Pray for content, settle for free rent, the tenements recall Rome
High five, look up, look alive,
As the scions of history guess another mystery
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Recite your lines, and I'll quote scriptures
Everything, was fine until membership lost its privileges
Everyone in town, wanted to be around you
This went on for awhile until they finally found you
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero's welcome, What's more you just had to win
Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made Such perfect sense
Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did
But you won't, Kelly says she could've
But you won't, Kelly says she could've
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
High five, look up, look alive,
As the scions of history guess another mystery
Wrong
Wrong

Recite your lines, and I'll quote scriptures
Everything, was fine until membership lost its privileges
Everyone in town, wanted to be around you
This went on for awhile until they finally found you
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero's welcome, What's more you just had to win
Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made Such perfect sense
Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did

But you won't, Kelly says she could've
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you

Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
I disagree, because they are Canadian. But I could be wronge. More on this later.
