If you want I'll give you a clean cool buzz
Cocaine money, you're selling your blood down,
But you've got to be true to your friends
Everybody here, they know how it ends
With a boom

Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

Shoved into a tin can she stands on the subway it's Monday
Old man with a tin can in his hand
Wants money, it's ugly

Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

Have you seen me on T.V.?
My money makes me lonely"
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

If you want I'll give you a clean cool buzz
Cocaine money, you're selling your blood down,
But you've got to be true to your friends
Everybody here, they know how it ends
With a boom

Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

Wakes up on the way home, her day is over
He told her, "come home" on the telephone
Heard him say, come over just hold her

Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Bang bang bang
Boom boom boom

    i agree that this is a great tune-especially the version from 8/8/08 at the highline-however: i hear the rob verse differently-perhaps he (like steven tyler) changes it up from show to show What i hear: green water give you clean cool buzz cocaine money-sell all your blood down damn what you doin' to yourself you do to your friends everybody else will know how it ends with a boom

    but as we all know translating rob can be an inexact science

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."
