He was a boy - he was a fine child
He had the leather boots
And the riding crop
In Jerusalem

Oh Sammy
My hap flap slappy clam ma'am
We've come
To take you home

But Sammy where are you
Sammy where are you
They said - said you're a star who
Recognized to the other side

Oh Sammy could you be my bride
What's that?
What's to be with you?
Have to kiss

Those who would kill you
Have to try for the other side
Oh... can you live my life?
Sammy where are you

Where were you going to?
What were you going through
Satanic Black Jew
Coo coo cahchoo

Waffle bucket brigade
Consorting with the queen of the dead
Billy Boy
Timmy Toy

Jimmy Joy
Joe
Oh Sammy
My slap hap pappy Ma'am

We've come to take you home
Kneeling at the altar
Rolling like a log
Drinking with the Rat Pack

Barking like a dog
We've come to admire you
Not even Frank could fire you
Oh Sam

We've come to take you home
With your shining teeth of gold
And your soul you said you sold
We've come to take you there

With your shining teeth of gold
And your soul they said you sold
You said you sold you said they sold
For rock and roll

Whoa yeah
With your shining teeth of gold
And your soul you said you sold
Into my little pocket

We put it all away
Save you up for another day
I've come to buff your slab
I know it makes you mad

Tiny little mice nibbling on your gonads
Tiny belly button is an inny and an outty
And a shouty shout at home

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
