Pack your bags I've got a cab outside now
Don't want to rush you but its time to decide now
Time to swim against the tide
Forget your make-up let me look in your eyes, yeah
No more excuses left theres no where to hide them
Kiss everyone you know goodbye
No turning back for you or I

Cos we're sailing off the edge of the world
Discovering what we have lost
And what we might have learned
Never to return
We're sailing off the edge of the world
Discovering what we have lost
And what we might have learned
Never to return

Safe beneath another Indian summer
Life in a suitcase holding on to each other
No one knows what we will find
Floating to safety from another disaster
Spending our money just as along as it lasts
When we surrender take my hand
When theres no hope of sighting land

Cos we're sailing off the edge of the world
Discovering what we have lost
And what we might have learned
Never to return
We're sailing off the edge of the world
Living like Fu Man Chu
With nothing else to do
Never to return (Never to return)

Kiss everyone you know goodbye
No turning back for you or I

Cos we're sailing off the edge of the world
Discovering what we have lost
And what we might have learned
Never to return
We're sailing off the edge of the world
Living like Fu Man Chu
With nothing else to do
Never to return
Never to return
Never to return

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."

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.
