If you think that I don't notice
that you're not looking me in the eye
then you're blind and I don't have the time,
to sit here and wonder
just what's under your skin tonight.

And I know that there's a problem
but I don't understand
if what's in my chest is now in your hand,
I don't want to hear a word but I do.

Go to hell, who needs you,
I say that because I don't believe you.
Take my words the way I'm taking yours.
Its not fair, you know me,
but you don't even hear me,
Listen once, and listen close to me

Even a heart transplant
wouldn't show you how I feel would it baby.
Its tearing up my past now.
Yeah, it wouldn't show you how I feel would it now.

And those inside jokes and things we know
are the furthest thing from my mind,
but you let one slip and I forget and smile.
But I shouldn't because I hate you
and I hope this irritates you
as much as it does to me for even
thinking that I don't want you.
I'm not looking at you like I used to
when you'd kiss me and
when you'd want me, what did I do?
What did I say?

What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?
What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?

Time goes by and wonders why
and where and how and what you've learned.
and who is this you're sitting with tonight.
I'm over you, way over due now
but my heart lies to and between my past.
But if I pretend for a minute and put all that I have into it,
I swear that I can still feel
your something, but its probably nothing.

What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?
What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?

Even a heart transplant
wouldn't show you how I feel would it baby.
Its tearing up my past now.
Yeah, it wouldn't show you how I feel would it now.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
