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.

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
One time I had a dream in which I was browsing through this giant wharehouse store and, in the blankets sections, they had a bunch of different blankets for different Pixies songs
I remember having a conversation with someone else looking at blankets about how I like La La Love You because it is a joke song and that 'I like all the Pixies' joke songs
So I'm pretty sure it's a joke song! My subconsious says
I want a Pixies blanket!
I think this song is about.... How both males and females throw around the phrase "i love you" like its a baseball for a couple of reasons. It makes them feel like they are in love....a comforting feeling and reassurance and also the guilt free sex...because of course..its OK to have sex if you love them right?
I heard Frank Black say this song is defeinetly not about love and that anyone who thought it was is "misinterpreting it". I think it's about lust, and promising love to get to "first base second base third base" and "homerun".
It's about telling someone that you love them just so you can bang them. The whole song is fully of flirtiness and the home run part kinda spells it out.
this song is plain and simple. its a joke sarcastic love song in response the the sappy love pop songs being heard on the radio in the late 80's. i mean god their joking. i mean david lovering the drummer sings it for god sake. the intro with the i love you's being said should be ur first clue. great tune though and the pixies are the best band ever aside from the clash
Dude, read the above comments, and never dedicate this song to somebody ever again. Ever.
Although this song does make me wonder why they never let this guy sing anything else. Good God, does EVERYBODY in this band have an awesome voice?
he's obviously singing about his love for baseball
;]
Excellent! Even the shake your butt fits in- don't the batters do that (i'm Australian...)
does this onsg get stuck in anyone elses head easily?
This song is so obviously about trying to score. It's not "sweet". Who would think that?
i find it sounds like they are making fun of Morrissey/The Smiths. The voice, anyway...
