I been keeping it to myself
I been thinking about it all day long
I got nobody I can blame
They say what goes around surely comes around

I wouldn't dream of trying to complicate your life
You don't need to change anything you do
Because
I don't want it all

I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life
I read my paper and get depressed
No point in hanging around waiting for a call
I don't expect you to read my mind

This time I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel
I need the thought of stealing a moment with you
So I can just keep holding on
Because

I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all

I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
Do you think you want to be free this time
I'll do anything to make you mine

I'll do anything
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to

I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
I don't want it all

I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel

Something good is happening in my life
I been keeping it to myself
Thinking about it all day long
I just need some time

I don't want it all
I just need to feel something good
I just need some time
I just need some time

A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life

I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all

I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to

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."
