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.
Sweetness, sweetness never suits me
When I get it up to take you home
Maybe it's love, love at first slightly drunk
Now I'm walking with the sun in my mouth
Worry, worry is a well
Gonna let it fall tonight from where we stand
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can see what's coming
But I'm not saying it
Sickness, weakness at the thought
Of how you're going to play
How long should I stay?
Promises, promises never cease to assist it
Now I'm back on my back
Please bite your words
Hurry, hurry to believe
I can always trust as much as you deceive
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can see what's coming
But I'm not saying it
What's your middle name?
How do you play the game?
I'll be the first to leave
When did I grow up?
I don't want to say too much
I'll be the first to leave
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
What can't be decided
Can fool you into thinking maybe you can choose
I can see what's coming
I can see what's coming
I can see what's coming
But I'm not saying it
When I get it up to take you home
Maybe it's love, love at first slightly drunk
Now I'm walking with the sun in my mouth
Worry, worry is a well
Gonna let it fall tonight from where we stand
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can see what's coming
But I'm not saying it
Sickness, weakness at the thought
Of how you're going to play
How long should I stay?
Promises, promises never cease to assist it
Now I'm back on my back
Please bite your words
Hurry, hurry to believe
I can always trust as much as you deceive
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can see what's coming
But I'm not saying it
What's your middle name?
How do you play the game?
I'll be the first to leave
When did I grow up?
I don't want to say too much
I'll be the first to leave
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
What can't be decided
Can fool you into thinking maybe you can choose
I can see what's coming
I can see what's coming
I can see what's coming
But I'm not saying it

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
i think he says "weakness at the thought"...like he's getting a stomach ache thinking of the girl. i can relate :)
Ah, the one night stand. There is always the awkwardness when morning comes. Do you actually have to have an actual conversation with your partner? Who's going to leave first? Pretend to be asleep and let the other leave, or.....? You were drunk last night and now you've got a hangover. Do you regret what you did? Feeling any guilt, shame? Are there any repercussions for your behaviour?
I believe this is a song about not wanting to recognize a night will turn into a one-night stand, so both parties just go along mindlessly and optimistically, refusing to think it may not work.
Accordingly, I believe the lyrics are closer to:
Sweetness, sweetness never suits me When I get it up to take you home Maybe it's love, love at first slightly drunk And I'm walking with the sun in my mouth Worry, worry is a web Gonna let it fall tonight from where we stand
Sickness, weakness at the fall Of how you're going to play it How long should I stay? Promises, promises never cease to assist it And now I'm back on my back Please bite your words Hurry, hurry to believe I can always trust as much as you deceive
I love how this song transitions. Shows the progression of thoughts and actions. And, I thought it was "I can see what's coming, but I'm not saying it". It sounds right, and it fits better with the theme of being a coward.
My favorite part of this song is the line "Love, love at firstlightly drunk" Its hard to transliterate, the way first light melts into slightly drunk, but i love that part.
stars has done it again. this album is BEYOND amazing. i can't wait to see them NOV. 2!!
another lovely duet, with a similar theme to "your ex-lover is dead."
Will you be the one to sneak out?
This is obviously about a drunk, one night stand. At least from the female's perspective. However, I think the male wants more than just a one night stand ("I can always trust as much as you deceive"), and wants to know whether she plays people or not. Also towards the end the lovers attempt to justify their actions by quickly asking pointless questions after their one nights stand: "Whats your middle name?" etc. However, they realize their relationship will only be sex and feel guilty.
i am hearing "maybe it’s love, love at first slightly drunk"
does anyone second that??
