Betty knows about her man
And anything goes what she can
Pure as the gold he sent her, her heart is an open book
But to fight is to feel her heart get hurt

And I never sugared up my shames
That's that, you know it's no mistake
And I always played by the rules that you had set
But you broke them and pushed me away, lest we forget

She is my own Caroline now
She has no heart but she dreams in old fashion ways
And if you wanted to find her
I'll help you on your way

I love her from the distance
She always beckons me to play
And if I knew that should stay for a little while
I would see that you get your deserves, don't you dare smile

She is my own Caroline now
She has no heart but she dreams in old fashion ways
And if you wanted to find her
I'll help you on your way
I'll help you on your way

'Cause I'm a lie, you always said I'd love
To my surprise I'll ever worship your horrifies
There's dust in my eyes, please, don't you dare come burst in here
Cause Betty's not in here

She is my own Caroline now
She has no heart but she dreams in old fashion ways
And if you wanted to find her
I'll help you on your way
I'll help you on your way

    "She is my own Caroline now" is surely a reference to Kirty MaColl's 'Caroline' where the late,great KMc sang about being the other woman behind a good friend's back who she could no longer face.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
