Two shots in the morning, take it easy on yourself
A banging head from yesterday
Pidgeons flap so freely, now the landlord kicks the door
Fetch your chair, it's not that hard

'Cause we're so happy
I said we're happy at being sad

So wake up, oh wake up
'Cause I don't wanna fight with you no more
So wake up, foh wake up
We'll forget about the jungle on the floor
We can forget about the jungle on the floor

One is for my love, and the other for my hate
I guess that really sums us up

'Cause we're so happy
I said we're happy at being sad

So wake up, oh wake up
'cause I don't wanna fight with you no more
So wake up, foh wake up
We'll forget about the jungle on the floor
We can forget about the jungle on the floor
We can forget about the jungle on the floor

    Lyric Correction

    "It's not that hard" is actually "stop that whore". Lyrics printed in the Japanese edition have the chorus as "fool wake up" but they're not always correct. Also, pigeons FLY.

    Simply said, this song is about a heartbreak and how the artist describes his feeling about his lover. The first two lines talks about the drinking problems some face during a heartbreak. He's trying to convince himself by saying, 'take it easy on yourself'. Next he describes how badly he wants her to be with him. 'Landlord kicks the door' (presumably, to close it.). Then there's the next line, which I feel should be, 'place the chair and stop that whore.' This again describes about trying to not let her go. The next stanza is a bit sarcastic. Mostly people tell their close-bys that they're happy with the break up, but they're indeed sad. He then tells her to come to ger senses and realize that. He says he wants to end this argument and forget about it, which clears the line, 'we can forget about the jungle on the floor', i.e., the mess they have created. Then he talks about how he still has 'warmth' for this lover who hates him now. Pretty much a heart felt composition by Mr. Sergio Pizzorno. I used some of the lyrics while chatting with my love interest with whom I had an argument. Worked for me. It has been some time since someone last commented. This may go unnoticed, but well, I love Kasabian and look forward to decipher their (somewhat) complicated lyrics.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.
