Got love, if that's what you need
I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee
I got good love waitin' for you
I come sneakin' round the corner of the avenue

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, because it'll get you

There's one thing that's on my mind
And that's getting hold of you before I serve my time, I gotta
Keep on, with my heavy load
Till I see you come a-strollin' down that open road

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I'll get you
Don't you know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, I will get you
And you're feeling sorrow, Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, I will get you
And now it's all about Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, I will get you

I love you Ma-Ma-Ma Belle
That's why I want to get it all well I'm sure you can tell I got
Good soul, runnin' so deep
Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep
Can't you hear me once Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, oh I will get you, yeah
You know I want her Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, oh I will get you

And you gotta find Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, oh I will get you
Yeah and it's all about Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, I will get you, yeah

You know Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma Belle
I'm gonna see you down, down
Gonna see about Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, gonna see you around

    This was a B-side to "Living Thing". Don't know why it wasn't included on the album. Great mix of crunching guitars and orchestral strings. If your an ELO fan find this song and download it. Very underrated, as I can tell by lack of comments. Shows how they can rock out with the best.

Mountain Song
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."
