wake up
And dry your eyes
Cause you've been dreaming of mourning
You can't disguise it
I've got a picture we can doctor right up
"So what" you sigh "alright" I reply

get up
I got a feeling
We've been staring at the ceiling too long
And downstairs there's a party going on


And it's your number she goes
"please drive faster."
Spoken like a champion
Oh no, disaster.


Wait up, we got to a hospital groove
And here's some bad news
Carrying a crutch
On you crush
Gotta hurry boys
We've got a lot to lose


We've got a lot to loosen up
And you know that we can take it
Cause we're so tough
A one and a two and the red light out of you
Oh vein contusion or two


And it's your number she goes
"please drive faster"
Spoken like a champion
Oh no, disaster.


Code blue I want you
Cold blue emergency room
Some buckle some bloom
When I want you


Wake up wait up wake up
Don't you know you've plenty of your life to lose


Carrying a crutch
On you crush
Gotta hurry boys
We've got a lot to lose


We're getting number
We go "please drive faster."
Spoken like a champion.
Oh no, disaster.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
