May I do the un-troduction, Cinderella
Shoe, shoe was Cinderella
In this little cellar
We grow like weeds
Cause it’s damp and dark
And we chose to park right here
Oh dear oh dear oh dea-ea-ea-ear

Someone is bound
To notice that we don’t
Blend in no matter how hard
The bartender tries
With our parking skills
And our lullabies
So he lays and lies and lies
Awake

Sayin’ oh man
I’ve got me a cunt back home
And she’s got herself a
Bun in the oven
If you know what I mean
I mean I tried
I tried to keep the whole thing clean
And it never happened on a screen
And it was seen
Never happening by
Millions of people
Oh sometimes you just gotta
Sell your sou-ou-oul
Sometimes you just gotta
Sell your soul

Cinderella
Shoe, shoe
Cinderella, Cinderella
Shoe, shoe
Cindere-eh-eh-ella

    Here's what I think this song means: I think it's supposed to be a sort of reverse Cinderella story, or a story about how someone realizes those sorts of things don't happen in real life. For example, it says "In this little cellar, we grow like weeds" growing like weeds indicates thriving, and since Cinderella was miserable in the cellar, this indicates that the people mentioned in the song aren't like Cinderella in the sense that they're happy with poverty/simplicity. Next, there's the whole not blending in part. Wherever these people are going, they obviously feel out of place. Then there's the part about the bartender. When she says "lies and lies and lies" her tone changes each time. At first it sounds optimistic and confident, as though she's sure the bartender is lying. But then, it sounds like she starts to doubt herself. Then the bartender starts talking about his girlfriend, about how they humiliated themselves (probably for money) I was led to believe that this is a sort of eye-opening experience for the speaker (whatever persona she's adopting in the song). I really like this song. I wish it were on a CD :)

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
