What are you asking me for
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
There's nothing left as you can see

When the beatings all began
We begun to scream and run
But the current pulled us down
And the smallest ones would drown
Now we sit and drink all day
And sing their songs of praise

What are you asking me for
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
There's nothing left as you can see

There was something in the waves
That arrived to take our place
We were broken one by one
By angels in the sun

Now we sit and drink all day
Telling tales of yesterday
And it always ends the same

What are you asking me for
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
I thought I'd made it crystal clear

We learned a lot about the art of contradiction
We learned a lot about the company we keep
We learned a lot about what keeps us all together
I'm with you until the end

What are you asking me for
What are you asking me for
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me...

Let the beatings now begin

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,
