I loves you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
And I'll be glad
Someday I know hes' coming back to call me
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy
Deep inside me
But when he calls
I know I have to go
Porgy, I's yo' woman now
I is, I is
And I ain't never goin' nowhere 'less you shares the fun, ooh
And I am telling you
I'm not going
See, you're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
See, I'm staying, I am staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me, ohh, ooh
You're gonna love me, ohh, yes
Ohh
And I am telling you I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
See, there is just no way, there's no way
Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout
Well, you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Hold back the rivers
Push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
I am telling you I'm not going
See, you're the best man I'll ever know
See, there's no way I cand ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you, au
I'm not living without you, not living without you
Hey, I don't wanna be free
That's why I'm staying, I'm staying
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
Oh, yes, oh, yes, you are
Oh, yes, you are, hey, hey
You're gonna love me
Ooh, love me
Ooh, love me
Love me, love me
Share my love
Take me for what I am
I'll never change all my colors for you, mmh
I said, take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are, everything that you do, ooh
And I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
So, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you
Ooh, ohh, yeah, yeah
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love, ooh
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, oh, one I can hold onto? Ohh
Ay, I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
But your love I'll remember forever
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me, no
Don't walk away from me, no
Do not walk away from me, no, hey
I, I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you
Ooh, you

Ooh, hey, hey, hey

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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
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 song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I meant not using her talent anymore... making sure to correct myself before I get criticized for what I was saying lol
