I remember her
The girl who wouldn't die
She said it wasn't true
I knew it was a lie
People on the street
Would cry out if they knew
The things that I have done
To make the dream come true
When she blew my mind away
All the feelings were betrayed
Heaven would squeeze her
Hell would release her
Into my brain

La la la la la
La la, la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la

And I swear she looked surprised
When I joined the freak show guys
Under the Big Top
I was a cyclops
With two eyes
When morning turned to night
She said it was a hoax
And when she came with me
She said it was a joke
I still hear the beat
And it makes me wanna fly
For I could not compete
The the girl who wouldn't die
In a million little years
All the waiting to be here
Hell couldn't crush me
Heaven would brush me
Out of the tear

La la la, la la
La la, la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la

    Girl breaks up with a guy, guy can't get her out of his head and tries to keep talking to her, girl denies the relationship ever existed, guy moves on from this horrible experience very hurt and shunned, but hopeful that love still exists out there.

    Great, GREAT song. Heard it on FreakyLinks! :D

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.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
