I know it's nothing more than flutes
But something in my heart is loose
There's never been a better day

And if there is nothing more
Then nothing more will add us say
There's never been a better day

Work that inside outside
Work that more
Work that right side left side
More that more
Inside outside left side work the floor
Inside outside up top down with more
Work that inside outside
Work that more
Work that right side left side more that more
Inside outside left side work the floor
Inside outside up top down with more

I put up on a string today
Deciding never taught me a thing
A wooden box breathes the way

Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again

All this talk is getting me down
Nothing's making sense in my brain
I'm moving words in coarse of today
Trying hard to fix through the pain
I'm waiting to the thought that we came
Only to discover I'm aged
And blow a quart of love in your frame
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down
And watch things drop down

(work that inside outside)
All this talk is getting me down (work that more)
Nothing's making sense in my brain (work that right side left side)
I'm moving words in coarse of today (more that more)
Trying hard to fix through the pain (inside outside left side work the floor)
I'm waiting to the thought that we came (inside outside up top down with more)
Only to discover I'm aged (work that inside outside)
And blow a quart of love in your frame (work that more)
And watch things drop down (work that right side left side more that more)
And watch things drop down (inside outside left side work the floor)
And watch things drop down (inside outside up top down with more)
And watch things drop down

One day you might realize
That you might need to open your eyes
One day you might realize
That you might need to open your eyes


Work that inside outside (Open your eyes)
Work that more
Work that right side left side
More that more (Open your eyes)
Inside outside left side work the floor
Inside outside up top down with more (Open your eyes)
Work that inside outside
Work that more
Work that right side left side more that more (Open your eyes)
Inside outside left side work the floor
Inside outside up top down with more

One day you might realize
That you might need to open your eyes
One day you might realize
That you might need to open your eyes

    I cant believe no one person in this fucking huge world decided to comment on this bomb of a tune. I have no idea what it means, but I know it's one helluva killer!

    That reverb (?) when Alexis starts singing the "All this talk is getting me down..." part IS MIND BLOWING. I was beyond lucky enough to see them at Converse's Represent SF show and they threw down with this song. I had Flutes withdrawals for days and days after, ha ha.

    Great song. A few spots where I think these lyrics listed are off...

    Second verse: And if there is one thing more And nothing more that I say There's never been a better day

    Third verse: I pulled a plug string today Deciding never taught me a thing A wooden box breathes the way

    Fourth verse: All this talk is getting me down Nothing's making sense in my brain I'm moving words across the terrain Trying hard to fix to the page I'm wedded to the thought that we came Only to discover our name And blow a horn of love in refrain

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."

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/
