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.
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she incurs the wrath of Hermione
'Cause it's bound to be worse than me
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she incurs the wrath of Hermione
'Cause it's bound to be worse than me
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she incurs the wrath of Hermione
'Cause it's bound to be worse than me
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she incurs the wrath of Hermione
'Cause it's bound to be worse than me
Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth
before she gets in trouble

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.

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Have you ever even listened to them or been to a show? Because HatP is an awesome band. They are quite musically talented and their concerts are an absolute blast.
wow, B-12, are you implying that you don't think gay people are "normal people?" It's ok that you can't recognize brilliant music when it slaps you in the face--but please don't show your homophobia so publically. It's very offensive and embarrassing.
If by gay you mean "totally awesome," then right on!
I mean, I like harry potter and all, my favorite book AND movie, but this is just ridiculous.
this song is gay beyond description
no i mean it's lame, crappy and reminds me of those gay people who don't show off, the ones that try to hide their homosexuality, they tend to be very lame and boring cause they look like normal people but actually aren't, that's what i meant by that, not "totally awsome". The guys in this band definately need a life.
