The sun crawls in
and I"m alone
in my hotel..

I think I'm older think I"m sorta feel the drugs drain away from me now
I wish I wouldn't do half the things that make me miss you
If I was home I could roll I could hold I do miss you now

I know were young but I don't wanna stick around to see the end this time
I know I'm running from ya for my life but I can tell you that I'm fine

Cause now everything for the low
I need the money in full
I need that twenty to show
I have three weeks on the road
I need the zens antidote
I need to make it back home
Yea... and kick it with you...

I stared into the mirror
Missed my flight I don't give a fuck about ya
And now your telling me I gotta fix this part that you screwed me into
And when I touch down tomorrow if you call me up I'm out
I've had a couple of shots plus one more whats one more I'm out
I'm high I'm right no breast pills only fish scaled around me.

I know were young but I don't wanna stick around to see the end this time
I know I'm running from ya for my life but I can tell you that I'm fine

Cause now everything for the low
I need the money in full
I need that twenty to show
I have three weeks on the road
I need the zens antidote
I need to make it back home
Yea... and kick it with you...

Cause now everything for the low
I need the money in full
I need that twenty to show
I have three weeks on the road
I need the zens antidote
I need to make it back home
Yea... and kick it with you...

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,
