Don't need no broken soul
Stitched up and hidden under every pore
I had a hell but I've
Overgrown it and reached up out of that mode

You gotta glow
New Skin emerging and I'm not letting go
I like to shine it on my face like gold
I don't even really wanna know my old self
You're changing

Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back

You've got it all wrong
I died once to save my life
Saw it in a tribute
Saw it in a tribute in a magazine

I hear it calling again and again
My past keeps clawing in
I hear it calling on the radio
On this old broken stereo

Oh yeah It's just a feeling that I never believed I'd know
Oh yeah I love to feel it grow
Oh yeah It's what I needed and it's all that I want to own
Oh yeah I had to feel it's always on my mind

Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back

Oh yeah It's just a feeling that I never believed I'd know
Oh yeah I love to feel it grow
Oh yeah It's what I needed and it's all that I want to own
Oh yeah I had to feel it

Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back
Yeah had to get some
Had to get it and I'm never gonna give it back

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
