Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o
As I lay him down to sleep
It's been so long, since I lost my daddy-o
Hope he's watchin' over me

Wednesday night is mornin' now
As I'm walkin' in the rain
The birds are screaming in my ear
Drivin' me insane

Half the clouds are empty so the sun burst through the sky
The puddles show reflection of a face about to die
Just around the corner, I was goin' round the bend
I ran into a staggerin' fool who said he knew my name

He poured himself a whiskey and his face began to glow
Two men without and answer like a dog without a bone

Bringin' in the new year as the bells began to ring
Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing
Time to get another, before the final shout
You should have heard them roarin' when they dragged the bugger out
And we'll never see the likes of you again

Jimbo came from slummin town a cold and dreary place
To summerland he found himself the sun shun on his face
Met a girl called Minnie Pearl swore she'd always be his girl
Happy ever after, 'till the tide ran out again

Pour me all your sorrows and I'll drink till you are dry
I'll love you in the mornin', Christ, I'll love ya till you die
I'll never leave so never grieve, I'll be back before ya know
But Jimbo fell into a well and never rambled home

Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bag
Back and forth through painted brick the colors all seemed bland
I've traveled all these years, he said to only get this far
So he crossed the street found a seat, his home is now a bar
And we'll never see the likes of you again
No, we'll never see the likes of you again

There must be more to life, than this poxie life
All the aggro, all the pain
So he disappeared into this final beer
But the glass was empty, once again, again, again

Woke up in an awful state dreamt I was at Peter's Gate
Beggin' for his mercy and the crimes that were at hand
He told me he was much amused to see this life I had abused
Best be on your way, but have a swig before you go

So I'm bringin' in the New Year as the bells began to ring
Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing
Time to get another, before the final shout
You should have heard them roarin' when the dragged the bugger out
And we'll never see the likes of you again
No, we'll never see the likes of you again
No, we'll never see the likes of you again

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
