Sittin' on your ass all day
Thinkin' bout your hangover and the par-tay
You left your fuckin' keys at
And had to beg for a
Ride from a stranger that I never met before
He acted so friendly that I had to take the ride
But for some reason he resembled that guy
Wanted for a robbery
And beatin' on his kid
"You remind me of my stepson"
He chuckled with a grin

What was that move
That they taught in self-defense
You block the killer's knife
Move with some confidence
The signal when you're trapped inside a moving car I wonder if he'll drive real far

What a day, What a day
Should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day
What a day, What a day

What a day, What a day
You should think next time
Before you start to play
What a day, What a day
I wonder what'll happen today

Rub your eyes from
No sleep this week
Tap your heels home
Then fall asleep

Sittin' 'round looking for a fight
Kinda' pissed off how I'm turnin' my life
Up-side down from insecure insecurities
Makin' up my mind through old hypocrisy

Up and out of harms way
Down cause I want to be there
Here because you want me
Not because you're caught in my stare

What was that move
That they taught in self-defense
You block the killer's knife
Move with some confidence
The signal when you're trapped inside a moving car
I wonder if he'll drive real far

What a day, What a day
Should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day
What a day, What a day

What a day, What a day
You should think next time
Before you start to play
What a day, What a day
I wonder what'll happen today

Rub your eyes from
No sleep this week
Tap your heels home
Then fall asleep
Alseep in me
There is something wrong instead

What a day, What a day
Should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day
What a day, What a day

What a day, What a day
You should think next time
Before you start to play
What a day, What a day
What a day, What a day

What a day, What a day

    These people kicked ass at the K-Rockathon in Oswego. They put on one hell of a show. This song kicks ass and is one of the best songs of all times.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
