The worst part

every hour of every day

can you hear them

there's no escape

but the truth is

there's a line that we all cross

I've been crossed out

we all get crossed out


All the same sad lives

all the love that disappears

we are aching bones

and wasted years


We have few regrets

save it for every night alone

in the sinking ship and haunted home


Out of the blue out into the loneliest place that you'll ever know.

I carried the world just as far as I could but the damage had taken it's tole.


You used to call my name every hour of every day

how I live to hear that sound

but every sound gets washed away

we wash away


We are not as strong

we have almost disappeared

all the love we shared

was destroyed years ago


All the days and nights

days of having lots of lies

as the clockwork creeps on useless lives


Out of the blue out into the loneliest place that you'll ever know.

I carried the world just as far as I could but the damage had taken its tole


You used to call my name every hour of every day

how I live to hear that sound

but every sound gets washed away


And the years have been unkind

we no longer have control

and we used to make a smile

Pursue the sound and lock the door

We are no more


I wrote a letter, a letter to write from the start

I married the madness who left me alone in the dark

wrote down her a letter "I'll shiver without you tonight"

I did everything right

I did everything I thought was right


I did everything right

I did everything I thought was right


I did everything right

I did everything I thought was right


You used to call my name

every hour of every day

how I live to hear that sound

but every sound gets washed away

we wash away

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
