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'm in trouble I'm an addict
I'm addicted to this girl
She's got my heart tied in a knot
And my stomach in a whirl
But even worse I can't stop calling her
She's all I want and more
I mean damn,
What's not to adore
I've been playing to much guitar
I, I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she's going mad
And that cellular-er will be the death of us
I swear, I swear
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooh oooh oooh
I'm running my mouth just like I got her
But I surely don't
Because she's so-o-o-o-o-o-o
Rock and roll!
And out of my league
Is she out of my league?
Let's hope not
I'm in trouble
I'm so cliche
See that word just wares me out
Makes me feel like just another boy
To laugh and joke about
But even worse I can't stop calling her
I love to hear that voice
And honestly, I'm left with no choice
I've been playing to much guitar
I, I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she's going mad
And that cellular-er will be the death of us
I swear, I swear
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooh oooh oooh
I'm running my mouth just like I got her
But I surely don't
Because she's so-o-o-o-o-o-o
Rock and roll!
And out of my league
Is she out of my league?
Let's hope not
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooh oooh oooh ooh ooh oooh oh
I'm addicted to this girl
She's got my heart tied in a knot
And my stomach in a whirl
But even worse I can't stop calling her
She's all I want and more
I mean damn,
What's not to adore
I've been playing to much guitar
I, I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she's going mad
And that cellular-er will be the death of us
I swear, I swear
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooh oooh oooh
I'm running my mouth just like I got her
But I surely don't
Because she's so-o-o-o-o-o-o
Rock and roll!
And out of my league
Is she out of my league?
Let's hope not
I'm in trouble
I'm so cliche
See that word just wares me out
Makes me feel like just another boy
To laugh and joke about
But even worse I can't stop calling her
I love to hear that voice
And honestly, I'm left with no choice
I've been playing to much guitar
I, I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she's going mad
And that cellular-er will be the death of us
I swear, I swear
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooh oooh oooh
I'm running my mouth just like I got her
But I surely don't
Because she's so-o-o-o-o-o-o
Rock and roll!
And out of my league
Is she out of my league?
Let's hope not
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooh oooh oooh ooh ooh oooh oh

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.

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.
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.

I love this song :)
It's about a guy that's crushing on a girl but she doesn't really like him that much.
"I'm running my mouth just like I got her, but I surely don't" - This part means he is bragging about how she talks to her, practically like he's dating her; but he's not.
"I call so many times I swear she's going mad" - Just basically means she doesn't feel the same way about him, and this is why he's in trouble because he can't get what he wants.
waaaaaagh i love this song and i'm super stoked that he's recording the ukulele ep with forrest kline
Is it still ukulele ep, or is it now me and my uke ep?
my favorite song by christofer.
he's such a talented boy :3 <33
it is me and my uke ep, i just called it the ukulele ep because.. well.. technically that's what it is. not the name, though.
if that makes sense.. haha.
i love love love loveeee how he says guitar >.<
anyways, 3rd favorite song by mr. drew :p
oh. yeah. it's definitely guitar.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't say games, but I can't tell what it really says.
i think it's: "I've been playing too much gigs" as in shows, and also you spelled trouble wrong in the second verse :)
I think he says GITAH as in guitar. ya know.
He said ukulele ep on one of his blogs once but I guess he must have changed his mind, hah.
