Wait. its time to wake up
im sorry pretty baby, but you're not the girl who wins this war

last call on the dance floor: hold on, loose control, these all unfold
[well its about time i turned you on
well its about time i got your attention
well its about time you heard this sing
well its about time you took a listen] x2

remember
when you stole the light
from this sin city
we came to bring it back
to paint it pretty
im a lush for love with a razorblade
and ive come to save the day
you said everything you wanted to hear, but i never get to say
your reflection is forever in my broken heart
dont you see our love is kinda like art
back again

well its about time i turned you on
well its about time i got your attention
well its about time you heard this sing
well its about time you took a listen
[last call on the dance floor] x2

waiting for you to come back
for you to walk right in and make me feel again

Wait. its time to wake up
im sorry pretty baby, but you're not the girl who wins this war

shes sitting there,
with her long hair,
trying to think of something to wear
she puts on makeup
her head is made up

out the door there she goes
kind of tired and she hopes
the night wont last long, but its so long

last call on the dance floor baby lets roll, into the stars tonight x3

i want to see the sunrise
waiting for your surprise
cannot believe my eyes
where have you been hiding out all this time x4

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,

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.
