This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I stepped out off the train at dawn
Walked along an open road
To find you
You made beds at the gold motel
Sold junk at the carousel
To bind you
Lolita
You make my wheel, set me free
Won't you come home with me?
We used to meet at the waterfall
Pink heather on the falling wall
Nothing to prove
Drank beer from a stolen can
Smoke cigarettes when we can
Because we like to
Lolita
You make my wheel, set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Memories tangled up the spokes that
Make my wheel
Make my wheel
Oh everything has gone wrong!
I left you at the gold motel
Selling junk at the carousel
That bound you down
Can't find you now
Lolita
You make my wheel, set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Walked along an open road
To find you
You made beds at the gold motel
Sold junk at the carousel
To bind you
Lolita
You make my wheel, set me free
Won't you come home with me?
We used to meet at the waterfall
Pink heather on the falling wall
Nothing to prove
Drank beer from a stolen can
Smoke cigarettes when we can
Because we like to
Lolita
You make my wheel, set me free
Won't you come home with me?
Memories tangled up the spokes that
Make my wheel
Make my wheel
Oh everything has gone wrong!
I left you at the gold motel
Selling junk at the carousel
That bound you down
Can't find you now
Lolita
You make my wheel, set me free
Won't you come home with me?

@[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
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."

this is about lolita, kellys daughter
why does he want her to come home with him then?=S
i thought it was about the book called lolita by Vladimir Navokov, if it is i don't think it's about his daughter because the book's about a pervert that is obsesses by a 12 year old girl.
The only thing this song has in common with the book is the name.
Actually, it has more than just the name in common with Nabokov's novel.
There's a reference to 'beds at the gold motel', where in the book Humbert takes Lolita all across the country, and 'to bind you' - Humbert winds up using bribery to keep Lolita sleeping with him. It also says 'to find you', which Humbert also tries to do towards the end of the book, and also 'can't find you now'.
Not to mention the open plea of 'won't you come home with me?', which is basically all that Humbert desires.
Personally I'd say it was almost defnitely based on Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita.
And lo-lolita, reminds me of Lo Lee Ta. However, it IS the name of Kelly's daughter, and that's that's what Wikipedia said the song was named after.
I don't know about who is this, but whatever, it's still great.
His daughter's named Lolita? Wow. I thought the book had put people off calling their children that!
Yeah, the song is named after his child Lolita, but i find it difficult to believe that it has anything to do with her.
From what i make of it, it seems to be about a girl that he admired and respected, who lived a poor and dangerous life ("Sold junk at the carousel") in order to survive ("Bind you")
He explains how she made him happy, ("You make my wheel set me free") and as a result, he got mixed up in attempting to save her but failed.
"Oh everything has gone wrong I left you at the gold motel Selling junk at the carousel That bound you down Can't find you now"
A lot of songs within Language, Sex, Violence, Other, seem to focus on regret and loss. Maybe this is yet another example?
nabokov called her "Lo"... i think it's obviously about Lolita, the book... what a masterpiece!!!
