Jesus, I

Jesus, i've taken my cross
i'll leave and follow me
jesus, i've taken my cross
i'll leave and follow me

destitutes, despise, forsaken
i'll leave and follow me
i'll leave and follow me
jesus

perish every fool division
all i've sought and hope to know
yell out which is my commission
god and heaven i'm on my own
god and heaven i'm on my own

man mad trouble to distress me
to drive this heart to the cross
man made trouble to distress me
to drive my heart to the cross
resolute, reborn, reborn
reborn, reborn, reborn, reborn

jesus, i've taken my cross
i'll leave and follow me
jesus, i've taken my cross
i'll leave and follow me

perish every fool division
all i've sought and hope to know
yell out which is my commission
god and heaven i'm on my own

i'm waiting for my man
26 hours in my hand
hey white boy
what you doin' downtown
hey white boy
what you doin' chasing all the pretty women around

downtown, downtown, downtown
gonna hitch a ride
downtown, downtown, downtown
gonna hitch a ride

hitchin' a ride
hitchin' a ride
hitchin' a ride
itchin' to die
hitchin' a ride
itchin' to die
hitchin' a ride
itchin' to die

jesus

    lamby has an interesting point not sure whether it's right but something to think about. the person who posted this song got lots of the lyrics wrong. It's an obscure old hymn in an antique religious book that Billy bought. The song is awesome - 14 minutes of prog-rock perfection. JxPx i agree with you. I doubt Billy Corgan is a Christian, but if youre that anti-Christian that youd stop listening if he did, youve got problems

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
