@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
The sidewalk is rushing at my head again
I'm lying on the street in the rain and wind
From doing foward rolls down Avenue A
With my guitar on my back
don't let it end this way
Somehow I dialed my cell
I didn't know I could get service in Hell
How quickly can you get here?
Don't know where I am dear
Finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me
Shooby Dooby Doo-op
I over did it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl
at the I don't know when to stop sock hop
You held my head over the edge of the bed
I remember it now
but at the time I thought I was dead
You put a pan there
and held back my hair
How can I repay you for saving me
and my hardwood floor?
Shooby Dooby Doo-op
I over did it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl
at the I don't know when to stop sock hop
And when the world stops spinning 'round
I pick the pan off of the ground
I read my upheaves
Much like tea leaves
They said its over so get sober or you'll die
again

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

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/
this song is about getting DRUNK. like CRAZY drunk, so your 'partner' has to take care of you why has nobody commented yet? such a great song watch Shortbus!
haha yea def is a great song. just about ur friend or someone close to u helping u through ur drunkness basically
I think it's supposed to be "From doing forward rolls down Avenue A" and "Somehow I dialed my CELL I didn’t know I could get service in hell How quickly can you get here Don’t know where I am DEAR Finally the world ACTUALLY seems to be revolving around me"
What does he mean by Soda Shop?
Soda Shop = Bar/Pub
definitely the cutest song about alcoholism i've ever heard! the "doo-wop, soda shop, sock-hop" 50s metaphor is kind of awesome.
and seriously, watch shortbus.
Shortbus ws fantastic :]
karisva: I think the soda shop is the bar, or pub.
Dont know, though.
Kickass song.
"Thanks for being my girl"
i thought hes gay?
He is gay. The song never says the "dear" is a romantic dear or a good friend dear.
Besides, people often write songs with the pronouns all wrong just because it makes for a better story. Not everything has to be straight from a person's own life (no pun intended).
Actually, I think the song is about having to look after yourself after getting drunk-- the 'somehow I dialed my cell' seems to suggest it... but of course, it could also mean that he calls his own cell (which is at home and the friend picks it up).
