There's a hole in the wall
There's a light down the hall
There's a pest in the system
So we'll surely see it stall

There's a knife in my pouch
And a hammer in my belt
There's a pot on the fire
So they joy's yet to be felt

There's a home, there's a well,
There's a ringin' of the bell
So tonight we feast on treasures
That they could never sell

Spirit Satan, spirits fly
Through the windows see the sky
Where the moon calls out for slumber
But mischief, joy and might

So our weapons seem not much to show
But they don't kill, they only help us grow
No, they don't kill

We've got our weapons, we brew a mighty ale
The dead are dancing on the graves as drums and fiddles wail
We've our weapons, we bring them to the stones
The rituals were beyond words of the wedding of earth and soul

Hey!

There's a knock at the door
And I wonder who it's for
You got your walking stick ready
They're still at different shores

With a mind in our heads
And a heart in our chests
With the world at our boots
Our hands hold the rest

I've seen the towers, they build on and up
I've got the mirth already in my cup
I've felt the winds, they try to bottle up and sell
I've walked an earth that they could never kill
No, we won't kill

There's a hood around my shoulders
And a banjo in my hands
As the notes rise like smoke rings
With thee shall we dance

This is the flicker through the window
It is warm in here, it beckons
Well, outside bites the winter air
Inside you'll find our weapons, weapons, weapons, haha

We've got our weapons, we brew a mighty ale
The dead are dancing on the graves as drums and fiddles wail
We've our weapons, we bring them to the stones
The rituals were beyond words with the wedding of earth and soul

Hey!

So our weapons seem not much to show
But they don't kill, they only help us grow
So our weapons seem not much to show
But they don't kill, they only help us grow

So our weapons seem not much to show
But they don't kill, they only help us grow
So our weapons seem not much to show
But they don't kill, they only help us grow

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
