Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Uh, uh, world wide mob figgaz (who we?)
World wide mob figgaz (yeah, yeah, O-U-T-L-A-W-Z)
World wide mob figgaz (who we?)
Uh, world wide mob figgaz
Check game you lil' young punks
World wide mob figgaz
All you niggas is jealous cats
What? what?
Uh, uh, now put them hands up
Rich niggas throw the grands up, and what?
I gotta prosecute to get what's mine in the nine lime
It's my time motherfucker try to stop it gon' see nine lives
Grind, crime, that's all I see when I open up
Baby girl, fuckin' you now before I blow up, you know what?
I seen your kind before
High saditty, but really like it raw
In the closet like the rider type of whore
By the shore, I pulled a trick on her
But I'm collect any fix when I put the dick on her
O-U-T-L-A-W-Z
You fuckin' with a nigga livin' destructively, pump and pee
Tuckin' T's often it counts from the flow on
I'm tryna handle my business to funk on (world wide mob figgaz)
This shit is on, it's gettin' crazy after dark
Where the real thug niggas? Here you are (world wide mob figgaz)
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (thug hang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang) (world wide mob figgaz)
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up (world wide mob figgaz)
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (thug hang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang) (world wide mob figgaz)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (world wide mob figgaz)
Nigga, duck down, bust first, make 'em feel somethin'
Shouldn't shot your gun if you ain't kill nuttin'
Now you gotta face the devil and got four heavily armed
Outlawz did that heavily gone
So we ride with the left of us, best of us
Plus we wake up with our TEC on us
We test yo' nuts in a heartbeat, sleep on the street
Obey the rules of the ones who want yo' beef, I'll eat
Y'all niggas weak, in a motherfuckin' way it's so pitiful (pitiful)
I'll leave you motherfuckers critical (critical)
We heard the slick shit you said on fuckin' Too Short tape
But you only stomp your way into an early wake, early grave (world wide mob figgaz)
That's what you brave niggas get for fuckin' with this
You had your chance to mob first you didn't you missed (world wide mob figgaz)
Just switched to fake
Napoleon be the motherfuckin' last nigga with the gat to break
The last to fade, earthquake aftershock is what you got
Fuckin' with niggas that give a damn about hip-hop
This how it goes in our family
'Cause this Outlaw shit is what we stand for gradually
World wide mob figgaz
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up (world wide motherfuckin' mob figgaz)
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up (weed smokin', gun-totin', drinkin')
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (thug thang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang) (ridin' on our motherfuckin' enemies)
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up (y'all know how we do it)
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up (world wide mob figgaz)
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (thug thang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang) (world wide mob figgaz)
I be the Young N-O, to the B-L-E
Last name O-U-T-L-A-W-Z (world wide mob figgaz)
M-A-R was for starters, squeeze the whole cartridge
Your lady called the squad and the whole sausage (world wide mob figgaz)
Clip for Knicks, hittin' donuts in the 6
Sip Coronas when we bendin' the corner, brothers hit (world wide mob figgaz)
Urban legends, dirty third still reppin'
Still double-vest to bum rush your session (world wide mob figgaz)
I get it dirty and burn, ya just a nigga in a skirt
Drinkin' Squirt, punk duck, hit the dirt (world wide mob figgaz)
Sprint to the church thinkin' God comin'
Outlawz on the ride, picture God runnin'
Ain't nothin' but a thug thang, bust your brains
'Pac passed the rock so we tucked the game
Under our belt, we huntin' the wealth, you fuckin' yourself off
Don't you know not to go against the Outlawz
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (thug thang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (thug thang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)
Ayy, watch out, man, look out
Known for doin' scandalous deeds, no handlin' me
And nah, it ain't the drugs
It's the straight thug nigga in me
I swoop down and cause havoc
My rapid delivery is automatic, lettin' niggas have it
I've been labelled as a thug nigga
Since they don't sell my shit to white folks
Ship it to the drug dealers
And catch a, catch a nigga world wide
A fuckin' mob figga West Coast, who ride
When we rob niggas money make my squad bigger
But we ain't sell our souls
Bustin' on my enemies, murder my foes
At my shows I'm a nut, lights camera, time for action
Now get to clappin' to my cuts, a world wide mob figga
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up (ayo, get that motherfucker right there)
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (ayo, K, pull out on that motherfucker and blast)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)
(Yo Moo, get over there, get over there)
We got homies on the front line, livin' it up (ayo Malc, get-)
We got ladies in the back straight, givin' it up (ayo bust on 'em motherfuckers)
It ain't nothin' but a thug thang (ayy, bust on 'em, bust on that nigga)
World wide mob figga let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)
(Ayo Yak, c'mon, Fatal, let's get the fuck outta here)
World wide mob figga, let me see a nigga nuts hang (nuts hang)

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
