This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
A says he's glad to be here, b's chasing storms in the lightning state,
Where everyday above the ground is a good day, and your life is great.
A's got a cocaine body, b's got a benylin brain,
A knows he's gonna be somebody, b don't believe in fame.
And all our time slips away
A's got a girl for each season, b's got a mail order bride,
A knows he's headed for salvation, b's afraid to die.
If hell is in the detail, babe, I'm a microscope,
I know I'll live to see you swinging, given enough rope.
And all our time slips away
A's growing tired of conversation, he's already for his final scene,
B's whistling hotel California, and still living out the dream.
Here we are together, let's role the dice one more time,
Odd number says we walk away now, even says we die…don't wanna die.
And all our time slips away
And all our time slips away
Where everyday above the ground is a good day, and your life is great.
A's got a cocaine body, b's got a benylin brain,
A knows he's gonna be somebody, b don't believe in fame.
And all our time slips away
A's got a girl for each season, b's got a mail order bride,
A knows he's headed for salvation, b's afraid to die.
If hell is in the detail, babe, I'm a microscope,
I know I'll live to see you swinging, given enough rope.
And all our time slips away
A's growing tired of conversation, he's already for his final scene,
B's whistling hotel California, and still living out the dream.
Here we are together, let's role the dice one more time,
Odd number says we walk away now, even says we die…don't wanna die.
And all our time slips away
And all our time slips away

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."

Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
My favorite Tom McRae song...I love how he compares them...and his voice is to die for. It's kind of like Jeff Buckley, but it's different.
Really great song. Very deep and weird and mystical. About two total opposites in every way.
Could it be about just one person? I feel that it is. We are all conflicted inside.
i think comparing him to jeff buckley is outrageous. jeff is in a league of his own. this song is nice. actually LOVE it.
The ends of the verses remind me of the songs my dad plays. It's interesting how B's starts out life unhappy, but ends up enjoying it more than A did. Perhaps a life lesson for some people out there?
