Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
Let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown

Anybody ever had a dream wouldn't wake up
And lose it over me
Anybody ever stole a scene wouldn't need to
If they could only be
Strangely serene facing the shakedown

Nobody ever ran the race and came out
The same as they went in
Nobody in a sacred place need leave it
If they could only bring
Some sense of grace for them to lay down

Hold this terrifying love
A charm against the cold
Do this and think of me
And let the world unfold

Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
So let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown

Everybody in the neighbourhood wouldn't move on
If they could only see
Everybody for the common good shout something
Apart from look at me
Just watch the screen when the mirror breaks down

You with all that you could own
Are trying to be true
And wait so patiently
For a bolt from out the blue

Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
So let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown

Show me something I can use
A stone that I can throw
Or shall I turn away
And fall into the flow

Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
Let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown

Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
Let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown

We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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."

Plastic Bag
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.
