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.
Filet of sole, baby
It's my favorite dish
Filet of sole, baby
When the dish is fish
'Cause oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Now you're cookin' baby
Got an appetite
Said you're cookin' baby
Smells outta sight
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Little bit of sole and I'm feelin' fine
Little bit of sole and I'm losin' my mind
I'm feeling fine
I'm losing my mind
Filet of sole, baby
Now I'm feeling fine
Filet of sole, baby
We're gonna dine
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Baby, I love the stuff you cook
Baby, I love the way you look
Ah, the way you look
Uh, that stuff you cook
Filet of sole, baby
It's my favorite dish
Filet of sole, baby
When the dish is fish
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
It's my favorite dish
Filet of sole, baby
When the dish is fish
'Cause oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Now you're cookin' baby
Got an appetite
Said you're cookin' baby
Smells outta sight
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Little bit of sole and I'm feelin' fine
Little bit of sole and I'm losin' my mind
I'm feeling fine
I'm losing my mind
Filet of sole, baby
Now I'm feeling fine
Filet of sole, baby
We're gonna dine
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Baby, I love the stuff you cook
Baby, I love the way you look
Ah, the way you look
Uh, that stuff you cook
Filet of sole, baby
It's my favorite dish
Filet of sole, baby
When the dish is fish
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole

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."

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I call a certain part of my girlfriend's anatomy Fillet of Sole.
I'm not sure that really relates to the actual meaning that the Dead Milkmen had in mind when they wrote the song, but it's pretty funny if you keep that in mind as you listen to it.
"Oh, I lose control. When you serve Fillet of Sole."
