its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
If you're feeling low and lost today,
Probably doing to much again,
Spend all your hours just rushing around,
Do you have a little time for me.
Slow down my love you're confusing me,
If you're feeling stressed just try calling,
Spend your time waiting for anyone to see,
Do you have a little time for me.
If you should stop for a while,
You will find me standing by,
Over here, at the side of your life,
I'd like to hold you still,
Remind you of all you've missed,
If you have a little time, if you have a little time that is.
Why do you still run when you could walk with me,
Life will pass you by when you move this quickly,
What can you see when you're spinning around,
Do you have a little time for me.
If you should stop for a while,
You will find me standing by,
Over here, at the side of your life,
I'd like to hold you still,
Remind you of all you've missed,
If you have a little time, if you have a little time that is.
If you let me listen I'll make you feel clear,
Spend your time waiting for anyone to see.
If you should stop for a while,
You will find me standing by,
Over here, at the side of your life,
I'd like to hold you still,
Remind you of all you've missed,
If you have a little time, if you have a little time that is.
Probably doing to much again,
Spend all your hours just rushing around,
Do you have a little time for me.
Slow down my love you're confusing me,
If you're feeling stressed just try calling,
Spend your time waiting for anyone to see,
Do you have a little time for me.
If you should stop for a while,
You will find me standing by,
Over here, at the side of your life,
I'd like to hold you still,
Remind you of all you've missed,
If you have a little time, if you have a little time that is.
Why do you still run when you could walk with me,
Life will pass you by when you move this quickly,
What can you see when you're spinning around,
Do you have a little time for me.
If you should stop for a while,
You will find me standing by,
Over here, at the side of your life,
I'd like to hold you still,
Remind you of all you've missed,
If you have a little time, if you have a little time that is.
If you let me listen I'll make you feel clear,
Spend your time waiting for anyone to see.
If you should stop for a while,
You will find me standing by,
Over here, at the side of your life,
I'd like to hold you still,
Remind you of all you've missed,
If you have a little time, if you have a little time that is.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
He doesnt admit his feelings always pretends he's to busy, when you know that what he really wants is plain to see, and your not fooled, he's really lonely and alone, and needs someone to love him, but will never admit and will end up all by himself.
Why do you let the world pass you by when I'm standing right here?? It's about being left behind in a relationship.. Being taken advantage of.. the novelty has worn off and so now you're just like a trophy. But you wish that for just on second, just once..you'd get an aknowledgement that you even exist.....
Oddly enough she wrote this from the perspective of her guitar.
This is such a sad song . She is there looking at the one she loves go run around on autopilot and feeling strsssed out like a lot of us do . She feels left out also . When she says
Spend your time waiting for anyone to see
Meaning he’s spending time with people who don’t care about him. All the while he’s not seeing her standing by his side . ( completely missed her) He has no time for her . She cares He doesn’t He doesn’t stop to see her . Take a pause to know what he’s missed. He’s one of those who sometimes never learn the value of the person with them until they are gone and by the time they come to their senses the people they gave their time to are no longer there either. Then they stop and look back :(( Time is the most precious thing you can give to your loved ones . Everything goes off in smoke if you don’t spend time together.
not so odd if you think about it because if she was getting ready to write something she may have been putting it off. Her guitar may have been calling to her to finish the task.
