One, two, three, four
Woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo

She called me late last night to say she loved me so
It didn't matter anymore
I'll say she never cared and that she never will
And do it all again, I guess I'll have to wait until then

And if I get drunk, well, I'll pass out
On the floor now, baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin'
Well, you know that you're my friend and I'll say
I think I'll have myself a beer

Woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo

She called me late last night to say she loved me so
But I guess she's changed her mind
Well, I should have known it wouldn't be all right
But I can't live without her, so I won't even try

And if I get drunk, well, I'll pass out
On the floor now, baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin'
Well, you know that you're my friend and I'll say
I think I'll have myself a beer

Maybe someday, I'll think of what to say
Maybe next time I'll remember what you do
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell
Said she'd do it all again, she promised not to tell!

And if I get drunk, well, I'll pass out
On the floor now, baby
You won't bother me no more
And it's okay, boy
'Cause you know we'll be good friends and I'll say
I think I'll have myself a beer
I think I'll have myself a

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo

    My Interpretation

    The lines that stand out: "She looks like Heaven, maybe this is Hell" He's saying he still has feelings for her, but she'll only put him through Hell again if he goes back to her. "If I get drunk and I'm passed out on the floor, you won't bother me no more." The thought of her doesn't bother him while he's intoxicated, but it's not really a good solution (which is why he words it so bluntly).

    This song reminds me of a previous realtionship. We broke up on bad terms but still had a bunch of mutuall friends who would throw parties. She broke up with me, which left me with a lot of issues and stuff, so i started drinking.

    "She called me late last night To say she loved me so It didn't matter anymore, I'll say she never cared And that she never will I'd do it all again I guess I'll have to wait until then " Basically my ex would call me late at night to tell me she still loved me and that she cares about me, but thats all ruined to me because of what she did to me. I'd do it all over again until I'm able to fall back in love. If she did this to me, then she never cared at all about me.

    "If I get drunk well I'll pass out on the floor now baby, You won't bother me no more, And if your drinkin' well You know that you're my friend And I say I think I'll have myself a beer."

    to me that represents me getting black out drunk because either i thought about her or she was at the same party and i just completely erase my mind of the night. I mean, I wouldnt cause a scene at a party with a bunch of friends around cause she's there and im still not over what she did to me. So if i see her there, we'll be "friends" and i guess I'll down a beer.

    "She called me late last night To say she loved me, so But I guess he changed her mind. Well I should have known it wouldn't be all right But I can't live without her So I won't even try..."

    I still love her, I wont even try to get back with her, I know what will spawn from that. I should know better.

    "Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say, Maybe next time I'll remember what to do! (do, do, do) She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell, Said she'd do it all again She promised not to tell!"

    "Maybe some day I'll think of something to say to her, maybe I'll remmeber something to do to make things okay between us. She's so beautiful, but she has put me through some of the darkest times in my life. She told me that she'd hook up with me and promise not to tell her new bf at the time. What the fuck am I supposed to do?"

    "If I get drunk well, I'll pass out on the floor now baby You won't bother me no more (and she said) It's OK boy cause You know we'll be good friends and I say I think I'll have myself a beer I think I'll have myself a Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh Yeah Yeah Yeah! Oooh oooh Oooh! Woohoohooo!"

    Basically, if i get drunk enough I'll black out adn you don't get to me any more. You cant mess with my head any more.

    A sarcastic song about the fact that there can't be no friendship between boys and girls if there's feelings involved.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

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.
