Well, it's three o'clock at the end of the day
Well, it's three o'clock at the end of the day
Well, it's three o'clock in the morning gray
Well, I'm alone and I'm very, very worried

Well, all the bottles of wine have ravaged my mind
All the bottles of wine have ravaged my mind
Yeah, all the bottles of wine have ravaged my mind
Well, another day's gone by, I'm worried

And the night, and the night, it is bitter and short
For I know that a new day is coming
Another day, another day, all alone and blue
Well oh, but for you, I've pursued nothing

Well, I dropped out of school to dwell on a dream
And now all the guilt is engulfing me

Well, I can't concentrate, I'm failing
Oh, where can she be?
Well, I'm alone and I'm very, very worried

And the night, and the night and it is bitter and short
For I know that a new day is coming
Another day, another day, all alone and blue
Well oh, but for you, I've pursued nothing

Well, I know that I've always felt this way
God, I know that it's always been this way
Since I was young, I've always felt this way
Well, do I fuck myself for the consistency?

And the night, and the night and it is bitter and short
For I know that a new day is coming
Another day, another day, all alone and blue
Well oh, but for you, I've pursued nothing
But for you, I've pursued nothing
But for you, I've pursued nothing

Well God, I know that I have stumbled
And I know I've not been sharp
And when I'm leaving this world behind
I won't bring another soul here to fall flat on their face
Or leave this world unkind

And the night, and the night and it is bitter and short
For I know that a new day is coming
Another day, another day, all alone and blue
Well oh, but for you, I've pursued nothing
But for you, I've pursued nothing
But for you, I've pursued nothing

    My Interpretation

    Ive Pursued Nothing would be a reference to wasting of time on a love that was never meant to be

    The prose clearly describes a man who has taken to drink heavily to compensate for his disappointment in love

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
