Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
i swear i tried to call you
i wish you could have been there
with my new friends
they make me feel alright
you think i've got a problem
but you don't understand me
just one more line
will make me feel alright
it's like you never cared
'cause we were always there to bring you down
and so you go get high again
but now i'm not
i tried hard to save you the problem's you won't save yourself
i wasted time on you now i'll waste it on some one else
every night releasing your anger
well this is where i stop please let me off
so now the night is calling
another angel's fallen
just one more fix
will make me feel alright
goodbye to all my friends now
i guess this is the end now
there's nothing left
to make me feel alright
i wish you could have been there
with my new friends
they make me feel alright
you think i've got a problem
but you don't understand me
just one more line
will make me feel alright
it's like you never cared
'cause we were always there to bring you down
and so you go get high again
but now i'm not
i tried hard to save you the problem's you won't save yourself
i wasted time on you now i'll waste it on some one else
every night releasing your anger
well this is where i stop please let me off
so now the night is calling
another angel's fallen
just one more fix
will make me feel alright
goodbye to all my friends now
i guess this is the end now
there's nothing left
to make me feel alright

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?

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.
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."
i think this song is about two people arguing with eachother about an addiction one of them has. He has tried hard to stop his friend from using but the more he tries the farther his friend pushes away(i.e. "my new friends they make me feel alright"). then, in the last lines, the user has realized his friend was right but was too little too late because the damage has been done.
yeah pretty predictable theme! the music rules though!
