“Me and Mrs. Jones” is an ode to heroin taking.

Heroin addicts call a fix a “Jones.”

I never realized that. But I’m slow at times. I didn’t realize what “dancing with Mr. Brownstone” was until I looked it up.

This sounds like an affair, not like a heroin habit. Unless of course heroin has it’s obligations to attend to.

Me and Mrs Jones, we got a thing going on
We both know that it’s wrong
But it’s much too strong to let it cool down now

We meet ev’ry day at the same cafe
Six-thirty I know she’ll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song

Me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on
We both know that it’s wrong
But it’s much too strong to let it cool down now

We gotta be extra careful
That we don’t build our hopes too high
Cause she’s got her own obligations and so do I
Me, me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
Mrs Jones got a thing going on
We both know that it’s wrong
But it’s much too strong to let it cool down now

Well, it’s time for us to be leaving
Iit hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she’ll go her way and I’ll go mine
But tomorrow we’ll meet the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones

No

It’s the song about an affair with a married woman

I knew that even at 15 when the song came out

Cool album cover and decent sound production

Crisp with clarity like Ziggy Stardust or anything George Martin
