Vienna can you hear me?
Lazing on the afternoon
Cathedral bells
A ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
Ringing the sound

Winter can't ignore her
Spring will bring her back to blossoms
Summer bring her back to me now
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Shoulder to shoulder
Be back in a month I told her
Wishing well
I wish I, wish I, wish I, wish I
Wish her with me

Vienna was machst du?
I'm running through the streets of Zurich
Calling all the trains in Europe
To bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Anything I got to do
Anything I got to do now
Anything I go to do to be

Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Vienna can you hear me?
Lazing on the afternoon
Cathedral bells
A ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
Ringing the sound

Winter can't ignore her
Spring will bring her back to blossoms
And summer bring her back to me now
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Anything I got to do
Anything I got to do now
Anything I go to do to be

Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

    LOVE IT! It kind of reminds me of JJ's Belle. The spacing and punctuation on the lyrics is a little off and stuff though...


    Vienna can you hear me lazing on the afternoon? Cathedral bells are ringing a sound Winter can't ignore her Spring'll bring her back with blossons Summer bring her back to me now Bring her back to me

    Shoulder to shoulder, be back in a month a told her Wishing wells I wish her with me Vienna vas machs du I'm running through the streest of Zurich Calling all the trains in Europe to bring her to me

    Anything I got to do now

    Anything I got to do to be... Back with happy Mondays Sleeping in on Sundays

    Just bring her to me

    Love how it says "Vienna vas machs du" in the booklet. It's supposed to be "Vienna was machst du" meaning "Vienna what are you doing".

    Wow kick ass song. The guy just wants his girl alongside him. I'm glad he decided to repeat the verses because usually quiet songs like these only end up lasting like 2.5 minutes.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
