So put a spanner in the works
"You're mine"
It's easier to work
But I don't mind
You're bitter in defeat so
Just don't try
To take away all the things
I'll do in my life
I have to break down all
The corners of the world
Don't heap this praise on me
I know I don't deserve it
But what's so this I see?
Yeah, you're leaving right beside me
And I miss you, and I need you
I do
But don't go, take my love
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go
Don't go, take my love
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go
Well, leave your lover now
It's your turn
And see your mother now
I hope she's okay
You're bitter in defeat so
Let's not try
To take away all the things we'll do in our lives
I have to break down all the corners of the world
Don't heed this praise on me
I know I don't deserve it
But what's so this I see?
Yeah, you're leaving right beside me
And I miss you, and I need you
I do
But don't go, take my love
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go
Don't go, take my love
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go
All of my life
Trying to understand
All of my life
Trying to hold a hand
I have to break down all
The corners of this world
Don't heed this praise on me
I know I don't deserve it
But what's so this I see?
Yeah, you're leaving right beside me
And I miss you, and I love you
That's true

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This song is so beautiful. Luke's voice and lyrics always sound poetic. I agree that it's about losing their fathers. Maybe 'breaking down the corners of the world' is just getting on and exploring their lives without their fathers to guide them - testing their limits by themselves?
I would guess the 'see your mother' line is about their father's seeing their own mothers in heaven (or whatever is up there). I love that bit. When I listen to the song I still imagine it's about a girl because it feels romantic, and I always like the closeness of asking someone how their mother is.
The last verse is just the best though, especially the changing the lyrics right at the end.
Sorry, I know there are a couple of mistakes, specifically the first line (what does he say!?) Feel free to submit corrections
the first line says "so put a spanner in the works"
the first line says "so put a spanner in the works"
i figure its about a girl leaving to go travel, and the title Gap could refer to gap year?
who knows.
I love this song. I haven't really figured out what exactly it is about though.
are you sure, kasi? what does that even mean?
don't put a spanner in the works means don't mess things up... like throw the train off the rails... you know what I mean? like don't rock the boat... kinda =P
spanner is a type of wrench. wrench in the works
so put a spanner in the works of your mind probably means pause your mind for a moment!....maybe!!
This song was written by Paul the drummer and its about the death of his father. Luke Pritchard said that this song means alot to him coz he also lost his dad.
to put a spanner in the works means to like deliberately do something that will prevent a plan from taking place
It definitely opens with 'so put a spanner in the works.' Not sure whether the next part is 'of your mind' or 'you're mine'. I'm fairly certain it's the former.
Could also be 'To take away all the things so dear in my life.'
