Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Roll another one,
Just like the other one.
You been holding onto it,
And I sure would like a hit!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!
Just like the other one.
You been holding onto it,
And I sure would like a hit!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!

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 is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This song is about Humphrey Bogart in some joint he used to hang around in. When used towards someone other than Bogart himself, "Don't Bogart That Joint" means you should stop trying to get all the attention in the place to yourself. Because it's lame to do.
Well, not exactly. It IS a reference to Humphrey Bogart. To "Bogart a joint" is to let the "herbal cigarette" hang on your lips while it continues to burn down, without inhaling, thus waisting it's percieved beneficial effects.
Sorry to inform you but you are both wrong. Lowell George is rolling over in his grave as we speak. I'm sorry SpacePedestrian but you are wayyyyyy off in left field, actually you're not even in the bleachers, you're somewhere down the street. Hugles is in the ballpark but he forgot his glove lol. Ok for those of you who are marijuana illiterate ::coughprevioustwoposterscough:: allow me to break this one down:<br /> <br /> "Joint" aka "Jazz Cigarette" aka "J"(noun) = A Marijuana Cigarette<br /> "Bogart" or "the act of Bogarting"(verb) = while this is a direct reference to Humphrey Bogart it is more a reference to the mans actions than the man himself. Bogart was known to smoke cigars all the way down to the end. In this song "Bogart" is a verb not a known refering to smoking a "Joint" down to the end without passing it to the next person in the circle.<br /> Ro-o-o-o-o-o-oll Another One = roll another "Joint" to smoke<br /> Hit = a drag from a "joint"<br /> <br /> I hope this has clarified some things for the people who may not be hip to "stoner lingo". Be on the lookout for more stuff like this in Little Feat songs as Lowell George incorporated quite a bit of it in his songs. If you truly believe that this song is about Humphrey Bogart looking for attention in a bar then you obviously don't need any marijuana you are clearly high enough. As for me i'm gonna go RO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OLLLLL ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE and listen to Waiting For Columbus and since i'm alone at the moment you better believe i'm gonna "Bogart" this "Joint" my friends. F-E-A-T.<br /> <br />
bogart smoked cigarettes in a very fast manner in the movies..., don't bogart the thing just take a hit and pass it around
