When I Was A Young Gnome
A Pair Of Cut Purses Cornered Me Behind The Inn

Oh, I'm Only A 5th Grader
Oh God, Horus Get Back

With Charisma Low, I Reached Into My Bag Of Holding
It Was Time, It Was My Turn

A Feather, A Lump Of Coal, And A Stick (4x)
A Feather, A Lump Of Coal, And A

Thought I Was Not Large, Even For A Gnome
I Was Confident I Could Ward Off The Attacker

Oh, He's Only A Dog
Oh God, Let Go Of Him

With My Dog Hours In The Clutches Of Murderous Friends
I Had To Act Quickly So I Began

A Feather, A Lump Of Coal, And A Stick (4x)
A Feather, A Lump Of Coal, And A, And A

A Feather, A Lump Of Coal, And A Stick (4x)
A Feather, A Lump Of Coal, And A

    Every song that Nuclear Rabbit write is a snippet of a story/stories that the band members created. Most people have no clue on the details of these stories (or movies is probably a better word for them). The guys will tell you the details if you meet them, but it's still unlikely you'll understand them.

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.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
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.

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
