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 run I jump I fly
Oh me oh you oh we oh mine
Your love it takes me high,
So real, so true, I can't lie
Oh boy you got me going crazy, baby
I think I want to have your baby
Stop playing bahm bahm
Can't eat, can't sleep,
Can't breathe,
When you come around make me get weak in the knees
Boy stay oh please don't leave
I need you by my side and I'm begging you please
I think your loving is amazing, bahm bahm
Oh boy you're hot you're really blazing
When you grind up on me,
Love up on me, touch up on me
Do it once again,
Grind up on me,
Love up on me, touch up on me
Do it once again, bahm
Know in your heart I try to do everything you want,
Do everything you like, bahm
I need you to be mine,
If I can't you I think I'm gonna cry, bahm
You never take me not one warning,
Now boy your lovin' is a problem
Call the police
Call nine one one I'm hooked,
I'm shook, I've fallen and can't get up, bahm
Your lips, your body,
Your touch, got me in a trance I can't get enough, bahm
You're too much for me and I can't take it, bahm bahm
Oh boy, you got my body shaking
When you grind up on me,
Love up on me, touch up on me
Do it once again,
Grind up on me,
Love up on me, touch up on me
Do it once again, bahm

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
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.
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
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
