Warren Zevon -

and If California slides into the ocean,
like the mystics and statistics say it will...

Townes Van Zandt was so good with double meanings

Everything is not enough,
Nothing is too much to bear..

They only let him hang around,
out of kindness I suppose.

When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes? (meaning - when hell freezes over).

Well, tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
Silent 'neath a blanket, green and blue
All that I shall hear, the silence they are keeping
And I'll bring all their promises to you

quote:

Remember everywhere, everything is in this place
Take a place if you find a place to take
Take away the way you want to walk away
Make a way with my mind my mind's away
Wake me up when I'm on the throw to paradise
Lift me off the ground
And take me to the garden of paradise
Remember everywhere, everything is in this place
Take a place if you find a place to take
And if you don't have anything nice to say
You can tell it while you take it to your grave
Wake me up when I'm on the throw to paradise
Lift me off the ground
And take me to the garden of paradise

Well, it's the classic contradiction
The unavoidable affliction
And it don't take much to predict, son
The way it always goes

First one day she'll say she loves you
Then the next she'll be tired of you
And push'll always come to shove you
On that midnight rodeo

Some of my favorite lyrics-

“Remainders of a shooting star
Landed directly on our broke down little car
Before then, we had made a wish
That we would be missed
If one or another just did not exist”

My pussy cat was scratching
out on my back door
Scratched so long poor pussy got sore
Sore pussy..ooohhhh
Sore..pussy ooohhh
Just a friendly little cat

My pussy cat was sittin
on the front step
Sat so long poor pussy got wet
Wet pussy...ohhhhh
Sore,
wet..pussy

Just a friendly little cat

My pussy cat was playing
out on the back lot
Played so long poor pussy got hot
Hot pussy..ohhhh
Sore,
wet,
hot...
pussy..
Just a friendly little cat

My pussy cat was rocking
in the rocking chair
Rocked so long he lost his hair
Bald pussy...
ohhh Sore,
wet,
hot,
bald...
pussy
Just a friendly little cat


My neighbor and I out
at the clothes line
I said to my neighbor
won't you look at mine
My pussy..oohhhhhh
Sore,
wet,
hot,
bald
pussy
Just a friendly little cat

My neighbor stole my kitty
But I did see
I said to my neighbor set my pussy free
Free pussy
Sore,
wet,
hot,
bald
free
pussy

Just a friendly little cat
Here kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty.

I was dressed for success
But success it never comes
And I'm the only one who laughs
At your jokes when they are so bad
And your jokes are always bad
But they're not as bad as this

Come join us in a prayer
We'll be waiting, waiting where
Everything's ending here

And all the sterile striking it defends
An empty dock you cast away
And rain upon your forehead
Where the mist's for hire if it's just too clear
Let's spend our last quarterstance randomly
Go down to the outlet once again

Painted portraits of minions and slaves
Crotch mavens and one night plays
Are they the only ones who laugh?
At the jokes when they are so bad
And the jokes they're always bad
But they're not as bad as this

Come join us in a prayer
We'll be waiting, waiting where
Everything's ending here

And all the spanish candles unsold
Away have gone to this
And a run-on piece of mount on
Trembles, shivers, runs down the freeway
I guess she spent her last quarter randomly
I guess a guess is the best I'll do
Last time, last time
Was the best time
We spent randomly

Ladies, let me tell you about myself
I got a dick for a brain
And my brain is gonna sell my arse to you
Now I'm OK, but in time I'll find I'm stuck
'Cause she wants love, and I still want to frick

Now that I'm ashamed, it burns
But the weight is off
Now that you're out of the way
I turn and I can walk
You showed no sympathy, my love
And this was no place for you and me to walk alone
On my grave, am I OK?
I'm sure I'm not

Ladies let me tell you about my love
She kept giving me more
But it wasn't enough
So understand
Now that I come to you
To understand my little self
To understand my little self

And baby you be sweet
Be sweet, be sweet, be sweet
Baby, you be sweet
Be sweet, be sweet, be sweet
Be sweet, be sweet, be sweet

She gave me the Queen
She gave me the King
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her Deuce was wild
But my Ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a Full House
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right

She's got the jack…

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or, so I've read.
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I love to sink her with my pink torpedo.
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes
My gal's got 'em.
Big bottom
Drive me out of my mind.
How can I leave this behind?
I saw her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean.
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean.
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game's waiting there inside her tights.
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about mud flaps
My gal's got 'em.
Big bottom
Drive me out of my mind.
How can I leave this behind?

People only stop here because they're passing through
And I ring 'em up for diesel, cigarettes and Mountain Dew
They're headed on to Dallas or Memphis, Tennessee
I've never been past Little Rock and I'm damn near thirty-three

I'm gonna tell my boss he's fired, burn my unpaid bills
And if folks ask when I'm comin' back, promise I never will
I'm droppin' off my name tag, I'm gonna hug my ma and pa
As I'm runnin' out of Hope, Arkansas

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
Let's forget about the tongue tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take you from the inside, baby, hold on tight
You were so right when you said I've been drinking
What was I thinking when we said goodnight?
I want to hold you in the Bible black pre-dawn
You're quite a quiet domino bury, me now
Take off your band-aid, 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when we said hello?
I always thought that if I held you tightly
You would always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
Disposable Dixie cup drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I've been hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
Loves you
I'm the man who loves you
