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 know it's pretty stupid, but
I'm one of those people
Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.
I guess you might say that I'm a
Rainy day dreamer.
Well then, I guess that makes you a
Starry night accomplice.
When it's raining at night time,
I guess we have something in common.
I know it's pretty stupid, but
I'm one of those people
Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.
Then you mught tell me I'm a
Stardust collector.
That must mean you're a
Raindrop sweeper.
When the sky needs a housekeeper,
I guess we'll both be there at once.
I know it's pretty stupid, but
I'm one of those people
Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.
I guess it makes sense that we're always together,
Considering we're almost the same.
Imagine that this lasted forever,
In 100 years will you remember my name?
I know it's pretty stupid, but
I'm one of those people
Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.
I'm one of those people
Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.
I guess you might say that I'm a
Rainy day dreamer.
Well then, I guess that makes you a
Starry night accomplice.
When it's raining at night time,
I guess we have something in common.
I know it's pretty stupid, but
I'm one of those people
Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.
Then you mught tell me I'm a

That must mean you're a

When the sky needs a housekeeper,
I guess we'll both be there at once.
I know it's pretty stupid, but

Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.
I guess it makes sense that we're always together,
Considering we're almost the same.
Imagine that this lasted forever,
In 100 years will you remember my name?
I know it's pretty stupid, but
I'm one of those people
Who searches the sky for shooting stars
And watches the clock for 2:22.
You wonder what I'm wishing for,
Well wouldn't you like to know.
Wouldn't you like to know.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
this is a quite interesting song...i like it :p
I didn't like it the first time I read it, but looking at it again I think that it is one of my favorites. I like the "interesting professions" lines. I really like the verses. "When the sky needs a housekeeper" verse, and "When it's raining at night time, I guess we have something in common" and I like the chorus "and watches the clock for 2:22" now we just need someone to put it to music, and get Angie to sing it, and we'll have a real hit.
(oh and this is Clara by the way)
