Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Janie always said I was a mess
I'm sorry 'bout that mess
I made her bleed
I'm planting my seed
Still I knew she could take it if I opened up the rhythm
I knew it could make it
But I hope her parents love her
So, feelin' the acid on the brain
Still I got that frame I made
Her bleed yes she wants that lovin' you see
Well if you live you want to give or get old
And if you never knew that we get old, you live it up, live it up
You get old, believe me when I say
It's the same shit everyday
But I got to know my place
And if you don't it fucks you in your face
But I know her parents love her
And I hope her parents love her
I hope her parents love her so
Billyed back in 1983, what did you do for me
I made her bleed
I'm planting my seed
I knew we could make it
But I only knew that the bitch would break it
I hope her parents love her
So my God look at me
If he had to go I know
I'm barely lovin' my holy creed
You never knew that was what you need
Oh my God honestly believe it or not it's a disease
I hope her parents love her
I hope her parents love her, so
I'm sorry 'bout that mess
I made her bleed
I'm planting my seed
Still I knew she could take it if I opened up the rhythm
I knew it could make it
But I hope her parents love her
So, feelin' the acid on the brain
Still I got that frame I made
Her bleed yes she wants that lovin' you see
Well if you live you want to give or get old
And if you never knew that we get old, you live it up, live it up
You get old, believe me when I say
It's the same shit everyday
But I got to know my place
And if you don't it fucks you in your face
But I know her parents love her
And I hope her parents love her
I hope her parents love her so
Billyed back in 1983, what did you do for me
I made her bleed
I'm planting my seed
I knew we could make it
But I only knew that the bitch would break it
I hope her parents love her
So my God look at me
If he had to go I know
I'm barely lovin' my holy creed
You never knew that was what you need
Oh my God honestly believe it or not it's a disease
I hope her parents love her
I hope her parents love her, so

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."
Man what a song. My god. Nothing like it. To me it's about the intensity of life in Brad and the reality that living that way kills you - but told through a story about getting a girl pregnant - freedom against the pull of what you feel you should do - but a celebration of that torment - in the live versions i've heard he sings "i hope my parents love her" at the end, as if he's decided to stay...
