This is a Beautiful song by Ricky Lee Jones that is full of Delicious Metaphors about Cars and a Gas Station as Representing a Turning Point in Two Peoples Lives. Rickie Lee Jones The Last Chance TexacoA long stretch of headlights Bends into I-9 Tiptoe into truck stops And sleepy diesel eyes Volcanoes rumble in the taxi And glow in the dark Camels in the driver's seat A slow, easy mark But you ran out of gas Down the road a piece Then the battery went dead And now the cable won't reach... It's your last chance To check under the hood Last chance She ain't soundin' too good, Your last chance To trust the man with the star You've found the last chance Texaco Well, he tried to be Standard He tries to be Mobil He tried living in a world And in a shell There was this block-busted blonde He loved her - free parts and labor But she broke down and died She threw all the rods he gave her But this one ain't fuel-injected Her plug's disconnected She gets scared and she stalls She just needs a man, that's all It's her last chance Her timing's all wrong Her last chance She can't idle this long Her last chance Turn her over and go Pullin' out of the last chance texaco The last chance

Today's series of three songs is From ELO's 1981 Concept Album "Time". The songs are from the begining, middle, and end of the Album and give a nice short version of the Theme that carries through all of the songs. In the opening song "Twilight" (which actually has a Disco Beat) our Protagonist is abruptly but willingly seduced and swept by a Time Traveler from the Future from his comfortable life in 1981 into the Distant Future. Strangely, none of the Videos have anything to do with the Albums Theme (Two Homemade Videos of Twilight below). The Prologue alone gives me Goosebumps prior to the Majestic Opening Number. Prologue: Just on the Border Of Your Waking Mind There Lies Another Time Where Darkness and Light are One And as you Tread the Halls of Sanity You Feel so Glad to Be Unable to Go Beyond I Have a Message From Another Time... ELO - Twilight The visions dancing in my mind The early dawn, the shades of time Twilight crawling through my windowpane Am I awake or do I dream? The strangest pictures I have seen Night is day and twilight's gone away With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between... CHORUS: Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. Across the night I saw your face You disappeared without a trace You brought me here, but can you take me back? Inside the image of your light That now is day and once was night You lead me here and then you go away. REPEAT CHORUS (You brought me here, but can you take me back again?) With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies REPEAT CHORUS Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight.

The Second Song is in the middle of the Time Concept Album. Despite the Wonders of the Future our Alienated Protagonist finds it a Cold and Sterile Place. He is getting Lonley and Longinig for his old Life and Love he left back in 1981. He even gets an Android Girlfriend which only makes him miss his real girlfirend even more. It has a kind of Roy Orbison feel to it. This Song has Inspired many Homemade Videos Unfortunately all of them Cheesey. ELO - The Way Life's Meant To BeWell, I came a long way to be here today And I left you so long on this avenue And here I stand in the strangest land Not knowing what to say or do As I gaze around at these strangers in town I guess the only stranger is me And I wonder (yes, I wonder) Yes, I wonder (oh, I wonder) Is this the way life's meant to be? Although it's only a day since I was taken away And left standing here looking in wonder (It's your life, it's your life) Ah, the ground at my feet, maybe it's just the old street But everything that I know lies under (It's your life, it's your life) And when I see what they've done To this place that was home Shame is all that I feel Oh, and I wonder (oh, I wonder) Yes, I wonder (wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder) Is this the way life's meant to be? Too late, too late to cry The people say Too late for you, too late for me You've come so far, now you know everything my friend Look and see the wonders of our world... And I wonder (oh, I wonder) Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder) Is this the way life's meant to be? As I wander around this wreck of a town Where people never speak aloud With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers I wish I was back in 1981 Just to see your face instead of this place Now I know what you mean to me And I wonder (oh, I wonder) Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder) Is this the way life's meant to be? And I wonder (oh, I wonder) Yes, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder Is this the way life's meant to be? Ooohh, I wonder Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder Is this the way life's meant to be? Oh, is this the way life's meant to be? Mmmmm, is this the way life's meant to be? I wanna know now Is this the way life's meant to be?

In the final Song the People of the Future Finally Relent and allow our Protagonist to return to the Past (However much Time has Elapsed since he left). He finds everything dramatically changed from what he once knew. He Desparately tries to find his Old Love Julie but finds she has Moved On and he is left Alienated and in a World as Unfamiliar as the Future one he Just Left. Musically the song has a sort of "Abba" feel to it. The Video has more Cheesey Anime. [video src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?[/img]v=FZvE3FWw74g"][/video] (better quality Sound) ELO - Julie Don't Live Here AnymoreI wander through the town A town I knew so well but it seems so strange The wind blows cold I remember when I thought your street was paved with gold I walked along the street A street I walked along many times before The things have changed Everything I ever knew was gone or rearranged Chorus: Julie don't live here anymore She moved away many years before How can it be, this I can't believe Julie don't live here anymore I walked up to your door Last night I saw your face in the window But it was different now The lonely light where we used to be quite gone I thought about your smile Your laughing eyes and the things you said to me I felt so sorry for you For all the nights we spent hanging around with nothing else to do Chorus Chorus Julie don't live here anymore Julie don't live here anymore Julie don't live here anymore

Brett Dennen - Ain't Gonna Lose YouYou can put a stick in my spokes I can be the butt of your jokes I can be the laughing stock, I can be your hoax But I aint gonna lose you They can come and tear my house down They can run me out of town They can tie me up, call me a clown But I ain't gonna lose you I can't stand The thought of another man They can make me turn my back on my friends Send me away to up in san quentin Put me in the hole, a thousand times again But I ain't gonna lose you Throw me in a hurricane Tell the whole world I've gone insane Run an electric shock to my brain But I ain't gonna lose you I can't stand The thought of another man I'll sing it from my roof top I'll sing it from the bus stop I'll sing it on the street drunk to a cop But I ain't gonna lose you

The Jayhawks - She Walks In So Many WaysShe walks in so many ways, She wonders alone in the shame, She shakes herself in the dust, And whispers all things will be silenced. She turns herself with the scene, Clouds burst, our eyes never meet ..slow as a.. in the sunshine. Where you go, don’t let go, Where you stand I will stand stronger than the wind. We live in houses of light, Our dreams stay with us at night, She whispers all things is all right, All things are just as they should be! Goodbye… She moves among them, She lives among them. Where you go, don’t let go, Where you stand I will stand stronger than the wind. She walks in so many ways, She wonders alone in the shame, She shakes herself in the dust, And whispers all things will be silenced.

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Her green plastic watering can For her fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself It wears her out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins It wears him out, it wears him out It wears him out, it wears him out She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run It wears me out, it wears me out It wears me out, it wears me out If I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted all the time All the time... All the time...

This Song was Originally done by "The La's" but I really like the Sixpence Version Better. Lead Singer Leigh Nash is the most Adorable Woman in Rock-n-Roll. Note Actor Adam Goldberg in the Video. Sixpence None The Richer - There She Goes (Live 2000) Sixpence - There She GoesThere she goes There she goes again Racing through my brain And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes There she goes again Pulsing through my veins And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes There she goes again Racing through my brain And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes There she goes again She calls my name, Pulls my train No one else could heal my pain And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes There she goes again Chasing down my lane And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes There she goes There she goes

One of my Favorite All Time Songs. Some Very Heavy Stuff in this Epic. "Written by alternative rock band Jane's Addiction, "Three Days" was inspired by Xiola Blue, who came to Los Angeles for her father's funeral, and spent three days with frontman Farrell and his girlfriend in what was quoted as "a haze of sex and drugs." Though the song was written prior to Xiola Blue's death of a heroin overdose in 1987, the song was released in 1990, and the poem at the beginning makes light of this, in memory. The guitar solo is also ranked as #100 on Guitar World's Best Guitar Solos of all time." Janes Addiction - Three DaysOpening Poem: At this moment you should be with us feeling like we do like you love to but never will again I miss you my dear Xiola I prepared the room tonight with Christmas lights a city of candles fresh sheets we are all filled with dense clouds that have us sunk into the mattress I need to touch your skin... an alien she was... No one made friends as easily as Xiola... Drug pushing constructors We were always in the audience that plagued her. One night I met a poet... Lyrics: Three days was the morning My focus three days old My head, it landed, to the sound of cricket bows... I am a proud man anyway... Covered now by three days... Three days was the morning Three lovers, in three ways We knew when she landed, three days she'd stay I am a proud man anyway... Covered now by three days... We saw shadows of the morning light The shadows of the evening sun Till the shadows and the lights were one We saw shadows of the morning light The shadows of the evening sun Till the shadows and the lights were one... True hunting is over No herds to follow Without game, men prey on each other The family weakens by the bite we swallow... True leaders gone, of land and people We choose no kin but adopted strangers The family weakens by the lengths we travel... All of us with wings... All of us with wings... All of us with wings! All of us with wings! All of us with wings! All of us with wings! Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys Loves his Marys Bits of puzzle, fitting each other All of us with wings! "Oh my Marys! Never wonder... Night is shelter from nudity's shiver..." All of us with wings...
