Oh yeah
I'm always thinking of you and all the things that you do
Self-centered satisfaction no more will I run from you
Dysfunction family values I'll die but i will not fear
Stop talking words of wisdom you fool I'm standing right here

The world is on your shoulders
The weight it's crushing me
Now we're all getting older
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Take it out on me, take it out on me
Take it out on me, take it out on me
Vent your frustration on me

I feel so much destruction in everything that you do
Anger is creeping in me watch i don't explode on you
My rage it comes so quickly one spark and will ignite
Self-harming mutilation cuts deep but the pain feels so right

The world is on your shoulders
The weight it's crushing me
Now we're all getting older
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Take it out on me, take it out on me
Take it out on me, take it out on me
Vent your frustration on me

This fire burns inside
Turning things inside
There's no where left to hide
This fire burns inside
This fire burns inside
This rage can't be denied

The world is on your shoulders
The weight it's crushing me
Now we're all getting older
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Take it out on me, take it out on me
Take it out on me, take it out on me
Vent your frustration on me

Take it out

    I think it's about someone who has a girlfriend that cuts herself and is becoming more and more stresses out because she takes it out on him and blames him, and all he does is try to help her.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
