This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
For millions of years, in millions of homes
A man loved a woman, a child it was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funking house
Dishes in the sink
The tv's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like humans do
I work and I sleep and I dance and I'm dead
I'm eatin, I'm laughin and I'm lovin myself
I never watch tv except when I'm stoned
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funking house
Dishes in the sink
The tv's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funking house
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin in on a woman and a man
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
A man loved a woman, a child it was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funking house
Dishes in the sink
The tv's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like humans do
I work and I sleep and I dance and I'm dead
I'm eatin, I'm laughin and I'm lovin myself
I never watch tv except when I'm stoned
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funking house
Dishes in the sink
The tv's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
So slip inside this funking house
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin in on a woman and a man
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."

i got it from windows XP too..and im pretty glad cuz its an awesome song...not only the music but of course the lyrics...its just painting a picture of us humans basically
yeah i'm not sure if he says "wiggle while you work" or if he says "tv's in the pad" but that's what it sounds like, so whatever, lol
I thought it said, "TV's in repair" which would make this song very similar to my growing up with a working mom. It was hard for her to keep up with the housework so there were dishes in the sink and the floor might not have been vacuumed and the rooms upstairs not cleaned and our TV broke many times. And I am almost positive that it's wiggle while you work. Maybe it's a song about a dysfunctional family...the radio edit (I guess it comes standard with all Windows Media Player XP's?) changed the lyric watching TV while stoned to "We're eating off plates and kiss with our tongues"...boy if that ain't dysfunctional....
Incest in a family surely is.... I got this from the XP Windows Media Player, I think it's pretty good...
yeah it is "TVs in repair"
anyway... i was in school last year and had to do a power point presentation on the conservative and liberal ideas of family for a political science course and i was looking for audio files and this thing popped up. and its about some family so i decided to be an ass and get a laugh so i played this thing thorugh the entire presentation.
i kinda like it. the teacher pissed her pants listening to it. especially the kissing with tounges part. haha. i dont know.
this song makes me feel so good.. :)
David Byrne really has a gift for coming up with meaningful lyrics and advocates humanism very well in a modern context.
ya in the windows media file it says "radio edit" so i guess the toungue part might be different or something, instead the person who contributed this said "i never watch tv except when i'm stoned" i dunno
This song is about the strange things us humans do. "Strange?" You ask, "Whats so strange about humans"? Well, look at it this way... our ways are VERY different when compared to the rest of this planet. Completely strange when compared to all of the other animals... is our way really the earthly way? Hell no! The real earthly way is to hunt, chase, kill and eat some other animal, right there on the spot! Raw, not cooked! Off the ground, not on plates! Yet, we live a completely different lifestyle compared to the rest of this planet which may or may not be a good thing...
Humans are a strange race indeed.
The Masked Magician is right on this one. I also got this free with Windows XP.
