Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I do declare I was surprised to see you stay
only to be betrayed by the one you gave all your love and trust to
And tell me how could I let go
Since I caught a glimpse of your immense soul
You were dancing to northern soul
Just one glance, and well you know...
There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake, she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame my lord now,
Oh There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again my lord now
I was to implore that you forget all you saw
When you came through my door and from your bag
You pulled out more skag than I'd ever seen
No! how could I let go?
Since I caught a glimpse of your white plimsoles
Twisting and turning to northern soul
Just once glance, ah well you know,
Everybody knows
There she goes a little heartache
The she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame my lord now
There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again
There she goes a little, there she, there she, there she goes
only to be betrayed by the one you gave all your love and trust to
And tell me how could I let go
Since I caught a glimpse of your immense soul
You were dancing to northern soul
Just one glance, and well you know...
There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake, she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame my lord now,
Oh There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again my lord now
I was to implore that you forget all you saw
When you came through my door and from your bag
You pulled out more skag than I'd ever seen
No! how could I let go?
Since I caught a glimpse of your white plimsoles
Twisting and turning to northern soul
Just once glance, ah well you know,
Everybody knows
There she goes a little heartache
The she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame, dirty road to fame my lord now
There she goes a little heartache
There she goes a little pain
Make no mistake she sheds her skin like a snake
You're going to walk the plank again, walk the plank again
There she goes a little, there she, there she, there she goes

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Well, my bet is, seeing as Mr. Doherty sees the La's as an influence, it shouldn't have escaped his notice that their most famous song is called "There She Goes", and that this one owes much to the Lovecats by the Cure. What with Delivery being a Kinks ripoff; Shotter's Nation is miles below anything the Libertines ever issued. Still, if this song is seen more as a tribute than a theft, it's probably one of the better ones on the album. Definitely a tribute to Kate Moss though.
This song is from before Kate I believe. It seems that he has met a young girl who is a bit of a social climber. When he sends her off so he can continue his downward spiral of excess and self loathing, she returns...bearing the fruit (skag) that he cannot refuse, despite himself. He wants her to move on without him, forget his celebrity, forget the life she is fascinated with, but he cannot refuse her for she has found the one thing...that he cannot turn away.
I had a girl like this once. I couldnt see her for anything, despite her facination with me. Just one taste, and she was hooked harder than i've ever seen. I turned her away for good, but when she came back, i hated her more than anything...because she found the only thing that could let me tolerate her.
smashing tune.
Heckleton, if you're referring to The Lovecats by The Cure, i can totally understand where you're coming from! every time this song comes on, I think of Lovecats.
what a fucking tune!!
kate moss?
anybody ever heard a little song called "Love Cats."
aye, kate moss i reckon.
yeah kate moss. puling skag from her bag!
that my guess too.
