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.
Lonely hearts
(Lose the battle every time)
Kingdoms start
(With the closest of friends)
Maybe I will write someday
About how you all helped me
I'll get to where I am right now
I have you to thank and no one else
It was the last Saturday
My eyes would ever see
We were side by side
Waiting for the sun
To pop up over the sea
And I can't remember
The last time I was this happy
Captured in pictures
And building castles in the sand
Lonely hearts
(Lose the battle every time)
Kingdoms start
(With the closest of friends)
Maybe I will write someday
About how you all helped me
I'll get to where I am right now
I have you to thank and no one else
Pardon the selfishness
It was passion
We tried to avoid this reaction
But I was honestly
A victim of desire
Hope sick in the least, for something tangible
And I'm making it up as I go
Lonely hearts
(Lose the battle every time)
Kingdoms start
(With the closest of friends)
Maybe I will write someday
About how you all helped me
I'll get to where I am right now
I have you to thank and no one else
Take it from me
You are the ones
Who made me open up
Without your trust
Without your hearts
I wouldn't be singing this right now
Take it from me
You are the ones
Who made me open up
Without your trust
Without your hearts
I wouldn't be singing this right now
Take it from me
You are the ones
Who made me open up
Without your trust
Without your hearts
I wouldn't be singing this right now
Wherever I go I'll take you with me
And this is my promise to you (to you)
Wherever I go I'll take you with me
This is my promise to you
(Lose the battle every time)
Kingdoms start

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.

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"

Did you get this from the cd booklet?
"Take it from me you are the ones who made me open up Without your trust, without your hearts I wouldn't be singing this right now" -anybody else notice how much he sounds like Jonny Craig right there?
Anyways, good song. just about being grateful for those who helped them along the way.
