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.
Peace (peace)
No peace (no peace)
No friends coming back from Greece
No bombs to ensure there's a ceasefire cease
And no cascades
No savage detectives to evade
And you will never see the alligator's glade
Where Agamemnon drowned the violent night shade
Peace
No peace
No crystal cathedral to lease
No no dancing in the basement must immediately cease
By the order, by the order of the Grand Diocese
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
Oh when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
No peace (no peace)
No peace (no peace)
'Cause you will never fear the alligator's teeth
And you will never have protection from the drunken police
The dancing in the basement oh darling must cease
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (the terror in your bones)
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the terror in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
Oh-oh-oh no suicide
Oh-oh-oh (no suicide)
(No suicide) [repeated until the end]
Hold on to the edge no suicide
Hold on to the edge no suicide
Hold on to the edge no suicide
No suicide, hold on to the edge no suicide
No suicide, hold on to the edge no suicide
As a sailor sails on sin
As a sailor sips his vodka and his gin
As a sailor sails on sin
As a sailor drinks his vodka and gin
No peace (no peace)
No friends coming back from Greece
No bombs to ensure there's a ceasefire cease
And no cascades
No savage detectives to evade
And you will never see the alligator's glade
Where Agamemnon drowned the violent night shade
Peace
No peace
No crystal cathedral to lease
No no dancing in the basement must immediately cease
By the order, by the order of the Grand Diocese
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
Oh when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
No peace (no peace)
No peace (no peace)
'Cause you will never fear the alligator's teeth
And you will never have protection from the drunken police
The dancing in the basement oh darling must cease
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (the terror in your bones)
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the terror in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
Oh-oh-oh no suicide
Oh-oh-oh (no suicide)
(No suicide) [repeated until the end]
Hold on to the edge no suicide
Hold on to the edge no suicide
Hold on to the edge no suicide
No suicide, hold on to the edge no suicide
No suicide, hold on to the edge no suicide
As a sailor sails on sin
As a sailor sips his vodka and his gin
As a sailor sails on sin
As a sailor drinks his vodka and gin

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.
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.
Thanks, fixed
