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.
Been a long day, waiting for the night to come
I check my Iphone,
Let me see what's going on, going on, going on
Help me DJ, and play my favorite song,
Make the speakers shake, speakers shake
Now everybody wants to sing along, sing along,
When the night is here
The only thing on my mind is
Having a good time when the moon appears
You can always hear us say
The party doesn't start til the sun goes down
That's when everything starts moving,
Everybody up when the sun goes down
Ahh, ahh, ahh
The music isn't on till it's way too loud,
That's when everybody starts dancing
Everybody shout when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Pushing my hands up,
I'm feeling good now
On the dance floor,
We can turn it inside out, inside out
When the night is here
The only thing on my mind is
Having good time with my friends
That's real, you can always hear us say
The party doesn't start til the sun goes down
That's when everything starts moving,
Everybody up when the sun goes down
Ahh, ahh, ahh
The music isn't on till it's way too loud,
That's when everybody starts dancing
Everybody shout when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Down,down,down
The sun is going down, down,down
When the moon appears, you can always hear us say
When the stars come out, you can always here us say
The party doesn't start til the sun goes down
That's when everything starts moving,
Everybody up when the sun goes down
Ahh, ahh, ahh
The music isn't on till it's way too loud,
That's when everybody starts dancing
Everybody shout when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Oh oh oh oh yeah
I check my Iphone,
Let me see what's going on, going on, going on
Help me DJ, and play my favorite song,
Make the speakers shake, speakers shake
Now everybody wants to sing along, sing along,
When the night is here
The only thing on my mind is
Having a good time when the moon appears
You can always hear us say
The party doesn't start til the sun goes down
That's when everything starts moving,
Everybody up when the sun goes down
Ahh, ahh, ahh
The music isn't on till it's way too loud,
That's when everybody starts dancing
Everybody shout when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
Oh oh oh oh yeah

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.

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

"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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Why, hello, Ke$ha.
