This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Askew Road, with charm of napalm
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
You make your beds boys, and clear your heads boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
Askew Road, with cigarette burns
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
You make your beds boys, and clear your heads boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
"Most bands have no respect for us at all,
Which is fine because we didn't form a band
To get respect from other musicians, you know
That was never an important criteria to us
It's just tragic I think"
Askew Road, a place in my heart
Forever hoping we'll all make our way back
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
You make your beds boys, and clear your heads boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
Askew Road, with cigarette burns
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
You make your beds boys, and clear your heads boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
"Most bands have no respect for us at all,
Which is fine because we didn't form a band
To get respect from other musicians, you know
That was never an important criteria to us
It's just tragic I think"
Askew Road, a place in my heart
Forever hoping we'll all make our way back

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."

Gorgeous song. Askew Road is in W. London, and it's where the band stayed at some point as youngsters with Philip Hall. Quite an appropriate name for the road...it seems to be a yearning for a past when everything was simpler. The quote is by Richey, who has stated that he had a blissful childhood.
can anyone tell me where i can get hold of this - i have all the albums, including lipstick traces and it's not on there
It's only available on Japaneese release of Life Blood, on "Bonus Disc" . I've bought it on e-Bay for £40 last year.<br /> Stay Beautiful :)
I hear this song on Pandora and it just takes my breath because the emotions it evokes for me of longing and love.
Named after the location of Philip and Terri Hall's house in London, where the Manics lived for a short time when they first started, Askew Road is a gentle call back to their youth. It strums very softly, James' voice almost cracking as he croons a tune that harks to an era of naivety and eagerness for success and also the intense friendship that held them so closely together. The addition of an interview clip with Richey, a small shock to the gasping listener, only serves to heighten the nostalgia and highlight his ever-presence in the band to this day.
