It's always what you want
And never what we need
I thought that we'd agreed
That we'd share a seat in the shade
And look out onto the sea
As far as we can see

You're always what I want
But ever out of range
Some things just never change
Like my longing to be with you
In our place out by the beach
But you're still out of reach

And I still say that we belong together and
Will you please be mine forever?
You'll never be alone
No more waiting by the phone
For me to call you to see how your day went
I'll call you from a room in our apartment
With our bodies entwined, no the pleasure's all mine

When you call me, it brightens my day
But if you're with me, what more could I say than
I'm forever in your arms
To be captured by your charm
We could drive down to a local museum
Or just drive across the country
Away from what's stressful in our lives
You know I would enjoy a life here with you

I'll still call you up on the phone
Even when you're here with me
But only to be funny

And we'll laugh about silly things
And we'll drive out to the beach
With you always in my reach

And I've always known we're meant for each other
And I'm not right for any other
Please don't let me live my fear
And swear you'll always be here for me
When I'm alone and I need you
(And I swear I'll always be here)
Don't let me ever shed a tear
(Follow me wherever I lead you)
Let's live a life of ease
And spend the rest of your life here with me

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
