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.
Yeah, yeah
Gotta leave town
Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl, you know I enjoyed it, yeah
Ain't gonna hang around 'til there's nobody dancing
I don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright
Cold hard bitch
Yeah, just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
Oh, that was all that I need
Gonna check her out
She's my latest attraction
Gonna hang around
Wanna get a reaction, yeah
Gonna take her home 'cause she's over romancing
Don't wanna hold hands and talk about her little plans, alright
Cold hard bitch
Yeah, just a kiss on the lips

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[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.
Again, perhaps the American version is different, but the lines are definately
Gonna check her out She's my latest attraction Gonna hang around Wanna get a reaction
It seems that half of the people love Jet because they sound like old bands (a welcome change from today's pop) and the other half hate them because they sound exactly like old bands.
this cold hard bitch girl is my idol.
"Gonna check her out She's my latest attraction Gonna hang Tround Wanna get a reaction"
The song actually says
"Gonna bang her She's my latest attraction Gonna hang around Wanna get an erection"
No it isn't. "Tround" should be "around" though.
How ACDC does this song sound? I love it

Oceanic Gaze... I agree with both of your personalities. What is this song aboot? Is it aboot easy sex, aggressive bitches or waiting, either way-the wrong person is on there knees here. Clearly a bit of gender bending. A clue that it could be a bit deeper than the car park puddle it presents itself as. This is excellent. back to the basics. AC/DC done well.
I have tried to edit the lyrics to this song like 4 times, but it never goes through.
sorry....i can't handle the cussing! it would be such a good song if the language wasn't so bad. i mean, yeah i know...i don't live in the 1800's, but why add language to such a good song?
Catchy as hell. Bad language? Huh?...
