Southbound Pachyderm Lyrics


Quite a surprise
What an ingenious device.
Boredom encompassesmy time.
I don't know what I should do.
Indulging a moment of your time.
Seldom the breeder of lies.
But you won't believe that it's true.

They take to the skies.
Southbound Pachyderm.

Pinholes through cardboard at the sun.
Passing the bucks by one by one, leaving nothing in return.
Watching the majesty blow past.
Speculating which will be the last.
Savoring my piece of pie.

And there is no reprise.
They take to the sky.
Southbound pachyderm.

    Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
    Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
    Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
    Oh, to be Prince Caspian,
    With nothing to return to but the demons in their caves

    Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
    Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
    Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
    Oh, to be Prince Caspian,
    And the children in the fields all sowing seed and chaffing wheat
    Oh, to be Prince Caspian with stumps instead of feet

    Oh to be Prince Caspian
    Oh to be Prince Caspian
    Oh to be Prince Caspian

    Cinnamon Girl Lyrics


    As war drums beat in Babylon
    Cinnamon Girl starts to pray
    I've never heard a prayer like this 1
    Never before that day

    Tearful words of love for people she had never met before
    Asking God to grant them mercy in this face of a holy war

    Cinnamon Girl

    Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage
    Never knew the meaning of color lines
    Nine one one turned that all around
    When she got accused of this crime

    So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi
    What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie?

    Cinnamon Girl

    Don't cry, don't shed no tears
    1 night won't make us feel
    Cause we know how this movie's ending

    Cinnamon Girl

    As war drums beat in Babylon
    And scorch the blood red sky
    Militants bomb the foreign gun
    Both sides truly die

    Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores
    Then she prays after the war that there will not be anymore

    Cinnamon Girl
  • This song has heavy religious undertones. Since Prince was a member of the Jehovah's Witness religion, his writing was influenced by his belief system.

    "The god of confusion" refers to the JWs belief in Satan as the devil. The lyric, "Don't cry, don't shed no tears... cause we know how this movie's ending" refers to an Armageddon the JWs believe will occur. At the end of the song, when "the girl opens the books she knows will settle all the scores," that book is the Bible.

    Prince embraced his new religion after becoming friends with former Sly and the Family Stone bassist Larry Graham, who was a Jehovah's Witness.
  • Prince was nominated for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for this song at the 2005 Grammy Awards but lost to John Mayer's "Daughters."
  • Aside from its title, this song has no connection to Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl."
  • There was a swirl of controversy around the music video for this song, which features actress Keisha Castle-Hughes as a Muslim girl who faces extreme prejudice after the September 11 attacks on the US and dreams of becoming a terrorist herself.

    Not a Bad Man Lyrics


    I am Not a Bad Man
    I want you to know
    I signed up when I was 19
    Now 24 years old

    There’s ghosts that follow me around
    Things I’ve seen and did
    But I am not a bad man
    Just an American kid

    I bet you see a stranger
    When you look at me
    When I look in the mirror
    I know that’s what I see

    Got some pills to get my head right
    But they don’t work so well
    So I drank a little more tonight
    And here is where I fell

    I bet you see a stranger
    When you look at me
    When I look in the mirror
    I know that’s what I see

    I just want a little sleep now
    A sleep that’s silent as snow
    But I am not a bad man
    I just wanted you to know

    Not a Bad Man
  • The American Kid album deals with death in a number of ways. This song tells the story of a young soldier who is sent to fight in Iraq. He makes it back to America, but is traumatized by what he saw there.

    Griffin explained the song's backstory to The Daily Telegraph: "There was a marine who had returned home from Iraq to Austin, Texas, where I live," she said. "A lot of kids got lured in by the marketing campaign and joined up and they weren't really sure who they were fighting. It was after 9/11 and the Twin Towers had come down and these boys were going to go to fight. For me, that was a very terrifying time to be in America and to be an American. Lots of our soldiers came home really damaged after they realised they were harming people they didn't know."

    "I read a story in a paper about a family who were trying to get a young family member out of the military and get him some mental health care. That didn't prove possible and he ended up dead and it wasn't clear whether it was a suicide. So I wrote the song to get inside that kid, if I could."
  • This song is one of the most powerful songs that she has written against war, telling the story of a soldier who becomes the product of a war far more contemporary than the one her father had fought in: World War II.

    The title says something about who the man was and who many soldiers of later times represent. They are not bad men, but are being forced to fight unjust wars, often because they signed up without understanding the consequences.

    Axis
  • This largely instrumental banger was released as the first single from The Pet Shop Boys' twelfth album, Electric. It was debuted on March 22, 2013 at the Cumbre Tajín festival in Veracruz, Mexico and released digitally on May 1, 2013.
  • An extremely negative review of the Pet Shop Boys previous album, Elysium, had an incalculable effect on Electric. "They said they wanted more banging and more strobes," Chris Lowe told Q magazine. So we thought, 'Well, that's what you're going to get, then.'"
  • The Pet Shop duo employed Stuart Price, best known for his work with Madonna and The Killers, to produce Electric. "It was a quick, instinctive record to make," Price said. "But I think that's because a record normally sounds like the time you have making it and we had a lot of fun doing it."
  • The song was inspired by an Italian Disco night in Berlin that the Pet Shop duo attended. Chris Lowe told Electronic Beats magazine that the pair, "got back and felt inspired by the music we'd been listening to—nothing specific, but just the feeling of it all."

    Tennant added "I think it was this track that might have made us decide to do a separate dance album — 'cause this was never going to go on Elysium. There was no option of that at all."
  • This song was inspired by Madonna. Neil Tennant laughed to The Sun: "Axis had a rubbish vocal at first. Then I pretended to be Madonna on 'Erotica' and said it in an American accent. Now when I hear the voice at the start of the show, I don't think of it as me but my alter-ego, 'The Electric voice'."
  • This was titled various times "Electric" and "Turn it On", before the Pet Shop Boys settled on "Axis."
  • Producer Stuart Price told Electronic Beats magazine: "The demo always had the direction and the atmosphere. I sort of always thought it had this sort of futuristic, sort of mystical 'City in the Skies' feel to it, and that's what I loved about it. It was sort of like where Techno met Disco… and that's always what it felt like, so when we were working on it in the studio I think it was just putting it into a place where it could be played in a DJ set now."

    "The BCS-3 is that box you always see Eno with in a Roxy Music video, or on a Bowie record," he continued. "And there's not really anyone alive that can play it, but anyone can sort of stand there and just push it and it will do something. So all this, it's just the sound of those boxes—plus disco bells, equals 'Axis.'"

    You walk in

    Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
    When you’re in this mood there’s no return
    Life’s a gamble, throw my dice

    Fluorescent
  • This moody, murky exploration of nocturnal decadence was the last song written for Electric. The Pet Shop pair had decided that they needed one more track for Electric and by this stage, Chris Lowe and producer Stuart Price were in Berlin and Neil Tennant was in Los Angeles. One morning Tennant woke up to find three e-mails from Lowe with ideas for tracks he'd done at home, all of which he liked. Tennant recalled to Electronic Beats magazine: "I sent it back to Chris and said, 'Why don't we make this the ninth track on the album?' And then we did quite a lot of work on this: put the vocal on, turned it into a song,"

    Shouting In The Evening
  • Vocalist Neil Tennant told Electronic Beats magazine about this song: "There's a quote by the British actor Michael Gambon, who was asked to describe what he did for a living—as an actor obviously—and he said, 'Shouting in the evening!' And the lyric is actually really taken from Lionel Richie 'Dancing On The Ceiling': 'Oh what a feeling, shouting in the evening.' [laughs] No really, it's, 'Oh what a feeling. When you're dancing on the ceiling."'

    "And also, what was great about this," Tennant continued, "what with its unusual structures, as the lyricist I didn't have to come up really with many more lyrics. Amazingly enough, we'd never done 'What? What? What? What?/When? When? When? When?/Why? Why? Why? Why? Now. Now. Now. Now.' So that went in. The vocal manipulation, this was done by Chris (Lowe), in fact."

    I like the people, I like the song
    This is my kind of music
    They play it all night long
    I like the singer, he’s lonely and strange
    Every track has a Vocal, and that makes a change

    And everything about tonight feels right and so young
    And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung

    It’s in the music, it’s in the song
    Everyone I hoped would be around has come around
    For the music
    It’s in the music, it’s in the song
    And the feeling of the one surround us,
    Oh it’s so strong
    It’s in the music

    And everything about tonight feels right and so young
    And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung
    This is my kind of music
    They play it all night long

    Expressing passion
    Explaining pain
    Aspirations for a better life are ordained

    And everything about tonight feels right and so young
    And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung

    Vocal
  • This paean to raving started off as a joke based on the fact that dance songs don't have vocals anymore (Hence the line "I like the singer, he's lonely and strange – every track has a vocal, and that makes a change). However it then turned into something more heartfelt. Vocalist Neil Tennant recalled to Pop Justice : "I can remember us being on the Discovery tour in Brazil, and on the last night of the tour we were all on the dancefloor – me, our dancers, Chris Lowe, Chris Heath, in this club in either Sao Paulo or Rio, and it was just . I remember having a very similar experience when we were somewhere during the era when 'Music Sounds Better With You' was out, which is quite a long time ago…"

    "You couldn't get enough of that record at the time," he continued. "I remember looking around and everyone was just so happy. Also with 'Vocal', while I didn't do the rave thing in 1988 and 1989, Chris saw the light then and I was thinking of that from his perspective. It's actually a very sincere song."
  • The video was produced and directed by the filmmaker and photographer Joost Vandebrug. It contains a collection of amateur footage shot at raves in the late 1980s, as well as material filmed in the infamous Haçienda in Manchester.
  • This was the final track on Electric, the Pet Shop Boys' first independently released album. It was issued through the duo's own x2 label, via Kobalt Label Services.
  • Electric debuted at #26 on the Billboard 200, the Pet Shop Boys' highest charting album in nearly 20 years. They last went higher with 1993's Very, which arrived and peaked at #20.

    The jury's out, won't give me a chance
    Because I don't think the same
    They shut down the court and kidnapped the judge
    Now they sit in his place
    Who are you to make up what's right
    Deciding my fate?
    I know your kind, I have and I will carry on

    No negatives, take your isms stay clear
    We keep it lovely, give you what you won't hear
    And Matisyahu in the house, stand clear
    P.O.D. in the house, stand clear

    No I won't fear
    And Jah of Jacob is deserving of my love
    And God of Isaac reign blessings from above
    Hashem of Abraham will show me the way
    I go down on my knees and this is what I pray

    Strength Of My Life, whom shall I dread
    When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
    Even if there would be an army against me
    My heart would not fear

    Steer clear from weird vibes
    Chuck the spirit evil guise must realize
    Even if there rise a war against me
    In this I trust, it's a must
    Elevated is my head above my enemy
    Surround me with the song of glory
    Take away the scales from my eyes
    Anoint your love upon my life
    Have mercy on my soul and hear me when I cry
    Do not abandon me and do not forsake me
    Leave me on the path of integrity
    Even if there would be an army against me
    My heart would not fear

    Strength of my life, whom shall I dread
    When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
    Back them up against the wall
    Stumble and fall
    Them battle y'all and stand tall
    Show me favor when I call
    Back them up against the wall
    Stumble and fall
    Battle y'all and stand tall

    Roots In Stereo Lyrics


    I got that Boom Bi BI, so nobody disrespect, Jah love
    Give me strength and power flow through my dreads (nuff said)
    You all walk with kings, talk with kinks
    When it all goes down, have no idea what it really means.
    To live by words, if scripture is roots,
    And the wise hold they tongue when the youth speak the truth.
    You learn real quick, where I'm from that you don't belong
    Only the strong survive, So tell me Babylon
    (See Babylon Burnin to the ground yeah)
    We think you nuckles won't win this elector
    Try to sneak up in my hood, we not gon'let ya
    (You see the wicked Babylon burnin to the ground, y'all)
    In the streets they hear your name, they don't respect ya
    You can run and hide, in the end we gon' getcha

    Boom Biddy Bi Bi
    Original Roots In Stereo
    So rep the streets you ride on.
    Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
    And watch the whole world lie down.
    We generals in the streets they know
    Who wears the crown for shine now
    We got that champion sound washing through your town
    We go make the world go lie down.

    Me say, Hey natty dreadlocks where you come from?
    Where the mountains watch the city and waters touch the sun
    Where some carry crosses like others carry guns
    And pray Jah be glorified till the day soon come.
    Follow me
    Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior
    Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
    Lick a shot if you a true souljah
    Now dance your way back to Zion
    (Dance your way back to Zion)

    I put it down for you love, till my journey is done
    And let your story be told how the battle is won
    So I grabbed the microphone and I started to run
    Here I come, Boom Biddy Bi
    Here I come

    Boom Biddy Bi Bi
    Original Roots In Stereo
    So rep the streets you ride on.
    Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
    And watch the whole world lie down.
    We generals in the streets they know
    Who wears the crown for shine now
    We got that champion sound washing through your town
    We go make the world go lie down.

    Empty nation just a phase, redemptions on it's way.
    The people love to talk but they don't got that much to say.
    Generation of orphans whose hearts are all ablaze,
    Little light in a lot of darkness goes a long way.
    Freedom, hearts bleed, an see them beating on a poison.
    Poor choices, spirits screamin, trying to break these boundaries.
    Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.
    Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.

    Original Roots In Stereo
    So rep the streets you ride on.
    Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
    And watch the whole world lie down.
    We generals in the streets they know
    Who wears the crown for shine now
    We got that champion sound washing through your town
    We go make the world go lie down.
    We go make the world go lie down.
    Make the world go lie down.
    We go make the world go lie down.
    Make the world go lie down.
    Gods name is rushing through my veins
    Lay down trippin through the pain
    Get up, you forgot your own tray, raisin' it up, raisin' it up, raisin' it up
    The blood of God reigns, we gotta maintain and that's the way
    And this may change, for the reason and the season
    Then I'll stay up my halo, and raise up your lovin, you know.
    We go make the world go lie down.
    Make the world go lie down.
    We go make the world go lie down.

    Roots In Stereo
  • This song is a collaboration with the reggae artist Matisyahu, who performs on the track. P.O.D. lead singer Sonny Sandoval said: "The chorus is really about representing the things that you're about. When Matis (Matisyahu) came in, he really put his faith into the song, which totally blended with us. Musically, that's one of those songs that has the signature P.O.D. sound, reflecting all the diverse things we're into."

    If Only You Could See Me Now
  • Lead singer Sonny Sandoval : "I think this is one of those songs where it was just a feeling and you can find whatever meaning you want in it. Truby had originally written the music for his adopted son, Elijah. To him, the lyrics reflect what Elijah would tell his biological mother. For me, it's about my mother or my grandfather. It's an extremely emotional song."
  • This song was the last song written and recorded for the album.

    Any Colour You Like Lyrics


    Any Colour You Like
  • The title is often attributed to something Henry Ford said about the Model T automobile: "You can have it any color you like... as long as it's black!" According to The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia , however, the song title is from a catch phrase used by former Pink Floyd road manager Chris Adamson. When asked for a guitar, Adamson would respond, "Any colour you like, they're all blue." He may have picked this up from local street traders in Cambridge.
  • This is an instrumental that is musically similar to "Breathe," and is unofficially called "Breathe (2nd reprise)."
  • The song used advanced effects for the time both in the keyboard and the guitar. The VCS 3 synthesizer was fed through a long tape loop to create the rising and falling keyboard solo. David Gilmour used 2 guitars with the UniVibe guitar effect to create the harmonizing guitar solo for the rest of the song.
  • Roger Waters, in an interview with the author Phil Rose, stated: "In Cambridge where I lived, people would come from London in a van - a truck - open the back and stand on the tailboard of the truck, and the truck's full of stuff that they're trying to sell. And they have a very quick and slick patter, and they're selling things like crockery, china, sets of knives and forks. All kinds of different things, and they sell it very cheap with a patter. They tell you what it is, and they say 'It's ten plates, lady, and it's this, that, and the other, and eight cups and saucers, and for the lot I'm asking NOT ten pounds, NOT five pounds, NOT three pounds... fifty bob to you!,' and they get rid of this stuff like this. If they had sets of china, and they were all the same colour, they would say, 'You can 'ave 'em, ten bob to you, love. Any colour you like, they're all blue.' And that was just part of that patter. So, metaphorically, 'Any Colour You Like' is interesting, in that sense, because it denotes offering a choice where there is none. And it's also interesting that in the phrase, 'Any colour you like, they're all blue,' I don't know why, but in my mind it's always 'they're all blue', which, if you think about it, relates very much to the light and dark, sun and moon, good and evil. You make your choice but it's always blue."

    Review Your Choices Lyrics


    Man and woman try to keep a tie
    While looking at what passes by
    Village thieves and all the tramps
    Somewhere someone left some gaps
    Look before you leap my friend
    Should God take you in his hand
    It's a very small price for your sins you spend
    And there's a man with a pitchfork around the bend

    Alright
    The evil churns, you'll start to burn
    But will you crack, you can't turn back, oh no
    Review all of your choices now
    There's no one 'round to show you how
    But the hand comin' down has a-reached it's end
    You know who's still around the bend

    Review Your Choices
  • Satanism in Heavy Metal is a misunderstood trope, with the songs often reflecting more complex views on religion than simply blind allegiance to the Devil. Much of it is also theatrics - AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and a host of lesser Metalmen have created a buzz with hints of Beelzebub in their lyrics.

    Pentagram, however, had a more sincere interest in the subject, as evidenced by their band name. "Review Your Choices," written by lead singer Bobby Liebling , explains that there is an alternative to God which is worthy of consideration. When we spoke with Liebling in 2013, he explained: "I remember I was real deep into Satanism, which is the wrong way to go. I'll tell you that right now, I don't care how self serving you are. You don't step on people's faces to get there. I learned that the hard way."

  • The lyrics are entirely in Māori, and the song topped the New Zealand pop chart in 1984. The words were written by Ngoi Pewhairangi, and the music was written by Dalvanius Prime, who died on October 3, 2002 at the age of 54. He made great contributions to his Patea community, to Māori culture, and to New Zealand's national identity. This song was his way of giving courage and inspiration to confused young urban Māori.

    Build God, Then We'll Talk Lyrics


    It's these substandard motels
    On the corner of 4th and Freemont Street
    Appealing, only because they're just that unappealing
    Any practiced Catholic would cross themselves upon entering
    The rooms have a hint of asbestos
    And maybe just a dash of formaldehyde
    And the habit of decomposing right before your very eyes
    Along with the people inside

    What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
    Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

    Tonight tenants range from a lawyer and a virgin
    Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
    She's getting a job at the firm come Monday
    The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
    Moonlighting aside, she really needs his money
    A wonderful caricature of intimacy

    And not to mention, the constable
    And his proposition, for that virgin
    Yes, the one the lawyer met with on strictly business
    As he said to the Mrs.
    Well, only hours before, after he had left
    She was fixing her face in a compact
    There was a terrible crash
    Between her and the badge
    She spilled her purse and her bag
    And held a "purse" of a different kind
    Along with the people inside

    What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
    Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

    There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
    It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
    At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
    And a few more of your least favorite things

    Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
    It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
    At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
    And a few more of your least favorite things

    Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
    Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

    Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
    It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
    At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
    And a few more of your least favorite things

    Raindrops on roses and the girls in white dresses
    And the sleeping with the roaches and the taking best guesses
    At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
    And a few more of your least favorite things

    Build God, Then We'll Talk
  • This song follows a girl who sleeps around to get what she wants in life. It is also about deceit: A lawyer tells his good friend the constable about this "Virgin," who sleeps with the constable to get a job at the firm. He is cheating on his wife with said virgin, and even takes his wife's purse and replaces it with one of another color, presumably to pay for the sex.
  • The lyrics, "There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses, it's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses, at the shade of the sheets before all the stains, and a few more of your least favorite things" refer to the song "My Favorite Things" as sung by Julie Andrews' character (a nun) in The Sound of Music.
  • "Build god and then we'll talk" is a quote from Chuck Palahniuk's book Choke. Panic has drawn inspiration for many of their song titles from his books.

    Hey baby, you go your way
    And Ill go mine
    But in the meantime

    When we're together, touchin' each other
    And our bodies do what we feel
    When were dancin', smoochin' and swayin'
    Tender love song softly playin'

    Move Closer
    Move your body real close
    Until we-ee-ee-ee
    Feel like we're really makin' love

    Ooh-ooh, move closer
    Move your body real close
    Until we feel like we're really makin' love

    So when I say sugar-are and I whisper I love vou
    We-e-ell I know you're gonna answer in the sweetest voice
    Sayin' my pretty la-ady
    I love you too-oo-oo-oo-ooh well

    There's much room for passion, ooh-no-no
    There's no room for fears
    When, the love flows smoothly between us, baby
    My dear-ear-ear-ear-ear

    Move
    Move closer
    Move your body real close
    Until we feel like we're really makin' love

    Woh-oh-oh, move closer
    Move your body real close (fade)

    Move Closer
  • Phyllis Nelson was an American soul singer who became a one-hit wonder in the UK, when this song rose to the top of the charts in 1985. This was originally released in April 1984 but failed to chart. When re-released in 1985 after BBC Radio London started to play it, the song began to climb the charts, taking 11 weeks to climb to #1.
  • Nelson wrote this herself. She became the first black female artist to write and record her own UK #1.
  • Phyllis Nelson is quoted in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh: "That song was really written with people in mind. I had the idea back in 1979. I thought about the public and it seemed to me that people had drifted apart physically and musically. Not much music lets you dance close anymore so I thought I'd write a song you could really dance close to. But I was also thinking about my husband as well, because with the job he had and me being away a lot, we don't see each other too often. It came so easily and weird how the lyrics just fell out of my mouth, it was like the song had been written by someone else."
  • Tom Jones returned the song to the charts in 1989 when his version reached #49.
  • In 1994 this became a hit again for Nelson, reaching #34 after being featured in an advert for Soft & Gentle deodorant.
  • This was the only UK chart topper of the year not to have a video.
  • Phyllis' son, Marc Nelson, was a founding member of Boyz II Men but left to become a solo artist before they became well known. In 1999 he had a #27 hit in the US with "15 Minutes."

    A Sign Of The Times Lyrics


    It's A Sign Of The Times
    That your love for me is getting so much stronger
    It's a sign of the times
    And I know that I won't have to wait much longer
    You've changed a lot somehow from the one I used to know
    For when you hold me now, it feels like you never want to let me go

    It's a sign of the times
    That you call me up whenever you feel lonely
    It's a sign of the times
    That you tell your friends that I'm your one and only
    I'll never understand the way you treated me
    But when I hold your hand, I know you couldn't be the way you used to be

    Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine
    Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine, mmh

    I'll never understand the way you treated me
    But when I hold your hand, I know you couldn't be the way you used to be

    Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine
    Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine

    It's a sign of the times
    That you kiss me now as if you really mean it
    It's a sign of the times
    And a year ago I never could have seen it
    Don't ever change your mind and take your love away
    Just leave the past behind and, baby, only think of how it is today

    It's a sign of the times
    It's a sign of the times
    It's a sign of the times
    It's a sign of the times

    It's a sign of the times

    A Sign Of The Times
  • You would expect a song from the '60s called "A Sign Of The Times" to have a heavy political or social context, kind like the Prince song with a similar title. There is no weighty meaning in this one, however, as Petula sings about a guy who has finally stopped neglecting her, and she couldn't be happier. Like most of Petula's hits, it was written by the British songwriter Tony Hatch.
  • In our 2013 interview with Petula Clark , we asked her what she thought of this song when she heard it. "I loved it," she replied. "It had a slightly different feel. 'A Sign of the Times,' I suppose you might expect some big political statement or something, but it was just a straight ahead love song. I think Tony [Hatch] rather liked finding titles that made you think, like 'Don't Sleep In The Subway.' People would think, is it about drugs? Is it about this? And these were just straightforward songs."
  • In 1999, this song was used in a commercial for the department store of Target, emphasizing how the store has changed with the times.
