He was a simple boy, he just liked to have fun
He never wanted to be just like his dad was
He was a dreamer but he had never had none
Who made the most of his life but never had one

He was a single boy he could never slow down
He always wanted to leave but didn't know how
He was a dreamer who seemed to never break ground
Who spent most of his life in a small town

Shake up my life
Lets go...
Back to the days when we were young and all restless
We still believed in having built up offenses
I'll tell you one things for sure
Till we make the decision
We'll never take this world
Unless we make a head on collision
A head on collision

And daddy told her she could never have
Late night out with her man
So she sits crying by the window
Every time she gets another A
She makes it another day
And it's just that simple

Shake up my life
Let's go...
Back to the days when we were young and all restless
We still believed in having built up offenses
I'll tell you one things for sure
Till we make the decision
We'll never take this world
Unless we make a head on collision
A head on collision

Here they come now
Will you come down?
Make â??em run now
On to the next town
Here they come now
Let's make â??em run now
No time to fake now
Everything breaks down

(Here they come now
Will you come down?
Make â??em run now
On to the next town
Here they come now
Let's make â??em run now
No time to fake now
Everything breaks down)

(He was a simple boy he just liked to have fun
He never wanted to be just like his dad was
He was a dreamer but he had never had none
Who made the most of his life but never had one)

Here they come now
Will you come down?
Make â??em run now
On to the next town

Let's go...
Back to the days when we were young and all restless
We still believed in having built up offenses
I'll tell you one things for sure
Till we make the decision
We'll never take this world
Unless we make a head on collision

Let's go...
Back to the days when we were young and all restless
We still believed in having built up offenses
I'll tell you one things for sure
Till we make the decision
We'll never take this world
Unless we make a head on collision


Don't you know
?
Well we thought â??cause we were never listening
Knew it all ?
Well all we needed was a head on collision

Don't you know
?
Well we thought â??cause we were never listening
Knew it all ?
Well all we needed was a head on collision

    He was a simple boy, he just liked to have fun. He never wanted to be just like his dad was. He was a dreamer but he had never had none. Who made the most of his life but never had one. He was a single boy, he could never slow down, He always wanted to leave but didn't know how. He was a dreamer who seemed to never break ground, Who spent most of his live in a small town.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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 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."
