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.
Really didn't think I was gonna make it
Really didn't think I was gonna make it this way
Put on my robot face
Hide my emotions way far away from me
Oh! You really saw my naked heart
You really brought out the "naked" part
I don't know what you were doing
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me
I want to take you
For all that you are
Although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you
Through all that you do
I want to thank you
It was strange and it was soothing, and you could even say amusing
The way it came to me
You'd devised a simple plan, that would change the fate of man
You'd thought of everything
Oh! You really saw my naked heart
You really brought out the "naked" part
I don't know what you were doing
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me
I want to take you. For all that you are
Although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you- thru all that you do
I want to thank you
Really didn't think I was gonna make it this way
Put on my robot face
Hide my emotions way far away from me
Oh! You really saw my naked heart
You really brought out the "naked" part
I don't know what you were doing
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me
I want to take you
For all that you are
Although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you
Through all that you do
I want to thank you
It was strange and it was soothing, and you could even say amusing
The way it came to me
You'd devised a simple plan, that would change the fate of man
You'd thought of everything
Oh! You really saw my naked heart
You really brought out the "naked" part
I don't know what you were doing
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me
I want to take you. For all that you are
Although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you- thru all that you do
I want to thank you

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
Gadjits, The
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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Just an additional note about the song's religious undertones, I like how he says, "Really didn't think I's gonna make it this way." He never thought he was going to be one to make it through life as a Christian. The "Although our worlds seem far apart," line is about his life as a "rock star" being so different from what is thought of as the Christian lifestyle.
