Went out walking I recall
Me and my best girl along the wall
In the long grass side by side
Where the big ships go gliding by, go gliding by
Skylark singing in the sun
Something told me she's the one
When I looked down into her eyes
I saw pictures of paradise, of paradise, of paradise
Every night you look so mean
Staring at your TV Screen
Back when we where seventeen
You turned me around Irene Irene
When the days got colder time went by
Dark cloud rising into the sky
I just sat there gazing on
Like a tower of Babylon, of Babylon
I went wandering far from home
Left my good girl all on her own
I went back there she got the power
See me through my darkest hour, my darkest hour, my darkest hour
Every night you look so mean
Staring at your TV Screen
I got lost inside a dream
You brought me back Irene Irene
People talking but they don't know
Where I've been to or where I'll go
World keep turning all things change
I love two girls I ain't ashamed, I ain't ashamed
All your loving it thrills me so
I can't go with you I just can't go
A thousand highways you don't live twice
Only one road to paradise, to paradise, to paradise
Every night you look so mean
Staring at your TV screen
Thinkin' about what might have been
I'll love you still Irene Irene

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”

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."
