You don't have to have money to make it in this world
You don't have to be skinny baby if you wanna be my girl
Oh
You just gotta be happy
But sometimes that's hard so just remember to smile
(Sometimes that's hard)
Smile
Smile
And that's a good enough start

If you ain't good looking don't you let it get you down
And if your love life ain't cooking baby there'll be more fish around
Oh
You just gotta stay happy so put away that frown
Yeah
Just remember to smile
Smile
Smile
And turn the world around

So just remember to smile
Smile
Smile

Smile
Smile
Smile

Smile
Smile
Smile

C'mon and show us your teeth
And what you got underneath

'Cause everyone's got trouble
That's the way the story goes
You don't need to use hubble baby to see what's underneath your nose
Oh
'Cause if you're feeling happy that's the place to let it show
So just remember to smile
Smile
Smile so everybody knows
And it will make things so much better when you're feeling low

Just remember to smile
Smile
Smile

Smile
Smile
Smile

Smile
Smile
Smile

C'mon and show us your teeth
And what you got underneath

Smile
Smile
Smile

Smile
Smile
Smile

Smile
Smile
Smile

C'mon and show us your teeth
And what you got underneath

Just remember to smile
Smile
Smile

C'mon and you gotta smile
Smile
Smile

Smile
Smile
Smile

C'mon and show us your teeth
And what you got underneath

Smile
Smile
Smile

You gotta smile
Smile
Smile

Just remember to smile
Smile
Smile
And turn the world around
Yeah

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
