Hell And Back

Metallica

There's nowhere else I can run to
She's wretched but she comforts, me
After everyone goes home, she's always there for me
And when the sun goes hellbound and the moon goes resurrect the night
I'll hide within her, not much good has come out of the light

After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will, run straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back

When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always re-turn to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight down

A lonely light in a window
Just longing for some company
Tragic, heartless and hateful
There's nothing as willing as she
And when the night has fallen, it falls hard and then it all begins
When she starts her calling, I feel my darkness growing from within

After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will, run straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back

When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always re-turn to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
I will, run straight to hell and back

I become two, we become one
Unbridled, unequaled, unholy, undone

The path is cut deep, the path is worn well
I follow my footsteps to thee walk of hell

They walk the path

Ooh, yeah
After everyone goes home
And I'm left here one my own
I will, run straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back

When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always re-turn to hell and back
Return to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back

I will run straight to hell and back
Straight down

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
