We all know the girls that I am talking about Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
and the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up, we know that without a doubt
cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them

And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so happy its depressing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring

If its drama you want then look no further
They're like the Real World, meets Boy Meets World, meets Days of our Lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They're anger you then bat their eyes... those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize


And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so stressed out that its soothing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring


Cause when its black means watch your back because you're probably the last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediately and ask her out because she'll most likely agree

And when its green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when its clear it means she's completely emotionless
And that's alright I must confess...

We all know the girls that I am talking about She liked you wednesday but now its friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde...
At least she makes a lovely pair

Mood ring, oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery?
Of girls and their emotions,
play it back in slow motion
So i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind...

(spoken)...ha... that was terrible...

    this song rox! Oh by the way guys, here's a tip: If you have an emotional girlfriend and she likes Reilent K, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES think that it's a cute idea to buy her the cd with a mood ring taped to it. This did not happen to me (I would have laughed it off,) but a guy friend of mine did that to his girlfriend and wound up with an earful and a sore groin.

    "She liked you Wednesday but now its Friday and she has to wash her hair"

    I just realized something about this line the other day. It's kind of a reference to song in the musical South Pacific. One of the songs is called "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair." The lead female character is saying how she is going to forget the guy she was interested in by washing him out of her hair.

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,
