Come Bite The Apple

Mother Love Bone

How did I get here
What song did I sing
Just what have I done to deserve such a thing
(You say I've heard all that before)
(So won't you give it up and stop using me)
(I've heard all that before)
So bring me an apple, I'm crying
I been persecuted, like a lying man
The spirit provides me
Its what I am today
This spirit it gives but also can take away
(And you say I've heard all that before)
(So won't you give it up baby and stop using me)
(I've heard this all before)
So come bite the apple, I'm run down
Like sodom to gommorah, all dead now
So please stop to laugh and pity me
My soul means well but I'm sorry
My skin it is withered and I'm nervous
My future was in my hands, 'til I washed it all away
Get along little sister I heard your doing well
Doing well said get along little sister
Heard your doing well
Etc, bla, bla, bla

    General CommentYeah this song is about heroin most likely, as he knows it's killing him but he also needs it, depends on it. great song, but has anyone noticed how aic's choruses for a lot of their songs have the same effect the choruses in this one has? with the higher-pitched and droning kinda wail? i dunno, i just noticed it earlier.

    General CommentStone Gossard plays two an excellent solos on this song. The ending is easily as intense as anything Pearl Jam ever recorded...

    WHAT SONG DID I SING

    just what have i done to deserve such a thing

    (you say- i've heard all that before)
    (so won't you give it up and stop using me)

    (i've heard all that before)
    so bring me an apple, i'm cryin'

    i been persecuted, like a lying man
    the SPIRIT provides me
    IT'LL SURE ENOUGH LEAD MY TODAYS
    this spirit it gives but it also can take away

    (i've heard this all before)
    so come bite the APPLE, i'm run down

    like sodom to gommorah, all dead now
    so please stop to laugh and pity me

    my soul means well but i'm sorry

    my skin it is weathered and i'm nervous

    my future was in my hands till i washed it all away
    get along little sister- i heard you're doing well...

    General CommentHas anyone else noticed a relatively good amount of songs, especially from around '85 to '95 [so it'd make sense], where "apple" could easily be replaced with "heroin"? Does anyone know anything about that?

    I was looking on the songmeanings page for "Rotten Apple" by Alice in Chains and the biblical reference of "apple" with the loss of innocence was brought up - that would make sense in the context of heroin maybe, too.
