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”
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
You've been a splendid audience but aye your time has passed
So don't you all be letting that door hit you in the ass
You've been a splendid audience but enough is enough
We'd take it very kindly if you'd all just bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
Here's to the barkeeps and the waitresses who've been servin' you your beer
They've put up with your noxious and your stupid drunken leers
Be leavin' all your money on the table when you go
Tomorrow you'll have a throbbin' head and nothing else to show
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
Here's to all the lovely ladies who might be waitin' for the band
Thinkin' maybe one of them might make a one night stand
But please don't be offended girls, because this song is not for you
We'd be happy to oblige you when this nasty job is through
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
Now you've promised the ladies a night of love and bliss
When truth be known you're far too drunk to stand up straight and piss
So give it up you bloddy sods, you'll not be laid
The sooner that you're out of here the quicker we'll be paid
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
You've been a splendid audience but aye your time has passed
So don't you all be letting that door hit you in the ass
You've been a splendid audience but enough is enough
We'd take it very kindly if you'd all just bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
Here's to the barkeeps and the waitresses who've been servin' you your beer
They've put up with your noxious and your stupid drunken leers
Be leavin' all your money on the table when you go
Tomorrow you'll have a throbbin' head and nothing else to show
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off
Here's to all the lovely ladies who might be waitin' for the band
Thinkin' maybe one of them might make a one night stand
But please don't be offended girls, because this song is not for you
We'd be happy to oblige you when this nasty job is through
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off

When truth be known you're far too drunk to stand up straight and piss
So give it up you bloddy sods, you'll not be laid
The sooner that you're out of here the quicker we'll be paid
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
Bugger off, you bastards, bugger off
You're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
It's pretty simple. An amusing way to end a concert by telling you to take a hike.
