little bobby's on the front porch
sitting alone, he's got nobody
takes a drink from his water glass
and cries to himself, he's so lonely
doesn't really want to wait
he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late
bobby's never had a girlfriend
never a date, he sits home alone
never been to the movies or
stayed up late, talking on the phone
doesn't really want to wait
he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late
he's singing la, la, la....
bangs his head against a wall
til he sees stars, but it does no good
only twelve years young, but he thinks he's old
i'd help if i could
doesn't really want to wait
he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late
he's singing la, la, la....
all his friends tell him everything
he needs to hear, but bobby don't listen
if he ever has to choose between
his friends or a girl, he won't miss them
doesn't really want to wait
he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late
he's singing la, la, la....

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
