Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
She'd burst
Dropped off
Picked the fruit
Realise
I'm naked
I'm naked, too
So cover my body
Dress it fine
Hide my linen and lace
Been sewing ever since
Since time began
More than the hills
More than the trees
More than the mountains, you
More than I can see
In front of me
More than the mountains, you
So fruit flower myself inside out
I'm happy and bleeding for you
Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm tired and I'm bleeding for you
This fruit was bruised
Dropped off and blue
Out of season, happy I'm bleeding
Long overdue
Too early and it's late, too
Too early and it's late, too
Mind and body
I would and I would not do
Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm happy and bleeding for you
Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm tired and I'm bleeding for you
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)
Fig fruit flower myself inside out for you (happy I'm bleeding)

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Fast Car
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

@[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.
guys, this whole album is about the bible. this is obviously about adam & eve (and how women are "supposed" to feel toward men). she even talks about figs. she has to sew and sew because they have to wear clothes to cover their shame, etc. "pick the fruit, realize i'm naked." how could that not be about adam & eve?
