The battle of France is over
Congratulations, you've joined the ranks of all the rest

Was it her face that invaded your mind?
Her kind isn't that hard to find
She lets you think that you found her first
That's how she works, her sick and twisted gypsy curse

[Bridge]
She can swallow knives
She can swallow lives
Gold and black stare
Brought the night of your demise

[Chorus]
Try to run away with a gypsy woman
Here today, then gone for good
Can't get away with a Gypsy woman
Thought no one would know your secrets down below (but ya)
Can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
Can't go with her
Can't go
The Gypsy woman

This is her favorite game to play
She's got you stumblin', stumble, st-st-stumblin'
Talks with a grin 'cause she's got no shame
Enjoyed the fame, bringing down the family name

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

She can rob you blind with just one look from those eyes
Out of all the thieves that trained her
None of them could tame her

[Chorus]

Tried to run away with a Gypsy woman
Here today, then gone for good
Can't get away with a Gypsy woman
Thought no one would know your secrets down below
Can't go, can't go with her [Repeat: x3]
Can't go (with) the Gypsy woman

Can't go, can't go with her [Repeat: x3]
Can't go, the Gypsy woman

Tell me, was it worth it?
Can you say it's worth it?
Tell me, was it working?
Can you tell me it was worth it?

The battle of France is over

    The song is definitely about Hilarys Dad's affair with another woman. ('Enjoy the fame, bringing down the family name') Although you would suspect it would be about Nicole Richie, it's not true. She is quoted saying that it is about her Dad.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
