Hey Amanda
Where'd you find these crazy boys this time?
They say you're pretty but you don't think they're right.

Hey amanda
While you're staring at your telephone tonight
do you feel like turning it off, turning off all of the lights?

Pin your wings down
if it's over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow

Hey amanda
who just threw your heart away this time?
And when you're crying on your bed does he help keep you alive?

Pin your wings down
if it's all over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow

I'll take the blame if you take me home now
Cuz there's no place left for trust in all this pain
And you know when it rains in this town I get washed away
Without a sound
So pin my wings down

if it's over
if it's over now

Pin your wings down
if it's over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow



Lyrics submitted by Saves The Day 47

    here's my interpretation of these parts...

    "Hey Amanda Where'd you find these crazy boys this time? They say you're pretty but you don't think they're right. "

    she's pretty, and people tell her she is but she is naive and doesnt belive them.

    "Hey amanda While you're staring at your telephone tonight do you feel like turning it off, turning off all of the lights?"

    she falls for a guy, and stays up all night by the phone waiting for him to call, he doesnt and she feels like giving up

    "Hey amanda who just threw your heart away this time? And when you're crying on your bed does he help keep you alive? "

    the guy she was with was a flake and fucked her over, she's upset and belives he was her world.

    "I'll take the blame if you take me home now Cuz there's no place left for trust in all this pain And you know when it rains in this town I get washed away Without a sound So pin my wings down "

    he'll take the blame of the other guy just as long as he gets to be with her.
    hes saying she can trust him and that anyone else is gonna hurt her again.
    when she cries over the other guy, she forgets about him and how he feels about her.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
