Everything little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me
And even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Everything little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me
And even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Come on Petunia, you thought in your head
it would all be so easy if you could be led
to the cave where I'd hide you in linens and frames
and in new combinations I've made of our names
it's a tiny hole, yeah, but you'd fit
if I sliced you up real itty bitty
I'd sliver and splice you and then you'd be many
and I'd be the one who was privy to love you
and show you the fun

Everything little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me
And even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Jamie, he stood on the stoop
and he challenged his homies
to go get some girlfriends
and locate their yonis
the waters are parting and time's getting heated
the boys needed friendship
their beat needed meated (uh uh)
her dress was a ship at sail (uh)
her knees were the water pail
this was survival and she was the kit
you could die of thirst if the girls won't give you sips

Everything little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me
And even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up
a thousand times a day
I thought I'd ask her if she'd marry me
in some old fashioned way
Well, but, my silent fears were cysted
and before I reached the phone
like before my tongue has twisted why must I always be alone

Mmm
You're all Jenny and Lyndsay and fine
and I'm underwater, I'm shedding my mind
and I'm pretty sure, baby, if you'd hold my head
I could live like I've wished for and undo my dread
cause I see candygrams up in the ceiling tiles
witty postcards sent off from the Sandwich Isles
and these towns where vacations will lead us
I'll hold out my treasures and their welfare feed us
but oh she does what she wishes
and, no, she won't be your misses
the kingdom, it widens and there they're alone with all that love and the void on the throne

Everything little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me
And even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Everything little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me
And even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

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."
