Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
There's blood in the streets
It's up to my ankles
(She came)
There's blood on the streets
It's up to my knee
(She came)
Blood on the streets
In the town of Chicago
(She came)
Blood on the rise
It's following me
Just about the break of day
She came and she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
(She came)
Blood in the streets
Runs a river of sadness
(She came)
Blood in the streets
It's up to my thigh
(She came)
Yeah, the river runs down
The legs of the city
(She came)
The women are crying
Red rivers of weeping , yeah
She came in town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair, in her hair
Pick it up
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile egg-shell mind
Blood in the streets
In the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs
And the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love
In the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of
Phantastic L. A., yeah
Blood screams her brain
As they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born
In the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of
Mysterious union
There's blood in the streets
It's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets
It's up to my knee
Blood in the streets
Of the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise
It's following me, yeah
Come on!
It's up to my ankles
(She came)
There's blood on the streets
It's up to my knee
(She came)
Blood on the streets
In the town of Chicago
(She came)
Blood on the rise
It's following me
Just about the break of day
She came and she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
(She came)
Blood in the streets
Runs a river of sadness
(She came)
Blood in the streets
It's up to my thigh
(She came)
Yeah, the river runs down
The legs of the city
(She came)
The women are crying
Red rivers of weeping , yeah
She came in town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair, in her hair
Pick it up
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile egg-shell mind
Blood in the streets
In the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs
And the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love
In the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of
Phantastic L. A., yeah
Blood screams her brain
As they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born
In the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of
Mysterious union
There's blood in the streets
It's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets
It's up to my knee
Blood in the streets
Of the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise
It's following me, yeah
Come on!

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
this is disgusting. smash mouth suck.. this is as bad as when avril lavigne covered chop suey by system of a down.. has anyone heard that? it was painful to listen to :'(.. anyway i havent heard this version of peace frog, but im still disgusted.. the doors were the greatest band ever.. smash mouth are just pathetic :)
Oh shut up! You haven't even heard the song and you say it sucks! Why did you even post?
I think it's a great version of peace frog, harwell puts his rough vocal twist in it and it sounds great.
Yeah, all those guys who did the songs on "Stoned Immaculate" were pretty awesome. I just bought the CD 'cause I wanted to hear John Lee Hooker sing "Roadhouse Blues", but I love this CD now.
