Stop! We are good times.
We're from the 80s and we're here to help.
That's when the lion awoke and Mephistopheles spoke.
He said, "You still got some time, baby, there's still time to choke."

That's where her majesty dines on perpendicular lines.
So, stop making me stop, we are good times.

Stop! We are good times.
And I don't even know.
It keeps repeating,
It keeps repeating,
It keeps repeating, and I don't even know.

This job is taking its toll.
Sometime it be so droll.
You gotta jam it baby,
Go on and jam it in the hole.

We are your pleasure, whatever you use.
We are good times, in whatever form you choose.
No battery, but your lights are on.
Flesh fantasy and our love goes on and on.

Jam it in the hole.

Stop! We are good times.
It keeps pushing
It keeps pushing me down,
It keeps pushing.
Tell me are you gonna push, push?

It's just a sick ma-chine,
A certain fantasy,
An alternative version of what I need.
To fly a flag up a pole
It's an attainable goal.
Rock and Roll ride home.
Just go and jam it in the hole.

Jam it in the hole.
Jam it in the hole.

Stop! We are good times.
I am god's love, baby.
I'm Courtney Love, baby.
Who the hell are you?

No battery, but your lights are still on.
Flesh fantasy and our love goes on and on.
We are your pleasure, whatever you use.
We are good times, in whatever form you choose.
No battery, but your lights are still on.
Flesh fantasy and our love goes on and on.
We are your pleasure, whatever you use.
We are good times, in whatever form you choose.

What is the market value of a soul?
Kids keep jamming it into the hole.

    This song seems to be a criticism of the rock industry and the culture that surrounds it. It concerns itself with the generations of rock bands that exploit their audience and the gullible kids that fall into a trap of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Valentine seems to be implying that much of the rock scene has young people inserting meaning into something that is devoid of it.

    "You're such a sick banshee, a certain fantasy, an alternative version of what I need."

    Another section speaking to the oversexualization of the kids but I think it is also implying that the fans know this path is wrong for them. "An alternative version of what I need" can be read in two different ways. She's alternative in the sense that she is part of the scene, or that she's not what he needs emotionally but what he needs physically/sexually. I think both readings could be correct but the second reading fits with the tone of the song. The girl is what he wants but not what he needs in a real relationship.

    Overall the song is about how much of rock encourages a hedonistic lifestyle built around "good times." But that lifestyle is empty and incomplete. All the rock stars are doing is profiting off a wasted youth.

    This is a theme I think you can see in a lot Electric Six songs that mock cultures built around music, sexualization and empty meanings (Body Shot, Flashy Man, Lenny Kravitz, Dance Pattern, Dance-a-thon 2005, I Lost Control (of My Rock and Roll)).

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
