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's dressed to kill in a dress he bought her
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
She's come to dance a dance or two
And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through
She found out the hard way about him
She's out to find out how she'll do without him
Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding
By the way she's drinking his memory's drowin'
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now
She walks by and every head turns
You can see how hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
When it's too late and that's too bad
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now
Oh, she's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now, oh
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
She's come to dance a dance or two
And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through
She found out the hard way about him
She's out to find out how she'll do without him
Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding
By the way she's drinking his memory's drowin'
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now
She walks by and every head turns
You can see how hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
When it's too late and that's too bad
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now
Oh, she's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now, oh
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
