Saying this revelation called devastation
An initiation, all you'd better beware
Who'll cast the first stone Skin to the bone
Bring it all on home, bring it on for Jerome

So, new castle, build a brand new castle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Straight to the man

On an island of traders, you know they're trying to fade ya
No-one can train you, no-one evades you, no-one can fade you
Saying don't be late, nor the train won't wait
Saying don't be late or the boat can't wait
Saying don't be late, no, the train nor the boat
Or the train can wait, yeah

Do do do do do do
Heading straight to the man
How you know they'll never evade you

So now I stand here, love cuts down a revolver
Amsterdam in Sodom and Gomorra
So I'm singing to king stone, your teaching a song
They say it's a fable, though I was made able
I slipped through the net, want to bet it's a ramble, a sandstorm
One slip you know you'll never forget, who could ever forget ?
You know I'll never forget

Do do do do do do
Straight to the man
Ah, you know they're trying to fade you

So this revelation, called devastation
Oh, need no powder, one kinder, easy blind ya
Yeah, the eyes of Grand Britannia owes a debts
Say, the eyes of Grand Britannia, all the eyes of Grand Britannia
All the eyes of Grand Britannia owes a debts

Yeah, the eyes of Grand Britannia
All the eyes of Grand Britannia owes us a debts

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
