Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I'll take with me every single luxury when I leave you
Count on me for that and nothing more
- Count on me for that and nothing more
The view from this side's not what
The view from this side's not what
I thought it'd be, promise something differently
Close our eyes and let go of the wheel
It's not the quanity that bothers me
No it's not the quanity that bothers me
No it's not the quality that bothers me
It's the means, twenty-twenty surgery
Well, twenty-twenty surgery
For cheap dollar signs are a, for picture perfect point of view
Twenty-twenty surgery
Well, twenty-twenty surgery
For cheap, dollar signs are a, for picture perfect point of view
Well all young children listen, 'cause they got so much to learn
- Turn it in, turn it in
We'll get you home in time, to make them wretched be for free for being me
It's not the quanity that bothers me
- No it's not the quanity that bothers me
No it's not the quality that bothers me..
It's the means, twenty-twenty surgery
Well, twenty-twenty surgery
For cheap dollar signs are a, for picture perfect point of view
Twenty-twenty surgery
Well, twenty-twenty surgery
For cheap, dollar signs are a, for picture perfect point of view
- You do, you don't, you do, you don't
Would you like to think that?
You do, you don't, you do, you don't
Would you like to think that?
You do, you don't, you do, you don't
Would you like to think that?

You're so sensitive
I am, I am a machine.
You're so sensitive
I am, I am a machine.

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.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Just because the meanings to the songs are over your head, doesn't mean they're not there. Go listen to You're So Last Summer, it's a little more obvious for you.
