I tried to stop myself
Told you those games ain't good for yourself
Gave you advice 'cause I thought you could hear
Better listen closely 'cause your end is near

Won't show you no mercy at all
Gonna kick you, kick you when you're taking your fall
Won't show you no mercy today
Gonna hit you, hit you when you're moving on your way

Put you in check 'cause I thought you were my friend
Sorry it had to come to the bitter end
Just like a blind man you can't see
Better move along and just let me be

Don't come to me for no sympathy
You won't get none here
Just leave you in fear

Won't show you no mercy at all!

What does it take to prove you were a fake
I thought so anyway,
Won't show you no mercy today!

Won't show you no mercy at all!

    This song is about showing a person no mercy, or hiding mercy from them. Like, if you had mercy and a person wanted to see it, you could leave the mercy in a box or bag and just not show them. Another way to not show mercy is to see a friend on the side of the road with a flat tire and then just drive right by. The lyric "Gonna kick ya, kick ya when you're takin your fall" seems to be in reference to hitting a person when they are falling over.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
