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.
Leaderboard, who's keeping score?
you've got it all and you want more
so put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
pretty boy, who's keeping score?
you've got it all and you want more
when i said goodbye to you
i didnt think that we'd make it through
put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
when i open up to you
you only tell me that you like the view
do do do do do,
do you know where to go in the event of an emergency?
eloquent and self assured
an artist's grasp of insecure
you put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
i'm getting bored, i'm getting bored
of talking straight into the wall
when i said goodbye to you
i didn't think that we'd make it through
put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
when i open up to you
you only tell me that you like the view
do do do do do,
do you know where to go in the event of an emergency?
you've got it all and you want more
so put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
pretty boy, who's keeping score?
you've got it all and you want more
when i said goodbye to you
i didnt think that we'd make it through
put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
when i open up to you
you only tell me that you like the view
do do do do do,
do you know where to go in the event of an emergency?
eloquent and self assured
an artist's grasp of insecure
you put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
i'm getting bored, i'm getting bored
of talking straight into the wall
when i said goodbye to you
i didn't think that we'd make it through
put your money where your mouth is
money where your mouth is
when i open up to you
you only tell me that you like the view
do do do do do,
do you know where to go in the event of an emergency?

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
there's more lyrics after this:
you are so disgusting you're my hero you sound just like trouble you're my hero
DO DO DO...
so dance the dance we used to dance when you cared less about the things that don't matter at all to anyone that i'd open my door to
