Very Busy People Lyrics

We'll end up numb from playing video games
We'll get sick of having sex
And we'll get fat from eating candy
As we drink ourselves to death

We'll stay up late making mix tapes
And photoshopping pictures of ourselves
As we masturbate to those pixelated videos
Of strangers fuckin themselves

We are Very Busy People
We are very busy people

There are crusty sox and boxes making trails straight to the bed
And when we're done sleeping
We'll stay busy dreaming of the things we don't have yet

Well there's a long long list of chores and shit
To do before we play
Let's just piss away the day
Crank-call the cops down at the station
Just for friends conversation
Requesting songs they never play

Lets hear the on that goes:
We are very busy people
We are very busy people
But we always got time for new friends

So come over and knock on our door
It's open, what you waitin for?
We might be sprawled out on the floor
But we still make lovely company
Pull up a chair
Ill pour some tea
We'll shoot the shit 'bout everything
Till you get tired and flip on the TV screen
We stare at the TV screen

That Danny Darki DVD has been repeating for a week
We know every single word
I've got an iPod like a pirate ship
I'll sail the seas with fifty thousand songs I've never heard

All the best of them go
Fa-la-la-la-la-la

We are very busy people
We are very busy people
But we've always got time for new friends

Fa-la-la-la-la-la

Very Busy People

The Limousines could have happened only in the Internet era: their members Giovanni Giusti and Eric Victorino were introduced online, and made their first music before ever meeting face-to-face. While they use modern technology to their advantage, they also wonder if it is having a negative effect on society in some ways. When we asked Victorino , who writes their lyrics and fronts the duo, about this song, he replied: "It used to be that the only people who had to deal with a constant flow of information all day and all night were people like Air Traffic Controllers - very high stress lifestyle. But now we're all in our own little control towers, doing all this work with this information - none of it is as important as it seems. None of it is as urgent as we think it is. But we feel important when we feel busy, don't we?"

After their song "New Year's Resolution" garnered airplay on the San Francisco radio station Live 105, The Limousines signed a deal with Universal Republic to release "Very Busy People" as a single. The song was issued in 2009 and got some national attention. The record company then asked the duo to record a full-length album, and gave them just two months to do it. Eric and Gio knew they couldn't deliver a quality album in such a short timeframe, so they left the label and released their debut Get Sharp on their own in 2010. "We knew the money would be gone pretty quick, but that s--tty album would be there forever," Eric said.

The Limousines signed with Dangerbird Records in 2011, but left when the label fell into turmoil. Their next release, the 2013 album Hush, was funded by a Kickstarter campaign and released independently.

Reflecting Light Lyrics

Now that I've worn out
I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm Reflecting Light

I rode the pain down
Got off and looked up
Looked into your eyes
The lost open windows
All around
My dark heart lit up the skies

Now that I've worn out
I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light

Give up the ground
Under your feet
Hold on to nothing for good
Turn and run at the mean dogs
Chasing you
Stand-alone and misunderstood

Now that I've worn out
I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light

Reflecting Light

Sam Phillips is a huge fan of Jeff Bridges' performance in The Big Lebowski, so she jumped at the chance to write a song for his turn as an aging, alcoholic singer in Crazy Heart, a film co-produced by her longtime collaborator and former husband T Bone Burnett. She sought inspiration from '60s-era ballads to fit the pace of the slow-burning drama. "I was very proud to have a song in it," she told Magnet Magazine. "I wouldn't have called that one, I've gotta tell you. But T Bone fought hard for that. He felt that [Maggie Gyllenhaal's character's] moment needed to be more tender and not like the rest of the score. It was her moment, not his moment. For that, it worked well."

T Bone also co-composed music for the film and won a Grammy, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "The Weary Kind" (along with Ryan Bingham).

Awake Lyrics

Awake

The Canadian rocker Devin Townsend first cut his chops as lead singer for Steve Vai 's band in 1993. He has since released a series of albums under his own name, with his group Strapping Young Lad, and as Devin Townsend Project. This song comes from the second Devin Townsend Project album. In our interview with Townsend, he told us the story behind it:

"Awake" was a dream. I often go through periods where songs appear in dreams and scenarios appear in dreams, and I wake up in the middle of the night sort of humming the melody and then recognize it: "Oh, wow, that's something that is new." And if I'm prepared enough and aware enough, I can scramble out of bed and jot it down. A fair amount from my back catalogue that is written in that sense, and "Awake" was one of them. That whole rhythm was from this dream, and I just woke up singing the melody. I mumbled it into my iPhone and emailed it to myself and fell back asleep. When I woke up and listened to the email, I was like, "Oh, that's actually not that bad." So I wrote that one down.

Lyrically, it was about that period of time where my process was changing from writing like a stoner to writing like a dad. The slant I was trying to go for lyrically was about taking your head out of the smog that it had been in for a certain period of time and recognizing what could potentially be there.

Girl Named Tennessee Lyrics

They say this lasts forever
That's just what I'm afraid of
I'll never dance like this again
She smiled like a Georgia summer
She laughs with the sound of thunder
I wanna dance like this again

I'm not the marryin' kind
I've said a thousand times
But I've never danced like this before
She's got them pretty little shoes
And I love the way she moves
I wanna dance like this again

I was free and far from home
I was young and on my own
I was blind as I could be
Thinkin' love was not for me
Till the night I met the Girl Named Tennessee

Lights came down
and the room spun slow
Started sayin' she had to go
Don't go baby I didn't get your name
She said Don't worry
I did not say

Oh she danced away with my
Heart and soul
Who she was I will
never know

Danced away with my
Hopes and dreams
My sweet girl from Tennessee

When I'm Small Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Lucy's underground
She's got a mouth to feed
Am I underground
Or am I in between

Lucy's underground
She's got a mouth to feed
Am I underground
Or am I in too deep

Show me love
You've got your hand on the button now
Showin' love
You've got your hand on the button now

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Lucy's underground,
She's never comin' back
Am I still alive
Or has the light gone black

Take me underground
Take me all the way
Bring me to the fire
Throw me in the flame

So, show me love
You've got your hands on the button now
Showin' love
You've got your hand on the button now

I'd rather die,
I'd rather die,
Than to be with you

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
(than to be with you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
(I'd rather die)
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Phantogram denied the accusations stating their drums were not taken from the Entley record.

Community Property Lyrics

I would give you the stars in the sky
But they're too far away
If you were a hooker, you'd know
I'd be happy to pay
If suddenly you were a guy
I'd be suddenly gay

[Chorus]
Cause my heart belongs to you
My love is pure and true
My heart belongs to you
But my cock is Community Property

You're the only girl that I like to screw
When I'm not on the road
When I come home, my dinner's made
And the front lawn is mowed
I'll kiss your mouth
Even after you swallow my load

[Chorus]

I wanna make it clear
So you retain it
My dick's a free spirit
And you can't restrain it
No, you just can't chain it down

I love you so much it hurts
From my head to my feet
I think of you and I can't
Help but fondle my meat
I see your face every time
That I go out and cheat

[Chorus]

Community Property Song Chart

In this song, Steel Panther lead singer Michael Starr has a message for his favorite girl: his heart belongs to her. It's a conditional sentiment, however, as he reminds her that his c--k is community property, since he is a rock star, after all.

Steel Panther, like Spinal Tap, are legitimate musicians who take on the personas of wildly overblown rock stars.

The first line in this song, "I would give you the stars in the sky," is the kind of thing you hear in many popular love songs (as a comedian we heard pointed out, "that stuff isn't yours to give").

In our interview with Steel Panther guitarist Satchel , he said that he got the idea for this song when he was working out at the gym, and they were playing a Top 40 radio station. A song came on with some exceptionally trite and sappy lyrics, and that got him thinking about using these same sentiments, but with a Steel Panther twist. That's when he came up with the kicker line: "My c--k is community property."

Said Satchel: "Nobody really believes it when you tell them that your heart belongs to them, but they totally believe you when you say you're going to cheat on them."

The video was directed by the brothers Brendan and Emmett Malloy, whose other work includes the White Stripes' "Icky Thump" and Jack Johnson's "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing."

The video uses the clean version of the song, with his "dong" being community property.
