Hey Casanova Lyrics
Hey Casanova
You don't look too good
But I know times are tough
You never found your paradise
Like you said you would
And it's all catching up
It may be that we will never change
You may never come to your promised land
And it's a grey morning
With all you have
Still you turn your back
You're given every chance
How can you ask more than that?
But still you have to ask
Hey tragic hero
Did you get passed by?
Well, what do all those heathens know...
Have a seat, a cup of wine
And have a good cry
And then it's time to go
'Cause you're living up to your own worst cases
You're looking for hope in some pretty strange places
And that's a grey mourning
With all you have
Still you turn your back
You're given every chance
How can you ask more than that?
But still you have to ask
I really need for you to ask
With all you have
Still you're turning
Turning
With all you have
Still you're turning
Turning
Hey you lone ranger,
Is it cold tonight
So far beneath the stars
Maybe the desert will do you good
You don't look too good
But I know times are tough
Like you said you would
And it's all catching up
You may never come to your promised land
And it's a grey morning
Still you turn your back
You're given every chance
How can you ask more than that?
But still you have to ask
Did you get passed by?
Well, what do all those heathens know...
And have a good cry
And then it's time to go
You're looking for hope in some pretty strange places
And that's a grey mourning
Still you turn your back
You're given every chance
How can you ask more than that?
But still you have to ask
I really need for you to ask
Still you're turning
Turning
With all you have
Still you're turning
Turning
Is it cold tonight
So far beneath the stars
Maybe the desert will do you good

I think the meaning of this song is obvious:. "And it's all catching up..." 'Casanova' is getting older and is still no closer to being happy in life.
Then there's this line: "you're living up to your own worst cases." It's a funny thing how people who are already in enough trouble and can't see a way out of it, often make life more difficult for themselves. Watch a few episodes of 'Cops' and you'll see what I mean.
It's almost like people without hope look in the worst places to at least feel like they're making progress - one way or the other. I've known people like this and as we all get older it's sad to watch their decline.
