NO CONTEXT

I was listening to the Flaming Lips' Transmission from the Satellite Heart album today and their only real "hit," albeit a novelty one, came on "She Don't Use Jelly." And I finally realized what that song is all about. Well each verse has a different sorta vague but nonetheless relevant theme. First verse: "I know a girl who thinks of ghosts/Shell make ya breakfast/Shell make ya toast/She dont use butter/She dont use cheese/She dont use jelly/Or any of these/She uses vaseline" She girl in question is some one you want something from but she won't give it to you. Because, honestly, who the fuck wants vaseline on their toast? So you get what you can and you like it.

Verse Two: "I know a guy who goes to shows/When hes at home and he blows his nose/
He dont use tissues or his sleeve/He dont use napkins or any of these/He uses magazines" This is about how sad modern magazine writing has become and by extension how bad music criticism has evolved into. It is so bad that it serves no better purpose than to be used to blow your nose.

Third Verse Three: "I know a girl who reminds me of cher/Shes always changing/The color of her hair/She dont use nothing/That ya buy at the store/She likes her hair to be real orange/She uses tangerines." She needs to be natural baby. She can't have chemical store bought product funking up her hair. She keeps things down and simple. Plus tangerines are a great drug/Led Zeppelin reference but that's beside the point.

I sincerely hope that cleared everything up for you.
