Monday fell hard like the weight the world,
Weighing down my shoulders
Tuesday why do you stay so late this I can't abide

So I stand in line so I wait in line
Everyone must honor their own anodyne
So I hang around
So I hang around
And now we hear the homeless philharmonic singin'
All of Charlie's Angels to their heavenly convergence in the sky

You and me come on let's hitch a ride

Paint me confused on a carnival cruise
This tortured ambulance chaser

But I'm cured
I got two feet on the floor
I guess that's all I need

So I stand in line so I wait in line
Everyone must honor their own anodyne
So I hang around
So I hang around
And now we hear the homeless philharmonic singin'
All of Charlie's Angels to their heavenly convergence in the sky

I must confide (I must confide)
I'm fit to be homeward rolling
A tune, beneath the wayward moon
Singin' me to sleep

And as the weekend's ending
With the weekdays pending
Having trouble comprehending...
how I'll make it through

So I stand in line so I wait in line
Everyone must honor their own anodyne
So I hang around
So I hang around
And now we hear the homeless philharmonic singin'
All of Charlie's Angels to their heavenly convergence in the sky

Suck it down we're all gonna hitch a ride

Monday fell hard like the weight of the world
Weighing down my shoulders....

    It is about drinking on a Sunday night and going to work the next day. Look at the lyrics it's obvious.

    I think its about someone trying to maintain a weekend alcohol addiction. Standing in line at the liquor store with all the homeless drunks... just to get a weekend's worth of booze. Then going cold turkey through the week, which seems to draw on by Tuesday.

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."
