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.
Die Eier von Satan
Eine halbe Tasse Staubzucker
Ein viertel Teelöffel Salz
Eine Messerspitze türkisches Haschisch
Ein halbes Pfund Butter
Ein Teelöffel Vanillezucker
Ein halbes Pfund Mehl
Einhundertfünfzig Gramm gemahlene Nüsse
Ein wenig extra Staubzucker
Und keine Eier
In eine Schüssel geben
Butter einrühren
Gemahlene Nüsse zugeben
Und den Teig verkneten
Augenballgroße Stücke vom Teig formen
Im Staubzucker wälzen
Und sagt die Zauberwörter
„Simsalbim bambasala dusaladim“
Auf ein gefettetes Backblech legen
Und bei zweihundert Grad für fünfzehn Minuten backen
Und keine Eier
Bei zweihundert Grad fünfzehn Minuten backen
Und keine Eier

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

@[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.
It is a recipe in german, using references to "the eggs (or balls) of satan".
To me, it is a test. Imagine someone listening to this song for the first time, and thinking "ohh these guys sing about satan and stuff in german, probably leading some nazi revolution" and they are immediately turned off, and label tool as "satan worshipping nazis" or something. The said person would have failed the test. This song to me, tests a persons ability to thnk for themselves, and to think without blindly judging something.
I do imagine the point of this song is about thinking for yourself. But honestly (and sadly) I don't doubt that a good number of Tool kids are pretty fond of this song without knowing the meanings. BECAUSE dude mentions Satan. And I say kids, because honestly if you're a grown fucking adult and say you like a song, without knowing what it's saying or even talking about, you suck some pretty sweaty nuts.<br /> <br /> I never paid much attention to Marilyn Manson, but my boyfriend talks about him at length on occasion. I imagine, when Manson hated his fans like he fucking should have, the type of attitude you're talking about is what he was singing about in certain songs.
Well said both of you. I couldn't agree more.

If what you say is true, in that eggs are a German eupheism for balls, the songs is designed, in addition to the obvious part, to say Satan has no balls.
@Makoe <br /> I agree with your interpretation except for the focus being on the band. They usually have a larger philosophical picture in mind. As such, I see it as a larger statement of not judging a book by its cover and digging deeper before you apply judgement. Use your analytical skills not just an unthinking emotional snap judgement. Even in messages that sound bad, there could be something more there. Look deeper. <br /> <br /> Again, I think we agree on the general concept. I just think the focus isn’t intended for the band itself. Think wider. They are not so self centered to care so much about your perception of themselves. Rather, they want to be your Tool to rethink the ways you process the larger world.
