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.
Mmm-mm, oh-oh
Oh-oh, Lil Boat
(Javar said, "Pick up that bag", right?)
She don't think she worth it
In the mirror, she don't think she perfect
Late night on the net, she be surfin'
Looking for a surgery to purchase
Mmm, shit I think you fine, though
If that's what you wanna do, it's fine, though
You gon' be a 10 either way
I wouldn't have you any other way
Ooh, you sophisticated, educated
Held up for herself, it's perpetuated
But she look in the mirror and get devastated, why?
She said I won't understand 'cause I am a man
Baby, that's alright, let's take a trip out to the sand
I don't give a fuck if your titties don't stand
I won't give a fuck if your lips kinda thin
You is still a 10
Let me come in
Get rid of your friends
Let me come in tonight
Let me come in the night
Let me phone in the night
Oh woah
She don't think she worth it
In the mirror, she don't think she perfect (She is)
Late night on the net, she be surfin' (She be searchin')
Looking for a surgery to purchase (Woah-oh)
Mmm, shit I think you fine, though (So fine)
If that's what you want to do, it's fine, though (All mine)
You gon' be a 10 either way (A 10)
I wouldn't have you any other way
True story, that's my little baby
New Mercedes, go pick up your ladies
She a city girl, she be talkin' crazy
She know it's Yachty's world, diamonds not fugazi (Not fugazi)
I love you for who you are
God don't mess up at all
Even when he make us with flaws
She don't think she worth it (La, la-la, la-la, la!)
In the mirror, she don't think she perfect (La, la-la, la-la, la!)
Late night on the net, she be surfing (La, la, la, la-la, la!)
Looking for a surgery to purchase (La, la, la, la, la-la, la!)
Mmm, shit I think you fine, though (La, la, la, la-la, la!)
If that's what you want to do, it's fine, though (La, la-la, la-la, la!)
You gon' be a 10 either way (La, la-la, la-la, la!)
I wouldn't have you any other way
La, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la, la-la, la

Fast Car

"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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
