One emotion
It's all over the place
You let it get out
It cuts in your face

One emotion
Back of a shop
Everybody wants what the next guy's got

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Don't think I don't trust
People trample people on the daily bus

One emotion
Fighting through the night
And if you can keep your buttons down
When it gets right

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Smokin' through the town
Banging on the doors
And (???)

One emotion
Boy meets girl
Smashing (???)
It's that kind of world

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Moving out loud
Better get your weapon ready
Walking through the crowd

One emotion
Back of a shop
Everybody wants what the next guy's got

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Emotion

    amazing song, it was cut off from GIVE EM ENOUGH ROPE, anyway,one of my fav songs by the guys, so heres what the box set says about the tune

    "I have no recollection of it being recorded whatsoever.the phrase 'One Emotion' came when we were watching Roger Moore.I think it might have been reruns of the Saint,it struck us how one dimensional he was.Then we wrote a more serious song around it ,trying to jib our way out of a hole"

    It was a really dull recording Give Em Enough Rope,they opened a McDonalds down the road and i had the first milk shake and thats about the only thing I remember about that 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."

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.
