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.
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
See the stones coming at my window
See they left man no protection
Tell his family that he won't be ok
K-I-L-L!
Check the angles from both forces
Overcome by the need to fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Fight it, fight it, fight it, fight it
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around
I hear the sounds all around

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I say goodbye

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that I say goodbye
But I don't turn around 'cause the reason is treason (I say!)
Here come the morning that I say goodbye

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.
Fast Car

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
the version with both verses(apparently the original version, also called "jacknife lee version") is on the album as well as a hidden track a few minutes after u boat. i haven't a clue as to why they changed it, the album version is so fucking flat and boring compared to the original.
i reckon the lyrics are about society today, "rubicon" referencing to caesar's military coup that founded the roman empire and in the long run today's european culture. (or it could be a reference to tangerine dream´s old album "rubycon"?) "see the stones coming at my window, see the left man no protection, tell his family that he will be ok K-I-L-L." - about soldiers being shipped off to (more often than not meaningless) war? "turn away from yourself in silence, you can't finish the country using you" - (would be great to actually get the correct lyrics, wouldn't it?) like i said, about society and trying to fight it eventhough you know there's really no point.
by far the best kasabian song out there, this. both lyrically and musically(jacknife lee version).
I like both versions. I think I like this version better, though. Lyrically, the Jackknife version is more interesting. But this version is truer to Kasabian's sound. The reason they "changed it" is that they didn't like what Jackknife Lee was doing mixing their album, so they ditched him. I like the Kasabian sound better. Flat and boring? Well, that's not how I hear it.
I think this song is about how people are let down by thier government, especially considereing recent events. Kasabian have a kind of running thing with communism, and that would seem to continue here. Basicalle saying the government are wrong (reason) is treason. not 100% but thats wot i get out of it, especially after seeing the video. Not sure if it refers to Us or Uk tho, possibly commy russia, isnt serge russian or somethin? Think the churchill thing was probably sarcastic, cant see them being big fans of his! Love th song + album!
Left out the line 'I hear the sounds over the wall, I hear the sounds over the wall'. And it's 'Here come the morning THAT I'll say goodbye to you.' :-D
Quality song, Kasabians best I reckon. I dawdled "'cause the reason is treason" all over my English file at college... It's one of those songs that gets a hold of you.
Really klass music...very dark soundin :)
Best Kasabian song definatley. Agree with I got soul, sounds dark (in a good, indie type way...)
Is there another version of this song? I just heard one which doesn't have the first verse and has a couple of lines missing from the second verse, but has an interlude towards the end, with the words 'I hear the sirens all around'. I much prefer the version that has both verses, though - the one I heard recently sounded rather dull and repetitive.
This is a bit of a stretch, but I believe this song is about a guy who has to leave his girl to pursue political initiatives...anti-war protesting seems to be the reason, which is treated like treason in most countries, whether they preach freedom of expression, speech, assembly, etc or not. "Crossing the rubicon" is an expression that refers to reaching the point of no return, as Julius Caesar had broken the law(treason?) at this point and had no choice but to go all out and expand the empire. Legend has it that Caesar was very skeptical about the decision for teh days leading up to the crossing as well....this is echoed by the man having to decide between the chick and the resistence when he says "Check the angles from both forces, overcome by the need to fight it" and "the chains of dirt passed on to me" could refer to the burden of knowing that there is a better way than war and having no choice but to pursue a life of resistence. Verdict: Sick Track.
@realeyes_realize Every song is not about breaking up with a girl. This one certainly isn't.
This is a blinder of a tune! Especially live, it blew me away! I dont really think there is a meaning to this song, i just enjoy it for what it is; a cracking tune!
AWESOME! TOTALLY AWESOME! I saw these live in Hyde Park last night and they blew me away... so much energy and power on stage... this song is fantastic... not 100% on the meaning, i think what lindie said is the closest i have seen to making some sense out of it?! couple of errors in the lyrics above tho... its "see the left man no protection" and "tell his family that he will be ok" - however, i think that in the hidden track after u-boat it then says "tell his family that he WONT be ok"
@rufstuf I think it is just the singer's voice that makes it sound like "won't." I'm pretty sure it's "tell his family that he will be okay."
