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 met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Cherry Cola
C-O-L-A Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola
La la la la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola
La la la la Lola
Well I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola
La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes I almost fell for my Lola
La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola
Lola
La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
And I looked at her and she at me
That's the way that I wanted to stay
And I always wanted to be that way for my Lola
La la la la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
Except for Lola
La la la la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
So was Lola
La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola
Lola
La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola
Lola
La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola

La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola

La la la la Lola

La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola
Lola
La la la la Lola
La la la la Lola
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Cherry Cola
C-O-L-A Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola

Oh my Lola

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
When We Were Young

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
what a great song this was. for starters i like mcfly. but they had to ruin this great Kinks song, no effort in it at all.
I think the government should give me a chainsaw and a map to the members of Busted and McFly's house's, I would even work 'pro-bono', it's for the good of the world after all.
i love this song..its so funny
Aw fucking hell!
For gods sake people! leave mcfly alone! it's not like they released it as a single and turned it into a joke, ok it may not be the best version but it was a B-side to one of their singles (or busted, not sure) and they were only having a laugh, they've also done a joke version of build me up buttercup, is someone gonna complain about that as well! if they done a cocked up version and released it then fair enough, insult them, but the only poeple who would ever hear them covering it were fans, and it makes me wonder, how most of the people commenting here have ever heard it , the must have either bought the single or downloaded it, and for someone who hates mcfly so much, they obvioulsy went to a lotta trouble to listen to this song!
how can i get this song?????????????
Ah Jesus! Is this song just a shit pie or what? The two most annoying bands in the world! WHY??? WHYYY?????
I love this it's really good, oh and for the people that don't like Mcfly and Busted here's an idea don't listen to them.
i agree with cat101 i love this song aswell, i think its wicked.
