This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm gonna pull you in close
Gonna wrap you up tight
Gonna play with the braids
That you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face
And toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
I feel like love in the kitchen
With the culinary eye
I think he's makin' something special
And I'm smart enough to try
If you don't trust yourself
For at least a minute each day
Well, you should trust in this, girl
'Cause loving is coming our way
You can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl
You'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
In my mind
This is my, my, my free time
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way (take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
In my mind
This is my, my, my free time
To break it all away
Spend it all today
Spend it all today
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you, oh, oh, ooh, ooh
Gonna wrap you up tight
Gonna play with the braids
That you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face
And toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
I feel like love in the kitchen
With the culinary eye
I think he's makin' something special
And I'm smart enough to try
If you don't trust yourself
For at least a minute each day
Well, you should trust in this, girl
'Cause loving is coming our way
You can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl
You'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
In my mind
This is my, my, my free time
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way (take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
In my mind
This is my, my, my free time
To break it all away
Spend it all today
Spend it all today
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you, oh, oh, ooh, ooh

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

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.
this song has some of the best interpol lyrics in my opinion...my favorite line is, "bc friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell"..to me it's a play on words, like wine=whine...friends don't waste their time whining when there's something important to say..or friends don't waste wine by drinking it all and completely confessing their dirtiest secrets to the one they love, just bc it's easier that way.
@paradigmshift It sounds similar to "Friends don't waste time when there's words to tell", as well. And everything you said. I really like the idea of the play on words idea you had.<br /> <br /> Don't waste your whine, there's words to tell/sell!
