the person's presence for freedom.
Because
Transition to chorus, connecting the verses.
In the midnight hour she cried more, more, more
Reiteration of the desire for more in the midnight hour.
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
With a rebellious yell, intensifying the call for more.
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
Repetition of the desire for more in the midnight hour.
With a rebel yell more, more, more
With a rebel yell, reemphasizing the strong desire for more.
He lives in his own heaven
Describing someone who lives in their own heavenly world.
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Collects items from a convenience store, depicting a carefree lifestyle.
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Stays out all night to earn money, as long as it doesn't affect appearance.
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining a perfect hairstyle.
I walked the ward with you, babe
Walked through life's challenges with a companion.
A thousand miles with you
Symbolic journey of a thousand miles with the companion.
I dried your tears of pain, babe
Comforted and consoled the companion in times of pain.
A million times for you
A metaphorical expression of offering emotional support repeatedly.
I'd sell my soul for you babe
Expressing a willingness to make significant sacrifices for the companion.
For money to burn with you
Willing to share wealth and experiences with the companion.
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Ready to give everything, even if it means having nothing.
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Expressing a strong desire to have the companion close.
Because
Transition to chorus, connecting the verses.
In the midnight hour she cried more, more, more
Reiteration of the desire for more in the midnight hour.
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
With a rebellious yell, intensifying the call for more.
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
Repetition of the desire for more in the midnight hour.
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell, reemphasizing the strong desire for more.
More, more, more
Repetition to emphasize the intensity of desire.
Oh yeah little baby
An exclamation affirming the desire for more from the woman.
She want more
Reiteration of the woman's strong desire for more.
More, more, more, more, more
Emphasizing the woman's insatiable desire for more.
Oh yeah little baby
Reiteration of the woman's strong desire for more.
She want more
Emphasizing the woman's insatiable desire for more.
More, more, more, more
Repetition to conclude the song, underlining the relentless desire for more.
