His best-known compositions include "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" and "Johnny Strikes Up the Band", all of which are featured on his third album, Excitable Boy (1978).

Famous quotes by Warren Zevon:
"I'll sleep when I'm dead."
"Poor Poor Pitiful Me."
"Send lawyers, guns and money, the shit has hit the fan."
"This is a song my dad wrote in the late '60s that I discovered in a box of reel-to-reel tapes that were sitting in a storage bin, ... I've had the sheet music for years, but never heard the song until a few months ago and it's one of my favorites. He re-recorded it several years later as 'Steady Rain,' but that was also never released. This version is a combination of the two. It has the tempo and feel, as well as the bridge, from 'Steady Rain,' but the lyrics and instrumentation of 'Warm Rain.'"
"Well, I was interested in playing the piano from as early as I can remember."
"My father was a boxer, though. So, I have a particular interest in Ray Mancini, I think."
"I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That's how I saw him."
"And I think it's safe to say that the single very impressive figure to me was Merle Haggard."
"Enjoy every sandwich."
"My memory is not even what most people's is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this."
"Mutineer is the first album of mine without a demo stage."
"I remember certain lines and whose they are."
"I have no guitar technique."
"I'm not a big jazz fan."
"I had a good guitar, and I was a young, young kid."
"I don't learn so good, no matter how good the teacher is."
"Everywhere I go, I have my little Steinberger, and I like it very well."

Desperados Under the Eaves
by: Warren ZevonI was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
All the salty Margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up
And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like desperadoes under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
But except in dreams you're never really free
Don't the sun look angry at me
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian hotel
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
It went mmm, mmm, mmm
Look away down Gower Avenue, look away
Look away down Gower Avenue, look away
Look away down Gower Avenue, look away
