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.
You think I worship you but I just think you're strange.
(Hurry, I'm worried for the crowd.)
the risk of losing you makes everything seem sweeter.
if I make a mistake it'll go to pieces.
(You make me want to put the fire out.)
Look at me wrong and I go to pieces.
Swing on a rope under bridge over bay kid
remove yourself from the water.
When I'm older I'll make better friends,
mom when I turn thirty five you can holler.
What bothers me is how you say 'whatever'
though you know I hate it I told you so.
(Make me work for my grin)
(Make want to get in love)
Come back down to the front.
Hurry, I'm worried for the crowd.
Sometimes I think of what would happen if you died.
(You can assure that the puppets who pull my strings
make me want to put the fire out.)
If you were poisoned by a spider would you trust me. (go on)
Could I cut off your arm to spare your feelings
To pick you up to have you put me down.
Swing on a rope under bridge over bay kid
remove yourself from the water.
When I'm older I'll make better friends,
mom when I turn 25 you can holler.
I promise.
What bothers me is how you say 'whatever'
though you know I hate it I told you so.
(Make me work for my grin)
(Make want to get in...)

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
