Hey rabbit, you've had it
Your fingers are in the coin disposal
Hey, worm, you're tunneling out
You would not listen to their proposal

The springs in the mattress
Will never reveal how I entered
In a hospital ward across a billboard

The girl who collects shells
Has gone back to the coast
Hearing voices in car parks
Pull a diamond from your sleeve

Hey, badger, you're punches out
Your mouth is around an aerosol can
Well, they want you to sink
But you stood up and swam

Ideas are like sparrows
They dart down the hall, the chimney and out of the spout
Down a worm hole and back up my mouth

The girl who collects shells
Has gone back to the coast
Hearing voices in car parks
Pull a diamond from your sleeve

No one these days says thank you
When you open doors for them anymore
Well, I made you rich and you made me poor

    I think this is a song about eco awareness and the way the world,in all its capitalistic glory is destroying nature.also its about the changing of times but not in a good way.the last line backs up the whole capitalistic idea because you know "i made you rich,and you made me poor" i think this is in a bigger sense of the word poor as in destroying the simple things in nature that are dear to us.iv seen him twice live he's brilliant an absolute poet and breath of fresh air with todays music scene.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."
