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.
Zeppelin never left her
Never died or second guessed her, painted on her body
The stars would never hurt her
Never lie, never desert her
Painted on her body
She prayed to God when she was young
After the storm a calm would come above her
I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Mother moves to town again
Holds her upside down again said it's nice to see her
Brendan now youâ??ve got to come sheâ??s where I get my smile from
Iâ??d like for you to meet her
Now Andrea was paint and pride a step behind oh how she tried
I loved her
And all she wore from head to floor was shades of green from our store
I loved her oh oh oh
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
And oh, oh, oh, all for me she cried
And oh, oh, oh, all for love
In retrospect wish I
Could have said three words that night
All me, all me, all me
Now, green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Never died or second guessed her, painted on her body
The stars would never hurt her
Never lie, never desert her
Painted on her body
She prayed to God when she was young
After the storm a calm would come above her
I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Mother moves to town again
Holds her upside down again said it's nice to see her
Brendan now youâ??ve got to come sheâ??s where I get my smile from
Iâ??d like for you to meet her
Now Andrea was paint and pride a step behind oh how she tried
I loved her
And all she wore from head to floor was shades of green from our store
I loved her oh oh oh
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
And oh, oh, oh, all for me she cried
And oh, oh, oh, all for love
In retrospect wish I
Could have said three words that night
All me, all me, all me
Now, green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
i love the melody in this song and the way the words flow. its simply amazing.
This song Brendan actually wrote about a girl who he used to work with at Urban Outfitters named andrea and her favorite color is green and basically how that color always reminds him of her. I think its a cute story!
im just listening to this song for the first time on his myspace and it's just so beautiful. so so beautiful...
my favorite color is green and this is just a cute little story.
and the piano... i think the melody is perfect and it all just sways together.
it makes me think of lush fields near a pond and a girl with flowers in her hair and a boy looking adoringly after her.
I adore this song from start to finish. Wow.
"She prayed to God when she was young After the storm a calm would come above her I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her"
I LOVE THIS PART. He's saying he wanted to be the one who makes her happy pretty much.
This song is just about a boy adoring a girl who loves green.
