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.
Well, if you come from Heaven
You know that that's OK
Just as long as you're here to help me
It doesn't matter how long you stay.
Talking 'bout you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
Well, tell me, can you feel it ?
I'm felling all right myself
I'm changing my old habits
And I've found a new bill of health.
All because of you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
You do the things you do very well
You make me feel the way I've never felt
You make me feel the way I've never felt.
Don't know how I'll feel tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day
I like everything about you
What more is there to say ?
Talking 'bout you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
Talking 'bout you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children
...
You know that that's OK
Just as long as you're here to help me
It doesn't matter how long you stay.
Talking 'bout you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
Well, tell me, can you feel it ?
I'm felling all right myself
I'm changing my old habits
And I've found a new bill of health.
All because of you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
You do the things you do very well
You make me feel the way I've never felt
You make me feel the way I've never felt.
Don't know how I'll feel tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day
I like everything about you
What more is there to say ?
Talking 'bout you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
Talking 'bout you, baby
Don't you know you're fresh as a daisy, as fresh as a daisy ?
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children
Hooray, the Lord is good to his children

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.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

“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.
