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.
Yeah yeah yeah
Julie was a long way from home
She can make alone look pretty
Her attitude made a part of her landscape
Riding her bike through alphabet city
She likes to party in the backseat, under the bridge on the Brooklyn side
Smoking cigarettes in the afterglow, taking bets till the sun won't rise
She said "what good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
She can lick her lips and smile and make you want to believe
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction, taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl
(Right now right now ooh ooh ooh)
Julie likes to shop lift in stores
Right alongside the rich and famous
Get in elevators, press emergency stop
And make love on the floor until the camera made us
And no woman in the world ever made me feel like my heart's on fire
When she walked, I followed, when she laughed, I cried,
"What good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
And I was wrapped around her finger, and I began to believe
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction, taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world (crazy world)
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl
Tell me what you want from me
I've got everything you need
It's getting hard for me to breathe
Let me be your guarantee
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game (a game)
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day (by day)
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl (poster girl)
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game (just a game)
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world (crazy world)
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl
Right now, right now
Right now, oh oh oh
Poster girl
Poster girl
Come on, come on
Julie was a long way from home
She can make alone look pretty
Her attitude made a part of her landscape
Riding her bike through alphabet city
She likes to party in the backseat, under the bridge on the Brooklyn side
Smoking cigarettes in the afterglow, taking bets till the sun won't rise
She said "what good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
She can lick her lips and smile and make you want to believe
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction, taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl
(Right now right now ooh ooh ooh)

And I was wrapped around her finger, and I began to believe
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction, taking you day by day

That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day

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.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.
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.
I think a poster girl for something is someone who is the epitome of the thing. Like Oprah Winfrey would be the talk show poster woman since if there was a poster advertising talk shows, she would be on it. So Julie is a 'right now' poster girl. She's a girl who only lives for the present moment. She doesn't think of the consequences, she doesn't believe in waiting for the tomorrow that may not come, the sun that may not rise. She believes 'nothing's forever'. So she takes what she has and acts right now. She'll shoplift and smoke and party because they feel good right now and she doesn't worry about anything that will happen as a result of that. But since she believes the future is not important since there is no guarantee, she won't allow herself to get attached to the speaker who has fallen for her. He wants her to slow down and maybe commit to him and he's ready to give her everything. But she won't settle down because she doesn't believe that they have a future since she only lives for the here and now.
