Although my lover lives
In a place that I can't live
I kinda find I like a life this lonely

It rips and pierces me
In places I can't see
I love the rip of nerves the rip that wakes me

So I'm dissatisfied
I love dissatisfy
I love to feel there's always more that I need

So come on home
So come on home
So come on home, home

You're where you want to be
I'm where I want to be
Come on we're chasing everything we've ever wanted

Replace you easily
Replace pathetically
I flirt with every flirty thing that falls my way

But how I needed you
When I needed you
Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

Come on home
So come on home
So come on home, home

Blue light falls upon your perfect skin
Falls and you draw back again
Falls and this is how I felt
And I cannot forget
And I cannot forget

Come on home
So come on home
But don't forget to leave

    the lyrics seem to be wrong up there. they are actually:

    Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live I kinda find I like a life this lonely It rips and pierces me in places I can't see I love the rip of nerves, the rip that wakes me

    So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied I love to feel there's always more that I need

    So come on home So come on home So come home...

    You're where you want to be, I'm where I want to be Caught up chasing everything I've ever wanted I replace you easily, replace pathetically I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way

    But how I needed you, when I needed you Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

    Come on home So come on home So come home...

    Blue light falls upon your perfect skin Falls, and you draw back again Falls, and this is how I fell And I can not forget this And I can not forget this

    Come on home So come on home But don't forget to leave

    My interpretation of this song is that he has moved away from this girl he loves to "chase everything he's ever wanted" and likes the feeling of being dissatisfied because otherwise the time they spend together when she comes home is not deserved. the last line telling her not to forget to leave is because he enjoys being dissatisfied, and wants to earn her back by missing her. i think he likes to think he can replace her easily, but that the next line after this says "replace pathetically" suggests any replacement he might find is not as good as her, so he continues to ask her to "come on home"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
