On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A Japanese transistor radio

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Green polka-dot pajamas
And a Japanese transistor radio
(It's a Nakashuma)

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man
Green polka-dot pajamas
And a Japanese transistor radio
(It's the Mark IV model
That's the one that's discontinued)

On the fourth day Of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A simulated alligator wallet
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man
Green polka-dot pajamas
And a Japanese transistor radio
(And it comes in a leatherette case with holes in it
so you can listen right through the case)

On the fifth fay of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A statue of a naked lady, with a clock where her stomach ought to be
A simulated alligator wallet
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man
Green polka-dot pajamas
And a Japanese transistor radio
(And it has a wire with thing on one end
that you can stick right in your ear
and a thing on the other end
that you can't stack anywhere, because it's bent)

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A hammered aluminum nutcracker
And all that other stuff
And a Japanese transistor radio

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A pink satin pillow that says San Diego, with fringe all around it,
And all that other stuff
And a Japanese radio

On the eight day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
An indoor plastic birdbath
And all that other stuff
And a Japanese transistor radio

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A pair of teakwood shower clogs
And a Japanese transistor radio

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A chromium combination manicure scissors and cigarette lighter
And a Japanese transistor radio

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
An automatic vegetable slicer that works when to see it on television
but not when you get it home
And a Japanese transistor radio

On the twelfth day of Christmas, although it may seem strange
On the twelfth day of Christmas, I'm going to exchange
An automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on television
but not when you get it home
A chromium combination manicure scissors and cigarette lighter
A pair of teakwood shower clogs
An indoor plastic birdbath
A pink satin pillow that says San Diego, with fringe all around it
A hammered aluminum nutcracker
A statue of naked lady, with a clock where her stomach ought to be
A simulated alligator wallet
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man
Green polka-dot pajamas
And a Japanese transistor radio

Merry Christmas everybody

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
