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.
It was a Monday, when my lover told me,
"never pay the reaper with love only."
What could I say to you except " I love you"
And "I'd give my life for yours."
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones, dear.
The first time we made love, I, I wasn't sober.
(and you told me you loved me over, and over)
How can I ever love another, when I miss you every day,
Remember the time we made love in the roses?
(and you took my pictures in all sorts of poses!)
How can I ever get over you, when I'd give my life for yours
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones, dear.
My dear,
Its time to say I thank god for you.
I thank god for you in each and every single way.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, its time
To let you know. time to let you know.
Time to let you know.
Time to sit here and say
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear
"never pay the reaper with love only."
What could I say to you except " I love you"
And "I'd give my life for yours."
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones, dear.
The first time we made love, I, I wasn't sober.
(and you told me you loved me over, and over)
How can I ever love another, when I miss you every day,
Remember the time we made love in the roses?
(and you took my pictures in all sorts of poses!)
How can I ever get over you, when I'd give my life for yours
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones, dear.
My dear,
Its time to say I thank god for you.
I thank god for you in each and every single way.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, its time
To let you know. time to let you know.
Time to let you know.
Time to sit here and say
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
I know we are, we are the lucky ones, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear

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.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Bif Naked is a lesbian, and she's singing about how she and her girlfriend "are the lucky ones" because they've found true love in a world full of hate and prejudice.
No, she isn't. She's been married to a man since 2007. Check your facts before posting.
