Heiden Heiland
'n klapsoen het my onkant gevang
my lewer mis ons tye saam
'n neofiet van neongeaard
verdierlik losbandig
nadoodse ondersoek
sou bepaal
vals hoop
vals tande
vals hart
vermy vir my
vermy vir my
in 'n monochroom diskoteek
het ek my een voet in die graf gesteek
die troukoors is so dik dis tasbaar
dit laat my nekhare rys
jy wil nie
nie nou nie
ek wil jou ys breek
maar jou water wil nie stol nie
"jy was 'n kind
en al die helder wete
van bloed en maagdelikheid
was eenmaal in jou oë" *
onbevlek en half bewusteloos
vergewe my
my doodgeid
maar al die ouens lyk halfskeef hier
ek wil nie op die dansbaan broeknaai nie
my lotus my roos
my vingers sny
deur jou dorings
ek wil jou seermaak
en ek wil seerkry
vermy vir my
vermy vir my
'n meteoriese reis
na die noorderlig
'n valskerm vir ingeval ons spring
dis ver en ons tuig is aanmekaar geslaan
lukraak
aanmekaar geslaan
ek wil nie
uitbrand nie
jy't op my gemors
en nie jammer gesê nie
en ek was 'n kind
en al die helder wete
van bloed en maagdelikheid
bly eenmaal in my oë
ek soek myself
het jy hom dalk gesien?
hy's 'n paar jaar jonger
en sy hare is korter
hy dink nie dat daar iemand is
wat hom agtervolg nie.
jy ken my nie vir lank nie
daar is nog niks
wat jy verkeerd kon doen nie
ek bly 'n kind en al die helder wete
van bloed en maagdelikheid bly
altyd in my oë

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

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,
