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.
Uh huh huh
Oh yeah
Work, work
Somebody told me
"Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees"
I guess I must have loved you
Because I said you were the perfect girl for me

And everything you want and everything you see

Well, show me you can take you've got some giving to do
And now you tell me that you're having my baby

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Gentle Hour

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Yes it is unfortunate that some ladies are shallow and materialistic. :| They make the ones of us who are neither look bad. Kinda like how jerks ruin it for the nice guys-wait there's no such thing as a nice guy. But we good girls do exist. ;)
In this area I would calculate that men are more often the ones taking the high road. Proof? Look at the personal ads writ by the women in C/List. Nearly ALL of them list financial concerns as the main prerequisite for being with them.<br /> <br /> Think HARD about this fact for a while. Think long and hard about what this preponderance of cold hearted, money grubbing bbitches does for the families they inevitably form.<br /> <br /> Divorce, materialism and broken homes (with subsequent and predictable cases of children joining gangs, breaking laws and entering career crime/prison etc)<br /> <br /> THAT is the legacy of feminism and materialism. Whores that the women of the 21st century have become. Really! That's what they are. Most of them anywaze. Except for my fine girlfriend now. She's honest, hardworking and the most family oriented person I've ever known.<br /> <br /> However all the rest I''ve met the past 60 years of my life have been hoes. My dates with them much more resembling credit checking affairs. Like a loan application with follow up questionaire. That and a job interview combined.<br /> <br /> And no one calls these hoes on their whoring ways. Money does not make good families.
Do you and your girlfriend have matching skirts too? You know the definition of crazy right? Also I might add,that you should think long and hard about being 60 years old and still only have your lady as just a "girlfriend". ;) I'm sorry love has sucked for you. But you're not alone in that. Keep on keepin' on. :)
