In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You got it comin' and you don't even know it
In just a minute I'll make you show it
All those things that you try to deny
Oh baby, baby, baby, it's just a matter of time
Before I take your hand and lead the way
Upstairs to the bedroom to play
Like BK you can have it your way
So c'mon baby, baby, baby don't be afraid
Cause I'm, gonna give it to you just how you want it
And I'm, gonna give it to you just how you need
Cause I'm, gonna hit you from every position
And I, won't stop until we're shakin' the sheets
I'll lock the doors and dim the lights
We're 'bout take this party outta sight because the bed's over there you'll see
So just shake your ass on over there and wait for me
Oh, it's on
I'm gonna rock you all night long
From your head to your feet I'll make you feel the heat
And give me some lovin' that's sticky sweet
Oh, it's on
I'm gonna rock you all night long
From your head to your feet I'll make you feel the heat
And give me some lovin' that's sticky sweet
We'll start with the shirt 'cause it's comin' off first
It's lookin' like that bra's about to burst
Move to the back where I'll pop that strap
Oh baby, baby, baby I'm about to attack
Next thing I'm gonna slide on downstairs
But I ain't lickin' baby, no not down there
You gotta trust me 'cause I know you won't care
Baby, baby, baby I'll have to seein' in pairs
Cause I'm gonna give it to you just how you want it
And I'm gonna give it to you just how you need
Cause I'm gonna hit you from every position
And I won't stop until we're shakin' the sheets
The south is rising if you know what I mean
I got a feelin' I'm gonna fit like a key
And even if it's a tight squeeze
Oh baby, baby, baby that's between you and me
Oh, it's on
I'm gonna rock you all night long
From your head to your feet I'll make you feel the heat
And give you some lovin', that's sticky sweet
Oh, it's on
I'm gonna rock you all night long
From your head to your feet I'll make you feel the heat
And give you some lovin', give you some lovin',
Give you some lovin', give you some lovin' that's sticky sweet
I'm gonna make you bite that pillow
I'm gonna make you grip those sheets
I'm gonna make your body quiver
I'm gonna make you feel fuckin' complete
I'm gonna make you hoot and holler
I'm gonna make you drippin' wet
Cause tonight baby girl you're getiin' something that you'll never fuckin' forget
I'm gonna make you bite that pillow
I'm gonna make you grip those sheets
I'm gonna make your body quiver
I'm gonna make you feel fuckin' complete
I'm gonna make you hoot and holler
I'm gonna make you drippin' wet
In just a minute I'll make you show it
All those things that you try to deny
Oh baby, baby, baby, it's just a matter of time
Before I take your hand and lead the way
Upstairs to the bedroom to play
Like BK you can have it your way
So c'mon baby, baby, baby don't be afraid
Cause I'm, gonna give it to you just how you want it
And I'm, gonna give it to you just how you need
Cause I'm, gonna hit you from every position
And I, won't stop until we're shakin' the sheets
I'll lock the doors and dim the lights
We're 'bout take this party outta sight because the bed's over there you'll see
So just shake your ass on over there and wait for me
Oh, it's on

From your head to your feet I'll make you feel the heat
And give me some lovin' that's sticky sweet
Oh, it's on

From your head to your feet I'll make you feel the heat
And give me some lovin' that's sticky sweet

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."

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
love this song.
