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.
Brand New Jones
Some like to keep heat on
Some never hot enough
See I sleep with nothing on
'cause I'm always burnin' up
But we all want to try
To see each other's side
And I'll try
Til she takes my pillow
Mm
She'll say I'm lucky
She'll say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
See see
But everyday
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang alone
Some like a sweet romance
And some want to travel far
But I like a three point stance
And I hate to drive my car
But I'd go round the world
Just to please my girl
And I'll fly
If she takes my pillow
Oh
She'll say I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
But everyday
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, yeah, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
So why don't I just
Save time and reveal now
'cause sooner or later she'll
Know the deal
She'll wonder why
The bed jumps so high
When she sleeps at night
Oh yeah yeah
Oh
Tells me I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without it
See see
But everyday
I.. no...
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
Some like to keep heat on

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
