@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
My name is Michael; I ride my bicycle
Hard up the high hills
Of Charlemagne's driveway
I climb up the trellis
Lock fingers into lattice work
And watch as she takes off her shirt
And the war began on sacred ground
Funded by the green silk gown
She slips right into
And she needs to sleep
And he needs to wake up
He wanted to try the space that she takes up
This is Earth to astroknot
There's not a lot of hope for you tonight
And I believe the sun can stay
And rise you through the gray
Well, I'd like to join the circus
And what did I do to deserve this
Hole in my life?
Well in the morning when you wake up
You better check the space you take up
Now isn't that nice? You're bound to your fate
And I won't be coming home tonight
I've hanged myself upstairs
Inside her bedroom closet
And she needs to sleep
And he needs to wake up
He wanted to try
The space that she takes up
This is Earth to astroknot
There's not a lot of hope for you tonight
And I believe the sun can stay
And rise you through this perfect day
In the final days they'll call us
Like monkeys from the forest
We've opened the gate
You're bound to your fate
And I might be a psycho
But I still ride my bicycle
And I won't be coming home tonight
I've hanged myself upstairs
Inside the bedroom closet
And she needs to sleep
And he needs to wake up
He wanted to try
The space that she takes up
This is Earth to astroknot
There's not a lot of hope for you tonight
And I believe the sun can stay
And rouse you through this perfect day
Hard up the high hills
Of Charlemagne's driveway
I climb up the trellis
Lock fingers into lattice work
And watch as she takes off her shirt
And the war began on sacred ground
Funded by the green silk gown
She slips right into
And she needs to sleep
And he needs to wake up
He wanted to try the space that she takes up
This is Earth to astroknot
There's not a lot of hope for you tonight
And I believe the sun can stay
And rise you through the gray
Well, I'd like to join the circus
And what did I do to deserve this
Hole in my life?
Well in the morning when you wake up
You better check the space you take up
Now isn't that nice? You're bound to your fate
And I won't be coming home tonight
I've hanged myself upstairs
Inside her bedroom closet
And she needs to sleep
And he needs to wake up
He wanted to try
The space that she takes up
This is Earth to astroknot
There's not a lot of hope for you tonight
And I believe the sun can stay
And rise you through this perfect day
In the final days they'll call us
Like monkeys from the forest
We've opened the gate
You're bound to your fate
And I might be a psycho
But I still ride my bicycle
And I won't be coming home tonight
I've hanged myself upstairs
Inside the bedroom closet
And she needs to sleep
And he needs to wake up
He wanted to try
The space that she takes up
This is Earth to astroknot
There's not a lot of hope for you tonight
And I believe the sun can stay
And rouse you through this perfect day

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."
