Pack your bags we're leaving out of town
Wear that big black scarf wrapped around your pretty face
I'm not gonna stand here hopelessly while I see you cry
Leave those mess we'll jump in to the car
Roll the windows down get your senses back to you
And put out cigarette that thing will kill you slowly

And yeah it only takes two hours from here
Yeah when we get there we'll write our brand new story

We're going to a place I know where I was born
The city of flowers been waiting so long
Life too short you could've been shot
Remember this time leave all your troubles behind

All your life you've waited for a time when someone comes
To get your feet back on the ground
That'll be someone to help just like in that Beatles song
So here we go we're going to a place
At the rainbows end to put some colors back on you
Let me be the gold and I will put the shine on you

And yeah we only have two exits to go
Yeah when we get there the pages will start turning

We're going to a place I know where I was born
The city of flowers been waiting so long
Life too short you could've been shot
Remember this time leave all your troubles behind

And all the lies you heard before keep coming back to you
They Linger on the places you've longing to forget
Well I won't lie it won't be easy
Sometimes they're back knocking on your door
That now you tell them you do not live here anymore

We're going to a place I know where I was born
The city of flowers been waiting so long
Life too short you could've been shot
Remember this time leave all your troubles

This place I know where I was born
The city of flowers been waiting so long
Life too short you could've been shot
Remember this time leave all your troubles behind
Ha
Ho

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."

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.
