Well look who it is, been a little while since you been up in my biz
And you just had to come this bar, this night, all right
Well you know it's my spot, never mind I'm sure that you forgot
Do you even know my name, I bet we all do look the same

I'm the one that you kept waiting, kept speculating, kept anticipating
While I was keeping faith you kept calculating, so frustrating
Like a clock that ticks and ticks but never moves and never grooves
Ain't got the time for waiting

You know what, there's a bar
I don't even really know who you are
Hey your new man wants to fight, I see him right there, like you don't have a type
I know everybody working, and they know you, they saw you lurking
They remember you jerking my chain, so your drinks never come

And you can blame the one that you kept waiting
Kept speculating, kept anticipating
While I was keeping faith you kept calculating, so frustrating
Like a clock that ticks and ticks but never moves and never grooves
Ain't got the time for waiting

You know I changed my life for you
For promises that won't come true
I'd do it all again you know
You can't give up on love
But for someone that who cares
Isn't only out for theirs
I'm just waiting, anticipating someone who will treat me great
Knows that I ain't second rate and wants a love that feels like fate
Doesn't use their love for bait to get what they want and keep you hating
Thank you for the education, no more need for conversation!

I'm the one that you kept waiting, kept speculating, kept anticipating
While I was keeping faith you kept calculating, so frustrating
Like a clock that ticks and ticks but never moves and never grooves
Aint got the time for waiting
I ain't got the time for waiting
I ain't got the time!

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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/
