Who's a hippy now?
I cut it off to make you proud,
Abuse my limbs until the sun goes down
I don't want to be alone again.

Got Jesus autograph
No handshake or pat on the ass
Your saving grace is talking fast
I don't want to be bored again
Am I ready to take that chance,
Put my faith in someone else?

Let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises

I'll make the brightness yours
So we can deny who we are
I'll love you but not today
The darkness fell like a shout.
Am I ready to take that chance,
Put my faith in someone else?

Let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises

Together we stand, we're at the bottom of the cove;
It looked like rain, but it felt like snow.
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
We'll dig our way out but we'll still say no.

The wound was king and how,
His whores turned to make him proud
His vision's clipped like wings and crowns
Lets use this photograph
He's never had the chance to believe in something else.

Let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises
We want to affect a change with voice and electrical noises

Together we stand, we're at the bottom of the cove;
It looked like rain, but it felt like snow.
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
Well, we'll dig our way out but we'll still say no.

Darkness fell like a shout;
The darkness fell like a shout;
Darkness fell like the shout;

We want to affect a change, with voice and electrical noises

Wherever we crash, we're gonna blame it on the old
Unique to the touch, and crippled to the bone
However we stand they'll be swinging from the ropes
Unfinished and young or unhappy and old

    With regards to your (?) parts of the lyrics...

    "Got Jesus' Autograph No handshake or pat on the ass His saving grace was talking fast"

    "The wound is king And how his whorses turn, they make him proud His vision's clipped like wings and crowns Let's use this photograph He's never had the chance to believe in something else"

    "Wherever we crash, we're gonna blame it on the old Unique to the touch and crippled to the bone However we stand they'll be swinging from the ropes Unfinished and young or unhappy and old"

    I think? :)

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."

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,
