This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Pass me the bottle or pass me the gun
Right about now I'll take either one
A land of murders and maniacs, junkies and cracks
It's a bottle of scotch then I fade to black
So I'm looking for an answer to an unknown question
But all I hear is 'Let that be a lesson'
It's better than down the road
That's what I've been told
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Every day that I'm still livin'
I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon
First one down, five more to go
Six pack therapy, it's all that I know
So I'm starting over, brick by brick
No idea what's next and I'm stuck in the thick
Oh I drank my way to the streets alone
I drank my way, no house, no home
That's what I've been told
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Every day that I'm still livin'
I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon
She's a black widow, she'll rip out your heart
You told me that from the very start
I said 'No Dave, you must be mistaken
This heart right here won't be a breakin'
How did you know at The Echo that night
Mr. Dave Sloan once again you were right
I drank my way, no house, no home
That's what I've been told
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Every day that I'm still livin'
I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon
Right about now I'll take either one
A land of murders and maniacs, junkies and cracks
It's a bottle of scotch then I fade to black
So I'm looking for an answer to an unknown question
But all I hear is 'Let that be a lesson'
It's better than down the road
That's what I've been told
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Every day that I'm still livin'
I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon
First one down, five more to go
Six pack therapy, it's all that I know
So I'm starting over, brick by brick
No idea what's next and I'm stuck in the thick
Oh I drank my way to the streets alone
I drank my way, no house, no home
That's what I've been told
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Every day that I'm still livin'
I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon
She's a black widow, she'll rip out your heart
You told me that from the very start
I said 'No Dave, you must be mistaken
This heart right here won't be a breakin'
How did you know at The Echo that night
Mr. Dave Sloan once again you were right
I drank my way, no house, no home
That's what I've been told
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Lookin' back I know I should have listened
Every day that I'm still livin'
I look back and I know I should have listened, c'mon

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,
