GENESIS 1 VERSE 20
Ralph McTell
Mother of Adam how can I conceive
The garden of light oh father of Eve
Lo something stirs your still waters move from the land
I see him turn twixt sea and earth see him stand
Vapour and forest leaf fern and trees
Volcano and rainstorm how slowly he breathes
What do you feel what colours before your eyes
Greatest of creatures do you see the sun rise.
Lava and brimstone in air where no bird has flown
Lake swamp and river skin of slippery stone
Night time and cooling the moon is changing too
Five days and lightening salt dried and whitening you
Thunder and rainbow flower fruit and spring
Above you the currents are moved by the leather of wings
Tendagaroo does the minowing sea have a plan
The time slips away and on the sixth day will come man.
Ralph McTell
Mother of Adam how can I conceive

What do you feel what colours before your eyes
Greatest of creatures do you see the sun rise.
Lava and brimstone in air where no bird has flown
Lake swamp and river skin of slippery stone
Night time and cooling the moon is changing too
Five days and lightening salt dried and whitening you
Thunder and rainbow flower fruit and spring
Above you the currents are moved by the leather of wings
Tendagaroo does the minowing sea have a plan
The time slips away and on the sixth day will come man.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
