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.
Bang, where we going, what we doing this night
I feel drunk already, maybe drink got spiked
But more like the other like that I'm just a lightweight
But I don't care, man, I been drunk forever I sedated
Hatred, I sedated, pages, I sedated
Worthwhile cages, stages, and all of my rage
This is a good time to start dancing to this song man
The good one, DJ, play that record of mine
So where be joey, get us a drink of dimple whiskey
Look at the lady she be shady but we maybe
What you doing where you going to their after?
She said get the fuck out man you seem to be so plastered
We been all the night kicking and staring at girls alike
It's all good man what goes on?
Drink your can, walkin' it drunk down the strand
And talk about how we missed the whole club queue
Who the fuck are you?
It's heavy, it's on my mind
You just says you feel just fine
Rackin and stackin them lines
I say, calm down dearest
It's heavy, it's on my mind
You says you feel just fine
Rackin' and stackin' your lines
I say, calm down dearest
I remember shootin' shit down down the old alleyways
Talking tragedies and music like old holiday
I remember what we're doing then but I don't remember now
It's the past, it's the future
I don't know how to carry on through the rights and wrongs
Kick it like we know the songs already
Before we rock steady down and on the dancefloor
And I don't get no fights when I get angry drunk
Sit down in the corner, man, I'll soak my fuckin' socks off
So who the fuck are we just the boys in the city
It's all been done before and we'll do it again so
We'll see you later you alligators
We'll be back I'm sure next week and sit in the bar you know
So good bye, bye we'll try never to die but
We are so young we don't understand if we cannot fly
So we're here now but we'll be gone soon
Not today, not tomorrow, not the next two
Heavy, it's on my mind
You says you feel just fine
Rackin' and stackin' them lines
I say, calm down dearest
It's Heavy, it's on my mind
You says you feel just fine
Rackin' and stackin' your lines
I say, calm down dearest
It's Heavy, it's on my mind
You says you feel just fine
Rackin' and stackin' your lines
I say, calm down dearest
It's Heavy, it's on my mind
You says you feel just fine
Rackin' and stacki'n your lines
I say, calm down dearest
I feel drunk already, maybe drink got spiked
But more like the other like that I'm just a lightweight
But I don't care, man, I been drunk forever I sedated
Hatred, I sedated, pages, I sedated
Worthwhile cages, stages, and all of my rage

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
"We’ll be back I’m sure ???????? So bye, bye, bye I’ll try never to ???? We are so young we don’t understand if we cannot fly(?) "
think it might be...
"We’ll be back I’m sure next week and sit in the bar you know So bye, bye, bye we'll try never to die We are so young we don’t understand if we cannot fly "
and yeah I reckon you're right, think it is "fly" at the end of that line
