My album's out - i played some shows
Some strange things happened i'll have you know
(Hey you're Jeff Lewis, you like acid, right?)
Some people hear my acid song and seem to take it kind of wrong
(Yeah, you're Jeff Lewis. You're the guy that likes acid)
Well making druggy mentions has got the druggies attention
But getting you to give me some is not my intention

We don't want no LSD tonight

I played a show in Chapel Hill some dude dressed like a daffodil came backstage
(Hey you want some acid? I got some decent acid)
I played a show in Williamsburgh some dude dressed like a giant bird came backstage
(Yeah, i got some decent acid, you looking?)
We got a lot stuff to do and a long way to drive
Thank you for the offer man, maybe some other time

We don't want no LSD tonight

Well being drunk is fun i guess but being stoned makes me depressed
I can't do it
(The last time i did acid i went insane, it was awesome!)
I did try ecstasy one time and one time i drank some codeine cough syrup
(Hey i thought you were into psychedelic music, man)
But i'm just a tender thing i can't handle too much stress
I start to fall apart after a couple of cigarettes

So we don't want to LSD tonight

But everybody says
Don't you panic, don't you panic
Give it one more try
Don't you panic, don't you panic
Give it one more try
Don't you panic, don't you panic
Give it one more try

But did you hear that song i played about the time i went insane?
I hate acid
(Oh yeah, that was a good song, man. Do you know where i can get some acid?)
I played it till my fingers bled you didn't listen to a word i said, i guess
(Yeah, that was a funny song. You want some acid?)
It made me moan it made me groan it made me lose my mind
I do not like that stuff my friend and so i must decline
I do not want a little drop, i do not want a gallon
Did you see those words right on the cover of my album?
I know it can be cool and fun i'm just a bad example
So just to set the record straight i've got to say it simple:

We don't want no LSD tonight

(I think in the right environment you'd be fine.)
No.

But everybody says
Don't you panic, don't you panic
Give it one more try
Don't you panic, don't you panic
Give it one more try
Don't you panic, don't you panic
Give it one more try

No, not for me.
Thanks but no thanks.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
