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.
It's so damn fine to see you once again
It's been so long and I sure could use a friend
My baby left me high and dry last evening
And all I can do is try and stop the bleeding
I got no money and feel so alone and I ain't got much to say
I should be headed home right now but I think I'd rather stay
So play one more song, turn up the radio
And play one more song 'cause I'm not ready to go, oh no
She was a hot little hooker and I wonder where she gone
Had a smile like summer and her legs were firm and long
She dressed to kill and she loved to rock 'n' roll
She trashed my name and then she stole my soul
She said forever is what we'd be, but that ain't what went down
So please won't you have a friend in me and pour me another round
And play one more song
Some old time rock 'n' roll
Yeah play one more song
But don't play nothing slow
I don't wanna hear them old sad songs
'Cause that'd just make me cry
I just wanna drink and dance all night
And let the music be my guide yeah
I'm gonna call the band up and head out on the road
'Cause I got music deep inside my soul
I'm gonna sing from the heart and try to spark some change
'Cause good time music helps to ease the pain
And when the lights go down and the crowd gets loud,
I'm gonna let her go
And if it feels right, I'll stay all night
If you're not ready to go, if no one's ready to go
I'll play one more song, some back beat blue-eyed soul
I'll play one more song, some Alabama Muscle Shoals
I'll play one more song 'cause I'm not ready to go
I'll play one more song
And ease my troubled soul
I don't really care who's wrong or right
But I don't wanna be alone tonight
So play one more song
Play one more song
Play one more song
Play one more song
Baby now, one more song
Sing it now, one more song
Play one more song
It's been so long and I sure could use a friend
My baby left me high and dry last evening
And all I can do is try and stop the bleeding
I got no money and feel so alone and I ain't got much to say
I should be headed home right now but I think I'd rather stay
So play one more song, turn up the radio
And play one more song 'cause I'm not ready to go, oh no
She was a hot little hooker and I wonder where she gone
Had a smile like summer and her legs were firm and long
She dressed to kill and she loved to rock 'n' roll
She trashed my name and then she stole my soul
She said forever is what we'd be, but that ain't what went down
So please won't you have a friend in me and pour me another round
And play one more song
Some old time rock 'n' roll
Yeah play one more song
But don't play nothing slow
I don't wanna hear them old sad songs
'Cause that'd just make me cry
I just wanna drink and dance all night

So play one more song
Play one more song
Play one more song
Play one more song
Baby now, one more song
Sing it now, one more song
Play one more song

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
