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.
(Lil Shank)
Whatever you got, I need.
Let it be coke, or speed, heroin,
or a pound of weed, I’ma take it!
Check it in bitch, you aint shit trick
Ill run you for them sneakers and them brand new fits
Man you ain't finna do shit, but go and buy some new shit
And when I see with that shit I'm gonna take that shit too bitch!
I'ma ryda and I just don’t give a fuck
I don’t need no crazy glue, my fingers are sticky enough
(Bullet)
I don’t wait until I'm broke, in fact I don’t wait at all
I see something I want, I'm runnin with it as you fall
It's all about the spontanuity, and fuckin ryda unity!
These hoes and what they do to me, check movin ain't nuttin new to me
Run it to me, check it in, you know the fuckin happenin
Rydas be a wreck in, broke a bottle stuck it in
I'm runnin from the po po, well fuck I'm runnin for nuttin
I took a deep breath, stopped, tunred around and started dumpin
(Chorus)
You don’t need that! Come about that! What you got for me? You don’t want that!
You don’t need that! Come about that! What you got for me? You don’t want that!
(Sawed Off)
Give it here, let it loose, come about it, now it's mine
Stack sheets in 'hoods is so far hard to find
So when your hittin a lick, be quick, and don’t hesitate
Tell em to run that shit, and then dare their ass to blink
I'm looking for the bling bling, money green, all things
Top notch non-stop, underground drug rings
I'm letting loose, takin it back to the streets you little bitch
Put your mouth on this barrel and come about your shit
(Full Clip)
Runnin' happens to be my job, just waitin on you to slip
Heat in my grip and just pistol whipped your bitch (Yup!)
And I don’t give a fuck if it's day time or night
I run a po po's badge, then I beat him with his flashlight
Take you muthafuckin chain when you see Full Clip comin
Cause if I see it and don’t get it, bullets are hummin
Leave you in the street, asshole naked and bleedin
When I get through runnin all your shit bitch
your getting peed on
(Chorus x2)
You don’t need that! Come about that! What you got for me? You don’t want that!
You don’t need that! Come about that! What you got for me? You don’t want that!
(Foe Foe)
Everything you got, I want. And Everything I want, I got!
From robbin muthafuckas or just runnin up spots!
Find a hide out, homie, cause im looking to cock
I bought a half ounce of white split the rest on some house
Now I'm ridin, hittin switches and you bitch is looking mad
Cause she knows I jacked her man for everything that he had
You got stuck, like the bitch that claimed to fuck
Now raise it up 'fore I yank your baby mama out the truck!
(Cell Block)
Now run this shit bitch!
I ain't askin, I'm demandin, this is a stick up muthafucka!
Don't get ur shit split where you standing
I see the weight you hold, it's quite a heavy load
Let me lighten up your shit when I make all your dough my own
Hey Mr. banker, don’t try to run
Remember when you foreclosed on my momma house and put us on the streets alone?
Man FUCK that shit! Give me all the money in the safe and and take your last look
Cause you about to leave this place!
(Chorus x2)
You don’t need that! Come about that! What you got for me? You don’t want that!
You don’t need that! Come about that! What you got for me? You don’t want that!
(Converse)
Run that, give me everything. Yeah, I don’t give a fuck. Yeah.. what? Give me that too. You don’t need nothing. Give me everything. Hey, don’t take another breath, matter of a fact.. give me your life. Gotta run now, yeah.. and run them Converse’s too..
Whatever you got, I need.
Let it be coke, or speed, heroin,
or a pound of weed, I’ma take it!
Check it in bitch, you aint shit trick
Ill run you for them sneakers and them brand new fits
Man you ain't finna do shit, but go and buy some new shit
And when I see with that shit I'm gonna take that shit too bitch!

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."

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,

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.
