This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She puts on a pretty dress
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain
My bed's already made."
Well, I was searching for something
But didn't know what
And I found a whore
On the corner of her street
She wrapped her arms around me
And she kissed me on the mouth
Said, "There's more where that came from
Oh, baby, there's more."
Like a lamb to the slaughter
I followed her home
Into bed with a stranger
No one has to know
She puts on a pretty dress
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain
Nobody has to know."
Stay away! Stay away!
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away! Stay away!
It's all secret love
And the fastest way to loneliness
I can't get enough
But my soul is rotting
What have I become?
I can hear their screams so clearly now
With a shake of my face
I awoke and saw my fate
All alone in the darkness
Chained to the devil's gate
She puts on a pretty dress
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain
Nobody has to know."
Stay away! Stay away!
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away! Stay away!
It's all secret love
And the fastest way to loneliness
I hear the beautiful voice of wisdom
Joined by angels, she sings
Well, her words are sweet like honey
And sour to my stomach
She says, "Get on your feet
Come dine with me in heavenly places
Where you can hear the angels sing."
She puts on a pretty dress
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain
Nobody has to know."
Stay away! Stay away!
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away! Stay away!
It's all secret love
And a slippery road to hell
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain
My bed's already made."
Well, I was searching for something
But didn't know what
And I found a whore
On the corner of her street
She wrapped her arms around me
And she kissed me on the mouth

Oh, baby, there's more."
Like a lamb to the slaughter
I followed her home
Into bed with a stranger
No one has to know
She puts on a pretty dress
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain
Nobody has to know."
Stay away! Stay away!
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away! Stay away!
It's all secret love
And the fastest way to loneliness
I can't get enough
But my soul is rotting
What have I become?
I can hear their screams so clearly now
With a shake of my face
I awoke and saw my fate
All alone in the darkness
Chained to the devil's gate
She puts on a pretty dress
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain

Stay away! Stay away!
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away! Stay away!
It's all secret love
And the fastest way to loneliness
I hear the beautiful voice of wisdom
Joined by angels, she sings
Well, her words are sweet like honey
And sour to my stomach

She puts on a pretty dress
And wears it all over town
All over town
Says, "I can give you what you want
Escape from the pain
Nobody has to know."
Stay away! Stay away!
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away! Stay away!
It's all secret love
And a slippery road to hell

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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This is about the honey-tongued temptress of Proverbs 7. biblegateway.com/passage/ I love their modern interpretation and it still maintains the same message that what seduces us most easily may eventually lead to our destruction.
