This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Send me an angel down
Can't spare no angel
Will spare you a teasin' brown
Well that new way of loving
Swear to god it must be best
For these Detroit women won't let mr. jack white rest
There's a crowd on the corner
Wonder what could it be
One thing but the womens is trying to get to me
I went down to the station
Suitcase in my hand
All the women run cryin'
Mr. Jack, won't you be my man?
Well there was three women
Yellow, brown and black
Take the mayor of Detroit to pick which one I like
One of 'em Amtrak yellow
One of 'em Detroit brown
But that southwest dark skin sure to turn my damper down
Why, ticket agent ticket agent
Where did my baby go
Tell me what she looks like
I'll tell you what road she's on
Well she's a long tall mama
A mile and a half from the ground
She's a tailor-man mama
And she ain't no hand me down
Well I used to say
Married women
Sweetest women never born
You better change that thing
You better leave married women alone
Take my advice let married women
Boy let 'em be
Cause their husband will grab ya
Beat your ragged ass to cedar street
I got two women
You can't tell 'em apart
I got one in my bosom
And the other is in my heart
Well that one in my bosom
She live in Tennessee
Well that one in my heart
She don't give a darn for me
I'm gonna tell you pretty mama
Exactly who I am
When I walk in that front door
And hear that back door slam
Can't spare no angel
Will spare you a teasin' brown
Well that new way of loving
Swear to god it must be best
For these Detroit women won't let mr. jack white rest
There's a crowd on the corner
Wonder what could it be
One thing but the womens is trying to get to me
I went down to the station
Suitcase in my hand
All the women run cryin'
Mr. Jack, won't you be my man?
Well there was three women
Yellow, brown and black
Take the mayor of Detroit to pick which one I like
One of 'em Amtrak yellow
One of 'em Detroit brown
But that southwest dark skin sure to turn my damper down
Why, ticket agent ticket agent
Where did my baby go
Tell me what she looks like
I'll tell you what road she's on
Well she's a long tall mama
A mile and a half from the ground
She's a tailor-man mama
And she ain't no hand me down
Well I used to say
Married women
Sweetest women never born
You better change that thing
You better leave married women alone
Take my advice let married women
Boy let 'em be
Cause their husband will grab ya
Beat your ragged ass to cedar street
I got two women
You can't tell 'em apart
I got one in my bosom
And the other is in my heart
Well that one in my bosom
She live in Tennessee
Well that one in my heart
She don't give a darn for me
I'm gonna tell you pretty mama
Exactly who I am
When I walk in that front door
And hear that back door slam

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Yeah anyone from the Detroit music scene knows that Well, I used to say married women, Were the sweetest women ever born, You better change that thing, You better leave married women alone, Take my advice let married women, Boy let 'em be, Cause their husband will grab ya, Beat your ragged ass to cedar street" is a specific reference to Tracee, and his affair that drove the wedge between him and Dan
