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.
(not one thought for us but did you really think)
Something was lost but could it be found again
(bite the hand that fed you all these fuckin' years)
You lie to my face
(but what I really wanna know)
Is how do you sleep at (night)
Your still a fuckin' disgrace
(this won't) be the first time
(I ever) wrote a song
(without) you but this will be
(the last time I ever write about you)
(this won't) be the first time
(I ever) wrote a song
(without) you but this will be
(the last time I ever write about you)
(your words turn to ashes in your burning mouth)
Unheard your tongue lashes to spit em' out
(all along you tried to destroy me)
But look at you now
(and all I really wanna know)
Is do you believe your own (lies)
You pathetic disgrace
(this won't) be the first time
(I ever) wrote a song
(without) you but this will be
(the last time I ever write about you)
(this won't) be the first time
(I ever) wrote a song
(without) you but this will be
(the last time I ever write about you)
(for years I've swallowed my words
I am full.
I watched you talk and act absurd you fool.
I protected you, now detested you.
What the fuck did I ever expect of you.
Write this song now your gone)
(fuck you)
(This is the last time)
(fool)
(fool) this is the last time (you piece of shit)
(fool) this is the last time
(fool I don't need you)
(you left me) you'll always be dead to me
(this won't) be the first time
(I ever) wrote a song
(without) you but this will be
(the last time I ever write about you)
(this won't) be the first time
(I ever) wrote a song
(without) you but this will be
(the last time I ever write about you)

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

@[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.
TVT wasnt part of the writing process Clint was"this wont be the first time i ever wrote a song without you"
