This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Let the sun beat through the clouds
Let me kiss you on the mouth
All my childhood toys with chew marks in your smile
Let me hold your syrup close to mine
Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine
And I want you like the movies, touch me now
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you
Did I dream you were a tourist
In the Arizona sun?
I can see you there with lunar moths
And watermelon gum
I woke up in the sleeping bag
With nowhere else to run
You're standing in the bathroom
Telling me it's all in fun
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you
I can whisper in your ear
I can write a calendar year
I can wing around your Saturn smile, shout at the moon
I walked the tension wire line
And I learned to disrespect the signs
And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you, you, you, you
Let me kiss you on the mouth
All my childhood toys with chew marks in your smile
Let me hold your syrup close to mine
Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine
And I want you like the movies, touch me now
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you
Did I dream you were a tourist
In the Arizona sun?
I can see you there with lunar moths
And watermelon gum
I woke up in the sleeping bag
With nowhere else to run
You're standing in the bathroom
Telling me it's all in fun
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you
I can whisper in your ear
I can write a calendar year
I can wing around your Saturn smile, shout at the moon
I walked the tension wire line
And I learned to disrespect the signs
And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you, you, you, you

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song continues to grow on me even now, 20 years later. Dark ugly mean lusty seedy semen. This is the ugly side of sexuality.
This song is about Stipe's relationship with River Phoenix apparently. "Did I dream you were a tourist, in the Arizona sun?" is a typically oblique reference from Stipe. The album (Monster) is dedicated to him as well.
Monster is one of their best albums, and the best they did in the 90s (along with Automatic For The People)
I both agree and disagree with charlieray's and Marquez's interpretations of this song, above:
Yes, Monster is filled with songs that can be described as "mean and creepy", but I DON'T necessarily think "You" is one of them. It could be about River Phoenix; guess we'll never know, but in any case Stipe confirmed he wrote it to a man. (No big surprise there)
To me, this song is like a lust-drenched dream from which the singer wakes up yearning for the person he was dreaming of - someone who seems to be unavailable to him in real life for whatever reason.
Maybe the object of the singer's love/lust has died or changed dramatically somehow. Or maybe it's an unrequieted love situation or a relationship that's already broken up. Regardless, the singer stills wants this person desperately and is feeding his fantasies with past memories.
what album is this on?
It's on the "Monster" album, which came out in 1994
this song is so hot.
i think i am one of very few people who love this album.
I don't see how anyone could not like this album even in the least bit. Automatic, Monster, and Hi-Fi are their best works.
no, murmur, Reckoning, document, automatic, & Hi-Fi are the best they've ever done. but regardless this album is still quite solid, just requires a few more spins than most of their albums to grasp its depth.
i think its a song about lust, only one thats drenched in dirty guitar. maybe thats symbolic - that sort of relationship. one of monsters high points in my opinion. i love the line 'i learned to disrespect the signs' - makes me think that he no longer trusts his instinct
