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.
Sick inside I'm gonna run all night
Second sight, I'm gonna run all night
Under fire lights, I'm wearing neon stripes
Under fire lights, I'm wearing neon stripes
Tokyo, antidote, chaperone Conversational distemper
International satire
Conversation error
International satire
Shatter! (x2)
Jedi Knight, I'm gonna run all night
I got a Jedi Knight, I'm gonna run all night
Under fire lights, I'm wearing neon stripes
Under fire lights, I'm wearing neon stripes
Slant your head at four, five degrees and rising (x2)
Light on skin fashion, designs for the future (x2)
Ice cream pavements in the sunshine
Blind men walking into failure
Moonlit questions on the beachside
Where foreign eyes dare to play
Monday to Thursday's rhyme like
Sidewinding missiles in the shade of the past
I got a tattoo for the memory
I can't remember to forget.
Shout!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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."
This song is observations during an ecstacy trip (i got a jedi knight, i'm gunna run all night). a jedi knight is most definately a print on a tab. i have to say it also references Pearl Harbor and possibly the US retailition with the a-bomb "ice cream pavements in the sunshine" peaceful hawaii in the sunshine "blind men walking into failure" the military was not expecting the attack "Moonlit questions on the beachside, where foreign eyes dare to play" The military in Hawaii felt that an attack was imminent, they only "question"ed when. foreign eyes are definately Japan spies "Monday to Thurday's rhyme like sidewinding missiles in the shade of the past" The attack on Pearl Harbor was on Sunday meaning he is referencing the days after the attack in which the US enters the war and retailiate in the "shade of the past"
