its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I know you told me this before
I know you told me this a million times.
You say you don't know how you feel.
You don't know if you even love me anymore.
If she was a good kisser.
Then I'd know how much I'd miss her
January came. for April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown.
By Christmas we were through
I wish I didn't say I'm sorry
I wish you loved me still the same
I wish I wasn't such a wishy washy prick
I wish I said just how I felt
If I was a good listener
Maybe you would still be here
January came. for April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown.
By Christmas we were through
I still miss the way we touched
I miss the way you bite my tongue
I miss the way you run away
You run away
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me
I know you told me this before
I know you told me this a million times.
You say you don't know how you feel.
When will you know just how you feel
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me (i know you're leaving me)
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me
I know you told me this a million times.
You say you don't know how you feel.
You don't know if you even love me anymore.
If she was a good kisser.
Then I'd know how much I'd miss her
January came. for April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown.
By Christmas we were through
I wish I didn't say I'm sorry
I wish you loved me still the same
I wish I wasn't such a wishy washy prick
I wish I said just how I felt
If I was a good listener
Maybe you would still be here
January came. for April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown.
By Christmas we were through
I still miss the way we touched
I miss the way you bite my tongue
I miss the way you run away
You run away
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me
I know you told me this before
I know you told me this a million times.
You say you don't know how you feel.
When will you know just how you feel
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me (i know you're leaving me)
January February march April may.
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you're leaving me

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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."
