TIE ME TO THE LENGTH OF THAT

Public Image Limited

Trials and tribulations

When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles
Held me like a turkey
Dear mummy
Why'd you let him hit me
This was wrong
I knew you didn't love me

There is selection
Many shapes and sizes
Variety
Fondling surprises
The syllables
Trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving

Tie me to the length of that

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that

You’ll be sorry you don’t love me
Something is happening to my body

Nature is those little bits and pieces

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that

When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles
Held me like a turkey
Dear mummy
Why'd you let him hit me
This was wrong
I knew you didn't love me

I keep these feelings deep inside my body
It's not the union both of us expected
Remember daddy
When you made him hold me
Safe in his arms
Then the bastard dropped me

Ooh, ahh
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby boo-hoo...

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Considering life is now worth saving
Stupid drunk

You’ll be sorry you don’t love me

Ooh, ahh
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby

Ooh, ah
What a lovely little baby

There is selection
Many shapes and sizes
Variety
Fondling surprises
The syllables
Trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that

Until the end

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."
