Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to The Runaways or about the 1970s in general.

We speak in codes and no one knows
Cause we’re living a double life
Kept inside our love dreams hide
Cause we’re living a double life

Secrets
We’re got dreams
Mysteries
And crazy schemes
Secrets
We’ve got dreams
Secrets
Can’t be seen

Out on the street the shadows meet
Cause we’re living a double life
We can’t tell it fits so well
Thats we’re living a double life

Secrets
We’re got dreams
Mysteries
And crazy schemes
Secrets
We’ve got dreams
Secrets
Can’t be seen

Shhh… someone’s coming
Shhh… be quiet
If we get caught
Just deny it

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Secrets by The Runaways in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Secrets" means the words set to the music of Secrets, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Runaways. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
