Chuva, chuvinha, vem, vem, vem ca, rapaz
Chuva, chuvinha, vem, vem ca, rapaz

This is not political it's just that I, I
Demand attention when I walk into the room
Ba dum, ba dum (hey), ba dum, ba dum
And it's not that I can't play ball hard
It's just that I don't want to
And the more I think about this pressure, love, I don't want you
And I can't have you and that's what hurts the most
I can't enjoy these things I boast
I throw my heart out, keep my head up, I cannot fuck up 'cause

I, I got what you need, boy (baby, I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I, I got what you need, boy (baby, I do)
But I will only bring on the rain

So I prefer to run this road rough around the edges
Good for something, but too good to give it to you
You run your own course at your own pace, but I just got impatient
See, I wanted to explore
Forsake you, forsook you, abate you, dissipate you
So turn fate around, I believed that I was free of you (not)
I still believe in those days on benches
At sunset and the waves in July, or was it March?
We weathered weathers and storms real and imagined
Such fragile tenderness, you are truly blessed I stress this
As I blow you this kiss as I blow it in the wind, mwah

I, I got what you need, boy (baby, I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I, I got what you need, boy (baby, I do)
But I will only bring on the rain
(Cut the music)

Chuva, chuvinha, vem, vem, vem ca, rapaz
Gonna make you cry so damn hard
You're gonna curse your drawers and wish you weren't a boy
Gonna make you cry so damn hard
You're gonna curse your drawers and wish you weren't a boy, yeah
I will make you cry
I will make you cry
Boo-hoo

They say time is made of memories
Well I remembered and I'm tired
This is not political
It's just that I remember the fire
Babe, you left me with my head held high and
I feigned to be more than I was, didn't I
I thought I could do without sugar love
But this chocolate has turned into sweet bubble gum
Candy is sweet but honey is sweeter
It tastes like the real thing but candy is much much cheaper (cheaper)

I, I got what you need, boy (baby, I do)
But I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I (rain a-fallin' down, rain a-fallin' down, ha, ha, ha, ha)
I got what you need, boy (rain a-fallin' down, rain a-fallin' down)
Baby, I do (ha, ha, ha, ha)
But I will only (rain a-fallin' down, rain a-fallin' down)
Bring on the rain (ha, ha, ha, ha)
Ah, crying, you'll be crying, I'm sorry I made you cry
I didn't mean to, let me wipe those tears away
Wipe those tears away, don't cry, baby
It's only rain

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."
