Do you see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday?
See that face on the billboard?
Well, that man is me

On the cover of a magazine
There's no question why I'm smilin'
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
You don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

'Cause Jesus He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right
And He's been tellin' me everything is alright

I believe in the family
With my ever lovin' wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night

Do you believe in God?
'Cause that is what I'm sellin'
And if you want to get to heaven
Well, I'll see you right

You won't even have to leave your house
Or get outta your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
'Cause I'm everywhere

And Jesus He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right
Well, He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright

Won't find me practicin' what I'm preachin'
Won't find me makin' no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Well, justa do as I say, don't do as I do

Well, I'm countin' my blessings
'Cause I've found true happiness
'Cause I'ma getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away

Well, there'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everythin' I'm sayin'
If you wanna get closer to Him
Get on your knees and start payin'

'Cause Jesus He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes He knows me and He knows I'm right
Well, He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright

'Cause Jesus He knows me and he knows I'm right (Jesus He knows me, know)
Ooh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right (Jesus He knows me, know)
I've been talkin' to Jesus all my life
And He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright, alright

Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know
'Cause Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know
Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know

    "Do as I say, don't do as I do."

    That line pretty much sums up preachers in general if you ask me, whether they're televangelists or your everyday pastor, seeing as how asking people for money is generally looked down upon if you're not a "spiritual leader".

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."

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/

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
