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.
I will follow you now wherever you go
I'll be with you now, stick around forever
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that I ain't that tough?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
There's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, it's happiness
Ain't that right? Ain't that right?
And I will have a thousand dreams of how I care for you
Through these careless dreams, look into the future
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that you make me breath out?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't never stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, happiness
Oh, it's always been you, it's always been you
And I know you got to make it right
Handing out my feelings on these goods are too loud
Oh and it don't matter, yeah I pay my dues
And you know there's one thing that keeps us together
It's gonna keep us together now, now, now, now
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all I got, it's happiness, happiness
I'll be with you now, stick around forever
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that I ain't that tough?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
There's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, it's happiness
Ain't that right? Ain't that right?
And I will have a thousand dreams of how I care for you
Through these careless dreams, look into the future
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that you make me breath out?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't never stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, happiness
Oh, it's always been you, it's always been you
And I know you got to make it right
Handing out my feelings on these goods are too loud
Oh and it don't matter, yeah I pay my dues
And you know there's one thing that keeps us together
It's gonna keep us together now, now, now, now
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all I got, it's happiness, happiness

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
in my opinion this is a love song which tells us about the happiness that a woman brings to a man
listen to the song again.
