They say music is the food of love
Let's see if you are hungry enough
Take a bite, take another, just like a good boy would
Get a sweet thing on the side
Home cooking, homicide
Side order, could be your daughter
Finger-licking good

Come on baby, eat the rich
Put the bite on the son of a bitch
Don't mess around, don't give me no switch
C'mon baby eat the rich
C'mon baby eat the rich

Sittin' here in a restaurant
Tell the waiter just what you want
Is that the meat, you wanted to eat
How would you ever know?
Hash browns an' bacon strips
I love the way that you lick your lips
No fooling, I can see you drooling
Feel the hunger grow

Come on baby, eat the rich
Put the bite on the son of a bitch
Don't mess around, don't give me no switch
C'mon baby eat the rich
C'mon baby eat the rich

Eat up, eat you, eat me
Eat two, get one free
Shetland pony, extra pepperoni
Just pick up the phone
Eat Greek, or eat Chinese
Eat salad, or scarf up grease
You're on the shelf, maybe eat yourself
Come on, bite my bone

Come on baby, eat the rich
Put the bite on the son of a bitch
Don't mess around, don't give me no switch
C'mon baby eat the rich
C'mon baby eat the rich

    This song was actually written specifically as the title track for the movie "Eat The Rich", in which Lemmy plays one of the characters. The sound track features about half a dozen Motörhead tracks.

    The story is (basically) about a restaurant (called 'Bastards') that serves the meat from a bunch of rich patrons who were killed there. This song, while full of obvious innuendo, is a direct depiction of the movie's premise.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."
