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.
I'm so rushed off my feet
Looking for Gordon Street
So much I need to say
I'm sorry that it's on her wedding day
'Cause she's so right for me
Her daddy disagrees
He's always hated me
Because I never got a J-O-B
'Cause she's mine
And I'm glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
I could have been a loser kid
Who ran away and hid
But it's the best thing that I ever did
'Cause true love lasts forever
And now we're back together
As if he never met her
So looking back
I'm glad I crashed the wedding
The neighbours spread the word
And my mum cried when she heard
I stole my girl away
From everybody gathered there that day
And just in time
And I'm glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
I could have been a loser kid
Who ran away and hid
I said I'd do it and I did
'Cause true love lasts forever
And now we're back together
As if he never met her
So looking back
I'm glad I crashed the wedding
Don't wish her being
Mad at me for taking her away
'Cause anyway she didn't wanna stay
So please believe me when I say
She's glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
The ring she got was lame
She couldn't take the pain
She didn't want a silly second name
'Cause true love lasts forever (true love lasts forever)
And now we're back together
He might as well forget her
And walk away
She's glad I crashed the wedding
(We're back together)
It's better than regretting
(It's better than regretting)
The ring she got was lame
She couldn't take the pain
She didn't wanna silly second name
(No, no no-no)
'Cause true love lasts forever
(True love lasts)
And now we're back together
He might as well forget her
And walk away
She's glad I crashed the wedding
Looking for Gordon Street

And I'm glad I crashed the wedding

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."
