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.
Woman, I know it's not easy to say
But I miss you the longer I'm so far away
You know me, it's not easy to find the words
Woman, I miss you each day in the desert
Woman, tomorrow I might bite the dust
Believe me, I don't want to stay but I must
God help me, I'm so afraid, don't let me down
Oh, woman, I love you, I love you, I love you,
How I long for you, woman
We belong to each other...
Woman, I'm so afraid, don't let me down
Oh, woman, I love you, I love you, I love you,
In the gunfire's roaring sound
When I'm falling to the ground
I can see your face so real
Oh, how I long for you, woman
We belong to each other...
I wish it would be like before
In the days of the cold war
We could play around in peace
Oh how I long for you woman
We belong to each other...
But I miss you the longer I'm so far away
You know me, it's not easy to find the words
Woman, I miss you each day in the desert
Woman, tomorrow I might bite the dust
Believe me, I don't want to stay but I must
God help me, I'm so afraid, don't let me down
Oh, woman, I love you, I love you, I love you,
How I long for you, woman
We belong to each other...
Woman, I'm so afraid, don't let me down
Oh, woman, I love you, I love you, I love you,
In the gunfire's roaring sound
When I'm falling to the ground
I can see your face so real
Oh, how I long for you, woman
We belong to each other...
I wish it would be like before
In the days of the cold war
We could play around in peace
Oh how I long for you woman
We belong to each other...

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Punchline
