    i thought of another way to look at this song. this may not be what thom intended for this song to mean, but it an interesting way to look at it.

    suicide........
    it starts off, calm and peaceful, saying everything in its right place, possibly like the person committing suicide has everything in place -- theyve written out the note, they have the knife, theyre ready, and its just kind of a weird peaceful feeling of "this is it, itll all be over soon." then later into the song, the person is thinking about their life, thinking about random little things they hate in life -- "yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon." and thinking about other people and things they have said. then the song intensifies, getting chaotic and angry -- at this point the person slitting their wrist, pulling the trigger, whatever, then the song mellows out, the person is lying on the floor, its all over, and the last few moments of the song are calm and peaceful.

    something about the mood of the song almost sounds like the end, or suicide: the steady drumbeat like a heartbeat, and the beginninig of the song is peaceful in an amost eerie way.

    i know its a little bleak, but just think about it next time you listen to the song.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

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.
