she's a sly cat; plaster white
shoots her mouth like a firing squad, uh huh
see her ruby jive
swingin' her hips like the Aphrodite

well, sugar ain't free, it's a lemonade
i spit a couple of teeth trying to get her name, uh huh

flash dance, miss divine
bought her a couple mixed drinks and a brandy wine, uh huh
then she starts to crack
i slip her my key, she can't hand it back, uh huh

well she's only 19, but she's doing fine and i've been out five weeks and i need a ride, uh huh

my hotel room comes equipped with a very nice bedroom and a window miss de milo
if you want to room 16 at the continental
undercover love

hello femme fatale
there's an intimate ball at the carnival, uh huh
won't you spend the night?
we can dance to an early light, uh huh

it's you and me and my lips are sealed
so why not be who you really feel, uh huh

large hotel room comes equipped with a very nice bedroom and a window miss de milo
if you want to room 16 at the continental
undercover love

she said 'do me once again'
i took the apple from her hand
she said she knows me
yeah, she knows me
paris lets her out at night.

my hotel room comes equipped with a very nice bedroom and a window miss de milo
if you want to room 16 at the continental
undercover love

    First I want to say that WATF are geniouses. They play a wicked live show too. But here is a pretty good theory about this song. The "Venus De Milo" is a statue depicting Aphrodite, the godess of love and beauty. You probably know the statue, its the one where both arms broke off. Anyways, in the left hand, before it broke, it held an apple. References in the song being "plaster white" (she's a statue) "swingin' her hips like the Aphrodite" (thats who the statue is of) "she starts to crack" (old statue) "slip her my keys she can't hand them back" (no arms) "Miss De Milo" (name of statue) "i took the apple from her hand" (missing apple in hand) "Paris lets her out at night" (reference to greek mythology). Personally, I think this totally makes the song hilarious and clever as piss. Way to go Jeremy:]

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.
