Hey
What, what, what, what, what, what, what? Huh?
Oh, nothing
Just wondering why it is you're doing
What? What is you're doing
That whatever it is you're doing

Oh yeah, why, why?
I dunno
It just doesn't seem like something you'd be doing, I mean
You of all people, ha. Know what I mean?
Yeah, I know it's been bugging you since the day I was born, huh?
I asked my friend Anne about it

I said, Anne, Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do, huh?
It's been bugging them since the day that I was born

She said do whatever the hell you want to do
Now is the time when you can do anything
Everything you do, anything, it will still turn out great
You've got the world at your feet

I never claimed to be different
I only said I was bored
And she's tired of your uniqueness
It sends her over head first
Then the rest of her follows
The breath of life, it never left her hollow

And I can do everything, she says, she says with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight, 'cause I'm with Anne
Anne, Anne, who? Anne Dagnabit
Island princess girl with the juice
What's this, I see she brought her whole uplown contingent

First there's Johnny
He always loves a party
He's followed by Vinnie
Who's feelin' kinda skinny

He says hey Anne I'm starved what you got to eat
She says Vinnie, you're always starving
Man get away from that fridge

Now, here comes Lucy
She's feelin' really sexy
She's followed by her boyfriend
Who'd better not turn around this time or he's bound to lose her
And followed by Jamilla, who's got the cream soda

And I can do everything, I won't tell you again
And we can go anywhere tonight, 'cause we're with Anne
Anne

And we can do anything we want, we'll tell you again
We can can go anywhere tonight, 'cause we're with Anne Anne Anne
Who? Anne Dagnabit
Island princess girl with the juice

Girl with the hots, hots for Ricky
Whoop we're having fun, hey
Whoop we're having fun, hey
Hey hey Hey you guys, what?
Additude Additude
Hey

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
