I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin
It's making me spin now, spinnin' within
Before I melt like snow
I say, "Hello, How do you do?"

I love the way you undress now, baby begin
Do your caress, honey, my heart's in a mess
I love your blue-eyed voice, like Tiny Tim shines through
How do you do? (How do you do?)

Well here we are cracking jokes in the corner of our mouths
And I feel like I'm laughing in a dream
If I was young I could wait outside your school
'Cause your face is like the cover of a magazine

How do you do (do you do) the things that you do?
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do? Did it ever make sense to you
To say bye, bye bye?

I see you in that chair with perfect skin
Well how have you been baby, livin' in sin?
Hey I gotta know, did you say hello?
How do you do? (How do you do?)

Well here we are spending time in the louder part of town
And it feels like everything's surreal
When I get old I will wait outside your house
'Cause your hands have got the power meant to heal

How do you do (do you do) the things that you do?
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do?, Did it ever make sense to you
To say bye, bye bye

Well here we are cracking jokes (How do you do?)
Well here we are spending time

How do you do (do you do) the things that you do?
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do? Did it ever make sense to you
To cry bye, bye bye?

How do you do (do you do) the things that you do?
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do? Did it ever make sense to you
To say bye, bye bye?

Yeah, how do you do (do you do) the things that you do?
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do? Did it ever make sense to you to say bye?

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."

Gentle Hour
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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
