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.
What do you know?
What do you know?
The birds and the bees they are wise to the lies (what do you know?)
So they took to the trees and took to the skies (what do you know?)
On top of the chain and safe from the rain (what do you know?)
Whatcha' know about the ways of the underside? (What do you know?)
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea (what do you know?)
'Cause they're hip to the bull and hip to the lies (what do you know?)
Ante up with your ass 'cause you ain't got a penny (what do you know?)
Whatcha' know about the ways on the underside? (what do you know?)
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea (what do you know?)
Ante up with your ass 'cause you ain't got a penny (what do you know?)
Droppin' bombs from above cut ya all down to size (what do you know?)
'Cause they're hip to the bull and they're hip to the lies (what do you know?)
Yeah, the streets rose in two perfect waves in the night (what do you know?)
Crashes on my left and one on my right (what do you know?)
It's all fire and brimstone baby, so let's go outside (what do you know?)
It's all fire and brimstone baby, I got my brand new pistol baby (what do you know?)
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea (what do you know?)
Ante up with your ass cause you ain't got a penny (what do you know?)
Droppin' bombs from above cut ya all down to size (what do you know?)
'Cause they're hip to the bull and they're hip to the lies
And they're hip to the lies
Our turn to decide who lives and who dies
Right in front of your eyes, it's time to get up
Our turn to decide who lives and who dies
Now answer the lies, it's time to get up
Our turn to decide who lives and who dies
Whatcha' know about the ways on the underside? (What do you know?)
Bought a hot shot gat from a north end guinea
Now answer the lies, it's time to get up (what do you know?)
Ante up with your ass 'cause you ain't got a penny (what do you know?)
Droppin' bombs from above cut you all down to size
Now answer the lies, it's time to get up (what do you know?)
'Cause they're hip to the bull and they're hip to the lies
And they're hip to the lies
Our turn to decide who lives and who dies
Now answer the lies, it's time to get up
Our turn to decide who lives and who dies
Right in front of your eyes, it's time to get up
Our turn to decide who lives and who dies
Now answer the lies, it's time to get up
Our turn to decide who lives and who dies

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I always heard 'ante up with your eyes' but the more I listen to it I think it is 'ante up with your ass'. I think I like 'ass' better in this context anyway.
