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.
Oh
Got my good side at the ready
If the other one is on the mend
Feel it in my bones when you break my back
Break it just to watch me bend
Anyway, for once you admit it
No matter what your good book says
Never lookin' back 'cause I ain't no saint
Just another teenage head
You gotta, wait for the feeling and you wait for the feeling
And you wait, and you shiver and you shake
Crawlin' back and forth from the black and white
Over and over again
Over and over and over again
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line for you
Maybe if you swear you'll save me
Maybe save myself instead
Swear across my heart and I hope to die
Maybe we could just play dead
Runnin' out of time but I'm ready
Run out when I run this red
See you on the chase, I will track you down
Even though you're miles ahead
You gotta, wait for the feeling and you wait for the feeling
And you wait, and you shiver and you shake
Crawlin' back and forth from the black and white
Over and over again
Over and over and over again
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line for you
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line for you
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line for you
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line, walkin' a line
Ain't no turning back, no there ain't no turning back
No there ain't no turning back, no there ain't no turning back
Ain't no turning back, 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line for you
Got my good side at the ready

Feel it in my bones when you break my back
Break it just to watch me bend
Anyway, for once you admit it

No there ain't no turning back, no there ain't no turning back
Ain't no turning back, 'cause I'm walkin' a line
Walkin' a line for you

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Ive got this on the DVD that came with One By One, so I dont listen to it much. Its an ok song, nothing special.
Its quite a heavy, powerful song imo. Fun to play. :D
the fact that Grohl tipped his hat to Cash makes me very, very happy.
barabbas, why do you think this song would have anything to do with Cash's "Walk the Line"? It basically has a similar meaning, but that's about it. This song is very different from "Walk the Line". And, it's freaking awesome. Should've been a single, instead is just a bonus track.
IT WAS A TRIBUTE TO KURT
