Beware the Beijing massive and sandal men with sacks
Though you've gone all organic, your phone's still being tapped
And all those craven idols in detention, they're fried
Think I'm being followed and taken for a ride

He took a picture of my eye and he lied and lied
Told me what might happen, no hits yet but there's nowhere to hide
Took a picture of my eye and he tried and tried
Tried to make me nervous and to keep us terrified

If you're worry 'bout house prices if they drop the dirty bomb
At least you've got an iPod and you rip the bird flu song
Worry 'bout my children, court orders apply
Still I'm getting nervous, here comes the FBI

He took a picture of my eye and he lied and lied
Told me what might happen, no hits yet but there's nowhere to hide
Took a picture of my eye and he tried and tried
Tried to make me nervous and to keep us terrified

Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride

She's under the flight path and she's terrified
Locked up in her bedroom... afraid to go outside
All this morbid fascination to control
And keep us terrified

He took a picture of my eye and he lied and lied
Told me what might happen, no hits yet but there's nowhere to hide
Took a picture of my eye and he tried and tried
Tried to make me nervous and to keep us terrified

Panic's at the pump 'cause we're running out of juice
Butterflies and oligarchs to their own ends and use
Dig a trench on the riverbank to turn back the tide
On a hiding to nothing when our two worlds collide

He took a picture of my eye and he lied and lied
Told me what might happen, no hits yet but there's nowhere to hide
Took a picture of my eye and he tried and tried
Tried to make me nervous and to keep us terrified

Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride

She's under the flight path and she's terrified
Locked up in her bedroom... afraid to go outside
All this morbid fascination to control
And keep us terrified

They're just trying
They're just trying
To keep us terrified

It's designed
It's designed
To keep us terrified
To keep us terrified
To keep us terrified
To keep us terrified

They keep us terrified

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.
