its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Look like a lush. Talk like a tease
The way you like it
In front of your house, alone on the street
You ask me to come inside
Asleep through all our classes
You hang me out to dry
If this is a test
I?m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test
I'm wasting my breath
You're a stranger I know well
And not at all
Heart on a hook thrown out to the sea
Your basement busy
Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a
Phone call you'll likely miss
Wake me when it's over
The last sound of goodbye
Let's imagine the end before we even begin
You said
You're a stranger I know well, and not at all
The way you like it
In front of your house, alone on the street
You ask me to come inside
Asleep through all our classes
You hang me out to dry
If this is a test
I?m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test
I'm wasting my breath
You're a stranger I know well
And not at all
Heart on a hook thrown out to the sea
Your basement busy
Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a
Phone call you'll likely miss
Wake me when it's over
The last sound of goodbye
Let's imagine the end before we even begin
You said
You're a stranger I know well, and not at all

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.

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.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
To me this sounds like one of those relationships where you build someone up to be so amazing, you lose sight of who they are, and never really quite discover it. So when it starts to fall apart, you really want to keep it together, but at the same time you are realizing you don't know anything about this person, and have nothing in common except each other.
