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.
One o one point one fahrenheit
To some it's a fever to her it's just right
I can't hold her and it's bringing me down
Her blood runs hot but her heart beats cold
She's a Devil with a Angels face I've been told
I think I'll press my luck next time around
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy?
I Don't give a damn what other people say!
A flare for the strange and a temper like a whip
A soft-hand clutched riding crop grip
Smell of latex rubber drives me insane
Beat Him once then send him on his way
There's no room in your life for anyone to stay
Engrave your moniker in the wells of pain!
There's nothing I wouldn't do to prove
To make these words I promised true
I'd rather live my life alone than without you
You know I'd rather die, then won't fuck this up
Wouldn't get another try
Got one chance
There's nothing I wouldn't do
You'll be my master I'll be your servant
On my knees I beg to be abused
You can take the skin right off my back
With a riding crop or a leather strap
I'd take it all... Just to be with you!
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy
Your my Goddess and I'm wanting you
To some it's a fever to her it's just right
I can't hold her and it's bringing me down
Her blood runs hot but her heart beats cold
She's a Devil with a Angels face I've been told
I think I'll press my luck next time around
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy?
I Don't give a damn what other people say!
A flare for the strange and a temper like a whip
A soft-hand clutched riding crop grip
Smell of latex rubber drives me insane
Beat Him once then send him on his way
There's no room in your life for anyone to stay
Engrave your moniker in the wells of pain!
There's nothing I wouldn't do to prove
To make these words I promised true
I'd rather live my life alone than without you
You know I'd rather die, then won't fuck this up
Wouldn't get another try
Got one chance
There's nothing I wouldn't do
You'll be my master I'll be your servant
On my knees I beg to be abused
You can take the skin right off my back
With a riding crop or a leather strap
I'd take it all... Just to be with you!
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy
Your my Goddess and I'm wanting you

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.
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
