Analysis of Van Halen

Van Halen
a young kid running the streets of California
 Brother Alex playing on the pots & pans
 In time young Eddie bought a guitar
 hoping in his heart he'll go far

Although from that scene many years had passed
 still having every reason to grasp,
 A deep aura of musical talent intact
 Soon a band was formed with Diamond Dave, Alex, Michael & Ed

what was going on inside his head
 flirting with drugs along his path
 Working so hard anyone else would have a heart attack
 Eruption on stage with the wailing of his guitar 1984

Still time had passed and the parting of the ways with Diamond Dave
 Out of sadness there was new gladness with Sammy singing lead
 A break up with Valerie Bertenelli yet out came son Wolfie
 Hitting the streets again a brief excursion

A band with a talent unmatched still another parting of ways
 Then it was Mr. Cherona that fell apart at the seems to extreme
 Looking back today the band went all the way
 Shooting to the stars a reunited band with Diamond Dave again

Perhaps it's best to hold our breath and count to the number ten ?
 Eddie was and still is my biggest inspiration
 Now is a good time for the band to take a break on a long vacation.
