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.
I can dim the lights
And sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango, just for two
I can serenade and gently play
On your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you
Ooh, love, ooh, lover boy
What to do tonight?
Hey boy, set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy
Ooh, let me feel you heartbeat (grow faster faster)
Ooh, can you feel my love heat?
Come on and sit on my hot seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word, your wish is my command
Ooh, love, ooh, lover boy
What to do tonight?
Hey boy, write my letter, feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the telephone
When I'm not with you
Think of you always (I miss those long hot summer nights), I miss you
When I'm not with you
Think of me always, I love you, love you
Hey boy, where did you get it from?
Hey boy, where did you go?
I learned my passion
In the good old fashioned school of lover boys
Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine
(One, two, three, four, five) precisely (six, seven, eight, nine o' clock)
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours, that will be fine
(Come on, and get it)
Ooh, love, ooh, lover boy
What're you doing tonight?
Hey boy, everything's all right, just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy
And sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango, just for two
I can serenade and gently play
On your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you
Ooh, love, ooh, lover boy
What to do tonight?
Hey boy, set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy
Ooh, let me feel you heartbeat (grow faster faster)
Ooh, can you feel my love heat?
Come on and sit on my hot seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word, your wish is my command
Ooh, love, ooh, lover boy
What to do tonight?
Hey boy, write my letter, feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the telephone
When I'm not with you
Think of you always (I miss those long hot summer nights), I miss you
When I'm not with you
Think of me always, I love you, love you
Hey boy, where did you get it from?
Hey boy, where did you go?
I learned my passion
In the good old fashioned school of lover boys
Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine

Driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely

Hey boy, everything's all right, just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
