This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Could you believe
The same old story
It never bores me
Though I've heard it all before.
Her name was Georgia
And she was gorgeous.
When she adored ya
The whole room would get to know.
Like a movie that is filled with lust
Coming at you with a double D bust.
At the bed of a wounded soldier
In a rush cause she's gettin' older.
Hanging out in the fancy bars
With the boys who can play guitar.
Listen up 'cause I've got to warn ya
She's gonna make it out in California.
Hey you what's a good girl like you
Doin' in this crazy world?
Where's the good gone girl?
Dance, dance to the life you wanted
When you were only seventeen
With your good girl dream.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh good gone girl
Could you believe
The same old phonies
Those painted ponies
That you've ridden all before.
Her name was April
But she was hateful.
Enough to make you
Want to run right out the door.
I can tell you what you want the most
Hang around for the champagne toast.
When the end of the night gets tricky
Don't you know that beggars can't be picky?
Lookin' out for a man who's golden
Doesn't matter if he's old, he's rollin'.
Coming at you like a desperate hunter
Sugar daddy but he's just a munter.
Hey you what's a good girl like you
Doin' in this crazy world?
Where's the good gone girl?
Dance, dance to the life you wanted
When you were only seventeen
With your good girl dream.
Dance, dance to the life you wanted
When you were only seventeen
With your good girl dream.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh good gone girl
She's walkin' around all over the town.
Needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down.
She's happy to choose somebody to use.
Good gone girl she's got nothin' left to lose.
She's walkin' around all over the town.
Needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down.
She's happy to choose somebody to use.
Good gone girl she's got nothin' left to lose.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This probably isn't completely accurate, but this is how I view the song.
Starts out with a girl named Georgia. Lives in a presumably small town where everyone loves her; she's sweet, beautiful, and talented. People there have no doubt that she'll move to California and become famous. So she does. [This is where my interpretation becomes false; I don't know if April is supposed to be another person, but I like it this way, haha] She changes her name to April and, while she's in California, her success leads to her corruption. She's living a completely fake life and when she loses her fame, she has nothing left. She had been relying on her money and fame and now that that's gone, she'll settle for whatever [and whoever] she can get. All she wants is to be able to go back to when she was young, innocent, and had the hope of a great life ahead of her.
