So much fun to be had in my head
No more sunshine
So much fun just lying in my bed
No more sunshine
I can't face the sunlight and the dirt outside
Wanna stay in 666 where this darkness don't lie

Drug drug druggy
Got a feeling sweet like honey
Drug drug druggy
Need sensation like my baby
Show me your scars you're so aware
I'm not barbaric I just care

Drug drug drug
I need a reflection to prove I exist
No more sunshine
I am a victim of designer blitz
No more sunshine
Dance like a robot when you're chained at the knee
The C.I.A say you're all they'll ever need

Drug drug druggy
Got a feeling sweet like honey
Drug drug druggy
Need sensation like my baby
Snort your lines you're so aware
I'm not barbaric I just care

Drug drug druggy
Got a feeling sweet like honey
Drug drug druggy
Need sensation like my baby

    It's a very Manics song in that it was flying in the face of conventional youth culture at the time. In the early '90s "drug culture" was hip and the NME et al used to play-up bands' chemical excesses as being part of a youthful rebellion against staid, conservative, mainstream culture. In this song the Manics are turning that on its head, arguing that designer-drug users are apathetic, decadent, apolitical and self-destructive and are doing nothing to make the world a better place, quite the opposite. "Show me your scars you're so aware" might be a reference to Ritchie Edwards' self-harming, comparing it to drug-use as self-harm (Edwards also had a drink problem) or it might be having at go at "heroin chic" and the idea of the emaciated look as something to aspire to. "Dance like a robot when you're chained at the knee The C.I.A. say you're all they'll ever need" is the most explicitly political part; at the time designer drugs (notably ecstacy or "E" as referenced in the song's last line) were associated with rave culture which these lines allude to with its "robotic" glass-eyed dancers. The Manics seem to be suggesting that, rather than being a threat to the established order, such pleasure-seeking consumers were actually re-enforcing it.

    "It's just a very ambivalent attitude to drugs - and the different things that people use as drugs. Everybody has their own little obsession. I find it really annoying the way people come up to you and say 'Hey, I just smoked a couple of joints and I'm really off my head.' So what? If someone said ' I've drunk 10 pints and I'm really out of it,' you'd think they were pathetic, and it's the same thing." (Richey James; Melody Maker, 19 June 1993)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
