Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Till once again victorious, whoa
Generals and Majors always
Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war
Generals and Majors ah ah
Like never before are tired of being action less
Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors
Your World War III is drawing near
Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
Away from men who made the grade
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Until the battle's lost or made, whoa
Generals and Majors always
Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war
Generals and Majors ah ah
Like never before, are tired of being in the shade
Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors, hey
Your World War III is drawing near, World War III
Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Till once again victorious, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Damn catchy. Also, the promo video for this song is really cute. Bouncy Castles and go-karts and everything. :]
This song is another anti-war song from Black Sea. Catchy pop song like so many of XTCs songs are. You hear this once you won't forget it. Whistling in music is nothing new but I can't remember it sounding so good!
What a brilliant album. Listening to it again today and it sounds so fresh and timeless
It's funny how in 1980 we all believed the generals and majors wanted a big glorious war. What they really wanted was an easy win, like the Falklands or Grenada.
Sure, we did come scarily close to the end of the world anyway a few times by accident (Able Archer 83, etc.), but we got lucky, and got a decade of great music out of our collective desperation, so maybe it was all for the best.
Much truer now than back in the 80s.
