You take my money
You take your drink
You think it's funny
And I hit your face

You got your Jesus
And I got my space
You got your reasons
And I got my case

Just got to sit your self down
To contemplate
Get yourself a nice cold beer
And drink yourself away
Celebrate nothing
You feel a-okay
You celebrate nothing
To feel a-okay

You think you're precious
I think you're shit
I kill father
Destroy his seed
I'm nothing rolled over
Destroy your dream

Just got to sit your self down
To contemplate
Get yourself a nice cold beer
And drink yourself away
You celebrate nothing
You feel a-okay
You celebrate nothing
To feel a-okay

Now when you break yourself down
Go this place
You give yourself no reason
To get off your case
And when you break it down again
Seen through this shit
You give yourself no reason
To live, through this

Mama give, me my medicine
Mama give me my medicine
Mama give me my medicine
The one that makes me feel taller
Mama give me my medicine
Mama give me my medicine,
The one that makes me feel so tall, tall
Like a tall tree
Mama give me my medicine
That make me feel like a tall tree
Mama give me my medicine
That make me feel like a tall tree
Mama give me my medicine
That make me feel like a tall tree

You celebrate nothing
You feel a-okay
You celebrate nothing
And you, feel a-okay

    The first verses of this song seem to be lashing out at somebody, just hating them, and encouraging them to become an alcoholic. The line "You got your Jesus and I got my space, you got your reasons and I got my case" is similar to some of the lyrics from Dose. The lyrics then seem to detail the person having a mental breakdown, and becoming addicted to a drug of some kind.

    the second line is supposed to be 'And think you're great". It does have similarities to Dose, and I think it's Richard attacking religion, and saying it offers as much comfort (and side effects) as alcoholism.

    It sounds like he is making fun of religion, but I will not argue the "chick hit by bottle" comments.

    "You've got your Jesus And I've got my space"

    to me this seems like a contrast between religion and science I think this whole song is about not thinking for yourself,people that go along with societies rules without ever asking why? Religious people are a perfect example of believing in something without knowing why, science is the quest for knowlege.

    "You get yourself A nice cold beer And drink yourself away You're celebrating nothing"

    an example of typical mindless behavior

    Basically, this song is about hating your own self.

    "I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my Home; I did not love my Father's voice..."

    I think there's a very sarcastic tone governing the chorus. He's not really propogating drinkiking, he's saying that it's a waste to be drinking to try and ignore inner problems.

    Then he relates this to the way we just take a pill to bury ourselves of our problems, instead of dealing with them (give me my medecine)!

    Ultimately, I think he is talking to himself, arguing with another part of himself.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
