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.
Prolly get it wrong as much as I get it right,
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
What I remember most about that night is
I love the way you move baby
I love the way you move baby
I like most liquor but I don't like gin
I don't always like the skin I'm in
When I get it wrong I'm gonna start again
But I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you move baby
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you love me baby
And I love the way you move
I'm not all there, but I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me he can send me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
And I love the way you move baby
But I prayed to heaven to keep my place
'Till I looked in the mirror saw the devil's face
And I'll be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you move
Bad days come when the good day's gone
Workin' as hard as the day is long
A workin' man works but when I get home
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk baby
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must, but
Oh, remember,
Oh remember,
All the people are on parade, thought I saw a spaceman tryin' to get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, I'll remember
I love the way you love me girl
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
What I remember most about that night is
I love the way you move baby
I love the way you move baby
I like most liquor but I don't like gin
I don't always like the skin I'm in
When I get it wrong I'm gonna start again
But I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you move baby
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you love me baby
And I love the way you move
I'm not all there, but I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me he can send me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
And I love the way you move baby
But I prayed to heaven to keep my place
'Till I looked in the mirror saw the devil's face
And I'll be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you move
Bad days come when the good day's gone
Workin' as hard as the day is long
A workin' man works but when I get home
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk baby
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must, but
Oh, remember,
Oh remember,
All the people are on parade, thought I saw a spaceman tryin' to get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, I'll remember
I love the way you love me girl

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."

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

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I really can't think of a Dave song that doesn't make me think of something that has happened in my life... it is simply amazing. Even if my situation doesn't match what he wrote it about, I can make it mine. That is the beautiful thing about music like this, pure emotion can be translated into many different situations in life. Keep jammin' guys, and everybody else plz keep listening and loving!
so good live.
I agree, this is very good live. I love the fast-pace :)
these lyrics aren't correct:
first line should be:
PROBABLY GET IT WRONG MUCH AS I GET IT RIGHT, girl But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
also:
it's "I'M NOT ALL THERE, but I'm a faithful sinner"
also the part that starts with "not a man..."
maybe you heard a live version that was different now that I think about all that is wrong?
Actually, it's "I'm not all bad, but I'ma faithful sinner," idiot.
I tried submitting my version of the lyrics to the site, which were taken DIRECTLY from the CD lyrics book, but the wrong lyrics are still posted on here...this is by far my favorite song off of his new album, so maybe that's why I'm so into the correct lyrics!
these are the worst interpretations.. maybe off the live version or something<br /> <br /> <br /> I hear: <br /> "probably get a woman just like anybody <br /> but i got a right woman when i caught your eye<br /> remember most about that night is <br /> I love the way you move baby<br /> yes i love the way you move me/baby"
this song reminds me of "what i got" by sublime. It's basically about how life is always ordinary with expected ups and downs but he loves this girl so it all works out
doesnt everybody deserve to have a good life
I think this has my pick for the best on the new album.
