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.
Just lay your head in daddy's lap, you're a bad girl
Bad girl (one, two, three, four)
Hey, hey
I'll let you walk all over me, me
You know that I'm a little tease, tease
But I want it pretty please, please
You know, you know, you know, I'm crazy
I just wanna be your baby
You can fuck me, you can play me
You can love and you can hate me
Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me
Choke me because I said so
Stroke me and feed my ego
I've been a bad girl, don't you know?
(Don't tell me what to do)
Come get it now or never
I'll let you do whatever
I'll be your bad girl, here we go
(One, two, three, four)
Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me
(You're a bad girl)
Baby
You know I want a little taste, taste
So let me take you all the way, way
You know you'll never be the same, same
(You fuckin' bad girl)
One night
You won't forget the rest of your life
So come on over to the wild side
Buckle up and, baby, hold on tight
Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me
We both know that you love me 'cause I'm so bad
(You fuckin' bad girl)
Choke me because I said so
Stroke me and feed my ego
I've been a bad girl, don't you know?
(Don't tell me what to do)
Come get it now or never
I'll let you do whatever
I'll be your bad girl, here we go
(One, two, three, four)
I've been a bad girl
I've been a bad girl
I'll be your bad girl
I'll be your bad girl
I've been a bad girl
I've been a bad girl
I'll be your bad girl
I'm such a bad girl
(One, two, three, four)
Choke me because I said so
Stroke me and feed my ego
I've been a bad girl, don't you know?
(Don't tell me what to do)
Come get it now or never
I'll let you do whatever
I'll be your bad girl, here we go
(One, two, three, four)
Bad, bad, bad, bad girl
Bad girl (one, two, three, four)

You can love and you can hate me
Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me

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."
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
LYRICS ARE WRONG. The chorus is totally wrong. It's actually:
''Choke me because I said so, Stroke me and feed my ego, I've been a bad girl, don't you know? (Don't tell me what to do!) Come get it now or never, I'll let you do whatever, I'll be your bad girl, here we go.''
That's the correct chorus.
