Four Walls

The Low Life

Dandelion pastures
When wind blows seeds scatter
All across this sweet by and by
No lights make it darker
When they shut off our water
We'll stroll to the sea at sunrise

Long winding beaches
The sunshine conceals us
And noone can reach us for miles
Lost in the desert
Hangin out in t-shirts
Thumbing down riggs for a ride

Well we might not make it there
I just wanna make that clear

Blue skies cover green hills
Sipping moonshine from gin stills
Looking for a good place to hide
Ice storms and snow drifts
Cold feet and chapped lips
We must've gone west and turned right

This is where we'll call home
Got four walls and a burning stove
I can't buy you gold when
Push comes to shove
But all you will have in your hand is my love

I'm not working from 9-5
Got some money you've put aside
With any luck we'll get to see Graceland one day

This is where we'll call home
Got four walls and a burning stove
I can't buy you gold when
Push comes to shove
But all you will have Round your wrist is my love

Well we might not make it there
I just wanna make that clear

Spending all day driving
Taking in horizons
So many that we've left behind
We'll be together we're so fucking cleaver
Off into the sunset we'll ride

This is where we'll call home
Got four walls and a burning stove
I can't buy you gold when
Push comes to shove
But all you will have Round your wrist is my love

Wrapped round your wrist is my love
Held in your hand is my love
Don't ever fear with my love
Keep close to your heart all my love

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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."
