Here in this town they have all got the blues
as the paper boy takes off without any news
angels have wings you can feel free to use
the corner store drugs you can freely abuse

And I'm yelling and screaming 'cause
baby you're driving me crazy

So life on your own can be vacant and cold
everyone's getting somewhere and you're getting old
career opportunities
they all have been sold
along with your body and most of your soul

And I'm yelling and screaming 'cause
baby you're driving me crazy
If I could spare more remorse from my emptied out pores
I would maybe
'Cause the fog's getting thicker, the world's spinning fast
the chaos is building, it's going to last
and it's so hard to see, and you're so hard to find
there's days when I think I am losing my mind

So keep painting pictures of beautiful scenes
striking the canvas with deep blues and greens
the realists are frowning, they think you're obscene
as you work overtime to make sure they can dream

And I'm yelling and screaming 'cause
baby you're driving me crazy
If I could spare more remorse from my emptied out pores
I would maybe
'Cause the fog's getting thicker, the world's spinning fast
the chaos is building, it's going to last
and it's so hard to see, and you're so hard to find
there's days when I think I am losing my mind

And we yell and we scream
as the fog's getting thicker, the world's spinning fast
the chaos is building, it's going to last
and it's so hard to see, and you're so hard to find
there's days when I think I am losing my mind

and the fog's getting thicker, the world's spinning fast
the chaos is building, it's going to last
and it's so hard to see, and you're so hard to find
there's days when I think I am losing my mind

    This sounds like an old folk song to me. Not to say I don't like it; I adore it, it's one of the better Kara's Flowers songs. It's got a very emotional sound behind it to me, but that may just be myself trying to interpret the song into something incredibly depressing. Hahahaa! I do that a lot.

    In any case, a beautiful song.

    Absolutely simple and honest song...very nice and fresh to hear, quite depressing in my opinion, he's just saying that things and the future don't look as bright as he might thought they would be...that happens to me a lot, being "tangled" in the negative side of life, simply because it doesn't show you the bright side.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same 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."

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
