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.
The movie's gnarly
But I'm retarded
The drugs they're taking
Is how I feel like
Who's got the money?
It's like they speak a different language
I'm catching every other word
What did the black guy just say?
Well it was probably key
We should have turned on subtitles
Who's got the money?
(you can't remember what you came here for)
Who's got the money?
(you never 'member what you came here for)
Who's got the money?
(you never 'member)
He'll pull the trigger and mess you up, man, if you don't run
He's got a little bit more for you here
Don't run
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
I got a little bit more for you here
Saving it, yeah
Don't run
I got a little bit more for you here
(Just as long as I don't mind you there)
(A little bit more and I complain)
(Someone's get along)
Who's got the money?
(Allright)
(Save it, it's stupid and pointless and why not?)
You take my money
(Why not get along? why not get along?)
(Get on home)
(You can't remember what you came here for)
You take my money
(You never 'member what you came here for)
(You never 'member)

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

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.
