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.
Everything's working out fine
You got all the things you want and I got mine
No more struggle and strife
Kicking back, and digging, it's a wonderful life
And then (and then) you awoke (you awoke)
To start the day out laughin'
It's some kind of a joke
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
City girls and small town boys
Big time spenders with expensive toys
Pretty people who don't look so good
Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood
But they try (they try), and they try (and they try)
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's doin' everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you wanna get it, gotta get it done
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Mama said, "Listen to me
I can't tell you what your life's gonna be
Every day there's something new, it's true
A light could shine on you"
Ohh-oh-yeah, on you, yeah
But they try (they try), and they try (and they try)
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
(A day in the sun)
Everybody's doin' everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you wanna get it, gotta get it done
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
You got all the things you want and I got mine
No more struggle and strife
Kicking back, and digging, it's a wonderful life
And then (and then) you awoke (you awoke)
To start the day out laughin'
It's some kind of a joke
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
City girls and small town boys
Big time spenders with expensive toys
Pretty people who don't look so good
Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood
But they try (they try), and they try (and they try)
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's doin' everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you wanna get it, gotta get it done
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun

A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun

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.

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
