One, two, three, four
Oh
This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop
These clothes
These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame
It's all the same
It's all the same

You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out

We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,
EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paper weight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged
A hotline, a wanted add
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this

Crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had

    My Interpretation

    I sometimes thing that Michael is perhaps expressing a dialogue of sorts, rather than a monologue. I believe that someone is judging him and perhaps a chemical addiction of some sort that has been tormenting him. The person is telling him, condescendingly all the things that he could have had if he would lead a normal life in Georgia. Perhaps this person is his father or someone fatherlike. The hotline and the want ads seem to indicate that they are expressing some kind of help for an addiction of some sort. The maddening loop of film is where the person that JUST CAN'T HEAR MICHAEL, hears but REFUSES TO REALLY listen and really try to understand and LOVE Michael where he is at, not where the judger wants Michael to be at. So the judger, the critic is more interested in coming at Michael with a bone to pick, with a pre-positioned (POSITIONS) set of arguments and attacking points, but is more interested in criticizing and posturing their morals toward him, rather than trying to love him where he is at and sympathizing with him. What he needs is the drug. BUT what he WANTS even more is the critic's LOVE. But the Country Feedback that Michael is getting is like a paperweight, a junk garage, winter rain, useless, useless, useless. A honey pot? hmmm. Perhaps somewhat pretentious and not needful. The honey came in a jar. The pot is a secondary vessel used outer change of the original design of the honey container. Is this critic of Michael always so hardheaded that Michael came to the conclusion that to even approach this person from whom Michael desires and NEEDS love and understanding from, will only lead to a repeat, a repeat, an ever looping repeating film of ears that will not hear, and a heart that will not love, but only judge. Or maybe it's just me.

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.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
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
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.
