I try to think about rainbows
When it gets bad
You got to think about something
To keep from going mad

I try to think about big fat roses
When the ship starts going down
But my head is wicked jealous
Don't want to talk about it right now

Long distance, don't talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don't talk about
You without me, don't talk about
The past

In my head, it's only in my head
In my head, it's only in my head

There's just something about you
That gets me in a twist
And sometimes I think that cupid
Is just taking the piss

It only takes one though or idea
To send me in real deep
So if you think you're clever
Use the right words when you talk to me

Long distance, don't talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don't talk about
You without me, don't talk about
The past

In my head
It's only in my head (only in my head)
In my head
It's only in my head (only in my head)

In my head
It's only in my head (only in my head)
In my head
It's only in my head (only in my head)

I really think I have a problem
I really can't control myself
Why do I get so suspicious?
Do you want someone else?
'Cause everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else
Everybody wants everybody else

(Only in my head)
It's only in my head

In my head
It's only in my head (only in my head)
In my head
It's only in my head (only in my head)

Long distance, don't talk about
Ex-girlfriends, don't talk about
You without me, don't talk about
The past

Lets talk about the future
Lets talk about the wedding
Lets talk about Gwen Stefani
Let's talk about how much you like me
And all that

    I didn't really like this song until I saw them live. A lot of the new No Doubt is better live.

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,

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
