This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Girls, when you've got a good love who's gonna treat you right
But another guy offers you a better life
Right away you start to swoon
Because he offers you the moon
Tell me, is riches worth more than love & affection?
Don't be steered in the wrong direction 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
You're just losin' a love that's true
For a love that might last a day or 2
Why gamble when you have what you need?
You might be losing everything, girls
The grass looks greener on the other side
But you just might be taken for a ride 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
(instrumental)
Come on & tell me, is riches worth more than love & affection?
Don't be steered in the wrong direction 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
Just as sure as the wind will blow
Fellas will come & fellas will go
Makin' promises they vow to keep
But chances are you'll be left to weep, girls
So if you have a guy that's good to you
Hold on tight, it's the thing to do, 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
(repeat & fade):
Hold on, hold on girls
'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now
But another guy offers you a better life
Right away you start to swoon
Because he offers you the moon
Tell me, is riches worth more than love & affection?
Don't be steered in the wrong direction 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
You're just losin' a love that's true
For a love that might last a day or 2
Why gamble when you have what you need?
You might be losing everything, girls
The grass looks greener on the other side
But you just might be taken for a ride 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
(instrumental)
Come on & tell me, is riches worth more than love & affection?
Don't be steered in the wrong direction 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
Just as sure as the wind will blow
Fellas will come & fellas will go
Makin' promises they vow to keep
But chances are you'll be left to weep, girls
So if you have a guy that's good to you
Hold on tight, it's the thing to do, 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush)
So hold onto what you've got
(repeat & fade):
Hold on, hold on girls
'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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,
