This is the last show
I will ever play with you
this is the end of what you put me through
the last show I will ever play with you
this is the end of what we do...

I don't want fame, I don't want money
I just want to have fun again
I don't want girls, or backstage parties
I just want to feel like we're friends
I think I've learned my lesson
I think I've figured this whole thing out
this is a fine profession
but it's no fun
so I'm done

This is the last show
I will ever play with you
this is the end of what you put me through
the last show I will ever play with you
this is the end of what we do...

I never thought I would hate music
I never thought I would hate you
but every day this feels more like a job I don't even want to do
I think I've learned my lesson
I'll never follow my dreams again
I won't waste any more of your time
so kiss my ass
I wont be back

This is the last show
I will ever play with you
this is the end of what you put me through
the last show I will ever play with you
this is the end of what we do...

did we do it for the money?
did we do it cause we were bored?
I was better off with what I had before
and that was nothing
that was
nothing
at
all...

This is the last show
I will ever play with you
this is the end of what you put me through
the last show I will ever play with you
this is the end of what we do

this is the last song
this is the last line...goodbye.

    Welcome to the most depressing song I've heard. I'm glad they dropped back to a more indie label and I hope this gets Aaron out of his music funk, but oh god.

    I don't care about any other emotional songs. This song sounds like Aaron's on the verge of just quitting the band and disbanding Reel Big Fish. I don't know how I'd live if that happened. I'm a ridiculous fanboy and I don't deny.

    ahah no he isnt intending to leave.. this WHOLE ALBUM is against the record company that RBF were with which they didnt like,

    "This is the last show I will ever play with you this is the end of what you put me through the last show I will ever play with you this is the end of what we do..."

    as in this is the last album WE will do with you after the crap the producers put them through, etc they couldnt do there on thing! so the next album (our live album) was actually after they left this label now they are on a indie label. FREE.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.
