Wanted Dead or Alive

Mercury, under Universal. The work is the tour. The home is what he keeps leaving.

Mercury released it. Universal owns Mercury. Strip the bandana and it is a man whose job will not let him come inside. That is a real cost. The song likes the cost a little too much.

A house can hear it as the bill for a life of leaving. Do not hear it as permission to stay gone.

The eight

Industry
6/10
A chorus built for a room that already knows the words.
Household
4/10
A horse, a highway, no kitchen. The house is the thing behind him.
Piety
3/10
The west is a costume, not a reverence.
Courage
6/10
He stays at the work when it costs sleep and a home.
Republic
4/10
A crowd, not a town.
Temperance
5/10
The night is long. It is not a spree.
Truth
5/10
The loneliness is true. The cowboy picture is borrowed.
Stewardship
5/10
A picture of work that never lands. Useful as a warning.

Live historicallyIf someone in the house is always 'on the road,' play this and ask what the song never shows: the table he is not at.

Free Fallin'

MCA, under Universal. He tells on himself. The town he leaves is the good one.

MCA released it. Universal holds MCA. People sing the chorus as freedom. The verses list a girl's goodness and then his exit.

Sing it only if you will say who is actually free, and who is just gone.

A riff a porch can play. That is a kind of craft.

A good girl, a hometown. He is glad to be rid of both.

3/10
No reverence for the place that made him.
Courage
4/10
The nerve is used to leave, not to stay.
Republic

A freeway. He will not be a citizen of the town.
Temperance
4/10
The fall is the pleasure.
Truth
7/10
He does not pretend he is the wounded one.
Stewardship

A confession, if the house hears it as one.

Live historicallyAfter the chorus, name the good thing he is falling away from.
