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.
So hot outside all I can wear
Is these cut off overalls
And sandals on my feet
But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket
Just so I could sit there on a broken seat
I got no place I should go
I got no worries you know
Second or seventh street
It doesn't matter to me
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Well I pulled back down to
My upstreet apartment
The air never works in that old place
Twenty-seven I thought I'd
Be further along
Than just this rented space
I got no papers to read
I got no cable TV
And I got no places to be
I got no people to meet
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm on a roll
When I'm with you
Don't stop me now
I just can't lose
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Yeah I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Is these cut off overalls
And sandals on my feet
But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket
Just so I could sit there on a broken seat
I got no place I should go
I got no worries you know
Second or seventh street
It doesn't matter to me
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Well I pulled back down to
My upstreet apartment
The air never works in that old place
Twenty-seven I thought I'd
Be further along
Than just this rented space
I got no papers to read
I got no cable TV
And I got no places to be
I got no people to meet
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm on a roll
When I'm with you
Don't stop me now
I just can't lose
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night
'Cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
Yeah I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Really upbeat song. It's good to listen to and jam in the car!
