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.
Dial up my number now
Weaving it through the wire
Switch me on, turn me up
Don't want it Baudelaire
Just glitter lust
Switch me on, turn me up
I want to touch you you're just
Made for love
I need la la la la la
I need ooo la la la la
Calls up and round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on, turn me up
Oh child of Venus you're just
Made for love
You know I walk for days
I wanna waste some time
You wanna be so mean
You know I love to watch
I wanna love some more
I'll never be the same
A broken heel like a heart
I'll never walk again
Weaving it through the wire
Switch me on, turn me up
Don't want it Baudelaire
Just glitter lust
Switch me on, turn me up
I want to touch you you're just
Made for love
I need la la la la la
I need ooo la la la la
Calls up and round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on, turn me up
Oh child of Venus you're just
Made for love
You know I walk for days
I wanna waste some time
You wanna be so mean
You know I love to watch
I wanna love some more
I'll never be the same
A broken heel like a heart
I'll never walk again

Techno Ted

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.

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
"I don't want it Baudelaire, just glitter lust." Says it all, she doesn't want poetic love making, she wants animalistic, materialistic, and impartial rutting
Booty call imo.
Does anyone else get the feeling this is about a vibrator?
"Turn me on, turn me up." -- Quite obvious.
"I want to touch you, you're just made for love." --VIBRATOR.
This song is TOTALLY about a vibrator. Only a few lines don't fit perfectly.
Dial up my number now Weaving it through the wire -I originally figured this was a phone number, but things besides phones have numbers and dials and wires.
Switch me on, turn me up -No interpretation necessary
Don't want it baudelaire Just glitter lust Switch me on, turn me up I want to touch you you're just Made for love -Another easy interpretation, the last three lines.
I need la la la la la I need ooo la la la la Calls up and round me Teasing your poetry Switch me on, turn me up Oh child of venus you're just Made for love You know I walk for days I wanna waste some time -Loses me for a bit in the middle, but the vibrator thing is back with "I wanna waste some time"
You wanna be so mean You know I love to watch -Watching some materials? Even the mean line fits pretty well.
I wanna love some more I'll never be the same A broken heel like a heart I'll never walk again -From the sound of these lines, it worked.
Like a lot of Goldfrapp this needs to be heard because what she manages to do with the sounds of the words is extraordinary and extraordinarily sexy.
All the glitter shoegaze glamy attitude from Goldfrapp is amazing.
This song is completely lust.
Goldfrapp is great. The voice is very sensual and sexy... And the beat is amazing!
What does this song mean to me? Hmmm.... sexily yummy.... definitely...!!!
Or... is it... yummily sexy??
In this song, her voice sounds a lot alike to that of Marc Bolan from the glam-rock band T. Rex. Weird.
