Not enough
Never too much
Baby look just like love
Rolling stone
Gathers no moss
But leave a trail of Busted Stuff

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

Moving to kiss, oh
Sweet, sugar lips
Baby look just like love
Without a care, she floats above me
She got me down here looking up

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

You know she's gonna leave this broken man behind
Yeah, yeah...

She's the one for me...

When she move, she move so cool
Got me feel just like a fool
But inside is where the devil rides
The woman look just like love

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

You know she's gonna leave this broken man behind her
Yeah, yeah...

She the one, she the one, she the one for me...

You know she's gonna leave this broken man behind
Yeah, yeah

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one for me...

    This song made me angry...not the song itself, but the fact that Dave changed almost every song from The Lillywhite Sessions and put them on Busted Stuff. Other than that, I love this song! -The Virgince in the Force-

    I think Busted Stuff is better than the Lillywhite Sessions. The only songs that I wish Dave didn't change around from the Lillywhite Sessions are "Grace is Gone" and "Bartender"

    I like this version better. This song reminds me of dave's perfect girl but she doesn't like him the way he likes her. She's a "rolling stone"

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
