Hold on to that lead they sometimes pull so tight
And there's bad boy Oscar he been up all night
And if oxygen ran out
You know he just won't care
It'll be like throw that stick one more time of there

And we went, woah poodle rockin' baby
Poodle rockin' my mind was a mess
Before you brought happiness
And we went, woah poodle rockin' baby poodle rockin'
You're chasing sticks and stones
Like you just don't care at all

Dear round Alice she been sick outta sight
She's just ate three whole boxes of Turkish Delight
Oh waggy waggy tail and chasing sticks and stones
Those victory laps and sgt pepper tones

And we went, woah poodle rockin' baby
Poodle rockin' my mind was a mess
Before you brought happiness
And we went, woah poodle rockin' baby poodle rockin'
You're chasing sticks and stones
Like you just don't care at all

Ooh aah ooh aah ooh aah ooh aah
Ooh aah ooh aah ooh aah ooh aah
Ooh aah ooh aah ooh aah ooh aah

And we went, woah poodle rockin' baby
Poodle rockin' my mind was a mess
Before you brought happiness
And we went, woah poodle rockin' baby poodle rockin'
You're chasing sticks and stones
Like you just don't care at, you just don't care at all
Oh, like you just don't care
Like you just don't care at all
Oh like you just don't care and you just don't care at all

    the sgt. peppers reference in the second verse refers to the dog-whistle included on the beatle's classic album 'sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band'. the whistle is of such a high frequency that it can't be heard by humans, only dogs. it makes them go a bit nuts apparently. in a song about poodles rocking out the connection is obvious. paul mccartney:

    "We're sitting around the studio, and one of the engineers starts talking about wavelengths, wave forms and stuff, kilohertz," McCartney recalls. "I still don't understand these things - I'm completely nontechnical. And as for John, he couldn't even change a plug - he really couldn't, you know. The engineers would be explaining to us what all this stuff was. An ultrasonic sound wave - 'a low one, you can kill people with the low ones.' We were all saying, 'Wow, man. Hey, wow.' 'And the high ones,' he said, 'only dogs can hear it.' We said, 'We gotta have it on! There's going to be one dog and his owner, and I'd just love to be there when his ears prick up.'"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
