This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
she stopped by the store after the storm came
her tired eyes were whispering
and her tired body as far as I could see
was nothing that I want to hold close to me
and then without even talking
she said, “take me into the back”
she said, “take me wherever you want me
you’re cold,” or something like that
I said, “babe, I haven’t been doing too much driving
in fact I gave my car to my brother
and babe, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking
in the arms of another
and for the first time in my life
I don’t care anymore, babe
no, I’ve got some things figured out”
she said, “oh yeah, why don’t you come back to my house
and we’ll see if those things you don’t care about
you see my husband, he’s out of town
and we’ve got some things we could work out
and I promise that he won’t find out
and we’ll use my blankets for hideouts
and you can sleep on his side
of the imaginary line that divides us”
I said, “babe, can’t you tell I’m not excited?
and it’s not a line that divides us
it’s a big fucking wall made of fire
and I have lost my desire
to try and save your life (lie)
and die like a firefighter
and die like a firefighter
and die like a firefighter
and die like a firefighter
and die like a firefighter”

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."

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,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
