Oh no its over can I give you a call?
We've come so far we can't climb over the walls
Yeah...
Caked up, break up and now I want to be friends
Its hard to breathe I hope this doesn't offend
Offend...

how come you never want to dance with me anymore?
Lying cold sleep at home while I'm on the floor
How come you never want to dance with me anymore?
You've got a hold on me girl

knives out, we shout steal a mercedes benz
Look sharp at dark without a power shot lense
Can I come round and have a look in your eyes
You might just find you'll get a little surprise
Surprise...

how come you never want to dance with me anymore?
Lying cold sleep at home while I'm on the floor
How come you never want to dance with me anymore?
You've got a hold on me girl
A hold on me girl
A hold on me girl

oh no its over can I give you a call?
We've come so far we can't climb over the walls
Yeah...

how come you never want to dance with me anymore?
Lying cold sleep at home while I'm on the floor
How come you never want to dance with me anymore?
You've got a hold on me girl,
A hold on me girl
A hold on me girl

    no one has writtin about this song......... it may not be a well known grinspoon song but i really like it.

    I think it's about how he still likes this girl even tho she broke up with him. He still wants to be with her, and have fun with her, he can't stop thinking about her.. she has a hold on him.. That is my opinion

    I love this song, I can't believe there is only a few comments on it! Definitely one of the best ones from the new cd. I agree that it sounds like they have broken up but he still loves her and wants to dance with her again. In the beginning it when he says "We can climb over the walls" that he thinks they can handle anything that comes their way. Always makes me want to dance! Love the old school film clip also!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
