Say what you mean, mean what you say.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.
Think about the words that you're using.
Speak for yourself, say what's on your mind,
Think about the life that you're choosing
Whenever you need somebody,
Whenever you're looking
For somebody who knows,
When trouble won't leave you alone.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.
Look into the world of tomorrow.
Say what you want, want what is true.
Check out of that room full of sorrow.
I'm ready to take you with me,
I'm ready to be the one
Who's there by your side
When you've just got nowhere to hide.

And oh,
The angels will walk with you
Whenever you need them.
Yeah, the glory that comes with love
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
And oh,
The treasure that waits for us
Whenever we need it
Now I just can't hold it back,
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The work and the pain, the thunder and the rain,
The word of the Earth has been spoken.
The bird on the wing, free as the wind,
Knowing that the spell has been broken.
Now you can laugh with meaning,
Now you can throw away
The cloak of disguise
As you turn your face to the sky.

The blue of the night, the secrets of the light,
The touch of the hand that can lead you.
I know you recognise the shiver of surprise,
Then you realise that he's seen you.
Into the strange unknown of love
Standing before me
How your nakedness shows,
Now I just can't leave you alone.

And oh,
I'm ready to take you now
Whenever you want to.
Yeah, my heart is there for you,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And oh,
The glory that comes with love
For always and ever, now,
Now you can feel me love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.
Tell me about the love that you're feeling.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.

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."
