High life
I wanna hold them like they do in Texas please
Fold them, let them hit me, raise it, baby stay with me
Luck and intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after she's been hooked I'll play the one that's on her heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface
I wanna roll with her, a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love, if it's not rough it isn't fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface
Fold them, let them hit me, raise it, baby stay with me
Luck and intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after she's been hooked I'll play the one that's on her heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface
I wanna roll with her, a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love, if it's not rough it isn't fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get her hot, show her what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Can't read my, can't read my
No you can't read my poker face
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface
Po-po-po-po-pokerface, po-po-pokerface

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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman

"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.
uh, no lmao
it's actually a really good cover. youtube.com/watch
it's actually not.
I actually like it... I couldn't believe they would cover this song, but I actually like it. I'm not a fan of the original though
For a Lady Gaga remake, its actually quite awesome o.o
