He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
That look was priceless
Don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before
And it still suites you the say
You catch on quick (you catch on quick)
As the cynics stop before
They give the same review (you catch on quick)
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands
The abortion that you had left you
Clinically dead and made it All that much easier to lie
But its nothing that I'm proud of (no its nothing that I'm proud of)
Making an example out of you
Well this is phase one
This is the preview
Well this is phase one
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
Don't act like you're the first one
I treat it like disease
Sure it's rough around the edges
It's the only thing you see
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me coming
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance
You had your chance
You had your chance
Don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before
And it still suites you the say
You catch on quick (you catch on quick)

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.

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.
Your Name Here was written about Jesse Lacey, not TBS.
Pretty much all of Where You Want To Be and SR's first album have been speculated to be about the other band.
