He spoke a script
Dipped in the sort of talk to make you keep at bay
It�s all a trick
The slicked back slimy arms have got a war to wage

He�s got a laugh like a crackling wire
And he wants to put the bite marks on you
He wants to put the bite marks on you
And you twist my guts

As the only thing as repelling as his invitations
Of a dusky serf
And he said �I am the conductor,
Put me in a terror pocket�

He never slipped
Master in a craft he swept through respectable
Drop a dirty hint if he thinks that he could impress you with the unacceptable

And he has turned through all the pages with his fingers
And covered them with goo
And he wants to put the bite marks on you
He wants to put them on you and it hurts my back

As the only thing that�s as heavy as the adoration
Is the days of hanging out on the town
And it�s been a long time around
And he frightened me to death when he said
�I am the conductor,
Put me in a terror pocket�

Cause he�s trying to give me a ticket to a competition
And I don�t know why the odds are stacked
As he�s rolling out the running track

    Lyric Correction

    This is a correction to my previous post, which this site will not let me delete.

    Oi! This song is a favourite worst nightmare to figure out. Any input? I've listened far too many times than it is sane to do so and I am still at a loss for this song's particularities. This is at least sorted out better than it was previously. Alex changes the lyrics too, making it impossible to pin down one way.

    He spoke a script Dipped in the sort of talk to make you keep the gaze It’s all a trick The slicked back slimy arms have got a war to wage

    He’s got a laugh like a crackling wire And he wants to put the bite marks on you He wants to put the bite marks on you And you twist my guts

    As the only thing that’s repelling as his invitations Are his excuses And he said I am the conductor, Put me in a terror pocket

    He did a stint Master in a craft He squint through his spectacle He’d drop a dirty hint if he thinks that he could (can) impress you with the unacceptable

    And he has turned through all the pages with his fingers And covered them with goo And he wants to put the bite marks on you He wants to put them on you and it hurts my back

    As (Because) the only thing that’s as heavy as the adoration Is the days of hanging out on his arm And he spilled with all this sounding alarm And he frightened me to death when he said I am the conductor, Put me in a (the) terror pocket

    Cause he’s trying to give me a ticket to a competition And I don’t know why (how) the odds are stacked As he’s rolling out the running track

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
