I Don't Wanna Smile

Total

[Pam]

If you ever to leave me

How could I breathe

How could I even go on

If you're not here beside me

Then what good would my life be

This life won't mean a thing if you're not around

Don't you know that

If I lose you there'll be no joy to be found

This world won't show a thing to me oh



Chorus



I don't want to smile

If you're not smiling with me

I don't want to laugh

If you're not there to share the laughter with me

I don't want to live

Without you, what kinda life would that be?

Oh baby (oh baby)

No baby (no)

I don't want to smile

If you're not smiling with me



[Keisha]

If there's ever a moment

When you're not there

To share in these moments with me

It will be such a sad song

It would all just be over



[Pam]

The stars wouldn't shine as bright if you walked away

And don't you know that

There'll be no reason to wake up everyday

This world won't mean a thing to me, oh



Chorus



I don't want to smile

If you're not smiling with me

I don't want to laugh

If you're not there to share the laughter with me

I don't want to live

Without you, what kinda life would that be?

Oh baby (oh baby)

No baby (no)

I don't want to smile

If you're not smiling with me



[Keisha]

I don't see want to sunrise

If I can't see it with you



[Pam]

I just know that there'll be no joy

In anything I do



[Keisha & Pam]

This world will be too sad for me, so



Chorus



I don't want to smile

If you're not smiling with me

I don't want to laugh

If you're not there to share the laughter with me

I don't want to live

Without you, what kinda life would that be?

Oh baby

No baby

I don't want to smile

If you're not smiling with me



[Keisha]

You're not smiling with me

You're not smiling with me



[Pam]

If you're not smiling with me

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,
