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.

...What what what, yo yo yo
[Gigan] [Chorus]
Krazy world, get it where you fit in
Shoes add a roll of dough there for the pickin
Switch up your stuff telegraphin how you livin
Its all about me, all about you
In the krazy world, get it where you fit in
Shoes add a roll of dough there for the pickin
Switch up your stuff telegraphin how you livin
Its all about me, all about you
[Gigan]
Check it plan em, bump wit them chumps then I abolish em
Been doin it since double 01’s with five dollars
Pinstripe knees and deez with side pockets
Keep it shinin' in the Ziegfried shirt with wide collars
Since see I be shots in bam bam venom ?
I be scrammin, makin sure them heads is satisfied with the
See the inside the cut was just right
Fresher than southern dubs, enough to buff pipes
While I turn out they chicks to suck mics and strips for the bills
And get 'em addicted and pool all they skills
Straight pimpin, mac daddy ain't nothin wrong with hustlin
When the time calls, fall, then puff on chron and bust ‘em
Then I do shit to chicks some youngins call disgustin
Fuck 'em in they butt then have 'em suck off my nut then
Give 'em what they need and keep turnin out tricks
Put 'em on the strip at nine have 'em return about six
Then um, then press the ho, put a burner out quick
Get move on the low, cuz rumors spread the word of mouth quick
Pimp hoes, pimp em, blix loves, lick em, sell drugs sell em
Smixin up turn you to a felon
In a...
[Gigan] [Chorus]
Krazy world, get it where you fit in
Shoes add a roll of dough there for the pickin
Switch up your stuff telegraphin how you livin
Its all about me, all about you
In the krazy world, get it where you fit in
Shoes add a roll of dough there for the pickin
Switch up your stuff telegraphin how you livin
Its all about me, all about you
[Gigan]
Listen close, ain’t no doubt in the game
If you need a broke or cuttin a whole mountain of cane
You still ride up 25 percent so they chopped up
Or they drive slow till they glock up
Open shop up, rims streach fat like bad rashes
Fall back and the guards and they be bad asses
As they come back, it's pourin mad acid rain
Smoke an L, straight blow from them cells
Stash up, keep that dough for my bail
Plus a 44 with shells, in case shit go to Hell
Be up on a hundred of cash with two jammies
Plus the broad to transport the crack in the poonanies
Hand pick the click of a cat thats too candy
Ride a die fan those is wilds is my man to
Tell it how it is, thug-wild style cause kids money’s smart
Dont talk, just be chill and be kids B
Down for the dibs and gazelles and suede pumas
Havin broads stashin the cash in the bra and the bloomers
Cock-blockin your spot with fakes rocks to ass pimpin
Know that you puss in this cash that we passin you
[Gigan] [Chorus]
Krazy world, get it where you fit in
Shoes add a roll of dough there for the pickin
Switch up your stuff telegraphin how you livin
Its all about me, all about you
In the krazy world, get it where you fit in
Shoes add a roll of dough there for the pickin
Switch up your stuff telegraphin how you livin
Its all about me, all about you

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,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
