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.
Señores y señoras
Nosotros tenemos más influencia con sus hijos que tú tiene
Pero los queremos
Creado y regado de Los Ángeles, ¡Juana's adicción!
Here we go

Gonna stop, now go!

For a party conversation
The world is loaded
It's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop

No man will stand for things that he had done
Hurrah

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
A correct translation for those who want it ^_^ (accent marks missing)
"Senores y senoras, nosotros tenemos mas influencia con sus hijos que tu [should be "ustedes"] tienen. Pero los queremos. Creado y regalo de Los Angeles, Juana's addicion."
means
Ladies and gentlemen, we have more influence over your children than you do. But we love them. Created [in] and gift from Los Angeles, "Jane's" Addiction.
She might also mean to say "criado" which means "raised" but she says "creado."
We have more power over your children, but it doesn't matter, because we love them.
Yeah, the intro is so cool.
"Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jane's Addction!"
I think it is about how if we don't stop fucking about with nature, nature is going to turn around and kill us soon.
The song has 80s era drug references in it. Back then the “Just Say No” campaign was going on in attempt to get the populace to stop doing drugs. “lit to pop” is a reference to crack cocaine. Something Perry was known to abuse among other things. He was always unapologetic when it comes to his drug use. Basically saying no one can stop the usage of drugs.
The “world is loaded” is another drug reference. Crack cocaine will pop, or “crack” when you lite it with fire or heat.
Actually, I am not sure if it is:
"Born and raised in Los Angeles"
Or
"Bred and spread in los Angeles"
In the inlay card of the first album it says something about Jane's Addiction being bred and spread in LA, so it is probaly the second one...
It's about how the world is going to end and there's nothing we can do stop it, so there's no point. Apparently.
although i didn't quiet understand this song, i agree with quiffporn if i was to guess what it meant. it is a great song thought the....your automobile, turn off that smokestack and that goddamn radio - hum... along with me... Hum along with the t.v ...part is the greatest just the Suspense before it
brilliant song!
I'd say its about how in everyday life people fuck over nature and fuck over each other, but noones gonna change this because we're just living our lives. Then he says he's hoping for a future were people wont do this. But then after saying chuck away that smokestack or whatever, he says 'hum along with me, with the tv' and then goes back to 'noones gonna stop' so i dont think that overall this song is not preaching, but is instead just commenting on human nature and not neccesarily saying that its bad
