She Dont Use Jelly
Shes always dying her hair and messing with her appearance.
Why they use tangerines in the place of something more obovious, like hair dye, i dont know. But yeah, thats just my opinion take it of leave it.
In the first verse the opening line means she thinks of her Ex's and she will give you anything you want in anyway you want sexually. Flag anime on November 02, General Comment I don't believe there is anything sexual about this song. People have been jumping to that conclusion because it's called "She Don't Use Jelly", but Wayne's talking about jelly that you'd put on toast.
Here's my take on it First of all I think Wayne wrote it as a humourous and weird quirky song and may not have intended any particular meaning behind it, but perhaps there is meaning nonetheless. Verse 1 is about a girl who uses vaseline instead of jelly or butter, etc. This may be Wayne's way of saying "think about what you're eating" since chemically margarine and vaseline aren't that different.

Verse 2 is about a guy who goes to shows bands, movies? The guy goes out and lives his life and judges things for himself instead of paying attention to reviews. To him, magazines are no more than snot rags. Finally we have the girl in verse 3. She's using tangerines to colour her hair.

Maybe it's Wayne's way of saying that perhaps there are natural solutions we often miss or overlook. General Comment this guy knows some pretty weird girls. I honestly think this song is not supposed to have a meaning. Nonsense for the sake of enjoying nonsense. Tacking on shallow "meanings" about sex, poor people, and fashion models ruins the magic. Second verse is about a guy who died of a drug overdose remember Uma Thurman in Pulp fiction for the blows-his-nose imagery , or about someone who is so hopelessly lost in their addiction that they can't connect to anyone because they are dead inside.
Third verse is about a girl whose body was found in a dumpster, either she's dead or just has no self respect and is dead inside.
In any case, this song seems to be about drug addiction and dysfunctional people, and every time I hear this song I picture the camera slowly backing off to reveal people in their death scenes the girl in a bed at a sleazy motel with a needle in her arm or cut open on a medical examiner's table revealing broken balloons. Then the guy keeled over on a coffee table covered in magazines, unsnorted lines, and fluid that leaked out of his nose.
My Interpretation I think some songs are not very deep in their meaning, if you think when it was created in this case. General Comment I think each verse means something differenet - each person is different scary for me to say it but thereee wierd!!!!!!!

General Comment The first line is "I know a girl who makes a good host". I don't know where you got "thinks of ghosts" from. Just so you know. How does thinking of ghosts explain that at all?
Flag ArrrtStarrr on June 13, Billboard Hot , even entering the top 10 of the Modern Rock Tracks chart, at number 9. Even though the band often ignores playing their pre- Soft Bulletin material, "She Don't Use Jelly" has usually been the most notable exception and is still played live at most of their concerts to this day. After the song, lead singer Wayne Coyne usually inflates an enormous balloon, filled with confetti or smaller balloons, until it bursts onto the crowd.
In the song, Coyne describes a girl who "thinks of ghosts" and puts vaseline on toast, a guy who "goes to shows" and uses magazines to blow his nose, and another girl who uses tangerines to make her hair orange. From the band's website: It's a happy little ditty about strange people and their individual idiosyncrasies, with pretty melodies laced throughout and punctuated by trademark moments of crunching but still harmonious noise. According to Coyne, "The song came to me very quickly, and I thought it was sort of funny. The success of the song garnered the band a guest spot on the TV show Beverly Hills, , in which they played live at the show's hangout, The Peach Pit, where supporting character Steve Sanders portrayed by actor Ian Ziering remarked, "You know, I've never been a big fan of alternative music, but these guys rocked the house!
