Sims:
I'm in your garden now,
I picked them flowers out,
I went too far right now,
I meant we bottomed out,
You dig for higher ground,
You hit the fire now,
No time for stopping tore the wires out.

Dessa:
Ive got this music in my head,
Ive got this hole in my chest,
Ive got this bird in my hands,
That looks like its been crushed to death.
But its a players game,
Any other wicked token,
Keep one beneath your tongue for when your best gets broken.
I swallowed my tongue,
I bided my time,
Trying to get just this one thing right,
By the book but the hook just sends Im shook,
God knows Ill always bite.
Cause part of the fun is the road rash (yeah)
Feeling the gravel go past (yeah)
And I don't care what they say,
Theres no such thing as a clean break.

Sims
Youre too smart to say what you think
And Im too real not to say what I feel,
But when it starts to sink,
Ill grab the wheel,
Ill keep on steering for you,
Ill keep on steering for you.

Reap out the end if I could,
She walked with vengeance, walks good
She wants my head up on wood,
Lopping off the chopping block,
Shoulda stopped,
And watching red flags coming,
The red things a running,
Always heavy, heavy drops to the floor,
Locking the door,
And thats it,
Do't let her in,
No veteran,
Hello though, the L-O-V-O
?
Back in the red again,
Latched to a skeleton
Old friend, relax and just settle in,
Enjoy that, bad medicine
Push it to the limits,
Good beginnings are the toughest ones to finish.

Dessa:
I found your pale faced blue lipped God,
Beneath the kitchen table.
Starving, and eating paper,
He showed me what you wrote and what you'd asked.
Love,
Nothing can live on prayers like that,
Love.

Its not vengeance and it's not bloodlust,
Justice is just a rule of law,
So hold down the magician,
The beautiful assistant,
Should get her turn with the saw.

Sims
Perocet, gauze,
She working them claws,
Only purpose to draw more bad blood,
Thats a sad war love,
You know that though,
You know those chains were self-imposed
Your words, my stinging molars,
Sing it slow,
Ill curse it while your world is sinking lower

Dessa
Rewind and watch it go backwards,
From last lines to first words,
The flash goes back in the camera,
the flask back in the handbag,
Dont ask,
How after one phone call.
He hit two lovebirds with only one stone wall

Sims
Valentines day at the dead letter office
Looking for my girl like yellow lead better, 214
She said she left to find the meaning of life,
Whatever that means,
I wonder where shes sleeping tonight.

I found your pale faced blue lipped God,
Beneath the kitchen table.
Starving, and eating paper,
He showed me what you wrote and what youd asked,
(Too smart to say what you think)
Love,
(Im too real not to say what I feel)
Nothing can live on prayers like that,
(When it starts to sink,)
Love.

I grab the wheel,
Ill keep on steering for you,
Ill keep on steering for you.

Im in your garden now,
I picked them flowers out,
I went too far right now,
I meant we bottomed out,
You dig for higher ground,
You hit the fire now,
No time for stopping tore the wires out.
(Wires out)
Im in over my head,
Over my head,
You dig me deep, deep, deep,

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."

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
