Can we take the streets?
'Cause there's a horrible crash.
Well standing on the highway,
a girl and her Dad.
But you say yeah,

it's far too much for me,
far too fast of scenery
but your voice,

and your lips are moving words
that I cannot breach the noise.
But just remember always move fast.

We know you,
we own you.

Go home
and leave me at the door
or we can stay outside
of your house and just
wait for the morning.

Well I heard you
can't stay too long
the morning's got you worried.
Because the sun holds a
sea of troubles and an early drive away.

So I guess I'll just stay for a while
I guess you knew just from how I smiled.

Because there's no hurry
more like fucking nursery on a beautiful trial.
Just remember always move fast.

We know you,
we own you.

Go home
and leave me at the door
or we can stay outside
of your house and just
wait for the morning.
Cause I've seen your sadness grow
and it swallows these days until it hurts to breathe

She whispers,

thanks for your time tonight,
but, you are not awake yet
you are not awake, I swear.

She screams

it's all been in your dreams
with nothing tangible.
The girl, this house, the highway,
your mind made it real.

Just remember always move fast...

    To me, this song is about a girl who's just focused on everything wrong with this world (the car crash, sea of troubles, see your sadness). She meets this boy who tells her to live her life not lingering on those things and "always move fast", as to not let her sadness linger and swallow everything. At first she listens for while "I might stay for a while". She tells him he's living a world he's dreaming about "you're not awake." "your mind made it real. She thinks he's not awake enough to see the world as it really is; full of a soulful sadness. She leaves repeating his words to him "always move fast" is saying not to waste his time thinking about her.

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."

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/
