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.
A week a week you've been sleeping for a week
Yeah but does he know does he know does he know
Don't worry cause I'm sure he'll get a copy
Of the list of times I saved your life
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention baby!?
A week a week you've been asleep for a few days now
And do ya do ya know do ya know do ya know that I've been here everyday
Watching you, what you do, scrap the plan,
Get my senses, grab my bag and climb out the window
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention sweetie!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention asshole!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Yeah I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Ohh
Yeah but does he know does he know does he know
Don't worry cause I'm sure he'll get a copy
Of the list of times I saved your life
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention baby!?
A week a week you've been asleep for a few days now
And do ya do ya know do ya know do ya know that I've been here everyday
Watching you, what you do, scrap the plan,
Get my senses, grab my bag and climb out the window
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention sweetie!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention asshole!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Yeah I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Ohh

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?

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.
My girlfriend that I dated for three years… this is a long story but I’ll make it short and leave out some of the shit that I probably shouldn’t say… She went to San Francisco to visit her father (she lived in Manhattan), and while she was there Nada Surf was playing and that was like our band, you know. We both love them a lot. So she went to see our band play, and she didn’t want to go alone, so one of my friends from San Francisco was around and I told her to go with him and that he’ll show you a good time, and I called him up and asked if he could show her a good time. So he showed her a good time. She cheated on me after three years at a Nada Surf show, which was our band, which is really fucked up. When I found that out, she flew back to New York, I woke up. I didn’t sleep when I found out, I found out over the phone, and I went as soon as it was light out on a train from Long Island into the city. I planned on… I didn’t know what I planned on doing, I was fucking crazy though. I lost it. I’m a pretty mellow guy, and I lost it. I lost it, and went completely crazy for about six months. Her dad called me because I was pretty much trying to beat down her door. I obviously wouldn’t touch a hair on a woman’s head ever, but I didn’t know what I was going to do. I think I was just going to yell or something. I called her and I was like “I’m outside, you need to talk to me” because she didn’t even tell me. I got a text message saying “I’m so sorry”, and I’m like what is this? And then he calls me and tells me. So I actually didn’t get a restraining order, but her dad called and said he was going to get a restraining order and I said I’m not doing anything wrong. I obliviously wanted to just talk to her and hear it from her. Three years, you owe me that much. So I called it “My Second Restraining Order” because it almost was. I had a restraining order when I was 19 for violence.
Don't stop rockin' Vinnie. IATA for life
