== Music and lyrics == "Excitable Boy" and "Werewolves of London" were considered macabrely humorous by some critics.<ref name=PM/> The historical "Veracruz" dramatizes the [[United States occupation of Veracruz]]. It was the first song Zevon wrote with [[Jorge Calderón]]. Likewise, "[[Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner]]" is a fictionalized account of former mercenary David Lindell's experiences in [[Africa]]. "[[Lawyers, Guns and Money]]" is a tongue-in-cheek tale of a young American man's adventures in [[Cold War]]-era [[Latin America]]. In addition, there are two [[ballad]]s about life and relationships ("Accidentally Like a Martyr" and "Tenderness on the Block"), as well as the [[funk]]/[[disco]]-inspired "Nighttime in the Switching Yard".
