I was born today
There were strangers there
Cut me off
And left me in a chloroformed cell

I yelled and I yelled
But nobody cared
First day of school
I lost my front teeth

Boys beat me up cause
I wasn't one of them
I fought til I bled
And everyone was scared

Yeah everyone was scared
It isn't my fault
That I'm strange
I wasn't good at kickball

I wasn't good at girls
I used to make a habit of peeing in my pants
Cause I was scared and I couldn't dance
And nobody cared but I learned

Today I'm glad to say
I'm just like to rest
Anonyme is best
Anonyme is best

And life grows stranger every day
Has anybody dared to be more that dead
It isn't my faul
That I'm strange

Mother died today
Or maybe yesterday
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Got to ask my boss to let me go

At the funeral they expected me to cry
Well I didn't
I don't know
I don't know

Everybody's staring at me now
What's gone to their heads
It isn't my fault
That I'm strange

I'm strange I'm strange I'm strange
I'm the stranger

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
