You've got blue blood on your hands
I think it's my own
We can go down to the streets
And follow the shores
Of all the people
We could be two
Then I bite my nails to the quick
Run back home

You've got blue blood on your hands
I know it's my own
You came at me in the midnight
To show me my soul
Of all the people
I hoped it'd be you
To come and free me, take me away
To show me my home
Where I was born
Where I belong

'Cause you've got blue blood on your hands
I want you to know
I hoped you'd come and take me away
Back to my home
Of all the people
It had to be you
Then I bite my nails to the quick
Run back home

You showed me where to go
To my home, to my home
So take me through the roads
That you know to my home

You've got blue blood on your hands
I know it's my own
You came at me in the midnight
To show me my soul

You showed me where to go
To my home, to my home
So take me through the roads
That you know to my home

Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it (you showed me)
Come with me, accept it, so now you know (where to go, to my home)
Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it (to my home, you showed me)
Come with me accept it, so now you know (where to go, to my home)
To my home

You showed me where to go
To my home, to my home
So take me through the roads
That you know, that you know
That you know
To my home
So take me through the roads
That you know where you know
You showed me where to go, to my home

Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it
Come with me, accept it, so now you know
Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it
Come with me, accept it, so now you know

You've got the blood on your hands
I know it's my own
We can go down to the streets
And follow the shores
Of all the people
I hoped it'd be you
You showed me my way back home
To where I was born
Where I belong
Where I belong

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
