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.
You feel so good, you smell so good
You feel so warm just like I knew you would
I can't let you go, I can't let you go, I can't let you go
You were late to school
I'm gonna have 2 see you after class
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you a lesson
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 straighten you right out
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you
Teach you, teach you, teach you
You can call me professor
But baby you broke the rules
You won't get the grade you want
Unless you stay after school
You can work it off
Baby, I can give you extra credit
But there's something else
Girl, can I frisk you
Search your body 4
You look so guilty 2 me
If I make you nervous
It's cause you're hiding WMD's
And I'm gonna sentence you
Baby, you can do your time on me
I can't let you go, I can't let you go
You were late to school
I'm gonna have 2 see you after class
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you a lesson
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 straighten you right out (Straighten you out)
You've been a bad girl, bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you
Teach you, teach you, teach you
Teach you, teach you, teach you
Just for the moment for 2night
Can I make you mine?
Is it me? Is it us?
Can I love you all my life?
You feel so warm just like I knew you would
I can't let you go, I can't let you go, I can't let you go
You were late to school
I'm gonna have 2 see you after class
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you a lesson
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 straighten you right out
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you
Teach you, teach you, teach you
You can call me professor
But baby you broke the rules
You won't get the grade you want
Unless you stay after school
You can work it off
Baby, I can give you extra credit
But there's something else
Girl, can I frisk you
Search your body 4
You look so guilty 2 me
If I make you nervous
It's cause you're hiding WMD's
And I'm gonna sentence you
Baby, you can do your time on me
I can't let you go, I can't let you go
You were late to school
I'm gonna have 2 see you after class
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you a lesson
You've been a bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 straighten you right out (Straighten you out)
You've been a bad girl, bad girl
Someone's gonna have 2 teach you
Teach you, teach you, teach you
Teach you, teach you, teach you
Just for the moment for 2night
Can I make you mine?
Is it me? Is it us?
Can I love you all my life?

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
A song about role-playing. I can never get sick of it, probably my favorite of his.
this one crosses the line from sexy to creepy for me
