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.
I see that you mean it
I see that you are serious
Have some faith in me
Like there used to be
Come Sunday I'll be leaving (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x2)
Time
Time was that you would understand
No matter what you would believe in
That was years ago
Time's a thief you know
I never meant to be deceiving you
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x4)
Where's the tenderness
Where's that girl I miss
Where's the sweetness that would send me flying
Bring her back to me
A grain of apathy
This life is yours
There's no denying (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x12)
I see that you are serious
Have some faith in me
Like there used to be
Come Sunday I'll be leaving (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x2)
Time
Time was that you would understand
No matter what you would believe in
That was years ago
Time's a thief you know
I never meant to be deceiving you
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x4)
Where's the tenderness
Where's that girl I miss
Where's the sweetness that would send me flying
Bring her back to me
A grain of apathy
This life is yours
There's no denying (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x12)

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.

"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.
