One, two
One, two, three, four

When you came in my life you changed my world
My Sarah
Everything seemed so right my baby girl
My Sarah

You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I need to live
My love to you I'll give

My Sarah

When you begin to smile you change my style
My Sarah
When I look in your eyes I see my prize
My Sarah

You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I need to live
My love to you I'll give

You are all I want to know
Oh my Sarah
Don't let go oh no
My Sarah

You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I need to live
My love to you I'll always give

You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I want to know
My Sarah

Yes you changed my style with your baby smile
Sarah
Childlike charms keep me warm hold you in my arms
Sarah

Changed my world my baby girl
Sarah
All I want to know don't let go
No,no,no,no,no
Sarah
Sarah
Be mine

    In my family this has always been my song it was released about a year after i was born. it was an integral part of my childhood we had it on 7" my mum and dad would dance around the living room with me to it right up until my late teens ( i have a strange family). i treasured this single. When my parents split and we moved, it got shattered. my mother found me balling my eyes out clutching the fragments she vow she would replace it. she did it was the best Christmas present ever and i cry even more. It normally make me cry but i love it, it is part of my identity, it is one of the few thing that make me realise the love that my mum has for me.

    wow! I can't belive that noone has written anything about this song! I was told that this song came about when the writer had a baby girl called Sarah.. I could be wrong, but I like to think this is what the songs about. This song means a lot to me, the day my parents left me at university my daddy handed me a cd and this was one of the songs on it. He always said that this song reminded him of me, and this is how he felt about me! Man i love that guy!

    I saw Lizzy on 3 occasions in the late 70s/early 80s,each time with a different lead guitarist-Robertson/Moore/White,and always found them thrilling to watch and brilliant to hear,but sadly never saw them perform this gem. What seems strange to me is that although this is quite a slow one (by their standards)is that their fabulous twin-edged guitar sound was never more evident!.Definitely-A POP ROCK CLASSIC!!.

    A wonderful, beautiful song! ThinLizzy songs never fail to amaze. So much talent and thought goes into ALL their recordings, I am one of their biggest fans and have been so since the band formed. They WERE the best; ever! ROCK ON Guys and Gals!

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."

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.
