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.
She can hold on to her own
If it comes to push and shove
She has kept a lookout on
Over what's left of their love
And he keeps himself held back
For both their peace of minds
But he's no less quick to know
To begrudge of what he finds
Oh, see I should soon
See I should soon
As they watch themselves grow old
As he helps her into bed
Just a hint of it survives
Just a spark inside his head
Oh, I can't tell
How much all they seemed to care
And something in the way she tells me
I wish that I'd been there
Oh, see I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
If it comes to push and shove
She has kept a lookout on
Over what's left of their love
And he keeps himself held back
For both their peace of minds
But he's no less quick to know
To begrudge of what he finds
Oh, see I should soon
See I should soon
As they watch themselves grow old
As he helps her into bed
Just a hint of it survives
Just a spark inside his head
Oh, I can't tell
How much all they seemed to care
And something in the way she tells me
I wish that I'd been there
Oh, see I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon
See I should soon

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
"Just to hear two things about" is actually "just a hint of it survives".
tru dat, I changed it
Gorgeous trombone.
