Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm, I'm the one you
I'm, king of stage
I'm, king of stage
Baby, I wanna tell you something
I'm the one you need
Baby, I wanna tell you something
For you my heart bleeds
Baby, I wanna tell you something
The way we feel is not a sin
Baby, I wanna tell you something
Just let the love begin
In one sense, it's curiosity
The rest is just formality
I see that look in your eyes
And your clever combinations
Breaking young hearts
Must be your occupation
Checking my Swatch, she was right on time
She walked so hot, hot, hot
Too sweet, a visual treat
One look and I'd leave my feet
Won't apologize for the way I feel
She shook me up with the rock and reel
I asked the girl if she was ready to ride
Three seconds later she was by my side
Baby, I wanna tell you something
I'm the one you need
Baby, I wanna tell you something
For you my heart bleeds
Baby, I wanna tell you something
The way we feel is not a sin
Baby, I wanna tell you something
Just let the love begin
What you've got is too hot to handle
For the ordinary guy and try they must
But with you they bite the dust
It seems they like that certain style
The night, baby, at our favorite spot
She gave me a kiss that I never forgot
I wasn't ready to turn in yet
But she said nothing more, I would get
So I guess I have to overwhelm you
Pick a star in the sky and I'll send you
Just grab my hand and let it shake
And listen to my drum while it starts to break
B.Brown, B.Brown
My name is B.Brown, B.Brown
Listen
Baby, I wanna tell you something
I'm the one you need
Baby, I wanna tell you something
For you my heart bleeds
Baby, I wanna tell you something
The way we feel is not a sin
Baby, I wanna tell you something
Just let the love begin
Jump on it
King of stage

The way we feel is not a sin
Baby, I wanna tell you something
Just let the love begin
I'm, I'm the one you
I'm, king of stage
I'm, king of stage
Baby, I wanna tell you something
I'm the one you need
Baby, I wanna tell you something
For you my heart bleeds
Baby, I wanna tell you something
The way we feel is not a sin
Baby, I wanna tell you something
Just let the love begin
In one sense, it's curiosity
The rest is just formality

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."
