the clock is down
and i am losing one day at a time
well who'd have thought
our hands would stop right here

and maybe i could just forget you
for just a little while
cause everything you said
is coming back in time

well maybe i
should say goodbye

cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside

the clock is down
and i am losing
one day at a time
i still remember the first time you were here
and everytime i see your picture
i thank god for your smile
cause everything you said
is keeping me in line

well maybe i
should say goodbye

cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside

last signs will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em (times or signs...i can't tell)
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em

well maybe i
should say goodbye

cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside

yeah, i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside

i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside

yeah, i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside

Jesse with the long hair....
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
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.

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.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
