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.
If y'all don't like it, just don't buy it
Like you need to be told
My whole sound sucks the stereo
Like you care about us
You want your money back? yo - listen up
No fucking refunds
I'm thinking I shot my load
(Now I ain't get the rapping and sometimes I forget to laugh motherfucker)
All the way to the bank
I just bought my car stereo
Use your money for crack
I'm still going broke and I say all this is nothing go down to the record store
Buy all my records
I'm ready for love
[Chorus:]
I'm still not that cool
I'm just not that great
To suckers found out a little too late
You thought that this shit
Would right fucking rock
But your friends were right
Cause I fucking suck
You don't like it so don't buy it
Like you need to be told
My whole sound sucks the stereo
Like you care about us
You want your money back? yo - listen up
No fucking refunds
I'm ready for love
[Chorus]
I'm not that cool
I'm just not that great
To suckers found out a little too late
You thought it'd be good
You thought it might rock
But your friends were right
I suck big cock
Like you need to be told
My whole sound sucks the stereo
Like you care about us
You want your money back? yo - listen up
No fucking refunds
I'm thinking I shot my load
(Now I ain't get the rapping and sometimes I forget to laugh motherfucker)
All the way to the bank
I just bought my car stereo
Use your money for crack
I'm still going broke and I say all this is nothing go down to the record store
Buy all my records
I'm ready for love
[Chorus:]
I'm still not that cool
I'm just not that great
To suckers found out a little too late
You thought that this shit
Would right fucking rock
But your friends were right
Cause I fucking suck
You don't like it so don't buy it
Like you need to be told
My whole sound sucks the stereo
Like you care about us
You want your money back? yo - listen up
No fucking refunds
I'm ready for love
[Chorus]
I'm not that cool
I'm just not that great
To suckers found out a little too late
You thought it'd be good
You thought it might rock
But your friends were right
I suck big cock

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
