its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Beyond the river, over the sea,
Oh Somewhere past last farewell That ever will be
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou
Out in the blue now, just waiting to feed,
Oh A little breath of selflessness Adrift in all the greed, mmm
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you ...
Long before the mountains cry for Adam and Eve, oh
All the world we knew was fire, and still was the seed
Ah, just the seed Oh, you can hear it now,
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou

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.

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?

"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.
Holiday

@[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.
The original seed of love still blossoms in spite of human nature that misses the mark. Can you find it? Can you hear it calling you?
@Toronodo I want to know who "Jimmy " is that he calls out to at the end. Gotta be Mr.Page. By the next year they were doing their No Quarter album and tour.
