This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Can you blatantly say looking straight in her face
That you aren't telling tales to her.
If you never tell a lie to her,
You don't have to remember anything,
It all goes out the window when,
I try to do it myself,
Can you blatantly say looking straight in her face that you aint telling tales to her.
That you never get stressed when she questions events you'll be best to forget.
Can you actually blag when the lamb glances when you prang and your chatting,
That if you had the chance to go back to her pad for a passionate act you wouldn't have it?
Oi, why's that then?
Its 'cause the reason you been faithful is
Its been so good
You never seen temptation
Deep down you hear the mans burden
We all have a mans burden
You'll always be a bad person
It's getting you down
You were letting her down,
You were tempted and failed.
You showed her up,
You need to be owning up you need to show her you love her for once.
It was an extreme circumstance it was she that advanced
She defeated you gradually
So you must then be honest you must then get on this.
Mend the wrong shit.
If you never tell a lie to her,
You don't have to remember anything,
It all goes out the window when,
I try to do it myself
Oi oi, so why you wanna phone up?
Why you wanna own up?
You were selfish and so dumb.
To ease it off your chest, to be relieved of the mess that's being proper selfish,
I been in some broken moments I know what goes on the road but there's a road you chose however coked
Up your brain you know you chose to strain you know it was your game oi
But it makes you see things clearer
It was weird though man
But you didn't wanna be with her
Seriously back home
If a girl was to even hear
It would spare her weak heart
She have no fear
The chance to see the fit thing naked will spell and memorize you.
You'll disregard the ways the lady in your life inspires you.
Which is why to day she tires of you, you'll be crying and howling.
And if you had the chance to go back to her pad for a passionate act you wont allow it.
But if your plans for a chance to go back ain't even had.
Then the passionate act won't happen, 'cause you plan not to have the chance,
Rewind back if that sounded fast.
Oi you can't think straight, you gotta avoid the situation ignore what she's doing.
You may be mugged if you trust too much but it will fuck you up more worrying about trust
If you never tell a lie to her,
You don't have to remember anything,
It all goes out the window when,
I try to do it myself
You may be mugged if you trust too much
But it will more fuck you up
It will more fuck you up worrying about trust
That you aren't telling tales to her.
If you never tell a lie to her,
You don't have to remember anything,
It all goes out the window when,

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is top tune, but i thought he said;
it's getting you down you were letting her down, You were tempted and bailed....not FAiled
Your post has been sent to MI5 for investigation. I suggest you take it down before further action is taken. I have no alliance with any such organization, i have simply hacked into a database which has directed me to this specific comment.
I think it's pretty self-explanatory, like a lot of the streets are. But it's a beautiful song.
I believe this song's about a guy who cheats on the one person he really loves, and tells her.
Great line at the end though, for all of us worriers "You may be mugged if you trust too much but it will fuck you up more worrying about trust."
That line really says a lot.
Fook yeah.
; such an honest song. not that it excuses anything.! love it lots like jelly tots :] x
What a great tune. The song is pretty self-explanatory. Be open, trust, and don't put yourself in positions to cheat. Then you'll have nothing to worry about.
My take on this is he's saying if you're the cheating sort, at least be an honest cheat and treat the one you actually love well. Like if you're living this life on the road and you're not going to be a monogamous person, don't disrespect your partner by pretending you're going to be monogamous and expecting them to be so to you while you're gone. Then treat each other well and trust it doesn't mean there is no love. Then you don't have to remember the one offs or worry about their one offs. When you're together, be so good to each other you don't worry about whether or not you should trust. It's not for everyone but it at least makes it more likely you're with a like-minded person.
