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.
Hey you, you say you want to change the world
It's alright, with me there's no regret
It's my turn, the circle game has brought me here
And I won't let down 'til every song is set
You realize now
You should have tried now, ooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
Hey you, you say the race is much too fast
It's okay, with me I'm keeping pace
It's my game, the music is inside my head
For every one on top there's one who can't replace
You realize now
You should have tried now, ooh,ooh
The music's gone now, you'll find out
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
You realize now, ooh
You should have tried now, ooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, hey you, sha-la-la-la
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, hey you, hey you, hey you (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, ba-ba-ba-baby it's true, babe (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, no time, no time left, no time (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, don't let me down, don't let me down (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, you gotta learn to take it easy, baby (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, music's over, it's over (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, too late, too late (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, I should have realized it a lot sooner than this (whoo)
Sha-la-la-la, hey you
It's alright, with me there's no regret
It's my turn, the circle game has brought me here
And I won't let down 'til every song is set
You realize now
You should have tried now, ooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Hey you, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
Whoo, sha-la-la-la
Hey you, you say the race is much too fast

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.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
The song is Randy's response to Burton Cumming's jabs at Randy after the latter left the Guess Who. Randy once said of the song "I deserved to gloat a little after all the mud Burton slung at me".
