You look so neat
Everyday is your birthday
You're such a treat
I'm just a drip in your faucet

Before the party's over (make it on over)
Before the highway road ends
Before the day begins (make it on over, now)
There's something I need to say

There's no on else
There's no one quite so perfect
When you're foreign bound
I am the coin in your pocket

Just wait for me the night through (make it on over)
Like I do for you
There's no one left to cry boo-hoo (make it on over, now)
Play it through

You're not like me (not like me)
It seems that people stick like flies to you
And my mystery (my mystery)
Is just that I've no one to cling to

I think that it's the Chinese New Year (make it on over)
Of this I'm fairly clear
And what a better way to celebrate (make it on over, now)
Than run away with little boy blue?

Come along now now now now
Don't think on an offer that you can't refuse
Yesterday's not quite the same let's make it plain
There are things that I can do

Some day we're gonna make it all right
It's a radio that tells me so (it's just a radio)

    This reminds me of old Flaming Lips (which is funny since Fridmann produced many many Lips albums)

    I read that Alec recently married his girlfriend Emily Jean Stock and that this song is dedicated to her. It makes sense if you read through the lyrics with this knowledge.

    I think the person in this song is asking a girl to run off with him and have kids, and basically saying that it's kinda ridiculous to do anything otherwise. He's asking her not to think about or have doubts about something that's so obvious and clear to him, and that he has something to offer her.

    So he lost his love and he's pining for her, telling her the lengths he will go to for her, how much he cares, how he misses her, etc.... pretty straightforwards, lyrically... but such a neat song musically! I don't know, it's a pretty good, typical CYHSY song... reminds me "In This Home on Ice" musically, with Alec's voice in the middle (my mystery)

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
