From the moment that we met
My world was turned around
Upside down
To some degree I still regret

My memory
For keeping you around
Girl, I thought that you were mine
But my broken heart's been

Shattered
One too many times

And I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here
But I'm better when you're gone

I'm certain that I've given
And, oh, how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break

Baby, please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces

Someone let you down again
So you turn to me
Your convenient friend
Oh, but I know what you're doin'

And what you hope to find
I've seen it a thousand times
All the fire we had before
Are now just bitter ashes
Left scattered on the floor

And I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here
But I'm better when you're gone

I'm certain that I've given
And, oh, how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break

Baby, please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces, yeah

I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here, baby
But I'm better when you're gone

I'm certain that I've given
And, oh, how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break

Baby, please release me
We both know that you don't need me (You don't need me)
Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces
Let it rest

    i love music. because 10 people could have 10 totally different interpretations of the same song. to me this song. is about a guy who has this friend, who absolutely changed his world. and they had an amazing time together. but then that friend went away and forgot about him when something better came along. then she get her heart broken. and turn back to that old friend. but then the cycle just keeps going on. and the "always there for" friend tries to get het friend outta his life. but she keeps coming back. and he keeps getting his heart broken time and time again

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,
