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.
Fake drugs, get yourself that stereo
Downtown, you're shopping like an animal
My, my, you've gone and got yourself so high
Like new roommates, at first, it's so agreeable
Fake drugs creep up like a sunrise
Time drags under gray and purple skies
Turn tricks and get yourself a quick fix
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?
Fake drugs, found 'em in your sister's sneaker
Fake drugs, yeah, you're working too hard
There's a cool side underneath your pillow, flip it
Leave home, forget about your family
Lonesome delivery is draining me
Find yourself a suit and tie, some jewellery
Like new landlords, at first, it's so respectable
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?
Fake drugs, found 'em on your father's speakers
Fake drugs, who's working too hard?
Screw love, aching for communication
Let's go downtown and try and get on television
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?
Downtown, you're shopping like an animal
My, my, you've gone and got yourself so high
Like new roommates, at first, it's so agreeable
Fake drugs creep up like a sunrise
Time drags under gray and purple skies
Turn tricks and get yourself a quick fix
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?
Fake drugs, found 'em in your sister's sneaker
Fake drugs, yeah, you're working too hard
There's a cool side underneath your pillow, flip it
Leave home, forget about your family
Lonesome delivery is draining me
Find yourself a suit and tie, some jewellery
Like new landlords, at first, it's so respectable
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?
Fake drugs, found 'em on your father's speakers
Fake drugs, who's working too hard?
Screw love, aching for communication
Let's go downtown and try and get on television
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?
Fake drugs, making me feel alright
Love, hate, fake drugs tucking me in at night
Fake drugs: what other option do I have?

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.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

@[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.
