Angel lives alone in East Baltimore
Eviction notice stapled to her front door
Bleach-blond hair, fishnet pantyhose
God she wishes it was 15 years ago
When buying her a drink meant anything
You wanted that night... was alright
But through cocaine tears and 15 years
You know she sleeps alone tonight

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Ricky lives alone... mother's basement
37 got nothing yet to show for it
Heavy metal man with his long hair
The top is gone but he's still rockin' the ponytail
All he's got now is post grunge apathy
(Catastrophe)
He says The Vines and The White Stripes
Just don't get it for me and my friends
Take me back when...

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Till one night at karaoke
Ricky was kickin out Bon Jovi
"Dead Or Alive" I think it was
And right then Angel fell in love
She knew they'd be together
Stuck in the past together

He don't care he's stuck in the '80s
She don't care she's stuck in the '80s
They don't care they're stuck in the '80s
We don't care we're stuck in the '80s

Where did you go Axl Rose?

    hahaha, this song is awesome. It has cool lyrics like 1985 and the music sounds awesome. I think Mitch Allan is as cool as (or cooler than) Axl Rose, well at least he has no strange braids on his hair.

    Does anyone else find it odd that this song was released in 2004, with startlingly similar lyrics to Def Karaoke Jam's "Axl Rose" that came out in 1998? It's not the exact same song by any means, but it seems like Mitch Allan ripped off someone elses song here...

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
