Sometimes, the feeling is right
You fall in love for the first time
Heartbeat, and kisses so sweet
Summertime love in the moonlight

Now the summer is gone
You had to go back home
Please come and see me again
I never felt more alone

Baby, I am missing you
I want you by my side
And I hope you'll miss me too
Come back and stay
I think about you every day
I really want you too
You swept my feet right off the ground, you're the love I found

Doctor Jones, Jones, calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, get up now (wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones, calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, wake up now (wake up now)

All I think of is you
And all of the things we had
Doctor, what can I do?
Why does it have to be like that?

Baby, I am missing you
I want you by my side
And I hope you'll miss me too
Come back and stay
I think about you every day
I really want you too
You swept my feet right off the ground, you're the love I found

Doctor Jones, Jones, calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, get up now (wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones, calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, wake up now (wake up now)

Please, please, cure me
Please, please, cure me
Please, please, cure me
Please, please, cure me

Doctor Jones, Jones (wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones (wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones (wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones, wake up now

Doctor Jones, Jones, calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, get up now (wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones, calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, wake up now (wake up now)

    My Interpretation

    I listened to this song on repeat, and what I think it means is.

    She's in love with a guy she met in summer. And they talk about seeing each other again (lol its like Grease) And she thinks about him for the rest of the year. The whole thing about Doctor Jones, is that she wants him to cure her, as she can't stop thinking about Summer Fling Guy. Near the end she says "why does he have to be like that" maybe he doesn't want to see her again, so again she wants Doctor Jones to help her. Either for comfort, or that she really thinks that 'love' is a disease, and she wants a cure to mend her heart.

    Is the "Dr. Jones get up now" lyric a reference to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? I kind of thought it was but there's nothing else in the song to support that. Then again, there isn't much connecting the verse to the chorus.

    This is such a sweet song... reminds me of falling in love for the first time, and how special and magical it felt, and then how it feels your life is over when it finishes. It's a shame that Aqua are seen as a novelty band, mainly because of Barbie Girl, but they're fun. Proud to have them on my iPod lol

    I'm pretty sure this is meant to be about the Indiana Jones movies - the music video for it had the band dressed in similar clothes on a raft in the middle of the jungle. As far as I can remember.

    yes, Dr. Jones is a referens to the famed Indana Jones after all Aqua has made itself famous on the ablility to sing songs about a) incredibly silly and nonsencincal things b) parodies and songs about well know things (ex: barbie girl, dr. jones, an apple a day, halloween, candyman...etc)

    Great song; a forgotten classic. First heard this in '98 I think on The Chart Show (an amazing music show with no presenters); good times.

    The only people I know have heard of Aqua only know Barbie Girl. :(

    Anyway; this a great upbeat song, I agree with calmingdeepblue; you can't help but smile when you hear this.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
