Golden Slumbers Lyrics

Once there was a way,
To get back homeward.

Once there was a way
To get back home.

Sleep, pretty darling,
Dot not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Golden Slumbers,
Fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Once there was a way
To get back homeward

Once there was a way
To get back home

Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Golden Slumbers Song Chart

This song was based on a 17th century poem by Thomas Dekker called Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes:

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Rock them, rock them, lullaby
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you
You are care, and care must keep you
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Rock them, rock them, lullaby

Paul McCartney wrote this on his stepsister's piano. He saw the song "Golden Slumbers" in her songbook and, unable to read music, made up his own using most of the original lyrics.

According to Mark Lewisohn's The Beatles Recording Sessions, McCartney recorded this song on July 2, 1969, a day after Lennon suffered injuries from a car accident in Scotland that left him in a hospital until July 6th. So Lennon did not perform on this song. George Harrison played bass guitar as Paul was playing piano.

Recorded as one song with "Carry That Weight," this is part of a suite of songs at the end of Abbey Road. It was the last album The Beatles recorded, although it was released before Let It Be.

Maintenance Man Lyrics

Maintenance Man Song Chart

Not to be confused with Toby Keith's "High Maintenance Woman," this lascivious scorcher is one of the more blues-inflected songs in Adkins canon. It finds him telling a girl that he can satisfy her every need in the bedroom.

On his 2015 Live Country! DVD, Adkins explained: "I was talking to a guy, and he said, 'I bet that girl is high maintenance.' I said, 'I don't have a problem with that - I'm your maintenance man, baby. I'll take care of you.'"

Adkins says this is one of the "nastiest" songs he's ever written. "It's a little embarrassing to sing in front of your mama," he adds.

Polythene Pam Lyrics

Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam.
Yeah yeah yeah

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built.
Yeah yeah yeah.

Polythene Pam Song Chart

Polythene is a British term for Polyethylene, a plastic polymer used in containers, insulation, and packaging. Written by John Lennon, this song has a rather strange background, and fortunately our Beatles expert Pattie Noah has sorted it out. Writes Pattie: "On 'Polythene Pam,' John based her on two people. One was Patricia Hodgett, who was a Cavern Dweller (someone who hung out at the Cavern Club, where The Beatles used to play). Pat used to actually eat polythene! They started calling her 'Polythene Pat.' Not a far stretch to Pam. The other woman was named Stephanie, and she was the girlfriend of John's good friend, the poet Royston Ellis. John was with Ellis and Stephanie in the Channel Islands and they all had a three-way sexual experience with her wearing an outfit made from polythene. I think they were even doing it on a bed covered in sheets of polythene. Ellis said, 'We'd read all these things about leather and we didn't have any leather but I had my oilskins and we had some polythene bags from somewhere. We all dressed up in them and wore them to bed.' Ellis says nothing 'perverted' really happened... but John did ;)."

Lennon sang this in a thick Liverpool accent. Like the other Beatles, his regular singing voice sounded very American because he grew up listening to US artists.

In the line, "She's the kind of a girl that makes the News Of The World," The News Of The World is a tabloid newspaper that specializes in risqué news reporting. Pam must have been a wild girl. (thanks, Tim - Phoenix, AZ)

The Beatles recorded this as one song with "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window."

Originally intended for The White Album, this was used in a suite of songs at the end of Abbey Road.

Every Light in the House Lyrics

I told you I'd leave a light on
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us being apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya

Every Light in the House is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

If I should ever start forgetting
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you'll see a glow
That's me waiting at home each night to hold ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Oh every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

Every Light in the House Song Chart

This was the second single Trace Adkins released, following There's a Girl in Texas. One of his most popular songs, it tells the story of a breakup where he tells his girl he'll leave a light on for her in case she ever comes back. He wants her back so bad that he turns on every light, figuring he'll start turning them off when he starts getting over her, which he never does.

This song was written by the Nashville songwriter Kent Robbins, who in 1997 died in a car accident at age 50. Robbins also wrote the Gary Allen song "Her Man" and The Judds song "Young Love (Strong Love)."

Adkins says he loves to do this song, but vocally, it's his hardest one to sing.

Sun King Song Chart

John Lennon wrote this song. He used to say that he dreamed 'Sun King,' but it's possible that he was also reading a book with that title by Nancy Mitford about the life of Louis XIV of France (The "Sun King" was a nickname given to King Louis XIV). He also was poking a bit of fun at George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun." At one point the title was "Here Comes the Sun King."

The foreign part of the song is a garbled mixture of Spanish and Italian, which roughly translates to: "When for much my love of happy heart, world paparazzi my love green for warm sun, hill as much much that small carousel." "Paparazzi" has the same meaning in Italian as it does in English. (thanks, Spencer - Los Angeles, CA)

This was recorded as one song with "Mean Mr. Mustard." It's part of a suite of songs at the end of Abbey Road. They put together bits of unfinished songs to make up most of Side 2.

The Beatles got the idea to use reverb on this after hearing Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross."

In 2006, a backwards version of this song called "Gnik Nus" was included on the album Love, which was a soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil show featuring the music of The Beatles. (thanks, Mike - Chicago, IL)

Flowers Song Chart

This beachy love song is the first tune to be released by Cody Simpson since exiting his contract with Atlantic and becoming an independent artist. "It's the first time I've had the creative freedom to do what I want," he told Rolling Stone.

The song and the rest of the Free album was created with Cisco Adler (Whitestarr, Shwayze) in Malibu. "It just came together so easily," Simpson said.

Simpson recruited his friend Miley Cyrus to design the artwork as he was in a hurry to get it up on iTunes. The American songstress grabbed a dying flower from her apartment and snapped away. She told Rolling Stone: "I shot it on some Polaroids, and then instead of complicating things, I said f--k it, I'm just going to shoot this s--t on an iPhone."

"[I was] just trying to do something simple for him," Cyrus added. "I just wanted something where people didn't have a stereotypical idea of what he was and could just look at the song for what it is, because it's a f--king epic song."

Because Song Chart

John Lennon got the idea for this song when he heard Yoko to playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" on the piano. He asked her to play it backwards, and came up with "Because" based on what he heard. John said, "I was lying on the sofa in our house, listening to Yoko play Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' on the piano. Suddenly, I said 'Can you play those chords backward?' She did, and I wrote 'Because' around them. The song sounds like 'Moonlight Sonata,' too. The lyrics are clear, no bulls--t, no imagery, no obscure references."

The vocals are a 3-part harmony by Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison that was overdubbed twice, creating a 9-part harmony. This is the only Beatles song with three singers throughout. (thanks, Dwight Rounds, author of The Year The Music Died, 1964-1972 )

Lennon said the arrangement was terrible, but McCartney and Harrison felt this was the best track on Abbey Road.

This was the first use of a Moog synthesizer on any recording. Harrison had the instrument specially made, and did his best to figure it out.

The 2006 Love album, which is a soundtrack to the Beatles Cirque du Soleil show of the same name, features an a capella version of this song. The album contains 26 tracks which are made up of 130 separate recordings - some are just a chord or two, and some tracks are superimposed on other tracks. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Second Hand Heart Lyrics

She said when I trusted love I dreamed in color too
But memories turn black and white, at least mine do…
She said my brother, you know, he used to have this friend…
But this is now and that was then

It’s better off just not to start
Than to have to watch us fall apart
All because of my Second Hand Heart

I said if you could count up memories but only keep the best
You may not see how good they were without the rest
She said look I tried a lot
But I guess love it don’t like me
Oh and by the way, all those tries?
Sure didn’t come for free

So it’s better off just not to start
Than to have to watch us fall apart
All because of my second hand heart

Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Are not just for parts

So I’ll take away your sad luck baby
And you’ll change mine
When hurt starts talkin’ we’ll say hey, ya know, we ain’t got time
Then pick up all those small hopes back off the ground
’Cause after years of tears it’s hard to say what’s up or down

So if you will, I’ll try to start
And take the chance that we might fall apart
To try and save our second hand hearts
She said when I trusted love I dreamed in color too…

Second Hand Heart Song Chart

This song finds Yoakam singing of a woman who wishes she'd never started a relationship. He originally wrote the song's opening verse years previously planning to include it on 2012's Tree Pears. "I never finished it," he told Rolling Stone Country. "It wasn't meant to be a part of that record and now I know why. It's its own statement, and it led this collection of songs in a way."

The song's first line was borne out of a fictional conversation with somebody. "She said, 'When I trusted in love, I dreamed in color too,'" he explained. "I remember [being] in my house, singing it out loud and I thought, 'Who is this and why did she say that?'... and staring off into space and thinking, 'Who's the poor guy who's obviously smitten with the idea of the two of them?'"

I Want You (She's So Heavy) Song Chart

This was the last song mixed for Abbey Road, and it was the last time all four Beatles were in the studio together. It was the result of two unfinished songs woven together. Before they broke up, The Beatles had a lot of partially completed songs, many of which ended up in their solo work.

John Lennon wrote this about Yoko Ono - the couple were married in March 1969, about six months before the Abbey Road album was released. Lennon was experimenting with a heavy blues sound, so the song has few lyrics and long stretches of repeated chords. "Every time I pick up the guitar I sing about Yoko and that's how I'm influenced," Lennon said at the time. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Taken on its own, the lyric is very basic, repeating just a few simple lines like:

I want you so bad
It's driving me mad

Soon after Abbey Road was released, a news magazine show called 24 Hours read the lyrics out loud, taking a derisive tone. Lennon replied: "To me that's a damn sight better lyric than 'Walrus' or 'Eleanor Rigby' because its progression to me. And if I want to write songs with no words or one word... maybe that's Yoko's influence."

The rhythm was based on Mel Torme's song "Coming Home Baby."

With the exception of "Revolution 9," this was The Beatles longest song.

John Lennon sang this monofonic, as some of the troubadours sang in the Middle Ages: There is no chord behind the melody, but an instrument follows the singer's melody. The song ends with an orchestra arrangement, which was Lennon's idea, and is very much similar to the end of "Entry of the Gods into Valhalla" in "Das Rheingold" by Richard Wagner. (thanks to Johan Cavalli, who is a music historian in Stockholm)

George Harrison played a Moog synthesizer on this track. It is one of the first uses of the instrument, which was custom-made for Harrison.

The guitars were overdubbed many times to get a layered sound.

This song contains an accidental background lyric. On stereo, play the song at 4:30 and listen very closely to the left speaker. In the bass break after John's scream, you can faintly hear someone say, "What was that about!?" presumably in response to the scream. (thanks, Tommy - Alameda, CA)

Trap Queen Song Chart

This hood love song is the breakthrough single for Paterson, New Jersey native Fetty Wap. The track finds him paying tribute to his girlfriend of three years, the Trap Queen. He explained to Complex: "I was just dealing with somebody at the time, and she was holding me down. We were building a lot, and I came up with the concept. She was my trap queen."

The "Remy Boyz, yeaahhhh 1738" shout out at the beginning refers to the name of the Paterson squad, which consists of Fetty, Montana "Monty" Buckz, P. Dice and Khaos. The name originates from Remy Martin 1738 liquor.

The New Jersey rapper told Complex: "I always put my squad in everything that I do even though people tell me not to. I do what I want because it's been working. I don't listen to anybody."

Fetty Wap recalled the recording of the song to Billboard magazine. "I can't remember exactly what day, but I just know it was in March, the energy was just so high," he remembered. "The day before, I was just letting them hear how I was coming up with - like I never came up with nothing, I just had melody in my head and I just knew how I wanted to do it. Once I listened to it a couple of times I just went in."

This was the first time that Fetty Wap sang on a record. "I wouldn't say I was nervous. I was anxious to do it, really," he told Billboard. "I just wanted to do something different. Everybody was rapping. Everybody wants to be a rapper so I did something different. I started singing. But I ain't want to be a singer, so I did my own thing. Melodies - I don't really know how to put it. I just do the Fetty Wap."

The guy that delivers the outro is Fetty Wap's friend Nitt Da Gritt - he also directed the song's music video. Nitt Da Gritt runs RGF Productions, the label to which Fetty is signed.

Speaking to New York Magazine, Fetty Wap said that the "Trap Queen" phrase celebrates the loyalty he's received from one particular woman in his life. "The person I was dealing with at the time [of writing the song], she kind of just showed me a different side of women," he explained to the publication. "She still to this day supports me and buys all my songs on iTunes, she still shows me loyalty, the same loyalty before everybody knew who I was. That's where I get my inspirations and my motivation from for most of my songs and the meanings behind them."

Fetty Wap told Complex about the real-life inspiration for the song. "I first met her at her job, and the way that I introduced myself, she didn't like it," he recalled. "I didn't really do it in the most respectful way. I was like, 'What do you want me to say? Do you want me to say, "Hey, what's up, hello" to you? Does that sound better?' The next day I went back to her job, and she was my trap queen from then on."

Though Fetty isn't dating her anymore, they remain friends. "I don't think I'll ever meet anybody like my ex ever again," the New York rapper said. "She's doing good now. She's in school. She's doing what she has to do. With the money that we made - and the money that I'm making now and everything that's going on for me - it's only right that I help her. Even though we're not together, I still make sure that she's good."

Fetty Wap won the MTV Video Music Award for Artist to Watch at the 2015 ceremony for this video.

The song describes the rapper's "Trap Queen" helping him cook up crack cocaine. "If everybody was to catch on to the [references in the] song, it wouldn't have been that big," admitted Fetty to Billboard magazine. "At the end of the day, it's my personal love story. Can't nobody tell me how to be in love."

The Fetty Wap LP debuted on the top of the Billboard 200. Fetty was the rapper to reach #1 with a debut album since A$AP Rocky's Long.Live.A$AP in 2012.

This song took Fetty from rags to riches, but he didn't comprehend its financial impact until after he was injured in a motorcycle accident on September 26, 2015, one day after the Up Next album was released.. "I was like, 'How am I going to pay the bills?'," he told Entertainment Weekly. "Then I checked by account and was like, 'Oh yeah. I'm rich.'"

According to Fetty, he was still in the hospital when the album hit #1 the week of October 17. When he returned to the stage on October 22, he performed from a throne with his leg elevated.

Oh! Darling Song Chart

Paul McCartney wrote this song. He came to the studio early every day for a week to sing it because his voice was too clear. He wanted it to sound strained, like he had been performing it all week.

McCartney had deployed the retro shredded-voice form several times before; once each on "I'm Down," "Long Tall Sally," and "Helter Skelter." Perhaps a bit of artistic rivalry was afoot here - hard rock vocals had been the domain of John, and Paul seemed almost to be pushing himself to compete.

Lennon resented that Paul didn't let him sing lead vocals. He felt it was more his style, but since McCartney wrote it, it was his decision. In a 1980 Playboy interview, Lennon even shot down McCartney's vocal efforts, specifically stating that he could have done it better.

The Beatles performed this in their movie Let It Be. While rehearsing the song for the film, John announced that Yoko's divorce with her former husband had finally gone through and he improvised a verse about that. This can be heard on The Beatles Anthology 3. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

One of the reasons McCartney could arrive at the studio so early was because he only lived two blocks away from Abbey Road. Incidentally, this also factors into why he was barefoot on the album cover for Abbey Road. He'd just worn sandals and happened to slip them off. Next thing you know, hundreds of "Paul is dead" rumors.

"Oh! Darling" draws its influence equally from New-Orleans-style R&B popularized by Fats Domino, and the "swamp" style of blues popular in Louisiana at the time. The rest of the group added the doo-wop harmony after the fact.

This song finds former Supergrass singer Gaz Coombes recalling a drug-induced fear he experienced during an early American tour. "I was 17 years old, and after a good night out, I was in the middle of – well, of a drug paranoia episode," he recalled to The Independent.

Coombes called his girlfriend on a payphone hoping her voice would calm him down. "She spent the next 20 minutes talking me round, recalibrating my brain," he said.

"I just thought it was a really beautiful moment, that two people can have that sort of connection," Coombes added, "and that one of those people had the ability to pull the other one into a better place just with some reassuring words."
