Catch me running around the town, if you can.
My heart on my sleeve and the world in my hands.
Where do we go, where do we stand?
You dream but you never move, so don't be mad when I do.

Patiently waiting to give up everything I got,
start thinking about my future at the number one spot.
My friends think they lost me.
But I'm still the same me.

Hooligans
Got big hearts but they're just some kids
Cali made, flashy sins.
Need nobody 'cause we know where we fit in.

I'm so close to the edge of the life that I sacrificed and strived for.
But you've buried everything we used to fight for.
(That we used to fight for)

Set it off!

Patiently waiting to give up everything I got,
start thinking about my future at the number one spot.
My friends think they lost me.
But I would never change.

And I would sell out my pride when everybody wanna say,
"You never gave a damn 'bout your boys in the first place."
Old Dena raised me.
And the road will never change me!

Hooligans
Got big hearts but they're just some kids
Cali made, flashy sins.
Need nobody 'cause we know where we fit in.

To everyone who stuck around, this one's for you.
They may say, "We're a lost cause."
But they don't see what I do.

Ooh, oo-whoa [3x]
Oo-whoa,
Oo-whoa

Hooligans
Got big hearts but they're just some kids
Cali made, flashy sins.
Need nobody 'cause we know where we fit in.

    My Interpretation

    It's just about kids being kids. We mean well, but we're young and just some kids. It's about living it up while your young, and not changing just to grow up.

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
