Head On - By Jesus & Mary Chain
Pixies Cover Version


C
As soon as I get my head round you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric charge from you
B/C
A second hand living just won`t do

F G
And the way I feel tonight
C F
I could die and I wouldn`t mind
F G
And the theres something going on inside

C
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
F G
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

C
And I can`t stand up, I can`t cool down
F G C F G
I can`t get my head off the ground


C
As soon as I get my head round you
I come around catching sparks off you
And All I ever got from you
B/C
Was all I ever took from you

F G
And the world could die in pain
C F
And I wouldn`t feel no shame
F G
Theres nothing holding me to blame
C
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
F G
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky


And I`m taking myself to the dirty part of town
where all my troubles can be found

I said yeah yeah, yeah yeah

And I`m taking myself to the dirty part of town
where all my troubles can be found
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you waana blow the stars from the sky

Nah it was brilliant before the Pixies touched it, even though their cover is good. This song is indeed about being on drugs, my guess would be something like E or coke, especially because of the lines "And the way I feel tonight I could die and I wouldn't mind"

It seems like this song is pretty obviously about oral sex, and the giving and receiving therof. Here is why: 1) The title, which ought to be hint enough, is not featured anywhere in the song. 2) "As soon as I get my head around you, I come around catching sparks off you." 3) "Makes me wanna blow the stars from the sky." There are lots of ways of communicating that sentiment, but only one lets you use the word "blow." 4) "And all I ever got from you was all I ever took from you." Duh. 5) "I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town where all my troubles can't be found." For other colorful descriptions of female anatomy in the JAMC catalog, see "the damp and hungry place" in "Some Candy Talking" and "her honey-dripping beehive" in "Just Like Honey" (both also about oral sex, btw). 6) Additional evidence can be found in lines like "The world could die in pain/ And I wouldn't feel no shame," "I can't stand up, I can't cool down, I can't get my head off the ground." It's interesting, the number of drug-related interpretations of JAMC songs that are actually about sex. Get your minds further into the gutter, people!
