Spit it out, give it up
Tell me another depressing story
Here it comes, there it is
Gimme a reason to stay or I'll start packing my mind

And in the spirit of the Indians, jaded and faded,
I'll settle my score and I'll haunt all your dreams with my

Heya, na, na, Hey, na, na, Hey, na na, Heya
Heya, na na, Hey, na na, Heya (2x)

Take the time to drink from my well
'Cause I'm so exhausted, I can't even drink for myself
And I built a palace of purpose complete with a shrine
Oh, but how come the road that's less travelled has so many lines?

Turn around, let me see
How many promises I've forsaken
Never mind, let it be,
Isn't it funny how each new road leads straight to home

And in the spirit of my ancestors Gaelic and and Godly, I'll spit on my fear and I'll summon my tribe with my

Heya, na, na, Hey, na, na, Heya, na na, Heya
Heya, na na, Hey, na na, Heya (2x)

Take the time to answer the call
Or something far colder than winter may follow the fall
And a yellow brick road to salvation awaits the divine
Oh, but how come the road that's less travelled is where I find mine?

And with the ebbing and the flowing of the tide I'm washed ashore
And each sermon succeeding is stranger than
Before you take me, teach me to run from myself
Before you take me, let me take somebody else

Take the time to fall on your knees
'Cause my soul is a cell and I can't come and go as I please
And I paid my debt with my blood and my sweat and my time
Oh, but how come the road's that's less travelled is paved with my crime?

Heya, na na, Heya, na na, Heya (4x)

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."

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.
