"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
How you doing sweet heart?
Hey ah you know these last few months
We've been together have been so right and I'm just so happy for what we share
I've been wondering how do you feel?
I wanna get lost in love with you (oh yeh)
And do all the things you want me to
Caress your body, touch you so
'Cause boy I love you so(and I love you to baby)
The love we share is something so especial estar contigo is all I want to do
Every night ever since el primer dia the first day I knew
It'd last forever if I had it my way
So the days go on no ago otra cosa but
Dream about the moment our hearts will come closa holding tu mano and your face
Tan bonita never met another young lady senorita
And that is why I gotta say that your the best
A million and one ways just to express mi amor
I know that we will be togetha
So sing to me baby and sing foreva
I want to be with you always togetha foreva
'Til our ending days hold me baby don't let go making love like never before
Making love in the night time walks and romance
I'm telling you hermosa my heart is in a trance
They say that true love is so hard to find
I thank the man up above for making you mine
Talking on the telephone
Sending you kisses, a dozen of rosses
Just to say that I'm missing the warmth of your body right next to mine
Eres tu la mejor like a toast of Fine Wine.
Out to the movies maybe sharing some Ice Cream
Si estoy dormido don't wake me from my dream
Todo lo que quiero all I need is your affection
My life was fine but you brought perfection
Now we sit here just holding hands whispers in my ear
Tell me that I'll be your man today
Manana in a paradise for two I feel the same way
'Cause I'm so in love with you
I love the way you make me feel
My love for you is so real
Embrace my body touch me softly love me till the morning
You Know that love we share is just something so special
The tenderness I just don't know what to say
Girl would you sing to me one more time do it like this come on.
I wanna get lost in love with you
And do all the things you want me to
Caress your body
Touch you softly
'Cause boy I love you so.
I wanna be with you always together foreva
'Til our ending days hold me baby
Don't let go making love like neva before

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."
