The phone don't ring
And the sun refused to shine
Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly
For what was already mine
For such a long, long time

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

The days slide by
Should have done, should have done, we all sigh
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely
After such a long, long time
Time out of mind

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

Couldn't agree more. It's been almost 10 years since Cynaera left us and I miss her and Warren very much.

Not a bad song on the album and some are absolutely great. This song is one of the greats.

Fantastic song from one of the most versatile and clever wordsmiths ever in the music biz. His feisty wit and attitude are sorely missed!

Did he sing Mad love, shadow love, random love, and Panda love?

It's a shame that the only one of Zevon's songs that most people know is Werewolves of London, whereas his other music, which is all better than that, gets overlooked. This one is outstanding, beautiful and moving, and I love his voice.

Thank you, RadioParadise. You give us the very best. I think I'd die without you... And I'm wondering what will happen when I don't have Internet access, a cell phone, or anything resembling a connection with this place.

Thinking too much - boy, are we all ever spoiled!  We're here, we're listening, we're commenting, and there are so many people out there who don't even have food, much less great music.  I try to put things into perspective and remember that I have it so good... I hope everyone else will take a little time to do the same. 

Geez - Warren Zevon's music just makes me babble on/Babylon.

Love, love, love this tune. Perfect. Miss Warren so much. He was one of the rare ones who never lost his spark, his last album was just a perfect as this one.  Perfect is like infinity, no perfect is more perfect than another perfect... they are all equal at that point. He had more perfect albums in him, but we will never hear them.

TIME/DSotM:

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

There is theme.   Enjoy today - make the most of it.  Wish I had heeded to that advice more stringently......

I picked up this CD many, many years ago when visiting my mum: her local library was having a clearance sale of its CDs (back in the day when such things were lent out), and I paid the princely sum of 50p for it.  I wasn't really aware of Warren up until then, much beyond 'Werewolves of London' which I used to hear on the radio when I was a kid. 

Needless to say the album soon became, and is still is, one of my favourites

I can only guess but, it must be a genetic thing....we just don't see such music mastery in today's music. The artists of this era were just brilliant yet, simplistic. And many a good tunes were created. Thanks RP, for keeping those fond memories alive!! God bless.

Its funny how songs from the past reflect directly on events of the past in ones life. This song has done just that.

When I was a kid in high school, a young man in the service, and a youngish college student this album was always a touchstone that bridged the gap between me and countless friends who listened to everything from nascent rap to punk and new wave.

We could all come together over "Warren The Headless Thompson Gunner", "When Johnny Strikes Up The Band", this track, "Werewolves Of London", the title cut, "Night Time In The Switching Yard"... good memories of great friends.
Rock on Warren. You are/were/always will be part of the soundtrack of my life. {#Bananapiano}

Yeah, strong 9. The only thing keeping it from being a 10 is that "Desperadoes Under the Eaves" already has that slot.

I was a big fan of this album from the start and this song grew on me to become one of my favorites.  Saw him a few times in the 80's in Santa Barbara, once opening up for Fleetwood Mac.  His last album is great also in its tone and honesty.  Miss the Z-man...

Good, but IMO not one of his best.......................unless you're talking about the version on Preludes... In that case, it's one of the most honest songs ever put down in 1s and 0s... He was in his prime then, turning out some brutally frank work— right from his heart to your gut...

I heard somewhere that men die before women because we want to!  This is not a popular viewpoint with my wife, but then again I only bring it up when I think she's being naggy. 

And speaking of my wife, she doesn't mind when I call her or other women chicks.  I think that word has long since lost much of it's negative connotation.  As a rule, any woman I'd consider a chick is cool.  To me, a chick is a girl that I can laugh with, won't get offended if I fart in her presence, can tell a dirty joke, and doesn't carry a dog around in her purse like some kind of fashion accessory.  I'm not sure if netskink is the only one with perspective issues.

This is from Warren's last appearance on Letterman: He noted, "I may have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years." It was during this broadcast that Zevon first offered his oft-quoted insight on facing death: "Enjoy every sandwich."!
