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.
You may say, our lives have changed.
But baby, I promise that we're still the same.
And the leaves are falling quicker,
Like a rain drop in the spring.
I think it's your love that I cannot believe.
Give me attention.
Give me some time.
You see, your love is just so dangerous.
It should be a crime.
To notice when you're leaving me without any sounds.
Your love is just so dangerous, sometimes.
Oh, I know this might sound selfish,
But I love you by yourself.
When it comes to your affection,
You'd rather be with someone else.
And my tears are falling quicker,
Like a snowflake in the winter.
I just wish I had the better side of your heart.
Give me attention.
Give me some time.
You see, your love is just so dangerous.
It should be a crime.
To notice when you're leaving me without any sounds.
Your love is just so dangerous,
So dangerous.
Give me attention.
Give me some time.
You see, your love is just so dangerous.
I said god damn, your love's so dangerous.
It should be a crime.
Your love is just so dangerous, sometimes.
But baby, I promise that we're still the same.
And the leaves are falling quicker,
Like a rain drop in the spring.
I think it's your love that I cannot believe.
Give me attention.
Give me some time.
You see, your love is just so dangerous.
It should be a crime.
To notice when you're leaving me without any sounds.
Your love is just so dangerous, sometimes.
Oh, I know this might sound selfish,
But I love you by yourself.
When it comes to your affection,
You'd rather be with someone else.
And my tears are falling quicker,
Like a snowflake in the winter.
I just wish I had the better side of your heart.
Give me attention.
Give me some time.
You see, your love is just so dangerous.
It should be a crime.
To notice when you're leaving me without any sounds.
Your love is just so dangerous,
So dangerous.
Give me attention.
Give me some time.
You see, your love is just so dangerous.
I said god damn, your love's so dangerous.
It should be a crime.
Your love is just so dangerous, sometimes.

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
this is the best song i've ever heard
the lyrics are self-explanatory
I've never heard this song. But the lyrics... quite superficial!
wow, this is one of my favorite songs of all time. well written lyrics too.
"to notice when your leaving me without any SIGNS"
this song is amazing. i wish they made more like it.
wow. thats the only thing you can say to a song like this. so powerful.
The sound and melody reminds me of a christmas song. haa.
But, i really like this song. I've had it on repeat for about an hour an a half.
This song reminds me of New Orleans. It sounds like something i would hear around there, I love the jazzy undertones.
The meaning is sel-explanitory.
I love this song agree with CutthroatCupcake, love the jazzy influences
This song is one of their best, it's very unexpected from them because it's pretty mellow, yet it's so powerful when you listen to it. His voice is beautiful with the lyrics. The song is definitely about how he wants to love her, but he knows that it's not going to work for many different reasons. The references to the seasons could mean that he's been dealing with this for a long time.
this song is beautiful! their best song yet!
