I used to get sick with solitude
I was always better in the multitude
But now I like it up here all alone in my ivory tower
Hi ho at the end of my rope
I watch it all through a telescope
I think, I'd have a better chance to see the Pope
I get so bored with his shtick and his mini minute dick
And all his high and mighty shit, I'm a witch
Well, well, well a wish wanna throw it in a ditch
I'm concentratin' on the big laugh
You just acting like that damn old riff raff
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
I'm so sick of your Jersey rap
Your slab rat white as a tic-tac
Why don't you take a dirt nap
You make me laugh and I know who I'm laughin' at
Big Jersey hoo-haa
Like your style, like your freedom of speech
Like your dirty thoughts, like your cream of wheat
Tuesday is out
Never may be great, level down and read 'em
From the garden state, this is a Jersey plate
Saturday in pretty drivin' in the city
Your boom is a distortion
Your act is a contortion
The perfume and pretension
Your hair in invention
Ha, ha, ha the hive is hummin'
I thought, I heard it all
But there's still more comin'
Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?
Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?
Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?
Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?
Put it in, put it in, why don't you put it in?
Put it in, put it in
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
You said your name was what
What kind of a name is that?
Shooting past me on the turnpike
Should have told you to take a hike
But there was somethin'
I don't know what
That I guess I kind of like, that nasty attitude
Mediterranean lastitude
I guess you did give me a rush
Yeah, you gave me a thrill
Felt so hot and flushed
I even had to take a pill
And your pattern yeah, your method yeah
The way you deliver long and slow
The way you get your percussion goin'
Goin' strong and it's my turn to be blowin'
Yeah, singin' my song
You think you know me
Think again
Who's your friend?
Who put this freak flag in the mail?
Why you sending me this pig tail?
You back in jail
I got your post card sayin'
How it is in that pen your in
Signed don't forget me, lot's of love from adrenaline
Give it a rest, give it a rest
You got one dimension pure pretension
Cross the river start to shiver
Over to the big smoke, and it's no joke
I told you, one more word from you
About Jersey and you're dead
Shakedown baby
And I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
Shakedown baby
I don't wanna have to see
What you got hidin' in your body cavity?
Shakedown baby
Let me lick that, uh, uh
Can I kiss that? No
Let me kiss that
Let me lick that, come on
Let me lick that
Uh, huh, it might be too sweet
It won't be too sweet

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
