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 say the sweetest things and I
Can't keep my heart from singing
Along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
To this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Oh whoa oh, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)
(Someone stop this)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Well, I never let love in so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea
The more I sink in
To this 4/4 beat I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
And I've come too far to get over you
And you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
If I don't sing
It creeps in like a spider
That can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
No you won't get to me 'cause I won't sing
Can't keep my heart from singing
Along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
To this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Oh whoa oh, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)
(Someone stop this)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Well, I never let love in so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea
The more I sink in
To this 4/4 beat I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
And I've come too far to get over you
And you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
If I don't sing
It creeps in like a spider
That can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
No you won't get to me 'cause I won't sing

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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,
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
hmm? this isn't on RIOT! or All We Know Is Falling. Which means... I haven't heard it... that's not good. So what's this song from?
