There was a day when I was so lonely
Time passed me by I was more dead than alive
Every minute was like an hour
Every day was an eternity
I looked for hope but all around me people didnt seem to care
but oh... that rock N roll
It saved my soul
That Rock N Roll
If I ever thought that I could be happy
Seems like that allways faded away
And all the girls allready had boyfreinds
I was alone as lonely could be
I layed asleep and turned on the radio
The music to me was like a dream
Oh.. that rock N roll
It saved my soul
That Rock N Roll
walk around but youve gotta have a reason
Something worth getting up in the morning for
My heart looked to art and I found the beetles
The thought I wasnt in the true deciples
Look for the fun and youll start a happy cycle
The music will make you come alive
Oh that rock N roll
It saved my soul
That rock N roll
She was crying Just like a baby
didnt wanna fight, or more like maybe
Gotta get on home at night
Seet the petal to the right
See the love in a dulge tree
and wonder who was in the outfeild
Swear I know the truth and I aint wearin no bunny suit
I got some doller on high look out

    Ummm... it's from the album "Fun" foremost.

    I thought it was only played in that scene where that dude fantasizes about himself being in a band in a music video.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
