Through the windows of a bus
The sun shines through
As you slip and slide on your roller blades
Down the centre of the street
You carve your name
But what’s that all about anyway
And as you cut between the cars
You kind of fade away
And disappear into camouflage
But what else have you to express
Beyond the way you dress
Is there no dark cloud hanging over you
Your image precedes you
I know where that leads to
You should have learned that long ago
You think that everyone’s a fool
It’s not your fault that you’re so cool
'Cause the shadow machine of the cityscape
But on the bus, they must relax
Because they’re free from all attacks
With the torn up stubs from yesterday
But you’re just like one of those girls
Modeling their curls
Display case reflections
And silver spoons
You’re so well trained
So left-brained
That you can't even smile
When an unleashed dog
Starts to follow you
You said that everyone’s a fool
It’s not your fault that you’re so cool
'Cause the shadow machine of the cityscape
But on the bus, we must relax
Because we’re free from all attacks
Of torn out stubs from yesterday
The sun shines through
As you slip and slide on your roller blades
Down the centre of the street
You carve your name
But what’s that all about anyway
And as you cut between the cars
You kind of fade away
And disappear into camouflage
But what else have you to express
Beyond the way you dress
Is there no dark cloud hanging over you
Your image precedes you
I know where that leads to
You should have learned that long ago
You think that everyone’s a fool
It’s not your fault that you’re so cool
'Cause the shadow machine of the cityscape
But on the bus, they must relax
Because they’re free from all attacks
With the torn up stubs from yesterday
But you’re just like one of those girls
Modeling their curls
Display case reflections
And silver spoons
You’re so well trained
So left-brained
That you can't even smile
When an unleashed dog
Starts to follow you
You said that everyone’s a fool
It’s not your fault that you’re so cool
'Cause the shadow machine of the cityscape
But on the bus, we must relax
Because we’re free from all attacks
Of torn out stubs from yesterday

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."
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/

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.
