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.
Yeh yeah!
(steady eddy)
Oh fuck off mate, you got about as much manners, yelling out stup.. puttin’ shit on poor old..Don’t fucken parrot pack like that!
You’d be askin’ poor fucken Steady Eddy to go in a an egg and Spoon race, you’d do!
Poor fucken Steady. You’d be askin’ the poor fuck to thread a needle!
Steady, I took Steady out the other night the bloody to. Wherever the fuck it was, the Tullamarine, yeah to ah the Dragonfly. Took Steady out to the Dragonfly, Tullamarine there for a Chinese feed. Had to bring the poor prick halfway through the night he had stab marks in his cheeks. Don’t give Steady fucken chopsticks!
Line him up a blind date, the woman bloody abused him the next day. Reckon she felt like she been standin’ nude at the end of a fucken golf drivin’ range when Steady had finished with her. Bruises all over her vagina when Steady had been tryin’ to plant one!
Took Steady up to bloody Queensland, were divin’ off Briby Island. Poor old Steady come up too quick he got the fucken straights!
I was gonna take a break there but I feel guilty that we put shit on Steady Eddy and I wanna do a dedication to him kinda show me respect.
I do a quick dedication to Steady, ok right here ya go. Show respect
Steady Eddy don’t have mates at the piss trough,
Cos Steady sprays it all around the room!
If you’re standing next to Steady at the piss trough
The quicker that you leave one leg too soon
Yes he’s very liked is our Steady
And he’s got a lot more mates than me and you
But he don’t have any mates at the piss trough
Cos Steady wouldn’t piss all over you!
Great audience, yes sir, thank-you, great, thank-you, yeah, yeah
Look at all these cunts bowin’ that’s fucken great!
Thank-you very much what a great audience!

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 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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
