This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Here she comes
Lady luck again
Figure of eight
Six and nine again.
I, I, I, my lady with the spinning head.
Whatever the deal
She won't let me down
Wherever I go
She's always hanging round.
Lady with the spinning head.
Lady with the spinning head.
She's been gone
But I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent
She put me in the black.
I, I need you lady with the spinning head.
Mean old man took away my car
Those credit guys they've got the power
I'm on top
When she's around
She's the ticket
Out of town.
Lady with the spinning head.
Lady with the spinning head.
Lady with the spinning head.
Lady luck again
Figure of eight
Six and nine again.
I, I, I, my lady with the spinning head.
Whatever the deal
She won't let me down
Wherever I go
She's always hanging round.
Lady with the spinning head.
Lady with the spinning head.
She's been gone
But I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent
She put me in the black.
I, I need you lady with the spinning head.
Mean old man took away my car
Those credit guys they've got the power
I'm on top
When she's around
She's the ticket
Out of town.
Lady with the spinning head.
Lady with the spinning head.
Lady with the spinning head.

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Lady with the spinning head? Figure of 8? 6 and 9 again? Sounds like oral sex to me.
If you want verification read Willie Williams blog during the U2360 tour. Willie is the producer and light designer for U2's concerts and this is his favorite song. As one other person noted, and correctly so, it is a song about oral sex in an inverted position. Refer to the first verse: Figure of eight Six and nine again
In fact, from the same blog post, the original title of the song was soixante-neuf(French gives it a little more decorum).
@mrmacphisto What's oral sex in an inverted position. Normal position?
This song is on the Best of 1990-2000 B-sides CD. Absolutely no idea what it means. Cool dance track though, if you're into that kinda thing...
I love this track, especially the extended dance mix on the 1990-2000 B-sides. As for the meaning, i think it's about gambling. "She's got the rent She put me in the black" can be interperated two ways. The black can refer to the color on a roulette wheel in a casino or the fact that all the money won from betting has put the owner "in the black" financially speaking. "Mean old man took away my car those credit guys they've got the power" shows how sometimes people get addicted to gambling, lose all their money and eventually all their stuff gets taken away. A great song, its the first track on my mp3 player :).
Look at this beauty! I have an overwhelming wish to sleep The sky-colored girl Possessed with laughter Now to make it worse Starting a song—singsong song “When I find my love, I shall torment him.” Everyone laughs How she comes with me to the night forest And once across a crowded trolley bus I saw her hand my ticket and my change And sighed And wouldn’t wait And has gone
[paraphrased poetry]
The "lady with the spinning head" refers to the actual roulette wheel.
When he speaks of "she's got the rent", it shows that he's not gambling for fun, he's gambling his money in order to pay for things and he thinks that its the "ticket out of town." ... he obviously isn't always successful though - "Mean old man took away my car those credit guys they've got the power"
It makes so much sense now. It's about gambling.
This has a great beat.. I agree it's about gambling..I think the : the lady withthe spinning head might refer to a good luck charm ...
I think it's about Regan from 'The Exorcist'.

The title of the song doesn't refer narrowly to a roulette wheel, but rather more broadly to "Lady Luck". It's essentially U2's version of "Luck be a Lady Tonight". The "spinning head" simply refers to the fact that Luck is constantly changing her mood.
One of U2's greatest B-sides ever. Fantastic opening synth riff. Didn't realize it was about gambling till I read the lyrics here. I wonder if the lyrics are right, though -- I always heard "She's got the red, she put me in the black." The colors on a roulette wheel (and in a deck of cards, come to think of it -- and in your financial books too) are red and black.
