Have some pittie on an easterner,
Show a little sympathy
No one could possible could be steerner
Than you have been with me,

A.. there's a job that I'm applying for
Let me put it to ya thus
There's a partner ship I'm dien' for
Mr. and Mrs. us

So before you file it on the shelf,
Let me tell you of myself

Oh I'm the chapie to make ya happy
I'll tie your shoesies, and chase you bluesies
Oh lady would ya, could ya use me

Now I'd shake the mat out
And let the cat out
I'll clean the garret
And feed the parrot
Oh lady would ya, oh tell me could ya use me?

Do ya realize what a good man your getting in me?
I'm no elker mason or woodman who gets home at three
The girls that see me grow soft and dreamy
But I'm a gander that wont falander
Oh could ya use me, cause I certainly could use you

There's a chap I know in Mexico
Who's as strong as he can be
Eating nails and drinking Texaco
He is the type for me

There is one I California
More romantic far than you
When he sings ha cha cha chornia
I often think he'll do

But as for you sir, I'm afraid
You will never make the grade

For your no cowboy, your soft, and how, boy
I feel no mussel that's fit for tussle
I must refuse you, I cannot use you

'scuse me

No night life for the
Birds would bore youthe cows wont know you,
A horse would throw you,
You silly man you
To ask me, can you use me?

Ha

Though at love you may be a wizard, I'm wanting to know
Could you warm me up in a blizzard
Say, forty below
Your ties are freakish
Your knees are weakish
Your not a zender, you elbow bender
Though you can use me
I most certainly cant use you

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/

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.
