Oh, Marcello
How I wonder
The Madonna she tell the truth, no?
She's been saying "I'll have a baby"
"When he grow up he become a killer"

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood

Oh, Marcello
Never thought I'd really love you but I do so
My headwaiter's head on your platter
Just say the word and
Salome can kiss my gutters

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood
Understood, ooh

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood
Understood

Oh, Marcello
How I wonder
The Madonna when she speak, she tell the truth, no?
She's been saying "I'll have a baby"
"When he grow up he'll become a killer and kill everybody"

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood
Understood

Oh, Marcello!
Oh, Marcello!

    I never feel comfortable by giving such a specific interpretation to someone elses song, but in this one as in many other of reginas song, i feel it could be a satire on catholic customs, virgin marys cult, in this case italian mafia.

    if it were about mexican cartels it would be saying... "heeey juannito, how I wonder, la guadalupana when she speaks she tell the truth, no?" hahaha because here in mexico we do the "no?" question a lot as well as they do in italy, and the mexican cartels people are very well devoted to the virgin as well.

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."
