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.
Hey babe, how's your day been?
No, you first
Oh, what? The delay's quite bad
Yeah, sorry
Where are you? I can't really hear you
A taxi distracted, anyway you, you were saying?
Wait, uh, now they're waving me over
Can I call you back? Yeah, everything's fine
Why, am I, I don't know why
I probably just need sleep, it's been a busy week
Sorry, I've got to go
Sorry, okay bye
This is just so unlike us
Cut back to horizontalisms
If we could win just one small touch
Contact versus telemiscommunications
Plan foiled, the sirens pass by
Kids screaming
The longest public announcement
Reached check-in, finally got through
Running for a flight, shoes off
You're calling voicemail
In joke, group laughter
Closing scenes in a meeting
Angel, angel why didn't you tell me?
One second, someone needs directions
Can't you see I'm on the phone?
This is just so unlike us
Cut back to horizontalisms
If we could win just one small touch
Contact versus telemiscommunications
So unlike us (unlike us)
Cut back to horizontalisms
If we could win just one small touch
Contact versus telemiscommunications
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today
(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
(Whoa whoa) did I tell you, I loved you today?
No, you first
Oh, what? The delay's quite bad
Yeah, sorry
Where are you? I can't really hear you
A taxi distracted, anyway you, you were saying?
Wait, uh, now they're waving me over
Can I call you back? Yeah, everything's fine
Why, am I, I don't know why
I probably just need sleep, it's been a busy week
Sorry, I've got to go

(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
(Whoa whoa) did I tell you, I loved you today?

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
