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.
Every day has a beginning and ending,
Just like every life has a start and finish
July is gone like the gasoline
It took to make the circle again.
Florida to Florida, by the way of America
Cocaine and soda, playing Tetris in our underwear
We take turns reading letters, I read the haiku
And you move your nails across my legs.
In your arms, I don't know who I am
Taking all I know about nihilism
And trying to build it into a life
With your thought in mind.
I walk the streets down to the shore
And I sink into the Pacific
This is evrything up to now ending
It was nice to believe for a while.
Just like every life has a start and finish
July is gone like the gasoline
It took to make the circle again.
Florida to Florida, by the way of America
Cocaine and soda, playing Tetris in our underwear
We take turns reading letters, I read the haiku
And you move your nails across my legs.
In your arms, I don't know who I am
Taking all I know about nihilism
And trying to build it into a life
With your thought in mind.
I walk the streets down to the shore
And I sink into the Pacific
This is evrything up to now ending
It was nice to believe for a while.

Corpse I Fell In Love With

Gadjits, The
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.

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.
