its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
The time has come, the time has come, the time has come today
The time has come, the time has come, the time has come today
(Bells)
The time has come, the time has come, the time has come today
The time has come, the time has come, the time has come today
And so all the good people wanna rescue
All the smart people wanna talk to you
All the clever people wanna tell you
All the little people wanna dance, it's true
But the time has come, the time has come, the time has come, the time has come
The time has come, the time has come, the time has come, the time has come
The time has come, the time has come, the time has come today
The time has come, the time has come, the time has come today
And so all the good people wanna rescue from
All the smart people wanna talk to you
All the clever people wanna tell you
All the little people wanna dance, it's true
Cloud, block out the sun
Over me, over me
And spoil, spoil all the fun
Won't you please
Cloud, block out the sun
Over me, over me
And spoil, spoil all the fun
Won't you please
If you please, please anyone
Talk to me, talk to me
All you boys, lonely and drunk
On your knees
Us and them
Over and over again
Us and them
Over and over again
Us and them
Over and over again
Us and them
Over and over and over again
Because all the good people wanna rescue
All the smart people wanna talk to you
All the clever people wanna tell you
All the little people wanna dance, it's true
So it's us v. them
Over and over again
Us v. them
Over and over again
Us v. them
Over and over again
Us v. them
Over and over and over and over
It's just us v. them
Over and over again
Us v. them
Over and over and over and over
All the good people wanna rescue
All the smart people wanna talk to you
All the clever people wanna tell you
All the little people wanna dance, it's true
It's just us and them
Over and over again
Us v. them
Over and over again
Us v. them
Over and over again
Us v. them
Over and over again

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
the hot chip idea is interesting, particularly that hot chip has a song called "over and over" which matches up with the over and over part of this song, still im not sure what to think. theres not much to go off of, its still a great great song though, one of my faves and im really not a fan at all of hot chip, i dont think either of them sound alike
