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.
just got hit by lightning again
And she went right through me
Pick me up
Off my back replace my skin
Woman get your dirty mind outta my head
Yeah
I never knew how good
I never knew how good it could be
All over the world
She's that kind of girl
There's one in every scene
Do you know what I mean
She's got that kind of face
You see in every place
Another beautiful girl
All over the world
Oh ho
Oh ho
Once again
Ask the devil how he's been
And my angel asked me
Why do you always have to give in
So I told them
You never know what day it is
Until it's Saturday night
Get your dirty mind outta my head
Yeah
I never knew how good
I never knew how good it could be
All over the world
She's that kind of girl
There's one in every scene
Do you know what I mean
She's got that kind of face
You see in every place
Another beautiful girl
All over the world
Oh ho
Oh ho
I finally got it right
She knew what I was thinking
I always knew how good it could be
Stay tonight
Oh ho
Stay tonight
I always knew how good it could be
Stay tonight
Woman I always knew how good it could be
All over the world
She's that kind of girl
There's one in every scene
Do you know what I mean
She's got that kind of face
You see in every place
Another beautiful girl
All over the world
All over the world
And she went right through me
Pick me up
Off my back replace my skin
Woman get your dirty mind outta my head
Yeah
I never knew how good
I never knew how good it could be
All over the world
She's that kind of girl
There's one in every scene
Do you know what I mean
She's got that kind of face
You see in every place
Another beautiful girl
All over the world
Oh ho
Oh ho

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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”

@[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.
How could it be that no one had place any coment of this song???? is so GOOD! I really can't believe it. I love every line of this song... especially the part fo "Once again ask the devil how he's been, & my angel asks me why, do you always have to give in?" I think he's trying to say that he saw a really beautiful girl, and he wish he was brave enough to fight for her... so he just let her pass by... Really amazing song! listen to it!
i love this song too - best one on the album
