It hurts where you rule me
Girl you've to only
Whisper to me,
"In this whole world
The beat in my heart is
Your feet when you're walking"
But he's always waiting
So we never argue
No never, do we?
'Cause maybe you want him
Like you want me
Only truly

I'll make it easy
Either you want him
Or you want me
Or leave me, believe me
Holly and Roger
Markus and Julie
It's love in the movies
Seeing what you see
Quiet and ruly
But it hurts where you rule me
And the whole world
Can see through me

And you want him
And you want him
And you want him
And you want him

    this song has a great sound. it reminds me of 'fool around'. it seems like its about that common situation where a guy likes a girl enough to be strung along by her as she goes for other guys.

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.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
