Jackie was the focus of my fantasies
There was passion in the schoolyard
Upon the autumn leaves
Cuttin' class was gettin' easy
Throwin' good sense down the drain
While your touch would always please me
It was love that eased the pain
Believin' that good times forever last
Our love is a thing of the past
Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again
I was head over heels, I was hard in love
I put Jackie on a pedestal so high above
Rock 'n' roll became our savior
That alone was all it took
And when it came to fool behavior
Me and Jackie, we wrote the book
Believin' that good friends forever last
Now love is a thing of the past
Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again
Jackie stay I'm living each day
In the streets of the city callin' your name
Jackie please, this is insane
Let's do it again
In the beginning all the time we spent together
Never further than a heartbeat away
Did you try and tell me, Jackie you were leavin'
I couldn't see beyond yesterday
(Jackie) Jackie Don't Go (Jackie)
Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again
Jackie stay I'm living each day
In the streets of the city callin' your name
Jackie please, this is insane
Let's do it again
Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
