And I was stuck in minor chords
I'd been here once before
With environmental echoes
By your baggage on my floor
So get over here
Lets grab ourselves another beer
To drink untill tomorrow to forget that we're still alive.

We're drinking to forget
And it always breathes regrets
As dissolusion faces upon friends that we seldom met
I do believe that my
self-constructed alibi
Is cracking under pressure whilst i'm breaking on the inside

I'm sick of making sure
I'm sick of sitting with my hands strapped and falling on my back
And telling people I know
More than they needed to know
And this song is more, than a self indulgant rant, its closure for the times that have let you down
you know I need you around

Well I'm still here, long overdue, but it seems like coming alive for pastures new

So this ones for the friends
If not so for themselves
and this new lifes directing us
It reminds me in a town
That made us feel at home
We broke our backs on floors of stone
but I'd rather wake there any day
than wake up here alone.

Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba

So this ones for the friends
If not so for themselves
and this new lifes directing us
It reminds me in a town
That made us feel at home
We broke our backs on floors of stone
but I'd rather wake there any day
than wake up here alone.

Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba

    This song is even more amazing live, It's one of my favourites ever! I love Sam! Even though a lot of people say he's all just sticking issues and propoganda in our faces, at least he's actually doing something about it.. unlike everybody else!

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
