Hey, could you stand another drink
I'm better when I don't think
It seems to get me through
Well, d'you want to spin another line
Like we had a good time
Not that I need proof

Swell, we're living in a hotel
And someones ringing my bell
In a room without a view
Hey, heard you read another book
Should i take another look
Who am I
Without you

    I like the lyrics and the song. It's just about the simple value of friendship - just appreciating someone for being there and saying nothing :-)

    Nice song.

    Having just split up with my long-term GF, I feel awful and so alone. I hate the way I feel, and I try and blot that out by spending as much time as possible with my friends.

    "hey, could you stand another drink? i'm better when i don't think, it seems to get me through."

    ^^^ I'm kinda like that now, asking my mates to stay for just one more so I don't have to go home and be alone. It's easier to take your mind off things when you're with people/drinking.

    Fuck knows - maybe it's just a nice song with no real meaning.

    Watch the video for this song, it's somewhere on YouTube. It stars ex-Doctor Who guy Christopher Eccleston, before he hit it big. It's kinda wierd, but watching it you can't help but smile :-)

    I really love this song. This lyric is like a modern larkins "kick up the fire and let the flames break loose" something about prolonging the time with company so as not to be alone with your thoughts.

    There are a few errors in the lyrics

    "well, do you want to spin another lie?" should be "say, do you want to spin another lie?" both times

    "what am i without you?" should be "who am i without you?" both times

    1. my version is the same as colincs1, so I would say that there are errors in the lyrics too.

    2. the song is really beutiful. you would guess the lyrics are deep, but really, i think they aren't. this song gives me a good feeling though. your own feelings with a song are more important to me.

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."

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
