Actually the song is about the song itself and the fact that it doesnt matter what the lyrics are as long as he sings them using the hook of the song, which is all people are listening to anyway the first time they hear it.Hydro120 wrote:not to take this off topic or anything....and i only bring it up because i only recently went and looked up these lyrics, and they pertain to the subject of this thread, but...

Im pretty sure he used to play the tune of the song to his sister Jane and she would always like it. Thats how it came to be "Song That Jane Likes." Then he added some lyrics to it involving Shakespeare and plays. (Something like that)i like tictacs wrote:No, there is meaning to it, his sister or him or something was a play writer. 'and in plays to write the wire in...'CWMCALL wrote:I think that STJL also falls into the fairly meaningless lyrics catagory
it's a whole thing about his sister though

If they don't mean anything they're probably about drugs. the one-size-fits-all solution.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
