Hand me down halo
Halo hello
Hand me down halo

I saw you (I saw you)
Asleep In the car (asleep in the car)
On the first wave out of a fallen town

They follow to another cell (hand me down halo)
(halo hello)
They follow to another cell (hand me down halo)
To another cell (halo hello)

I watched you (I watched you)
From the bars of my room (from the bars of my room)
Always got a suntan at the first light of every Sunday
And your broken teeth, like a mangled screen
And your burnout smile on your ashtray face

Made me sick
You always made me sick
Made me sick
You always made me sick

(take my cell now)
Have a cigarette. have an omelet
(take my cell now)
A little nasty. a little balloon
(take my cell now)
Have a cold sore. have a nightmare
(take my cell now)
A little memory. a little history

Have a problem. have a collapse
A little sympathy. a little sympathy. (made me sick. you always made me sick)

(take my cell now)
Have a pager. have a baby
(take my cell now)
A little medicine. a little discipline

(take my cell now)
Have a lie down. have a sugar hand. (20, 40, 68...)
(take my cell now)
A little hassle. a little enemy. (20, 40, 68...)
(take my cell now)
Have a number. have a wallet chain. (20, 40, 68...)
(take my cell now)
A little nickname. a little self pity. (20, 40, 68...)

    What i would like to know is how you stubbled upon that little piece of information. If true it would give meaning to this song but how do you know tdamcbigity? Anyways this song is awesome. Sure its depressing but all pinback songs hide a dark message. The difference is that this songs dark message isnt hidden.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
