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.
Sit
Good dog
Stay
Bad dog
Woo
Down
Roll over
Well here's a good man and pretty young girl
Tryin' to play together somehow
I'm wasting my life
You're changing the world
I get drunk and watch your head grow
It's the good times that we share
And the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times and the bad times that we had
Well it's been a long slow collision
I'm a pit bull you're a dog
Baby you're found in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times that we'll have
Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Til I go and kill the bottle
I go off over any old thing
Break your heart and raise a glass or ten
To the good times that we share
And the bad times that we'll have
To the good times and the bad times that we've had
Well it's been a long slow collision
I'm a pit bull you're a dog
Baby you're found in clear condition
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times we know will come
yeah
I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
You need to be nicer
You and me
For the good times and the bad times that we had
Sit
Good times
Bad times
Sweet wine
Bad wine
Good cop
Bad cop
Lap dog
Bad dog

Well here's a good man and pretty young girl
Tryin' to play together somehow
I'm wasting my life
You're changing the world

It's the good times and the bad times that we had
Well it's been a long slow collision

So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
"Well here's a good man and pretty young girl / Tryin' to play together somehow" Well this is what this song is about! :D
It's about a relationship in which the people need to cooperate a little to get right. She needs a fine wine (to relax) and he needs to be nicer (commit less mistakes or whatever you can imagine with your own perception). I see it as a hopeful song... It's fun and you can put more depth into it! :)
