It's a travesty, where do I begin?
The ways in which I have behaved
I'm glad no one was keeping track of me

Like the tambourine, driven by the beat
I forgot what time it was
I wish someone were looking out for me

Some of you may think that I regret some of my doings
I'd do it all again if I had the chance

Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled
Just like Lazeny

Like the swirling sun, I haven't burned out
It's better to... etc.
I won't bore you with these things we tend to say

Like a fairytale, with blood on every page
My failures brought about some blessings
Someone must be watching out for me

Even though I wonder why I did some of my doings
I'd do it all again if I had the change

Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled
Just like Lazeny

Just like Lazenby
Just like Lazenby
Burning every bridge
Endless opportunities I squandered on the way to this event
Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled
And reluctantly begged forgiveness
Just like Lazeny

    My Opinion

    This song has to be about George Lazenby, the ONLY guy who played Bond only once. Never got a second try.... Where else have you ever heard the name Lazenby?

    General Comment

    After starring in On Her Majesty's Secret Service George Lazenby turned down a multi-picture, multi-million dollar deal to keep playing James Bond. It was 1969 and Lazenby was convinced by his manager that Bond would no longer be relevant in the 1970s so he walked away from it all and lived out the rest of his life in relative obscurity (at least compared to the other actors who portrayed 007 and went on to prosperous careers afterwards). He also managed to piss off pretty much everyone he worked with on the film hence the lyrics:

    "Burning every bridge. Endless opportunities I squandered on the way to this event. Just like Lazenby."

    Weird sad story. Some people say his was the worst Bond movie. Others say it may have been the best. Only time will tell...

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."
