its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
Like the roads before
And it always leads me here
Leads me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Have left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Ah let me know the way
'Cause many times I have been alone
And many time I've cried
And any way you never know
What many times I tried
Still they lead me back
[Chorus:]
To that long winding road
You left me standing here dear
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Take me to your door
[Chorus:]
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
Like the roads before
And it always leads me here
Leads me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Have left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Ah let me know the way
'Cause many times I have been alone
And many time I've cried
And any way you never know
What many times I tried
Still they lead me back
[Chorus:]
To that long winding road
You left me standing here dear
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Take me to your door
[Chorus:]

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.
