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.
well, i'm all dressed up, and i got no place to go.
my friends don't answer when i call them on the phone.
and i got no car, so i am stuck at home.
till someone picks me up, i will be all alone.
and my heart is breaking, and my back is aching.
and i know you wanna be there for me.
i know that you're the ride i need.
but you won't come over,
'cause you think it's over.
you might just be right here.
but i'm all dressed up, and i wanna hit the town.
the lights are shinning as bright when i'm not around.
so, if you get my call and you're in the neighbourhood,
stop by and say goodbye and do us both some good.
and my heart is breaking, and my back is aching.
and i know you wanna be there for me.
i know that you're the ride i need.
but you won't come over,
'cause you think it's over.
you might just be right here.
but i'm all dressed up.

and my heart is breaking, and my back is aching.
and my hands are shaking, this is my life in the making.
and i know you wanna be there for me.
i know that you're the ride i need.

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."
wow. i personally think this song is great. plain white t's rock. 1447272*
does this song have like a symbolic meaning to it or is he really like implying that he's all dressed up and doesn't have a ride?

HELP!!!
i need a bit of help.

every song and every bloody object remindes me of him.
what should i say to him or do?

I think this song is about a guy that is dressed up for a girl to go to the prom with him and they are getting ready and everything but they got in a really big fight before they went.

I agree with the dude above, about the guy who has a date andhe is all dressed up, nice and smart like, then his date dont show up and he finds it pointless that he is all dressed up.
BONG!
