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.
Katherine, kiss me
Slip your little lips
Will split me
Split me away
Your eye won't hit me
Yes, I love you, I mean it
I'd love to get to know you
Sometimes I say the stupid things I think
I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
And do you ever wonder
How the boy feels
Katherine, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly
Your leather jacket lies
In sticky pools of Cider Blackberry
You glance and ricochet
From every alpha male behind me
Eyes
Like marbles on the washing machine
I wonder
How the boy feels
Katherine , kiss me
In the alleyway
By,
Jacket in the sodium light
Yes, I love you, I mean I
Need to love
And though your opened eyes stay bored
Upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight
I don't mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels
Slip your little lips
Will split me
Split me away
Your eye won't hit me
Yes, I love you, I mean it
I'd love to get to know you
Sometimes I say the stupid things I think
I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
And do you ever wonder
How the boy feels
Katherine, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly
Your leather jacket lies
In sticky pools of Cider Blackberry
You glance and ricochet
From every alpha male behind me
Eyes
Like marbles on the washing machine
I wonder
How the boy feels
Katherine , kiss me
In the alleyway
By,
Jacket in the sodium light
Yes, I love you, I mean I
Need to love
And though your opened eyes stay bored
Upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight
I don't mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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” 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, I love you I mean I need to love"
That's both songs condensed into two lines. Franz Ferdinand are saying that the need for love is greater than the act of love, so it becomes trivial, no one thinks about the other person involved.
At least that's what I get from the songs.
This is my favourite song on the album, well its competeing with Ulysses and Lucid Dreams but it is definatly a great song. <br /> <br /> It's not that hard to under stand this song as a guy and actually this song 100% related to a part of my life in this past october. I got a new job and slowly fell in love with this girl named Katherine and this song is a 100% showing of how i felt. I felt like a love sick fool that wanted to tell her but just couldn't quite do it. She was older and the relationship to her was that i was just another guy. I never really took the relationship farther then what it was which bummed me out. But i never really did think about how she felt about dating a younger guy. We now have a mutual relationship with nothing special. But when i got this album and heard this song i played it for her and told her that this song was how i felt when i was with her at the start, and i swear she had a tear in her eye.( bin a long time since relationship ended, like 5 months since) <br /> <br /> This is a great song that was very well written in the perspective of the nice guy.
