He certainly did earn that reputation.
I could be the next to see
That there'll be nobody there
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
Now I'm caught in the middle
You're next to me
I swim with the fishes
You come from the sea
The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land
Should I be walking the beach
Then I'd be holding your hand
I could be the next to see
That there'll be nobody there
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
So now I'm caught in the middle
You're next to me
No one alive can lock the door to your dreams
Caught in the middle
Next to me
I swim with the fishes
You come from the sea
The dolphins were monkeys
That didn't like the land
Should I be walking the beach
I'll be holding your hand
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
If you feel excited
Throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
That there'll be nobody there
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
Now I'm caught in the middle
You're next to me
I swim with the fishes
You come from the sea
The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land
Should I be walking the beach
Then I'd be holding your hand
I could be the next to see
That there'll be nobody there
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign
So now I'm caught in the middle
You're next to me
No one alive can lock the door to your dreams
Caught in the middle
Next to me
I swim with the fishes
You come from the sea
The dolphins were monkeys
That didn't like the land
Should I be walking the beach
I'll be holding your hand
If you feel excited throw your hands into the air
If you feel excited
Throw your hands into the air
No one can judge you baby
That don't live your life
I need the resistance
Held by your astrological sign

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?
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
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."
In this song Brown undermines his former creationist stance, as displayed in 'I am the Resurrection' and 'Breaking into Heaven', and instead subscibes to the Darwinian theory of evolution. Dolphins and monkeys coming from the same original gene pool, the former showing disdain for dry land. Or maybe there's no real meaning and it just sounds cool.
i love this song. it was my intro to ian bc i didnt even really know the Stone Roses. im not sure wat he's going on about(im poetically illiterate), but once i think about it i'll come back.
It is about an old myth, that dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land and went into the sea, it is kind of ironic, that evolution states that we drove from the sea, this song tho points to the reverse, where monkeys who didn;'t like the land, went back to the sea and are now dolphins. I personally don't think there is any truth to this old myth, and whether it was greek myth i am not sure. The rest of the song tho,is open to interpration, parts like,' I need the resistance held by ur astrological sign' has me confused, whose sign? what sign?
I agree with Random Boy about the creationist aspects of the song - "nobody there, no one can judge you" = statements referring to god or the lack thereof. There has been some speculation that humans evolved from some type of sea creature - nostrils on the underside of the nose, blubber, etc. (check out the aquatic ape theory). But anyway, I think it is about evolution, and yeah it does sound cool.
