Had enough danger with people on the streets
Looking out for angels
(Angels)
Just tryin' to find some peace, mmm

I think it's time
(Now I think it's time)
It's time that you let me know
(You let me know)
So if you love me, say you love me
And if u don't just let me go

Teacher there are things that I don't want to learn
(Things that I don't want to learn)
And the last one I had made me cry

So I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
And think that you're mine
'Cuz it ain't no world for an uptown girl
Teacher has told her goodbye, goodbye, oh goodbye

When you were just a stranger I was at your feet
(Ooh)
I didn't feel danger, now I feel the heat
(Yeah)

The look in those eyes the look in those
Lovely eyes is tellin' me
(Is tellin' me)
No, so you think that you love me, no, that you need me
I wrote this song, I know it's wrong just let me go

Teacher there are things, there are things
That I don't want to learn
(Things that I don't want to learn, ooh yeah)
Ooh the last one I had made me cry
(Come on)

So I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
No world for an uptown girl
Teacher has told her goodbye, goodbye, oh goodbye

So I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
No world for an uptown girl
Who just isn't willin' to try so cold inside
(So cold inside)
Ooh baby just one more
(Gimme one more try)

Just one more try to ease my mind, I feel so cold inside
Just one more try to ease my mind, I feel so cold inside
Just one more try to ease my mind, I feel so cold inside

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
