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.
No one tastes like you
No one wastes me their words like you do
No one can change my views
Like you do
Do you really think I wanted this to fail?
Do you really think this crazy world'll get better?
Do you really think this crazy world'll get better?
No one tastes like you
No one wastes me their words like you do
And nothing between us is assumed
And no one can change the fact that I was sewed on you
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
I'm the reject that you never accepted
Now I'm left wrecked and forever affected
There's nothing left to do
There's nothing left to say, no more to lose
I miss all the things you knew
There's no excuse
Do you really think I wanted this to fail?
Do you really think this crazy world'll get better?
Do you really think this crazy world'll get better?
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
Now I'm left wrecked and forever affected
You know that I'm all alone
There's nothing else I can say
There's no one else I can be anymore
I'm the reject that you never accepted
(I'm the reject that you never accepted)
I'm the reject that you always neglected
(I'm the reject that you always neglected)
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
Now I'm left wrecked and forever affected
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
Now I'm left wrecked and forever affected
No one wastes me their words like you do
No one can change my views
Like you do
Do you really think I wanted this to fail?
Do you really think this crazy world'll get better?
Do you really think this crazy world'll get better?
No one tastes like you
No one wastes me their words like you do
And nothing between us is assumed
And no one can change the fact that I was sewed on you
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
I'm the reject that you never accepted
Now I'm left wrecked and forever affected
There's nothing left to do
There's nothing left to say, no more to lose
I miss all the things you knew
There's no excuse
Do you really think I wanted this to fail?
Do you really think this crazy world'll get better?

You know that I'm all alone
There's nothing else I can say

I'm the reject that you never accepted
(I'm the reject that you never accepted)
I'm the reject that you always neglected
(I'm the reject that you always neglected)
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
Now I'm left wrecked and forever affected
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
I'm the reject that you never accepted
I'm the reject that you always neglected
Now I'm left wrecked and forever affected

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.

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.
Fortnight

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
lyric mistakes.."sold on you" not "sewed" and "and now when i'm all alone" not "you know that i'm all alone"
it's about never being good enough for someone to accept you
