We're Aztec priests, so mind your head
Our victims always wind up dead
Our favourite colour is blood red
We are not nice!

Had an Aztec temple opening day
We priests would please our gods this way
Hearts of enemies we'd slay
Mass sacrifice...

To win at war, make crops grow more
To cure our kids when ill
The sun to shine, this song to rhyme
More victims we must kill...

Ha ha ha ha
You won't survive, you won't survive
Ha ha ha ha
Ain't staying alive, ain't staying alive
Yeaaah!

With sacrifice, we priests appease
Our gods, each powerful big cheese
Lets hear it for your favourite please
Haaaah-a-a-ah!

We're doing it for Toci!
The Aztec goddess at the Earth's heart
We're doing this for Chantigo!
Goddess who makes volcanoes start

We're doing this for Itzli!
The goddess of stone knives
We're doing it for Itzpapalotlometeotlchiconahuiehecatl
Err..some other gods' great lives!

Ha ha ha ha
Don't cross us Aztecs, we advise ya
Ha ha ha ha
Or you'll end up as fertiliser
Yeaaah!

Our year starts in November
When every priestly member
Is asked if they'll remember
Our Aztec dead...

We do this, if you haven't guessed
By getting something off your chest
Your heart would probably be best
Or else your head...

And then on our year planners
It's the raising of the banners
And it's only polite manners
To kill more guys...

December and January
Dismembering methods vary
All you need to know is that
We pill them high...

May and June, it's summer time
The killing is easy
It's only halfway through the year
Bet you're feeling queasy!

In autumn time, we sweep our home
And kill some more but then
By late October, the killing's over
Then it starts up again!

Ha ha ha ha
You won't survive, you won't survive
Ha ha ha ha
Ain't staying alive, ain't staying alive!

Ha ha ha ha
Want to live until you're old?
Ha ha ha ha
Avoid us priests- you've been told...

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

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.
