She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens
She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies

She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

I see you live on Love Street
There's this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

    I honestly think this song doesn't have much to it besides that it's a message like any other of his song's and in this one he is basically saying is that she's too attached to him and he feels she loves him wayyy more than he loves her, she's just so clingy and in love like in a big daze with him.

    "She has wisdom and knows what to do" Meaning she's a smart girl, she shouldn't get swept off her feet that easy. Also just throwing it out there idk if this is true or not but i heard Pam had a Heroin problem. "She has me and she has you" and maybe she would tell him im going out and she would really go do Heroin and he secretly knew about this but didn't say much. "There's this store where the creatures meet I wonder what they do in there" Sarcasm much?

    Love Street does refer to Rothdell Trail, an offshoot of Laurel Canyon that has apartments situated behind the Canyon Country Store, the store where the "creatures meet". The line "She has robes and she has monkeys", probably is "read" as "She has robes and she has monkeys (who are) lazy diamond studded flunkees, meaning that Pamela was probably hanging with very greasy types that Jim did not appreciate her hanging with, heroin being Pam's drug of choice. Pam was a very strong headed individual, which either attracted Jim or trapped him. Either way, she was it for him, though they both screwed around somewhat. And there is sarcasm in this song, in the way that Jim says he likes it "so far". This was probably their relationship. "Summer Sunday and a year" confuses me though.

    So says in the biography of Jim Morrison -"No One Here Gets Out Alive"- jIm and Pamela got a new apartment in Laurel Canyon, on Rothdell Trail, which is the place this song is written about. "Like all other songs about or dedicated to Pamela, there was a hesitancy, a refusal to make a final commitment, a biting sting at the end"

    I encourage anyone and everyone who has been a doors fan and/or morrison fan to read this book, it is unbelievable, great literature.

    The book No One Here Gets Out Alive" should be called "Nothing Here But a Bunch of Lies" although the story about it regarding Pam is basically true.

    This is probably my favorite doors song, even if it isn't their best song. It is soooo hard to choose just one best doors song.

    The words " she has robes and she has monkeys" was orignally "she has robes and she has Junkies" referring yes, to Pam, where she lived if you have ever seen the Doors movie.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
