We were wondering what went wrong
Was it time when I got turned off
By those things you know
By those things you know

Got tired of hanging on
And trying to love one song
On the radio
On the radio

And on and on
Get up get off
Come on come on
As I lead I can say

And I gave up mine
Had a made up mind
As I lead I know

And you made up mind
With your made up mind
It’s all that you know

Sunday night I'm there and walk it around
Taking up the air an empty downtown
When ahead and killed the time that I found
Always in my head I'm hearing some sound
What we wouldn’t give to never be bad
Ever taking in and living underground
Better be man and under some cloud
Sunday night is fair and never so down

Ooooh la la-la

    We were wondering what went wrong, Was it time when I got turned on, By those things you know, By those things you know,

    Got tired of hanging on, And trying to love one song, On the radio, On the radio,

    And on, and on, Get up, get off, Come on, come on, As I lead, I can say,

    And I gave up mine, Had a made up mind, Is all that I know,

    And you made up mind, With your made up mind, It’s all that you know,

    Sunday night I'm there and walking around, Taking up the air in empty downtown, What a way to kill the time that I found, Always in my head I'm hearing some sound, What we wouldn’t give to never be bad, Ever taking in and living underground, Better be man a and under some cloud, Sunday night is fair and never so down,

    Ooooh la la-la.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
