Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
I'm a little pea
I love the sky and the trees
I'm a teeny tiny little ant
Checking out this and that
And I am nothing
Ah, so you have nothing to hide
And I'm a pacifist
So I can fuck your shit up
Oh yeah, I'm small
Oh yeah, I'm small
Fuck you, asshole
You homophobic redneck dick
Big and tough and macho, you can kick my ass
So fucking what?
So fucking what?
So fucking what?
So fucking what?
I love the sky and the trees
I'm a teeny tiny little ant
Checking out this and that
And I am nothing
Ah, so you have nothing to hide
And I'm a pacifist
So I can fuck your shit up
Oh yeah, I'm small
Oh yeah, I'm small
Fuck you, asshole
You homophobic redneck dick
Big and tough and macho, you can kick my ass
So fucking what?
So fucking what?
So fucking what?
So fucking what?

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.
Holiday

@[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."
This song is just a great example of why I love RHCP. Growing up in Kentucky there's quite a few homophobic testosterone junkies...fuck 'em.
For awhile, he's just acting like how someone that's full of shit would. <br /> "ohohh don't mind me; I'm just little and harmless. I'm nothing.. So go ahead and tell me all your secrets. I'm sooo against violence... And I'll kick your ass because I'm tough.<br /> Like I said; I'm small. Nothing."<br /> <br /> Then Flea states his opinion about people that are like that.
sally_cinnamon: none of them is homosexual. the "homophobic redneck dick" line is there because flea wrote this song after he was beaten by some **** who did it because they thought he was gay, as he had pink hair back then.
What the hell, fortis? You're saying that it's better to be homophobic? Where the hell do you live, West Virginia?
the world is a horrible place. try going to a christian school. i hear homophobic things all the frippin' time. it hurts.
i love this song - it's just a great way to say fuck you and i love the sarcasm. + the way it's all played on bass just gives it that perfect feel. it's just cool in general!
I just love the way they make "fuck you" sound so clean and innocent.
I love this song... it's my theme song. I fucking hate homophobes and people who want to kick my ass. It's lame.
I'm confused :-s Some of the chilis songs are about guys and some are about girls so who are the gay members? Hope this doesn't sound offensive or anything! I'm just curious!!!
So impossible: dashboard kick ass!
pandoras box: you ever read the modernised story of that? The interludes nicely writen but it focuses more on the 'first female-object of all mens desires' than on the 'hope' part.
Not that this is a book review or anything! lol
none of RHCP members is gay m8...
"What does this song mean to you?" - a rollercoaster....with cheesy backup singers. the song still rules!
Im going to agree with everyone. A wicked song sticking up for all us not so big hard men. Im not gay, but im a pacifist, so i can still shout "You can kick my ass... So fucking what" at people that are just about to beat me up. Before i run away.
