I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose, and I'll sing the blues if I want
I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like, if it's wrong or right, it's alright

Always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus and cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself, it don't cost much

Free to be whatever you
Whatever you say, if it comes my way, it's alright
You're free to be wherever you
Wherever you please, you can shoot the breeze if you want

It always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus and cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself, it don't cost much

Free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose, and I'll sing the blues if I want

Here in my mind
You know you might find
Something that you
You thought you once knew
But now it's all gone
And you know it's no fun
Yeah, I know it's no fun
Oh, I know it's no fun

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose, and I'll sing the blues if I want
I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose, and I'll sing the blues if I want

Whatever you do, whatever you say
I know it's alright
Whatever you do, whatever you say
I know it's alright

    i love this song so much i love the way that when most bands get emotional in an upset way oasis are like "im gonna be how i want and not what you want me to be.im gnna follow my dreams and thats rockn roll" i just love the optimism in their songs and this along with rock n roll star and roll with it is probably the best example of that

    LONG LIVE THE GALLAGHERS!!!!!!

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."
