Here we go again
Being stuck up and spent
Save it for rent
Sun of blood red homes
Cause a dream with no color
Well, why even bother

And we know that it won't last
But we're fortunate (fortunate)
And the time just proves too much
And we're wearing down
Wearing down again

Shut up and fall
With the memories of summer
The perm and the sun
And the call of fall
With a comfortable lover
I just can't take all the decay
And we know that it won't last
But we're fortunate (fortunate)
And the time just proves too much
And we're wearing down
Wearing down again

It's okay if you don't show
But I want you to know that you're invited
It's okay if you don't call
But I want you to know that I'm excited

And we know that it won't last
But we're fortunate (fortunate)
And the time just proves too much
And we're wearing down

And we know that it won't last
But we're fortunate (fortunate)
And the time just proves too much
And we're wearing down
Wearing down again

    This song really confuses me... i have no idea what they could be singing about. There is so much emotion put into this song though, its amazing. I love the emphasis on the first few words on every verse.

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."
