Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Go bang... go bang)
Everybody sick of ordering pizza, everybody tired of holding hands
Everybody had their share of small-talk, everybody bored of making plans
Everybody had their feet inspected, everybody had to get a grip
Everybody got their plastic bullets, everybody shooting from the hip
Everybody bites the hand that feeds them, everybody had their one-night stands.
EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG. EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG.
Everybody had their blood-transfusion, everybody got their ironing done
Everybody had their cash invested, everybody called it good clean Fun
Everybody here been disinfected, everybody waiting for the off
Everybody gets the silent treatment, everybody is afraid to cough
Everybody ate a hearty breakfast, everybody loves that kind of thang.
EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG. EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG.
Everybody here Everybody here Everybody here GO BANG. (Go bang)
Everybody here Everybody here Everybody here GO BANG. (Go bang)
Everybody here Everybody there Everybody here and everywhere (I say)
Everybody here GO BANG. Everybody here GO - BANG
Everybody here is making whoopee, everybody here got purple hair
Everybody got their Black&Decker - blood and fettucine everywhere
Everybody do their Zulu wardance, doing something with a piece of wood
Everybody here can't get arrested, everybody wishes someone would
Everybody getting paranormal, everybody here in Wonderland.
EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG. EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG.
Everybody want their milk and biscuits, everybody wants their bed of nails
Everybody wants to feel romantic, everybody knows what this entails
Everybody needs their feeding-frenzy, everybody needs to justify
Everyone inclines to reproduction, everybody has an alibi
Everybody wants a private income, everybody plays the Steinway grand
EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG. EVERYBODY HERE GO BANG.
Everybody here Everybody here Everybody here GO BANG. (Go bang)
Everybody here Everybody here Everybody here GO BANG. (Go bang)
Everybody here Everybody there Everybody here and everywhere (I say)
Everybody here GO BANG. Everybody here GO - BANG
Everybody here GO BANG. Everybody here GO - BANG

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Basically I think this song is about being sick of normal life, people, and society, and seeking a catharsis -i.e. going bang.
