Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorry man sorry sorry I've got a bad eye
I shouldn't have, I should've looked at it

The sugar star the sugar star and the, the abortionist and hey
You want her on the bed with her legs wide open and her eyes all spread

Sky's a narcotic with blackjack bones
Mrs. Jones aww Mrs. Jones aww
Cry me a river but just take me home
Oh, Mrs. Jones aww Mrs. Jones

Sorry man I gotta a gut slit me fucking ran away with my abortionist
My little eye blacked you know gizzed with
The knife they used to gut my face in
It's been out stabbing baby baby angels
Smile smile

The sky's a narcotic with black jack bones
Oh Mrs. Jones please Mrs. Jones my virus is raging
It's breaking my bones oh Mrs. Jones please Mrs. Jones

When I lean on the sink don't worry don't worry don't worry baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hole's song Mrs Jones are disjointed, confusing and do not seem to follow a coherent storyline. However, they seem to be indicative of the lead singer's emotional and mental state at the time. The song is full of random outbursts, such as "sorry man sorry sorry I've got a bad eye," which seem to be representative of a person struggling to express their thoughts and emotions coherently. Some of the lyrics are sexually suggestive, such as "You want her on the bed with her legs wide open and her eyes all spread." This line juxtaposes the sexualization of women with the disturbing imagery of an abortionist, making for an unsettling lyrical mashup.


There is a strong sense of desperation and pain in the lyrics. The lead singer expresses her physical pain in the lines "my virus is raging, it's breaking my bones." She also seems to be grappling with mental health issues when she sings "just take me home" and "cry me a river." These lyrics suggest a longing to escape from reality and the overwhelming emotions that come with it. Overall, the song seems to be an expression of great distress and chaos.
