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.
There's a little child
Running around this house
And he never leaves
He will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers grow up fast
Grow up fast
Anything you want, it can be done
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Running around this house
And he never leaves
He will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers grow up fast
Grow up fast
Anything you want, it can be done
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad?
Did you go bad?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman

"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.
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.
Fog. Not Fog. What the heck does the song reference, guys? That's the million dollar question! Is it about never being able to escape a bad upbringing....like carrying heavy baggage with you at all times and you just can't lose it (ie won't "wash away"). GREAT band regardless.
This song is incorrectly named. The actual name of this song is "Fog".
This was the original name of Fog.
There's a solid chance the name of the song references Thomas Pynchon's novel V. which has a part dealing with one of the main characters joining the hunt for alligators in the sewers of New York.
The reason why it's a solid chance is because Radiohead's W.A.S.T.E. shop is named after a secret post system in TP's second book, The Crying of Lot 49.
This title is the original title that was on the bootlegs when Radiohead played it live in the time between Ok Computer and the official release on Com Lag where it achieved the title Fog.
This song is a parent's point of view, lamenting his child's loss of innocence. The first stanza is reminiscing the innocence of his/her child's childhood. The second is lamenting the child's fall from innocence. The child may or may not have been brought up in a ruff NY neighborhood. Fog represents memories.
