I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Yeah
I would be your man, You would be my girl
Oh yeah
I believe, I believe
If there's any justice in the world
I would be your man, You would be my girl
Oh yeah
If I found you first you know its true,
He would be alone I would be with you
When you decide, Don't let me down
Cause there's nothing to be certain in my life And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
Oh No, Uh
If there's any justice in your heart
You're love really changed
Is it in too hard, Oh n
Why don't you remember how it feels, not to give a damn for anyone but me, yeah
I can't believe
You'd be deceived
Changing memories from truth to fantasy
When there's nothing left but tears
And there's not much justice in the world, oh
Just because its wrapped around your finger
Don't fool yourself with dreams that might appear, oh
If in time you stop and trust your feelings
The truth is out there somewhere
It's blowing in the wind, Oh
If there's any justice in the world
I would be your man, You would be my girl
Oh yeah
If I found you first you know its true, he would be alone and I would beeee with yoooou
Yeah
When you decide
Don't let me down
Cause there's nothing to be certain in my life And I've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
No
If I should lose you girl you know
That there's not much justice in the world
No No
If there's any justice in the world
You're gonna be my baby
You're gonna be my baby
You're gonna be my baby

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."
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i guess im the first writing! this tune is really nice and lemar has a great voice too bad theres not any comments here.LEMAR ROCKS
i know
I like Lemar, his voice is beautiful.
Easy song to explain, meeting someone at the wrong time while both of you are not available. Feeling is strong but commitment is commitment. Tough choice to make and it could be unfair sometimes.
The explaination is in the words...........fantasic song...........I remember when I asked.. so whats your favorite track......you laughed and wouldnt say... I remember what day it was....the time.........the year... and who was there.... and even what you wore... and the gift you gave me.... and then as you drove away you said.......... I couldnt wait to listen to it..Still the best song I have ever heard...by a fantastic artist....

Obviously meeting a girl when she's already with someone else but he thinks he would be better with her. So saying there's no justice because he didn't meet her first, saying she knows it as much as him but saying it's up to her to decide and that he's riding on that decision. Beautiful song, beautiful voice, amazing artist. I wish he was more popular! :(
there is no justice in this fucking world, i know exactly what he means when he sings this song.
