Wounded, you can't take me there
I was wounded, you can't take me there
'Cause it was a crime that I was left
Will you go on without me?
Think I'll just walk myself to sleep

'Cause I ain't working for your father
But I might as well be
I ain't looking for confusion
But it tends to follow me

You can come into my house, she said
If you do it quietly
But I said
There ain't no chance in that, no

'Cause I am missin' into what you got
Put up your hands if you want me to stop
And I turn around but I think I'm crazy
If you think this happens a lot

Oh, do you like this?
Do you need someone to cover you
Just to show you what you miss?

Wounded, I well go if you go first
But I ain't gonna wait around
Tell me how much is your damn worth
We got then minutes to get there

We got ten minutes to go
Throw this one in for the money
'Cause the next one's for the next show

I ain't working for your father
But I might as well be
I ain't looking for confusion
But it tends to follow me

You can come into my house she said
If you do it quietly
But I said
There ain't no chance in that, no

'Cause I am missin' into what you got
Put up your hands if you want me to stop
But I turn around but I think I'm crazy
If you think this happens a lot

Oh, do you like this?
Do you need someone to cover you
Just to show you what you miss?

So hey, where you going?
Do you need somebody, somewhere
To help you get on by?
'Cause I think, you know who I am
And I'm gonna make this
As fast as I can

Some people call me
The push-up man
I promise it won't take
No no no no no no
Just close your eyes, yeah
And get in the van

I am missin' into what you got
Put up your hands if you want me to stop
And I turn around but I think I'm crazy
If you think this happens a lot

Oh, do you like this?
Do you need someone to cover you
Just to show you what you miss?

'Cause I am missin' into what you got
Put up your hands if you want me to stop
And I turn around but I think I'm crazy
If you think this happens a lot

Oh, do you like this?
Do you need someone to cover you
Just to show you what you miss?

Hey eh hay hay hay hay
And we comin' around again

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
