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.
Poor sweet baby
Just what have you done now?
You’ve gone and messed things up
And there’s no one to take the blame
Precious little thing
You are all alone now
There’s no turning back and
Things will never be the same
Look what you’ve done
You’ve pushed everyone away
Now there’s only you
To take the fall
If you deny my love
There’s no way it can stay
And secretly inside you know
It’s all your fault
Poor sweet baby
Must you throw a tantrum?
Just get over yourself
There’s no need to be upset
Spoiled little brat
You just want attention
The attention you
Just never seem to get
Look what you’ve done
You’ve pushed everyone away
Now there’s only you
To take the fall
If you deny my love
There’s no way it can stay
And secretly inside you know
It’s all your fault
You’re all by yourself
Isn’t that what you want?
You don’t need any friends
Well that’s what you got
You act like a crybaby
Crying “Nobody loves me”
So sick of your friends
Well – you’re finally free!
Look what you’ve done
You’ve pushed everyone away
Now there’s only you
To take the fall
If you deny my love
There’s no way it can stay
And secretly inside you know
It’s all your fault
(What have you done
Now you’re all alone
To take the fall
My love won't stay
If you push it away
And you know
It’s all your fault)
Too bad…
So sad…
Can't lose what you never had
Never again will you get my pity
Never again will you get the best of me
Instead I’m giving you what you want
Freedom; you should be happy, or so I thought
Goodbye…
Don’t cry…
Just dry your pathetic eyes
You poor little thing
You poor sweet baby
Look what you’ve done
You’ve pushed everyone away
Now there’s only you
To take the fall
If you deny my love
There’s no way it can stay
And secretly inside you know
It’s all your fault
Hush little baby, please don’t cry…
Just what have you done now?
You’ve gone and messed things up
And there’s no one to take the blame
Precious little thing
You are all alone now
There’s no turning back and
Things will never be the same
Look what you’ve done
You’ve pushed everyone away
Now there’s only you
To take the fall
If you deny my love
There’s no way it can stay
And secretly inside you know
It’s all your fault
Poor sweet baby
Must you throw a tantrum?
Just get over yourself
There’s no need to be upset
Spoiled little brat
You just want attention
The attention you
Just never seem to get
Look what you’ve done
You’ve pushed everyone away
Now there’s only you
To take the fall
If you deny my love
There’s no way it can stay
And secretly inside you know
It’s all your fault
You’re all by yourself

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/
