We're goin' to the party and you never wanna leave it tonight,
Ya come and see the band, I know it means I should push it tonight,
You know it's just a feeling, but I know I'm gonna see her tonight,
Yeah, and everybody knows I'm never gonna get a sleep with tonight
She said when,
I said why,
Yeah, tonight!

We're goin' to a party and you never wanna leave it tonight,
You wanna see the band playin' music, bodies pushin' tonight,
Yeah, I know it's just a feeling that I know I'm gonna see her tonight,
And everybody knows you're gonna follow me around tonight,
She said when,
I said why,
Tonight, I went dry, yeah, tonight

And a gun in his hand
And he's looking at mine
And he two foot two
But you don't know where I am,
When you see what I've been through,
And he's phoning his cab
When he's seemingly fine
But he's seen me too,
But you don't know what you are when you see what I've been through,
She said when,
I said why,
Yeah, tonight!
She said when, I said why, Tonight, I went dry, yeah tonight

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."
