its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
How can your face be so angry
When all you're doing is looking at me
(You) chastise me for my behaviour
It's gonna last too long
And what am I now but your reaction
I'm all those memories you tried to steal
This war will never be over
Gonna last too long
You're still a fucker
You're still a fucker
You're still a fucker
To me
(You know) Lucifer cried when you looked at me
And the heavens rained down
On your acid face
What is left now that it's over
Shouldn't last too long
Repeat chorus
But it's all the same
It is all the same
What a life
But it's all the same
It is all the same
What a life
And I believe I belong nowhere
Maybe there are winners (but I'm)
Always used
Everythings hard to discover
When it lasts too long
Repeat chorus
When all you're doing is looking at me
(You) chastise me for my behaviour
It's gonna last too long
And what am I now but your reaction
I'm all those memories you tried to steal
This war will never be over
Gonna last too long
You're still a fucker
You're still a fucker
You're still a fucker
To me
(You know) Lucifer cried when you looked at me
And the heavens rained down
On your acid face
What is left now that it's over
Shouldn't last too long
Repeat chorus
But it's all the same
It is all the same
What a life
But it's all the same
It is all the same
What a life
And I believe I belong nowhere
Maybe there are winners (but I'm)
Always used
Everythings hard to discover
When it lasts too long
Repeat chorus

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.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I like this song, but not musically speaking. Actually, the song is just made to make fun of the britney spears' shit and other stupid pop singers, and in the same time, the lyrics are very violent and angry but sang in a pop way. It shows how a band can have an influence on their listeners. It's like "look what we can make you say, sing with us those violent lyrics without realizing it". Very clever skin !!!
