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.
I don't like the steps I took to get to look into your deepest feelings
And I don't like the place I'm in head space within the hardwood and the ceiling
Cause if I'm restless than why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul
And I don't get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
I'm not surprised to find that you do
I know you do
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Clinging to the remnants of perfection like most do after they break
It not knowing which directions the correct one do I discard or remake it
Cause if I don?t know than I don't know
But I may know someone who knows me more than I
And if I somehow could rest this soul
Maybe control could find its way back to my life
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
You see I know that I have done all this to you, to you
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
Yeah, I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you, my baby, yeah, my darling
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you alone
And I don't like the place I'm in head space within the hardwood and the ceiling
Cause if I'm restless than why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul
And I don't get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
I'm not surprised to find that you do
I know you do
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Clinging to the remnants of perfection like most do after they break
It not knowing which directions the correct one do I discard or remake it
Cause if I don?t know than I don't know
But I may know someone who knows me more than I
And if I somehow could rest this soul
Maybe control could find its way back to my life
But I don't mind but I'm not surprised to find that you do
You see I know that I have done all this to you, to you
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
Yeah, I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die too.
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you, my baby, yeah, my darling
Until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you alone

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.

"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.
Yeah they broke up but I also heard that Shannon announced that he cheated on her. And that he has done it before. Why have this song and then on that same album "At least we made it this far" if God didn't mean for him to marry her? That is a cop out and he should have never have said that @ all and left their business to be private. But beyond losing some respect for him the song is chilling and deep.
