I always thought that I had quite a gift
As a judge of human character
This is the day and the time and the place
And I wonder, wonder where you are
Surely we set it for 3pm, surely we said it was march the 10th

Equator, equator
You said you'd meet me there
You must be just around the bend

Well all of the gifts are now melted or dead
And I'm sorry, sorry in advance
Ill make it up to you, that I can promise you
If I am given just half the chance
God you'll be laughing, I look a mess
But you see I've been half way 'round this place

Equator equator
You said you'd meet me there
Equator equator
You said you'd be right there
Equator equator
Oh yeah

Equator equator
Doo doo doo doo
Equator equator
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Equator equator
Oh yeah!

Equator equator
You said you'd meet me there
You must be just around the bend

I've got to stop here and rest for a moment
I'm sure that you're not far away
You always walked just as slow as you talked
Letting me think I could have my way
I wasn't fooled for a second, girl
I knew it was you who controlled our world

Equator equator
You said you'd meet me there
Equator equator
You said you'd be right there
Equator equator
Oh yeah

Equator Equator

    it seems to be about how horrid it is waiting for someone to arrive for a date, fearing that as they are late they will have stood you up and also how they can control your relationship by making it on their time and things. Yeah!

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
