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.
Lookin' out in the crowd I see a lot of hotties,
Tell me which of you will be my mommy?
Don't be shy, come over put it on me,
Park it up and pass it all around me
We got drinks, anything, and food out for the starving,
Thank you all for coming to my party.
Don't be shy mix it up come and lay it on me
Oh, oh, oh, oooh!
Pick up the phone to solid gold,
Making the hits we get the story told.
We all got a heavy load,
But it won't get us down, no no no no.
Everybody got a Dj night,
Rocking the chance for all their friends to climb,
When it comes to closing time,
Who you gonna crush with a drunken dial?
Hey! What?
Who got a DUI out there?
Yeah.
I know you all do 'cause',
That's dialling under the influence!
When you come home at night,
And you had a little too much to drink,
This is one thing,
We all guilty!
Sittin' alone in my room at home,
Girl come on pick up the phone,
Keep the spot next to ya warm,
I know I got my own ringtone.
I made 'bout a million DUI's,
That's how I always win the prize.
All the times I get to night,
There's a hot little baby by my side.
D! Is the dial your fingers dance.
Give it to me!
You! Under the spell of romance,
Can you let me get
I! Is the dangerous influence,
I feel it!
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
I'm the lonely man,
With a roaming climb.
I'm resisting the urge and turning on the telly,
Baby don't you have something to tell me?
It's 4 AM my brain has turned to jelly,
Come on baby hope you got the semi,
How long is this dong girl this cannot be healthy,
I'm so wet I have to get my wellies,
Whenever you're near you never get this filthy,
It's because I'm greeting and your wealthy.
Tip on the cotton candy bus,
I win a soft tiger just for us.
These are the broken promices,
That I won't recall when the sun comes up.
Everybody got a Dj night,
Rocking the chance for all their friends to climb,
When it comes to closing time,
Who you gonna crush with a drunken dial?
I see it!
Tell me which of you will be my mommy?
Don't be shy, come over put it on me,
Park it up and pass it all around me
We got drinks, anything, and food out for the starving,
Thank you all for coming to my party.
Don't be shy mix it up come and lay it on me
Oh, oh, oh, oooh!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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.

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
