She was screaming bloody murder and I'll never forget
How look of her eyes or the taste of her sweat said
Boy you gotta get away, get away while you can
They've been hiding in the darkness and on every road
And there is nothing you can do that might save your soul
And they're hiding in the shadows and they're here to control
Cause you can't control yourself

So whoa-oh-oh-oh
This is the way it goes
Cause you find me bound and chainless in another's arms
And go-oh-oh-oh
I'm singing it straight to you
Cause I'm leaving you honest
I'm done with the promise
We can't all be caught in

And superficial cigarette burns a storm in the gate
Leaving lovely little letters telling me how to taste
And you can hear him singing chorus after chorus, your fate
Is going to take us to the top
She's got the ashes on her wrist you watch her move her to the beat
And every eerie of the new with everybody she needs
She knows the riddle of the city she can feel it in the streets
She would rather feel a change

So whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

So whoa-oh-oh-oh
This is the way it goes
Cause you find me bound and chainless in another's arms
And go-oh-oh-oh
I'm singing it straight to you
Cause I'm leaving you honest
I'm done with the promise
We can't all be caught in

Why do we have to fight fair
This doesn't have to be our hour
We lose ours
And take my hand here
It shouldn't be that hard to be
Just her and me

So whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

So whoa-oh-oh-oh
This is the way it goes
Cause you find me bound and chainless in another's arms
And go-oh-oh-oh
I'm singing it straight to you
Cause I'm leaving you honest
I'm done with the promise
We can't all be caught in

    "Cause you find me bound and shameless in another's arms"

    I love this EP & I love Jason Lancaster.

    They're relationship was on the rocks. She catches him with another girl and he's admits "I'm singing it straight to you oh oh oh Cause I'm leaving you honest And sealed with a promise"

    If there's going to be a fight he's asking her to be honest about her argument because they could both feel it ending. He's saying it doesn't have to be a big deal, they both knew they were in the final stages of their relationship, so it doesn't need to be drawn out "This doesn't have to be our hour, we lose hours".

    Admitting that what he did was was wrong, but he isn't perfect because "We can't all be god's and superstars"

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
