Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Senour Average	#1 by Senour Dakota at Dec 31, 1969 at 8:45 PM EST
	I really don't care if this song is about marijuana or not,i like the song,it give you a nice feeling,whatever your mood is.And the band's name they got it from a band called "The Vynes" in wich Craig' father used to play.

No Picture Pasquale Average	#2 by Pasquale at Dec 23, 1972 at 8:50 PM EST
	First off the song is not abut drugs not every damn song is about drugs only 1969 in my opinion second off you cant even start to say the best vines songs because there all great and they dont even have a second album AND THREE this song is fucking trippy... dont mean to offend anyone by those comments.

No Picture sebastian Wanna Be	#3 by sebastian Shamburg at Dec 19, 1975 at 9:12 PM EST
	I know it's not about a women, but it sounds nice enough for it to be. So whenever I sing along, I have a girl in mind. And I'm content

No Picture Jon Lead Player	#4 by Jon Zell at Oct 20, 1979 at 7:04 AM EST
	Craig is a genius with these slow mellow songs, of course its about marijuana and i believe that its his attachement to it. He's even really good at doing at pttuing subliminal messages in it...for all the small minded people who dont know what maryjane is its marijuana

No Picture BeN-bEn Lead Player	#5 by BeN-bEn Lesniewski at Jul 19, 1982 at 6:30 PM EST
	dude, mary jane is another name for weed

No Picture Daniel Average	#6 by Daniel Gordon at Jun 15, 1984 at 10:13 AM EST
	It's about pot. Craig has said that he has no interest in a girlfriend; that's why he's so into music. However, I think he was ambiguous for a reason, maybe to allow people to think it's about a girl. Mary Jane said life's a wait (meaning that she wants to slow down nd be with him) I already knew Because we're down, we'll lose the town (because they're so wrapped up in eachother, they lose everything else) Just like I would choose (which you want to do) Mary Jane said minds are games (maybe a consolation, "It's all in your head" type of thing) I went to the moon (He's so happy he feels high with her) Before we know, she'll have to go (but she always has to go) Wish I were there too (Wishing he could go with her) But I've got to go (But he has to go too) Mary says I, I can love you (self explaitory in this case) Life's a wait (life can wait) Why should I lose? (they've got nothing to lose) But I've got to go (but he can't) See, I think he made it so you COULD interperet it as a girl. My opinion is that it's about quitting, or at least slowing down the use, of pot.

No Picture brennan Average	#7 by brennan collins at Nov 4, 1984 at 5:22 AM EST
	Yadda yadda yadda, this song is wicked good. It must have to do with marijuana, Craig Nicholls is one of the biggest potheads ever. He carries his bong with him everwhere in a plastic bag. Yeahh Mary Jane... a girl.. puhh. Mary Jane is a smokeable goodness.

No Picture †§ean† Average	#8 by †§ean† at Oct 15, 1990 at 7:12 PM EST
	Craig probably can't sings withotu drugs ahha mary jane!

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#9 by Matt Miller at Jul 14, 2001 at 11:36 AM EST
	they got there name from craig's dad who was in a band in the 60's called the vynes, and he changed it to the vines.

No Picture Chris Average	#10 by Chris H... at May 17, 2002 at 2:39 AM EST
	I have a transcript of the song, if you'd like it. I got it off a friend. First off, Mary Janes = Marijuana Mary Jane said life's a wait (meaning you can slow down everything by getting high) I already knew Because we're down, we'll lose the town (because you're feeling down, you'll get high so that you can forget about everything) Just like I would choose (which you want to do) Mary Jane said minds are games (basically saying that by getting high you can play with your mind like nothing's really wrong) I went to the moon (kind of a feeling when you're high, like you're on the moon, weightless and that you don't have to deal with everything & your depression) Before we know, she'll have to go (before you know the feeling of being high will fade away and you'll have to face everything again) Wish I were there too (Wish you could leave with that feeling so you don't have to deal with everything) But I've got to go (but knowing you can't and you have to go back to everything) Mary says I, I can love you (basically saying that it's as if marijuana could be your only escape and you really don't need anything else) Life's a wait (slowing things down by getting high) Why should I lose? (what have you got to lose when you're high) But I've got to go (knowing that getting high is not really an escape and that you're going to have to face everything in the end) So basically that's it. Some people say that it could be referring to pot and a girl, but I don't see how that could be. It's basically a song about how Craig turns to pot whenever he's depressed or whatever. Rock On, Jazz

No Picture kyle Average	#11 by kyle anderson at Oct 7, 2003 at 6:58 AM EST
	I don't think it's about weed. Not every band writes songs about drugs. C'mon. Let's just say, I'm gonna interpret it as a pseudo love song. OK?

No Picture Nikola Rhythm Player	#12 by Nikola Supukovic at Aug 9, 2004 at 12:08 PM EST
	the vines capture a style that i thought was lost forever, that kind of old school rock n roll style. craig defently can sing, and the band has talent, they sound good, and make great music. but the lyrics to most of their songs arent that good. they sound like really, really bad poetry...like he's rhyming random lines.....but i guess its not what you sing, but how you sing it. and he sings it well...

	no one would name a song mary jane if they didnt intend for it to be about weed. they guy is depressed because he hasnt smoked a joint in a while. (and stoners often get in wierd moods when they dont have their drugs)
