Quiet down now, hush hush my friend.
Quiet down now, hush hush my friend.
When all the others left, when all the others left,
When all the others left, when all the others...
I knew you'd stick around, come here now.
I knew you'd stick around, come here now.
When all the others talked, when all the others talked,
When all the others talked, when all the others...
You'd always been my habit now.
Coloured bees, and stomach aches,
Your friend's in need, and lovers quakes.
My best friend, my, my very best friend,
My best friend, my, she never left my side.
So come here now sit. Quiet down. Come here now sit.
So lie down now, quiet down friend
Quiet down now, quiet down friend...
When all the others left, when all the others left,
When all the others left, when all the others...
I knew you'd stick around, come here now.
Come here now sit, so come here now.
When all the others talked, when all the others talked,
When all the others talked, when all the others...
You'd always been my habit now.
Coloured bees and stomach aches,
Yours friend's in need, and lovers quakes.
My best friend, my, my very best firned,
My best friend, my, she never left my side.
So lie down now, quiet down friend
Lie down now, lie down now sit.
My side so lie down and fight to find
My side so lie down and fight for my,
(quiet down now, hush hush my friend)
My side to lie down be good for my,
(come here now, come here now sit)
My side to lie down be good for my,
Quiet down now, hush hush my friend.
Come here now, come here now sit.
When all the others left, I knew you'd stick around.
When all the others talked, I knew you'd stick around.
Lie down now, lie down my friend.
Lie down now, hush hush my friend.
My best friend, my, my very best friend.
My best friend, my, my very best friend.

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.
