A stack of lives I hardly know
Look in my mind a window pane blurry
These claws I have unmistakable
I always heal but I never stop hurting

I have no past, no sense of time
No safe place here and no finish line
I've put more loves in to the ground
Than any man can say he's found, here
And questioning everything inside
Has brought me now, to here, this is my life

Monday comes, fly to the Savage Land
Tuesday rooftop battles with a gang of Hand
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes until
Wednesday morn filled up with bullet wounds
Thursday night tearing up the Wrecking Crew
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes

Battles fought they never stop
When Creed appears it never goes sweetly
Sinister glares through his test vials
When Wilson speaks I always go crazy

There's no repast, no destiny
No time to waste with this weight on me
From Madripor to New York State
I'll never catch these ghosts I chase, fear
And questioning everything inside
Has brought me now, to here, this is my life

Monday comes, fly to the Savage Land
Tuesday rooftop battles with a gang of Hand
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes until
Wednesday morn filled up with bullet wounds
Thursday night tearing up the Wrecking Crew
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes

Until Friday night the Elf and I get drinking
Talk and share stories from long ago
People forgotten and things we can't let go
The weekend passes like a blur
Xavier's checking in to see if I'm doing fine
And Sunday's winding down, until

Monday comes, fly to the Savage Land
Tuesday rooftop battles with a gang of Hand
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes until
Wednesday morn filled up with bullet wounds
Thursday night tearing up the Wrecking Crew
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes

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,
