Keep the Right Profile

Razorlight

I Keep the right profile
Eat the right food
I keep the right profile
You do what you do
You keep it all tied up
You keep it all tied
You don't stay in bed all morning
Don't stay up all night

And when you're gone
You won't come back
You got to keep the right profile
All the time
And it's a wonderful life
Yes it's a wonderful life
It's such a wonderful life
Where you do what you like

I heard about your problem
I know you got your share
I don't care that much though
Your daddy's a millionaire
He keeps the right profile
He keeps it tied up with string
But all your faith, tears and money
They don't mean nothing to me

And when you're gone
You won't come back
Just go and keep the right profile
All the time
And it's a wonderful life
Yes it's a wonderful life
It's such a wonderful life
Where you do what you like

Yes it's a wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonder ful
Life

When you're gone girl
You don't come back
When you're gone girl
You don't come back
I keep the right, keep the right, keep the right,
Keep the right, keep the right, keep the right
Keep the right keep the right, keep the right, keep the right, keep the right
Keep the right profile all the time

And it's a wonderful life
Yes it's a wonderful life
It's such a wonderful life
Where you do what you like
Yes it's a wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Life

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/

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.
