Hitchhiker by the side of the road.
You climbed into his truck so he could bring you home,
but when your pupils took a mallet to his crooked teeth,
well, his tongue swelled up and and his bowels released,
and you flashed a tiny smile. Your karma gleamed.
He threw up blood and guts, fell to his knees.

Beauty, truth, don't relent.
Come and slay him again.
You blaze bright and he needs you. He needs you.
Living under his thumb,
tied up in the kitchen.
I'm alive, and I need you, girl.

You know, you know,
with a look like that you could kill someone.
You know, you know,
with a look like ythat, a look like that

He was the serial killer of all my hopes and dreams.
Like every model and actor, not pretty as they seem.
He had a habit, a damnit for every "God" he spoke.
He filled his core of coal with a winding acrid smoke,
so when you spread like a glow, a radiated echo,
to cleanse the city, we need you, we need you
On my trail, leave a clue, so I can gleam and pursue.
You know just what to do
Girl, you know just what to do.

You know, you know,
with a look like that you could kill someone.
You know, you know,
with a look like that, a look like that

She spent her time with the hellhounds
soaking up what blood she could find.
The kind of girl with two talons for heels
and the price of her love on your mind.
My dark twin, what a wretch. What a mess.
Glimmering with fetching disease.
You came into my life, swallowed her, ate her up,
so you cut her from me.

You know, you know,
with a look like that you could kill someone.
You know, you know,
with a look like that, a look like that
You know, you know,
with a look like that you could kill someone.
You know, you know,
with a look like that, a look like that

Every time you lift me higher,
smothering my substance supplier.
No mercy. Set him on fire.
You're consuming me.

    I haven't read into this song that much but I think it might be about the relationship of Max & Sherri and how they have helped each other to "kill" each others demons/"evil twin".

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,

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.
