This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Have you noticed, I've never been impressed
By your friends from New York and London
I'll level accusations like the press
Till you realize that you've dressed yourself in tatters
Because the man's needs
Man's needs are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A man's needs, man's needs
Are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs
I'm not bothered, what you say or how you dress
I'm a mess, so you've always seemed inviting
But really, this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember that you never seemed to see
The fact that man's needs
Man's needs are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A girl's needs, girl's needs
Just don't agree, just don't agree
With man's needs
Have you noticed, I've never been impressed
By your friends from New York and London
But really this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember that you never seemed to see
The excuse, that man's needs, man's needs
Are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
You say your man's needs, man's needs
Have lots on me
I don't agree
A man's needs, oh, oh
By your friends from New York and London
I'll level accusations like the press
Till you realize that you've dressed yourself in tatters
Because the man's needs
Man's needs are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A man's needs, man's needs
Are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs
I'm not bothered, what you say or how you dress
I'm a mess, so you've always seemed inviting
But really, this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember that you never seemed to see
The fact that man's needs
Man's needs are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A girl's needs, girl's needs
Just don't agree, just don't agree
With man's needs
Have you noticed, I've never been impressed
By your friends from New York and London
But really this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember that you never seemed to see
The excuse, that man's needs, man's needs
Are full of greed, are full of greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
You say your man's needs, man's needs
Have lots on me
I don't agree
A man's needs, oh, oh

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."

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,
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/

Oh-oh! Oh-oh!
you have got the lyrics wrong, its "FOUND on greed" not full. checked the lyrics book
Jonaz really is a bit of a dick, isn't he.
I JUST RANDOMLY STUMBLED ON THEIR PAGE AND THESE GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD!
I thought he was singing "Apollo Creed", to be honest...
<br /> <br /> <br /> I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was like, "What does Apollo Creed have to do with anything?" It still sounds like that as I listen and look at the lyrics but I'm sure they aren't what I, WE, thought. Ha, ha.<br />
I disagree with most of you, I think that it's an ironic satire of the way women view men. Jarman is mocking the excuses women make up to use in order to dump men, that they've only gone for in the first place because they're in a bad state and are effectively using them.
'i'm a mess so you've always seemed inviting'. I also think it's easier to think as a girl singing it from the lyrics 'man's needs are lost on me.'
I came up with this theory whilst drunk, but the more i think about it the more it makes sense. :)
@Hruikan Agree %100. <br />
chooooon
true true
The disagreement of a man's stereotypical desires in a relationship and how women sometimes manipulate it?...i also agree with "tune" tis. x
gotta be huge soon, the cribs roll and rock at the same time. this song is probably about how natural instinct will always overide fashion, like if you see a girl wearing massive sunglasses that cover half her head. it won't make any difference to how much you fancy her.. if she is nice, she could could wear a teletubby outfit and you would ;p
