In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Give me your tired
Give me you poor
Yearning to be free
Yeah your hungry huddled masses screaming me!me!me!
Give me danger
Give me sorrow
Give me heat
Give me grime
Give me give me empathy
C'mon give me from behind
Throw me up against the wall
No baby do that again
No baby I'll do you 'cause you,you,you, you'll do anything.
Give me white boys skinny
Give me big black men
Give me ice cream on my birthday
Oh give me that again
Give me love love love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything
Give me dick
Give me speed
Give me white hot hate
One day my prince will come
But man, it's just to late
Give me one match so I can set myself on fire
Let them eat coke until they all starve
Give me one light that pulls down on me so hard
Twist it like a miracle
Blast your heart to shards
Throw me up against the wall
No baby do that again
No baby I'll do you 'cause you,you,you, you'll do anything.
Give me white boys skinny
Give me big black men
Give me ice cream on my birthday
Oh give me that again
Give me love love love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything
Give me some last solutions
Give it to your hand
Give it to me
C'mon baby give me and pray
You're a star
It's your show
I got the power to heal
God or the devil just give me a deal
Give me love,love,love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything
No, I'm to young to be this old
Slam the door when you go
I'll burn the sheets when you go
Just fucking go
Give me you poor
Yearning to be free
Yeah your hungry huddled masses screaming me!me!me!
Give me danger
Give me sorrow
Give me heat
Give me grime
Give me give me empathy
C'mon give me from behind
Throw me up against the wall
No baby do that again
No baby I'll do you 'cause you,you,you, you'll do anything.
Give me white boys skinny
Give me big black men
Give me ice cream on my birthday
Oh give me that again
Give me love love love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything
Give me dick
Give me speed
Give me white hot hate
One day my prince will come
But man, it's just to late
Give me one match so I can set myself on fire
Let them eat coke until they all starve
Give me one light that pulls down on me so hard
Twist it like a miracle
Blast your heart to shards
Throw me up against the wall
No baby do that again
No baby I'll do you 'cause you,you,you, you'll do anything.
Give me white boys skinny
Give me big black men
Give me ice cream on my birthday
Oh give me that again
Give me love love love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything
Give me some last solutions
Give it to your hand
Give it to me
C'mon baby give me and pray
You're a star
It's your show
I got the power to heal
God or the devil just give me a deal
Give me love,love,love
Give me me me
'Cause I will do you 'cause you'll do anything
No, I'm to young to be this old
Slam the door when you go
I'll burn the sheets when you go
Just fucking go

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
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."

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
As much as i personally hate Courtney in all her plasticness i quite like her music..she can't write music..she can't play guitar...she only knows about five chords.... but she can write lyrics...i think she kinda degrades herself in this song though....
