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.
You can dress me up in diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts
Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
When I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You can meet me on an aeroplane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boom-a-rang
I'll come back and beat you up
Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
When I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
When I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
When I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
When I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat

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."

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
What a stupid song, by a so-called "artist" (the term is thrown around too loosely these days) who can't even sing. She ruined her voice permanantly because she couldn't sing properly, people.
Now I know girls from ages 10-18 everywhere are obsessed with her, especially this song in particular, which is why I decided to do my shamless flaming here.
First off, the song sucks. Take out the lyrics that are remnicent of a sheltered 11-year-old who is trying to be provocative; take out the over-shouted, way-too-loud, trying-too-hard voice, and it still blows major ass. Britney Spears made it without talent or good songs, but at least she strips onstage.
The next thing I will cover is her image. All I have to say about this is WHO CARES. She wants to look punk-rockerish, so maybe she likes that look. Go with it. She won't be around long enough for you guys to debate that issue anymore. She's not a poser-punk, she's a poser-singer.
And the last thing, these so-called "lyrics". Hello, hun, you are like what 19 years old. Grow the hell up...using sorry excuses for "dirty" metaphors, and calling sex "lala" is flat out stupid. If she so badly wanted someone to fuck her, or to get herself off, she wouldn't waste time trying to find cute little ways to say it.
Pathetically laughable, this whole song must be a joke. I don't know if her songwriter was serious, but sadly all the teenage girls who idolize her are. If you must idolize someone, girls, make it someone talented. Or at least someone who has the balls to say "I want have sex with you"
lala...ridiculous.
The whole, "If you hate her, why are you looking up her lyrics?" Thing is old. Give it a rest. We just need to voice our opinions on how much we dislike Ashlee Simpson.
Anyways...
The song is talking about being in a fantasy (sexual or whatever) with someone you're infatuated with. She kinda plays and makes fun of herself and the lyrics are a bit kinky. I mean, "You make me wanna la la in the kitchen on the floor. I 'll be your French maid when Ill meet you at the door. Drink the milk I'll follow more." What is la la? What is her milk? LoL. It's a fun(ny) song to me, I'll leave it at that.

funny song. Hard to sing though hehe. Ashlee's so talented! I love her!
This song badass, I like it. It shows she's not her bitch ass sister Jessica because Ashlee admits she has sexual fantasies and shit.
I love this song. It's talking about something kinky (But, I'm sure that you can tell by how the lyrics are implied ^_^) It's one of my favorite songs of hers.. I love how she screams "You make me wanna lala" Awesome song..
This song is dirty, I love it :-*
Pure sex.
this song is so sexual and kinky! i love it!
