He'd already asked for my number
When will he call?, I wonder
I'd give it away on a Friday
I haven't heard a friggin' now it's Wednesday
I don't know what he's thinking,
He can leave me alone and I'll be waiting
I don't think so
There's other fish in the sea
Who would love to swim with me

You're not the only one
Out there for me,
And I know (and I know),
You're not the only one
Who's gonna be
For me (for me)

There's other fishes in the sea
There's other fishes in the sea

You finally called and I'm not home
Don't even bother at all
Can't remember what he looks like
It's been 14 days, that's not my type
I know they're not all like that
There's gotta be some that don't think they're all that
Yes I know so,
There's other fish in the sea
Who would love to swim with me

You're not the only one
Out there for me,
And I know (and I know),
You're not the only one
Who's gonna be
For me (for me)

There's other fishes in the sea
There's other fishes in the sea (in the sea)
There's other fishes in the sea
There's other fishes in the sea (fishes in the sea)

You're not the only one
Out there for me,
And I know (and I know),
You're not the only one
Who's gonna be (be)
For me (for me)

You're not the only one
(There's other fishes in the sea)
You're not the only one
(There's other fishes in the sea)
You're not the only one
(There's other fishes in the sea)
You're not the only one
(There's other fishes in the sea)

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
