I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn't seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me

Then I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She could make me happy (happy, happy)
(She could make me very happy)
Flowers in her hair (in her hair)
Flowers everywhere (everywhere)

(I love the flower girl) (I love the flower girl)
Oh, I don't know just why
She simply caught my eye
(I love the flower girl) (I love the flower girl)
She seemed so sweet and kind
She crept into my mind
(To my mind) (to my mind)

I knew I had to say hello (hello, hello)
She smiled up at me (hello, how do you do)
And she took my hand
And we walked through the park alone

And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She had make me happy (happy, happy)
(She had make me very happy)
Flowers in her hair (in her hair)
Flowers everywhere (everywhere)

(I love the flower girl) (I love the flower girl)
Oh, I don't know just why
She simply caught my eye
(I love the flower girl) (I love the flower girl)
She seemed so sweet and kind
She crept into my mind
(To my mind) (to my mind)

Suddenly, the sun broke through (see the sun)
I turned around, she was gone (where did she go)
And all I had left
Was one little flower in my hand

But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She had make me happy (happy, happy)
(She had make me very happy)
Flowers in her hair (in her hair)
Flowers everywhere (everywhere)

(I love the flower girl) (I love the flower girl)
Was she reality
Or just a dream to me
(I love the flower girl) (I love the flower girl)
Her love showed me the way
To find a sunny day
(Sunny day) (sunny day, sunny day)

(I love the flower girl) (I love the flower girl)
Was she reality
Or just a dream to me

    This song always reminds me of a girl I was in love with back in middle school (1995). :(

    Now that I'm my late 20's, I still think about her...

    Its has kind of a sexual meaning, like "make me happy" and "sitting in the rain". The way he delivers it just makes me think about Sex, Idk?

    one of the few songs where the title isn't alluded to in the song itself - the Cowsills, overall, were and are pretty talented and a couple of them stlill are doing music - the Partridge Family Show was a cheap take-off on this real family band

    The Partridge Family was actually written about The Cowsill's and was originally going to have the Cowsill's in the show, but the producers wanted Shirley to play the mom and the Cowsill kids said that they would not do the show with the replacement mom. As a side note, the dad wasn't dead. He was their manager and had been a Naval Officer. So he kept his kids in line strictly and used their musical talent as a family bond and to keep the kids always very busy and away from any trouble of that era! (The 60's!) As if you can keep teens out of trouble in the 60's! Scotty

    The Flower Girl is Femme Fatale...She is 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci'...She is a Dragon Princess and this is the retelling of the legend Of Tunbridge Wells. This boy has been sucked in, chewed up and spit out...a mere mortal...now she is gone...he is left behind...fucked for life.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
