Messing with the boys in blue
Don’t you know they’ll come for you
Better find the exit wound form the flashing of the camera crews
Better tell the ones that know
Taking on the dice that roll
Boy, you haven’t got a clue
Sending out the IOU
Fashion will lead you over roads that I felt like taking over on the road

Now you’re running form the boys in blue
Better hope they don’t find you
Never knew that you had rules
Until they broke the ones you thought were true
You never saw the eyes that rolled
Never heard the legend told
I wonder if the prince got through
Imagine if the palace knew

The captain has taken over roads that I felt like taking over on the road

Why can’t we understand the history of man?
Leave every stone unturned and every bridge unburned
Why can’t we comprehend the mysteries of man?
Leave every stone unturned and every bridge unburned
These dreams, they don’t make sense
You’ll never see the gardener or the white picket fences pass the graves

Street lights dance and street lights sing
Someone cut the oxygen and took a message to the king
Announcing that he wasn’t royalty

So sing the hook
Let the music move

Why can’t we comprehend the mysteries of man on the road

    Whatever you say man, but I can bet you I know which band's will make more money, sell more c.ds and be recognised when zao are dead and no-one cares. Aren't Zao signed to ferret alongside Funeral For A Friend et al...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
