Warren Zevon appreciation thread |

Damn, he was the man!
Most rockers, I really could give a rats ass about their lyrics.
But his were good. I mean, send shivers down your spine good...

5. Anyone else think this song describes the Dim Son? |
|
Well, I went home with the waitress The way I always do How was I to know She was with the Russians, too
I was gambling in Havana I took a little risk Send lawyers, guns and money Dad, get me out of this
I'm the innocent bystander Somehow I got stuck Between the rock and the hard place And I'm down on my luck And I'm down on my luck And I'm down on my luck
Now I'm hiding in Honduras I'm a desperate man Send lawyers, guns and money The shit has hit the fan
Send lawyers, guns and money...

10. "Enjoy every sandwich" |
|
His final appearance on David Letterman's show was one of the most courageous performances I've seen any entertainer do.
Warren and Hunter S. Thompson are out there together somewhere in the afterlife, blowing off steam and cracking each other up.

11. This is funny...considering the current Lounge climate |
|
I'd lay my head on the railroad tracks And wait for the Double "E" But the railroad don't run no more Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me Poor, poor pitiful me These young girls won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe is me
Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood I ain't naming names She really worked me over good She was just like Jesse James She really worked me over good She was a credit to her gender She put me through some changes, Lord Sort of like a Waring blender
Poor, poor pitiful me Poor, poor pitiful me These young girls won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe is me
Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar She asked me if I'd beat her She took me back to the Hyatt House... I don't want to talk about it
Poor, poor pitiful me Poor, poor pitiful me These young girls won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe is me
Well, I met a girl from the Vieux Carre` Down in Yokahama She picked me up and she throwed me down I said, "Please don't hurt me, Mama"
