Jynx me something crazy
Thinkin' if it's three then
I'm as smooth as the skin rolls across the small of your back
It's too bad it's not my style if you need me
I'm out and on the parkway patient and waiting for headlights
Dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the inconsistencies of my moods
It's times like these where silence means everything and no one is to know about this
It's times like these where silence means everything (so no one is to know about this)

It's a campaign of distraction (distraction)
Revisionist history, oh (and revisionist history)

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
No one is to know about this
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
Don't let me down

But whatever I have been gettin' myself into lately
Has been slicing inches from my waist
It's my face vs. the bottle (and thank God you weren't there)
And that's how bad could this hurt
Against I won't feel a thing (and thank God you weren't there)
I tell you all about
It's just not working out (to watch me hit bottom)
Not working out

It's a campaign of distraction (distraction)
Revisionist history, oh (and revisionist history)

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
No one is to know about this
It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
It's a shame I doubt they even care
No one is to know about this
Don't let me down

Better than
This is we why (we why)
We were taught so much better than this (so much better)
This is going anywhere (than this)
We like to rewind (better)
We were taught so much (so much better)
Better than, better than this (better than this!)

This is what livin' like this does
This is what livin' like this does
This is what livin' like this does (like)
This is what livin' like this does (this)
This is what livin' like this does (livin' like this)
This is what livin' like this does (livin' like this)
This is what livin' like this does (livin' like this)
This is what livin' like this does (livin' like this)
This is what livin' like this does

    the took the chorus from a well know book. they do that a lot, particulary with the titles of the songs, ghost man on third is also from a book.

    anyway this song reminds me of the quote "whoever has cares, has liqour too"

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.

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
