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.
Came home early one night from work
Thought my wife's in bed with a jerk
She's in there with a piece of plastic
Yelling and screamin super deluxe creaming
She don't want my lovestick
Cause she's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys
She don't want to go out and dance
She don't want to get in my pants
Just stay home and vibrate
I'm getting big blisters on my hands, thinking maybe I ain't a man
Man she ain't gonna get impregnated
Cause she's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys
Play with them honey
There she was, in the bathroom, sounded like she was shaving her tallywhacker with a
battery-powered device. Me, I'm prancing around in the living room, got the demon jism
buildup, I mean I got a severe case of it. Lot of pressure on my brain, eyeballs turning white, grabbing my tallywhacker all the time. I look her in the eye, and I say, uh, I say, "baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby please! Baby you got something I need, something I want, I want to put my face in the special place." She says "what?" "I want to put my face in the special place, yeah, I want to get ring around the face honey, you know what I'm talking about, when the full moon comes around." She said "Mojy wojy, you got to do something for me if you want to do that." I said "What's that honey?" She said "Mojy, know what you got to do? You know I got these battery powered things here, and you know I got some things plug into the wall, put 110 volts on my tallywhacker. Mojo, I want you to go out to the store, I want you to get me something, something big and ugly, gigantic vibrator, Vibratorzilla it'd be. And unplug the refrigerator Mojo, get Vibratorzilla in there and put 220 on the money, honey!" I said "Baby, you done gone crazy." "And then Mojo, you can put your face in the special place...
But you're gonna have to, gonna have to
Make a little noise
Took her down to see a nurse
Cure her of this terrible curse
Doctor said lady you're afflicted, now I told you not to grab it
I pronounce you addicted
She just wants to play with her toys
She's got VD, that's Vibrator Dependency now isn't it. No honey you can't plug my toes into the wall, I ain't gonna hum no more either.

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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."
