That's Life Lyrics

That's Life, that's what people say
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, that's life
And I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come here this July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my

That's Life

The "scowl" in Sinatra's voice was a result of producer Jimmy Bowen telling Sinatra, after the recording session, to get out of his car and back in the studio to re-record the vocal. This made Frank VERY angry, which is evident in the song. That was the exact "feel" that Bowen wanted.

This very optimistic song was written by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon. Kay became a successful music publisher, and Gordon made a mark as a producer. Sinatra had a lot of ups and downs in his personal and professional life, and this song was a great showcase for his spirit and resilience. The phrase "That's Life" is often used to convey disappointment, but here Sinatra sees all the good things that life brings.

This was one of two Sinatra songs - the other being "Strangers in the Night" - prominently featured in the '80s comedy License to Drive. Les (Corey Haim) takes his crush (Heather Graham) out for a wild night in his grandpa's Cadillac, which has a Sinatra cassette stuck in the tape player. This song plays when Les and his friends frantically chase a drunk who steals the car for a joyride (and sings along to Sinatra's tune).

No Entry Lyrics

No Entry Song Chart

This two-and-a-half-minute track is autobiographical. According to Sham 69: History, Discography And Biography (published circa 1978), Sham 69 were lined up for a short US tour, but lead vocalist Jimmy Pursey got involved in an incident at the Vortex which led to him being arrested. In turn this led to the American Embassy refusing him a visa, so with guitarist Dave Parsons he wrote this charming ditty, which ends with the words: "stick America up your arse."

In contrast, if you listen closely you may hear something resembling "The Star Spangled Banner" in the melody at one point.

"No Entry" was released on the Polydor label in October 1978 as the B-side of "Hurry Up Harry." (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England, for above 2)

Angels With Dirty Faces Lyrics

Who's got a dirty face then

Angels With Dirty Faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you

Running fighting down the street
Ain't got no money but I don't cry
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go

Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you

I'm never sad but sometimes lonely
Doing things someones told me
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go

Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you

Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you

I'm a rebel stuck with a label
Trying to be someone in life
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go

Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kid's like me and you

Angels With Dirty Faces Song Chart

"Angels With Dirty Faces" was co-written by lead vocalist Jimmy Pursey and guitarist Dave Parsons. It was released on the Polydor label backed by the renamed "The Cockney Kids Are Innocent."

Engineered by Peter Wilson, it was produced by Wilson and Pursey.

Sham 69's second single on Polydor - their third in all - the song is about the band's fans, although it takes its name from the 1938 James Cagney gangster film Angels With Dirty Faces. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England, for above 2)
