At Jim Jim Falls
I fall in love
At Jim Jim Falls
I fell up from Hell

If you're gonna jump then jump
Don't think about it
If you're gonna run home and cry
Then don't waste my time
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then to save face
Just kill yourself

At Jim Jim Falls
I fooled and fell
If I were you
I'd stick to your own canoe

If you're gonna jump then jump
Don't think about it
If you're gonna run home and cry
Then don't waste my time
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then to save face
Get on with it

If you're gonna sing then sing
Don't think about it
If you're gonna live then live
Don't go on about it
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then for God's sake

If you're gonna sing then sing
Just don't talk about it
If you're gonna live then live
Don't go on about it
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then for God's sake
Just kill yourself

    A man falls in love with a girl in some picturesque landscape. His love seems to be mad and devoted, but he does not have a courage to confess it to her. He tries to tell her about it but It's too difficult for him to say it directly. However, finally she figures it out. In fact, he is completely indifferent to her, she doesnt feel anything towards him, he is just a person she knows a bit and nothing more. She is embarassed and irritated with the thing and what she wants from him is to do what he has to do and then get off her back. So she tells him he should just express his feelings, take his actions directly and not prolong this awkward situation any further. "If you're gonna kill yourself then do it" means "just do what you want to do, it won't change my attitude".

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”
