Those two are also among my favorite Zevon songs. Excitable Boy is also good, and let's not forget Carmelita.

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 sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of the town

let's not forget Carmelita.

For my money, that's the one. One of the essential L.A. songs.

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.

MOST of his best work was done by other musicians. Linda Ronstadt did quite a few of his songs.
