Point a loaded gun at me
At me
Tell me how it's gonna be
It'll be
Well you've paved your road
Now you want to pave mine
But it's not gonna work
It's time I live my life my way
Do the best I can each day
With the world on the downside
Fallen by the wayside
Walking through hell
With a carcass on the inside

[Chorus]
Get away
Get down
Get off my back
Leave it alone
Listen to what
Your mama got to say
Face down while the blood
Drips off your head
Get a clue
Get away
Get down
Get off my back
Leave it alone

Mama don't like my ways
That's just the way I play
With an angry heart
And an acid mind
It eats away
The soul can't live on hate alone
Hate alone alone
Live my life I'm not a clone
THe first time, second time, third time to come
With the devastating crash of a Wall Street bum

[Chorus]

[Solo]
Where you gonna be
When your world falls down
Don't you know they laugh at you
Where you gonna be
When you lose your ground
Don't stand around
The joke's on you

[Chorus]

Pushing me down pushing me all around
Pushing me to make me cry
Killing all dreams killing all the world
Killing just to satisfy
Pointing to hell pointing at the sky
Pointing just to uplift you
When you look around in your little world
Oh yes you better get a clue

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."
