@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Can't fight! There's no escaping the facts
I tried to help but I failed
To solve the problems so much
Of good intentions
I want my wasted hours back
And I want my head to clear
And I have this bad taste in my mouth
From late nights and bad films
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
I'm drip fed these pictures
And now my words abandon me
The fraction that still me
Said this lives not all it could be
Now did you catch what I said?
Did you catch what I said?
One by one my ideas fade
And there's nothing left to say
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Can't fight, decide a future
Let's dance, you're so robotic
Times up, refill the meter
This disappointment's so electric
(x2)
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!

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."

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
wahey. this song is great. i loooovve pennie. he is gorgeous.
it sounds like he talking about how he's just broken up with a girlfriend and now is trying to pick himself up again and try and restart his life again
This has gotta be one of my favourite songs ever, it is so catchy! The bass line is ace. More comments people!
I love this song! Definately the best on the album.
this song rox my sox XD lol but anyway good song , i thoght it was about like going to a school dico or "dance" or whatever and getting turned down by girls but going back for more . . .
Get up! Recover! How many times do we need 2 tell are selves this in life?
I reckon this amazingly good song is about him just generally trying to recover after probably something about a girl...butscrew the meaning what a friggin awesome song!
Your all wrong :) In an interview they revealed this is about how people should stop doing drugs. "I want my wasted hours back And I want my head to clear And I have this bad taste in my mouth " Their head isn't clear 'cus their pretty damn high.
Why does everyone alwaysjump to the conclusion that songs are about having hearts broken? Sure, this song could imply it but the maning is far from heartache.
To me, this song is the hangover to Monster's excesses.
And to me it sounds like "you'll never dance again", not "she'll". And that strikes me as the kind of thing you say when you wake up feeling like death and promise yourself you'll never drink again.
lol, i agree wuth erm_yeah. the whole recovery thing does sound like rehab, but im not sure if its you'll or she'll, in that contex it'd make more sense to be you'll. but if its that, then its the exasperrated, just stop doing your drugs. its a good song.
