15
And I’m sparking a joint
In the park with the boys chatting fart making noise
The girls are on a bench way over there in the distance to put space between our best means of resistance
It’s getting dark and we all want to kiss them but we don’t have a clue what to do so we just dis them
Too embarrassed to talk it over then John is like hold on somebody is walking over
Oh no yo it’s two other girls
Other half of the the species confusing our world
If they choose you it proves you’ve matured to the world
Fingers crossed in my pocket foot’s moving the dirt
Never sure whether they’re going to smile or bite you
They walk right over like they’re ready to fight you
They both look at me and say “Jessica likes you”
My mind goes numb my mouth is like “alright, cool”
Man let me tell you about Jessica Brown
Every single maths lesson I’ve been checking her out
There’s something in her face that makes my chest want to shout
And that freckle by the neck of blouse I’m like wow
Turns out she’s been checking me to and no one ever asked her out she’d been expecting me to
Just for good measure extra pressure to boot
Now my penalty's up but am I ready to shoot?
At this point I know I’m supposed to follow them
And if anyone has kissing techniques I want to borrow one
I can’t swallow and the possible horror of tomorrow if I get it wrong its got me hollow I can’t breathe
Man it would be worse if I run so I can’t leave
And I’ve got no control over the bones in my knees
My friends are egging me on telling me if you run now you’ll regret it believe
Next thing I know we’re in the middle of the park her friends, my friends watch from afar
Neither one of us is sure where to start
The stars are coming out the whole park’s getting dark
She looks at me, my mind goes numb
And I try to fight the urge to just pull her hair and run
Next thing I know her tongue's touching my tongue
And I’m not sure if I’m doing it right but I’m like nice one
For some reason I’m closing my eyes
The whole park melts and we’re frozen in time
Her hand’s on my shoulder I’m holding her side Then my hand goes down slowly strokes her behind
I don’t know why what a Joker am I
Oh no in my mind something is poking her thigh
It’s not how it was supposed to unfold I won’t lie
But she’s holding me tight just to show me it’s fine
This girl’s wicked and I wish we could kiss forever
I hear my name and I try not to listen
Open my eyes I’m in the fetal position in my bed aged ten not even dreaming of kissing
Even getting into my clothes feels like a mission
But I smell fried dumpling from down in the kitchen
No television in my room like I’m wishing
But there’s football to play to the park is my decision
Mum shouts “ I hope you’ve got your vest on”
And even though I know that I don’t I’m like “yes mum“
I know now it’s best never to test mum
Forget TV detectives believe she’s the best one
I can’t stop mum kickoff’s at two
Boy come back after seven you catch a lick of my shoe
I smile as I leave rally, burn up the street
Two dumplings I’m eating to quickly to chew
And now it’s 34 all
Steve gets the ball out on the right
Cuts back inside square ball to John
John goes to turn the crowd shouts “Man on”
Pass back to Steve who lets loose a shot you won’t believe
Top right hand corner out of Goalkeepers reach
The team goes mad “Pile on” behind the goal
I’m like “what’s the time, 20 to 9”
I’m like “oh”
Racking my brain for an excuse
Even though I know it’s no use I still choose to make one
Mum will take none but I’ve got to say something
Close the front door
Can still smell the dumpling
I can’t see mum so I dump my stuff
Just enough time to make tea and butter her up
“What time do you call this”
I don’t reply just act surprised
And close my eyes to get licked
But the licks don’t come
I stand struck dumb
Count down from five to one
The I slowly open my eyes to my surprise I stand dressed smart I’m now 21
Well done son mum gives me a hug
Young man grown up graduated and done
She wears her best clothes and I don’t suppose she knows her son owes the man ten grand for fun
But right now it doesn't matter
She’s sat chatting with Jess’s mum and dad over a cold platter
They’re all laughing how we’re still together
As we sit to the side with their wine they get leathered
She looks amazing
Better than I ever in those lessons when she drove me crazy
She looks at me a little nod that maybe it’s a bout time to tell them that we are having a baby
Open my eyes I’m 29
My 8 year old son wants to learn how to rhyme
Standing at the foot of our bed and off the top of his head he spits a flow showing perfect time
You know that deserves a smile
Ok lets get dressed brush your teeth and lets work on style
Get your clothes on and don’t forget your vest lad
And even thought I know that he won’t he like yes dad
A cup of tea in my mug that says best dad
More rhymes in the house that be driving Jess mad
She just smile as she sips her tea
And as I tickle her feet he comes back with his best pad
Alright, First thing you must observe the time
A good flow is like a fossil it preserves the time
And the only thing of worth you can learn from mine
Is that the spaces between words deserve to shine
You’ve got to find your own style son
And if the flow feels right to you the rhyme’s done
Sometimes looking back in time is good
Because somethings don’t change as you find what you love
Speak what you know breathe deep as you flow
Some people are going to bite you to keep the light down
But they can say what they like but when you’re gripping the mic make sure that you are right for right now

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
