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 think about the clever lines
to spill to you baby
the time it's gonna take
for me and you to get out of here
lead you to my ride
and back to my house
so we can do
what we want to do
all that i want
all that i need
for you to give me
just one night to please you
girl you will be
girl you will be the one
the one i want to leave tonight with baby
you can be my bad girl
tell me what i have to do tonight
for you to ba a bad girl baby
for you to be a bad firl baby
(2x)
don't want to pressure you
and make you to think i'm wrong baby
just want to trun you on to something
that you're looking like
you will see exactly why you
dressed up looking like that for me baby
all flyed up for me
all that i want
all that i need
for you to give me
just one night to please you
girl you will be
girl you will be the one
the one i want to leave tonight with baby
you can be my bad girl
tell me what i have to do tonight
for you to be a bad girl baby
(repeat out)
to spill to you baby
the time it's gonna take
for me and you to get out of here
lead you to my ride
and back to my house
so we can do
what we want to do
all that i want
all that i need
for you to give me
just one night to please you
girl you will be
girl you will be the one
the one i want to leave tonight with baby
you can be my bad girl
tell me what i have to do tonight
for you to ba a bad girl baby
for you to be a bad firl baby
(2x)
don't want to pressure you
and make you to think i'm wrong baby
just want to trun you on to something
that you're looking like
you will see exactly why you
dressed up looking like that for me baby
all flyed up for me
all that i want
all that i need
for you to give me
just one night to please you
girl you will be
girl you will be the one
the one i want to leave tonight with baby
you can be my bad girl
tell me what i have to do tonight
for you to be a bad girl baby

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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.
Gentle Hour

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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
