Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Anybody else with a head like yours
Would come and pick me up at the liquor store
And we'd go out east where I'd try to meet
Anybody else with a head like yours
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Of anybody else with a smile so slick
Our doctor up and split and we both got sick
When I look behind, guess what I find?
Several angry women holding bottles of hooch
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Anybody else with a head like yours
Would come and pick me up
And my gut's rotting out
Gut's rotting out
Gut's rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, gut rotting out
Oh, gut rotting out
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, anybody else with a head like yours
Anybody else with a head like yours
Anybody else, anybody else
Anybody else with a head like yours
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Would come and pick me up at the liquor store
And we'd go out east where I'd try to meet
Anybody else with a head like yours
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Of anybody else with a smile so slick
Our doctor up and split and we both got sick
When I look behind, guess what I find?
Several angry women holding bottles of hooch
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Anybody else with a head like yours
Would come and pick me up
And my gut's rotting out
Gut's rotting out
Gut's rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, gut rotting out
Oh, gut rotting out
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Oh, anybody else with a head like yours
Anybody else with a head like yours
Anybody else, anybody else
Anybody else with a head like yours
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid
Gut rotting out, I get paranoid

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
It is "gut rotting out" hence the name of the album.
lol. that makes a lot more sense.<br /> <br /> sometimes it's difficult to decipher because he pronounces some things a little differently.
It is "gut rotting out" hence the name of the album.
I think he says "Several angry women holding bottles of rouge." Everything else looks good though. I love this song, this album, this band. They are phenomenal live as well!
it's "bottles of hooch"<br /> <br /> i've seen them do the song live a few times and he enunciates the word very clearly.
