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.
So outta reach so far away
Another's woman and can't keep away
Can't be alone wastin' all of my time
I'm in pain, I'm in heartache
It's gonna end up in a heartbreak
And no one knows how to make it alright
I've seen love before
I can't take this anymore
Someone's losin' her heart
She's got the lovin' that gives me peace of mind
I'm still here waitin' for her to see the light
It would be so good, be so fine
Give me the love that you know is mine
It would be so good, be so fine
Let me know when your heart is mine
To love a brother, to love another
To have a friend you can count on forever
How can you tell him his lovin' is mine
She's got the lovin' that gives me peace of mind
I'm still waitin' for her to see the light
Search my soul
T'find out wrong from right
All I know
I'm alone tonight
I know I outta try to leave it
I know I should
But my heart needs to keep her
I got to tell her
I can't wait no more
Another's woman and can't keep away
Can't be alone wastin' all of my time
I'm in pain, I'm in heartache
It's gonna end up in a heartbreak
And no one knows how to make it alright
I've seen love before
I can't take this anymore
Someone's losin' her heart
She's got the lovin' that gives me peace of mind
I'm still here waitin' for her to see the light
It would be so good, be so fine
Give me the love that you know is mine
It would be so good, be so fine
Let me know when your heart is mine
To love a brother, to love another
To have a friend you can count on forever
How can you tell him his lovin' is mine
She's got the lovin' that gives me peace of mind
I'm still waitin' for her to see the light
Search my soul
T'find out wrong from right
All I know
I'm alone tonight
I know I outta try to leave it
I know I should
But my heart needs to keep her
I got to tell her
I can't wait no more

"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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/
