It couldn't happen to you
You know it never comes true
You don't believe
You think you're all on your own.
What are you trying to prove?
It's easy, it's easy for me
I thought I'd never be led by the heart or the hand
I didn't believe
But now I'm beginning to find that now I really don't mind
With you I'm discovering me
I'm suddenly free ('ly free!)
I never thought that

I would sacrifice the kind of life that I know (I know, I know)
Sacrifice yesterday for all of our tomorrows (tomorrow, 'morrow!)
Sacrifice everything, beg steal or borrow (borrow, borrow)
Sacrifice! (sacrifice)

I never thought I could change all the things that I do
That is 'till I met you
And now it isn't so strange my life has been rearranged
It's suddenly true
We were two of a kind believing lovers were blind
Too blind to see the truth
But now I've opened my eyes and I can see through the lie
And now that I do
Looking at you (at you)
No more pretending

I could sacrifice the kind of life that I know (I know, I know)
I'd sacrifice yesterday for all of our tomorrows (tomorrow, 'morrow!)
Sacrifice everything, beg steal or borrow (borrow, borrow)
I'd sacrifice

I can daydream
I can make-believe
I know it's not the real thing, I remember
All the one night stands
As love without the feeling
But now that I see the changes in me
There's no more pretending

I could sacrifice the kind of life that I know (I know, I know)
I'd sacrifice yesterday for all of our tomorrows (tomorrow, 'morrow!)
I could sacrifice the kind of life that I know (I know, I know)
I'd sacrifice yesterday for all of our tomorrows (tomorrow, 'morrow!)
I'd sacrifice everything, beg steal or borrow (borrow, borrow)
I'd sacrifice

I can daydream
I can make believe
I know it's not the real thing, I remember
All the one night stands
As just another sacrifice

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
