Hailing from Melbourne and comprising guitarist Cameron Muncey, drummer Chris Cester, bassist Mark Wilson, and frontman Nic Cester, the foursome formed just as the new millennium was beginning. They quickly self-released 2002's Dirty Sweet, a vinyl-only EP that proved to be quite popular in Australia. The EP sold out of its initial run of 1,000 copies, and Jet's acclaim grew in the U.K. as they issued another limited-edition run. An American deal with Elektra surfaced in early 2003, and the Dirty Sweet EP was released domestically that May. An opening slot for the Rolling Stones in Jet's homeland soon followed. With buzz brewing about the band's skuzzy, old-fashioned hard rock, Jet's proper studio debut arrived in November under the title Get Born.

With its crisp guitars and start-stop tempos, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" became a radio favorite worldwide, and Get Born sold over three million copies as a result. Jet also received seven ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) nominations, six of which were awarded to the band. European dates with Oasis followed in summer 2005, and the sophomore effort Shine On arrived in fall 2006. The band maintained a steady touring pace and contributed a song to the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack. Following a short break, Jet reconvened in 2008 to begin work on a third album, which arrived one year later as Shaka Rock. They toured as support for Green Day and Powderfinger, but went on hiatus in 2010 and were fully disbanded in 2012. Jet were back in business after several years, however, playing headlining shows in Australia during early 2017.Jet is an alternative rock band which formed in 2001 in Melbourne, Australia. The band consists of Nic Cester (vocals, guitar), Cameron Muncey (guitar, vocals), Mark Wilson (bass) and Chris Cester (drums). They have released three albums: "Get Born" (2003), "Shine On" (2006) and "Shaka Rock" (2009).

In Jet's song Last Chance, the lyrics refer to a person who has had multiple opportunities to prove themselves but has repeatedly failed. The singer is dismissive of this person, suggesting that they have no value unless they have something substantial to contribute. The chorus repeats the phrase "last chance honey" several times, indicating that this person is being given one final opportunity to make things right.

The verses suggest that this person has qualities that are unimpressive or irrelevant. The singer doesn't know what this person has that they themselves could use, indicating that they don't perceive the person as having much to offer. The lines "So keep your honey in check/I got something for you/That you ain't never gonna get" suggest that the singer has something valuable that the other person wants, but they are holding it back because the other person has not earned it.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of frustration and disdain for someone who has repeatedly let the singer down. The repeated chorus emphasizes the finality of the situation, suggesting that there will be no further chances or opportunities for reconciliation.

Line by Line Meaning

Can you just give me one more try at that?
Asking for another opportunity to prove oneself

You ain't nothing to me
You are insignificant to me

If you got nothing to say
If you have no useful words for me

I don't know what you got
I am unaware of your worth

That I can use anyway
That can be of any use to me

Last chance honey
This is your final opportunity, dear

Your last chance honey
Your ultimate shot, my dear

Yeah this is your last chance honey
Indeed, this is your only chance left, dear

You ain't nothing to me
You are not of importance to me

So keep your honey in check
Therefore, control your sweet words

I got something for you
I have what you need
