| Warren Zevon – Desperados Under The Eaves Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Not bad, but here is a little more insight from someone who grew up in Hollywood. As far as gypsy goes there are more than a few fortune tellers in Hollywood, but your thinking fits, about 12 steps. Under the Eaves refers to a shopping center on Sunset Bl. and Gower St. that is called Gower Gulch and is set up with a western theme with boardwalks and eaves! It is true that Gower St. ends at Melrose where the studio is, but it also goes past a very large cemetery (The Hollywood Forever Cemetery). This can also be a reference to heavenly powers you allude to in paragraph three, Warren was such a great talent and the line about how California sliding into the ocean but not until he pays his bill at the hotel reminds me of how the always had a clink in his armor or a tweaked wheel. I reference the title of one of his albums "Bad Luck in Dancing School) LOL. Lastly, he has that haunting lyric similar to "Dixie". "I wish I was in Dixie in Dixieland I'll make my stand, look away, look away." Perhaps Warren was going to make his stand there in Hollywood, look away, look away. |
