Call me as your acquaintance
You have grown impatient waiting for the spark
Of something special, but it's not
There, I talk when I get nervous
I'm glad you're bored, your dogs are weak
And walk about when we run out of nouns and verbs
I have not impressed you yet
You won't have to seond-guess your first impression
Everybody understands the art
It's fine not to be with you
And if I'm not at all, it's not a call you get to make
It's not your call, it's not your call

But you can think it over
You have thrown me under
It's psychosomatic
You can have it
You can think it over
You begin to wonder
If it is a call you get to make, it's not yours

Cling to all of your convictions
I have a prediction that the knotting in your gut
Will never slow or stop
And thank you for not sharing
I am no load-bearing boy, I blister and I blunt
I never slow or stop
I have not impressed you yet
You won't tell your friends a thing I don't respect
Everybody understands the art
It's fine not to be with you
And if I'm not at all, it's not a call you get to make
It's not your call, it's not your call

But you can think it over
You have thrown me under
It's not democratic
You can have it
You can think it over
You begin to wonder
If it is a call you get to make, it's not your call

If you got bored, it's not my fault
It never will be
It isn't now and never was and
Please don't talk, you never called
But it doesn't faze me
Just a bit, it kind of hurts, not at all

If it is a call you get to make, it's not yours
But you can think it over
You have thrown me under
So melodramatic
You can have it
You can think it over
You begin to wonder
If it is a call you get to make, it's not yours
But you can think it over
You have thrown me under
It's not democratic
You can have it
You can think it over
You begin to wonder
If it is a call you get to make, it's not your call

Don't you call

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
