Good luck means nothing to me
So exactly what does that mean
For me now have I given up
On almost everything

My scars are easy to see
Haunting reminders indeed
And they still bleed
For the first time I'm down on my knees

Begging, pleading now
Intercede please show me how

If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?
If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?

You're asking nothing of me
Just say goodbye and I'm free
It's so easy, I don't understand
But I want it more than anything

Can't seem to begin to release
This guilty conscience for peace
It's so hard till I'm back here
I'm back on my knees

Begging, pleading now
Intercede please show me how

If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?
If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?

Guilt has got the best of me
I'm holding on to almost nothing
Wondering if innocence
Could ever lead to my forgiveness

If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?
If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?

Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me? Guilty
Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me? Guilty

Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me? Guilty
Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me?

    This song is interesting one of my fav. songs. The lead singer is expressing his belief in Jesus when others doubt it.

    if I was innocent, would you take the blame for me (He's asking would anyone else shoulder the sins he is accused for. Which is something Jesus did for all of us.)

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
