Call me up when you need
Strangers often deceive
And there's something so freeing
To call out a name
And someone's believing
I've been changing my mind
Through with looking behind
It's a crash course in life
The best you can do is pass by
No getting out alive

I'll hold a light for you to see
All things in time, all you'll ever need


Something I can't explain
Keeps me running, afraid
And every day
Looks me in the face and says
"Who'd you think you were, anyway?"

If you'll hold a light for me to see
All things in time, all we'll ever need


Well, you told me so
That we'd seen this all before
So what is it keeps us coming back for more?

I'll hold a light for you to see
All things in time, all you'll ever need
All things in time, all we'll ever need

    Song Meaning

    The audience for these lyrics is a new love interest. Both have already experienced love/relationships and are likely a little jaded from those experiences and hesitant to emotionally invest in a new love (been there, done that). Therefore, the lyrics remind the love interest of the basic benefits of having a lover (they are there for you...."call out a name And someone's believing). The lyrics further explain that life is hard and full of challenges but that each of them can help each other to face those challenges together.....forever (All things in time, all we'll ever need).

    On a personal note, I'm in a new relationship with a woman that has never been married or even had a boyfriend for more than 2 years (very jaded about love and relationships). Therefore, no matter what I say or do, she is hesitant to let her emotions take over. I am tempted to print these lyrics and hand them to her!! LOL

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
