Warren Zevon vs. Linda Ronstadt


 


Carmelita
Warren Zevon
I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well I pawned my Smith-Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer Chicken Stand

Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town



Carmelita
Linda Ronstadt
I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well I pawned my Smith & Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer Chicken Stand

Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well I'm sittin' here playin’ solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita
Hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin’ down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

TFT: Warren Zevon


 

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Werewolves of London
Warren Zevon
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walkin’ through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was lookin’ for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein

Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo
Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo

If you hear him howlin’ around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again

Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo
Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo

He's the hairy handed gent
Who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor

Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo
Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo

Well I saw Lon Chaney walkin’ with the Queen
Doin’ the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walkin’ with the Queen
Doin’ the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin’ a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect

Ahooooo
Werewolves of London
Draw blood
Ahooooo
Werewolves of London


Lawyers, Guns and Money
Warren Zevon
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
Yes I'm down on my luck
Well I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers guns and money
The $hit has hit the fan

Send lawyers guns and money

Send lawyers guns and money

Send lawyers guns and money

Send lawyers guns and money
