its almost laughable how
life tends to spit us out
after beating us down
like you did before

its almost laughable how
it rains and pours again
as we stand here soaking
it all in

well if this is how life is
i wont back down from this
anymore

dont hang me out to dry
im not alright
but im not stopping now
dont turn the music down
its not alright
but she cant stop me now

and this is how life is

its kinda laughable how
life tends to spit us out
after beating us down
like you did before

its finally laughable how
it rains and it pours again
i just stand here soaking
it all in

well if this is how life is
i wont back down from this
anymore

dont hang me out to dry
im not alright
but im not stopping now
dont turn the music down
its not alright
but she cant stop me now

and this is how life is

no ones gonna break me down
if i can get away with it
no ones gonna count me out
if i can have my way with it

no ones gonna tell me how
i should be afraid of this
afraid of this

so dont hang me out to dry
im not alright
but im not stopping now
dont turn the music down
its not alright
but she cant stop me now

dont hang me out to dry
im not alright
but im not stopping now
dont turn the music down
its not alright
but you cant stop me now

and this is how life is

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."
