Only Wanna Be With You Lyrics

You and me we come from diff'rent worlds
You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
I"m such a baby 'cause the Dolphins make me cry
Well, there's nothing I can do
I've been looking for a girl like you

You look at me, you got nothing left to say
I'm gonna pout at you until I get my way
I won't dance, you won't sing
I just want to love you
but you want to wear my ring
Well, there's nothing I can do
I Only Wanna Be With You
You can call me your fool,
Only wanna be with you

Put on a little Dylan, sitting on a fence I say,"That line is great"
You ask me what I meant by "Said I shot a man named Gray,
took his wife to Italy
She inherit a million bucks and when she died is came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky"
Only wanna be with you
Ain't Bobby so cool?
Only wanna be with you
Yeah, I'm tangled up in blue, only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool, only wanna be with you

Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end
You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
I'm such a baby, yeah, the Dolphins make me cry
Well, there's nothing I can do, only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool, only wanna be with you
Yeah, I'm tangled up in blue, only wanna be with you
only wanna be with you, only wanna be with you,
only wanna be with you, only wanna be with you

Only Wanna Be With You Song Chart

This song is a tribute to Bob Dylan. It contains lyrics from various Dylan songs, including a mention of Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue." Some of the words come directly from Dylan's track "Idiot Wind": "They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy. She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me. I can't help it if I'm lucky."

Apparently, Dylan felt the "tribute" infringed too closely on original work, and he sued the group for unauthorized use of his lyrics. According to VH1, he received a large, out-of-court settlement in 1995.

The video had a sports theme and featured former quarterback Dan Marino (the band were huge Miami Dolphins fans), golfer Fred Couples, and various ESPN anchors.

The line, "Put on a little Dylan sitting on the fence" is a reference to a band they used to play with called Dillon's Fence. (thanks, Shaggy - Bristol, CT)

Cracked Rear View became the biggest-selling album in the history of Atlantic Records, as Hootie & the Blowfish were welcomed with open arms on Pop and Adult Contemporary Radio stations looking for a safe alternative to the '90s Grunge sound. Tim Sommer, who signed the band in 1993, said: "I never underestimate the value of karma in the success of Hootie & the Blowfish. They never expected to be a famous band or even to be signed. They would still be playing regardless of whether they'd signed to Atlantic or were doing it for $200 and a case of beer."

Regarding the lyrics, "I'm such a baby 'cause The Dolphins make me cry," fans of the Miami Dolphins had lots to cry about in the ensuing years as the team often struggled to make the playoffs. Asked in 2011 if the Dolphins still make him cry, Rucker replied: "Thank God no. I got over that a couple years ago. I don't know if I could take another 1-15 season."

Moon Is Up Lyrics

Moon Is Up Song Chart

On this song, Charlie Watts played drums using a trash can. Keith Richards explained: "That song had been around since Ireland, and everybody was fascinated with it. The song was suddenly there, you know, and what are we going to do with it? To me, it was all tied in with Charlie. If Charlie Watts is willing to experiment in the studio, then I'm the happiest man in the world. It so happened that as we were trying this track out in different configurations, I put an acoustic guitar through a Leslie cabinet, Ronnie was playing pedal steel through some tiny little amplifier, and Mick was singing through the harp mike. The drums were the only thing that sounded unreal, because they were real. So we fished around for a bit, and I said, 'Well, what about playing on a suitcase outside?' And before I know it, Charlie Watts is out there in the stairwell with a garbage can and brushes, and that's the sound. After that, it was very hard to keep him out of the stairwell." The Rolling Stones drummer added: "It's a 4-flight stairwell, and I started off at the top, which is 'Moon Is Up,' and I ended up at the bottom playing 'You Got Me Rocking and Thru and Thru...'"

Keith Richards, 1994: "Charlie Watts (was) moving his drums, which is unheard of... He would work (in) the staircase, you know. And that's something that Charlie hasn't done, I think, since Beggars Banquet or maybe Exile. It's been that long since I've had that much input from Charlie. That was amazing. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that he's been doing his own thing with Bernard Fowler, you know. He's taken that jazz band around... So he came back with a whole new perspective on what it's like when the buck stops here."

This features Benmont Tench on accordion air whoosh. Tench is best known for his work as one of Tom Petty's group the Heartbreakers, playing on all their albums since 1976. He has also frequently been recruited by other artists, however, especially those hailing from the LA scene. In the 1980s and 90s, he worked with John Hiatt, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Randy Newman, Jackson Browne and ex-Eagles Glenn Frey and Don Henley. He has also done work with luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Rosanne Cash , U2 and Alanis Morissette.

According to Ron Wood, the title of the album comes from the granny flat that he built for his mother. Says Wood: "Immediately Keith moved in. He did this hand-drawn sign, Doc's Office and Voodoo Lounge, and stuck it in the window." Keith Richards explains: "I'm the doc. It's like a ritual, a fetish... We agonized over (the title). And it was staring us in the face. Finally, it was Mick who said, What about Voodoo Lounge? Why not? Kind of like Beggars Banquet. Right number of syllables. I was really pissed with myself, though, after painting the sign and all. I'm usually the one with the cheap ideas, not Mick. His are usually real expensive."

Hunger Strike Lyrics

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouth of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already over-filled
But it's on the table.

The fire's cooking.
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are all working.
Blood is on the table.
The mouths are choking

And I'm going hungry
I'm going hungry [Repeat: x3]

Hunger Strike Song Chart

Temple of the Dog began when Chris Cornell of Soundgarden wrote two songs in honor of his good friend Andrew Wood, who died of a heroin overdose in March 1990. Wood was kept on life support for three days after he overdosed, during which time Cornell and his band mates came to see him. Wood was in a promising Seattle band called Mother Love Bone with Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, who were forming their new band that would become Pearl Jam. Cornell teamed up with them and guitarist Mike McCready with the intention of recording some of Wood's solo songs along with Cornell's two tribute tracks. Responding to concerns that they were somehow exploiting Wood's work, the guys decided to release an album of all original material in tribute to Wood, and called the band Temple of the Dog after a Mother Love Bone lyric from their song "Man of Golden Words."

"Hunger Strike" was the last song recorded for the album; Chris Cornell wrote it because they had only nine tracks and he has a compulsive distaste for odd numbers. Describing the song in the Pearl Jam Twenty collection, he said, "I was wanting to express the gratitude for my life but also disdain for people where that's not enough, where they want more. There's no way to really have a whole lot more than you need usually without taking from somebody else that can't really afford to give it to you. It's sort of about taking advantage of a person or people who really don't have anything."

The same verse is repeated twice in this song, as Cornell felt he had said everything he could on the subject with those words. Once these verse lyrics are out of the way, it's all chorus and bridge, which works thanks to the second vocalist on the song: Eddie Vedder. Temple of the Dog recorded the song on the very day Vedder flew in from San Diego to audition for what would become Pearl Jam: October 8, 1990. It was the first time he met any of the guys, and for most of the sessions, he kept to himself. Chris Cornell planned to sing both the high and low parts of the "Going Hungry" chorus by himself with the help of overdubs, but he was struggling with the low register. In a defining moment, Vedder stepped up to the microphone and sang the low parts of the chorus, which made the song click for Cornell. With two distinct voices, Cornell could now sing the verse lyrics at the beginning of the song, and Vedder could follow with the same lyrics, giving it a different sound. With both voices on the chorus, the song really came together and became the highlight of the album. It was a huge moment for Eddie, as he interjected himself into Christ Cornell's song without coming off as arrogant, and gained the respect of his new bandmates in the process. It was Vedder's first recorded vocal for a major record, and it proved to those in the room that he understood their sound and was willing to contribute any way he could, even if it wasn't for his band.

The video for the song was shot in Discovery Park in Seattle. The western view at sunset with band members' backs to the camera facing Bainbridge Island, home of Andrew Wood, was a symbolic goodbye to their friend. (thanks, Eric - Bainbridge Island, WA)

Matt Cameron, who was with Soundgarden at the time, was the drummer for Temple of the Dog. He ended up joining Peal Jam a few years later.

Cornell has joined Pearl Jam on several occasions onstage to perform this song.

Carl Perkins' Cadillac Lyrics

Life ain't nothing but a blending up of all the ups and downs
Dammit Elvis, don't you know
You made your Mama so proud
Before you ever made that record, before there ever was a Sun
Before you ever lost that Cadillac that Carl Perkins won

Mr. Phillips found old Johnny Cash and he was high
High before he ever took those pills and he's still too proud to die
Mr. Phillips never said anything behind nobody's back
Like "Dammit Elvis, don't he know, he ain't no Johnny Cash"

If Mr. Phillips was the only man that Jerry Lee still would call sir
Then I guess Mr. Phillips did all of Y'all about as good as you deserve
He did just what he said he was gonna do and the money came in sacks
New contracts and Carl Perkins' Cadillac

I got friends in Nashville, or at least they're folks I know
Nashville is where you go to see if what they said is so
Carl drove his brand new Cadillac to Nashville and he went downtown
This time they promised him a Grammy
He turned his Cadillac around

Mr. Phillips never blew enough hot air to need a little gold plated paperweight
He promised him a Cadillac and put the wind in Carl's face
He did just what he said he was gonna do and the money came in sacks
New contracts and Carl Perkins' Cadillac

Dammit Elvis, I swear son I think it's time you came around
Making money you can't spend ain't what being dead's about
You gave me all but one good reason not to do all the things you did
Now Cadillacs are fiberglass, if you were me you'd call it quits

Please Go Home
Please go home

Well maybe I'm talkin' to fast
But I won't be the first or the last
In the sea of the thousand you cast
C'mon please go home

I don't have to ask what you do
I just have to look to get you
Means nothing to me to get through
Please go home

I don't want to be on my own
Cause I can't talk much better alone
But I don't have to ring like a phone
Won't you please go home

Please go home
In some early part of your days
You were told of the devious ways
That you thought you could get without pay
Won't you please go home

You reach a state of your mind
Where it's madness to look and to find
Your false affections so kind
Please go home
Won't you please go home

This is built around the "Bo Diddley Beat" - dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, dun. The Stones toured with Diddley in England in 1963. The Stones also used the Bo Diddley Beat on "Not Fade Away" in 1964.

Brian Jones played the theremin on this track, an electronic device also used by Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love."

Like that theremin? Here's "Over The Rainbow" on one, an excellent example of its unique sound. Shop around online and you'll find they go for about $300. If you're too broke or too clever, make your own theremin following this YouTube podcast. Then come back and play along with the Stones! (thanks, David - Lilburn, GA)

This was not included on American versions of Between The Buttons. It is on the compilation Flowers in the US.

The Stones had an unusual track record for shuffling songs around between album releases in the states and the UK. In the US, this song was bumped to make room for two bigger hits, "Let's Spend The Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday."

The name of this album, Between The Buttons, is a British expression meaning that you're undecided about something. Urban legend has it that when producer Andrew Loog Oldham was asked about what they should title the album, he uttered this phrase and they took him literally.

Misunderstanding Lyrics

There must be some Misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I waited in the rain for hours
You were late

Now it's not like me to say the right thing
But you could've called to let me know
I checked your number twice, don't understand it
So I went home

Well I'd been waiting for this weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling
But seeing you is believing
That's why I don't know why
You didn't show up that night

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I was waiting in the rain for hours
You were late

Since then I've been running around trying to find you
I went to the places you always go
I rang your home but got no answer
Jumped in my car, I went round there
I still don't believe it
He was just leaving

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake.

Misunderstanding Song Chart

This was one of the first songs Phil Collins wrote on his own. He was going through a very difficult time - his first wife Andrea had left him and taken their two children with her. Phil found himself alone in the house he once shared with them, and began writing songs - sad ones.

"Misunderstanding" finds Collins getting stood up and failing to understand that the girl wants nothing to do with him. Despite all evidence to the contrary, he keeps blaming her evasiveness on "some misunderstanding."

In a way, Collins is looking at himself as a witness observer - his story about a man who is delusional in love reflects his hopeless attempts to put his marriage back together (they divorced in 1980). At the time, Collins had much deeper concerns than being left out in the rain, and those concerns are laid bare on the song "Please Don't Ask," which is one of his most personal tales. "Misunderstanding" has a lot more distance, and also a lot more hit potential. Both songs were used on the Genesis album Duke; Collins poured out more of his heart on his first solo album, Face Value, which was released the following year.

This was the second Top 40 US hit for Genesis, following "Follow You, Follow Me." The band began divesting themselves of their progressive rock roots in 1978 with the release of their album And Then There Were Three. They continued moving toward more compact pop songs with "Misunderstanding," which runs just 3:08.

To write songs for the Duke album, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks moved into Collins' house in Surrey, England for six weeks. Collins hadn't done much writing at that point, but Rutherford and Banks were very impressed when he played them this song. Five of the other songs for the album were group efforts written during these sessions when the band would jam together.

Genesis recorded this at Abba's studio in Sweden.

Hotel Lyrics

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me and my girlfriend?
Let's take it to the Hotel, let's take it to the hotel

Yeah, I said why you over there lookin'?
Got a starin' problem and you f***in'
I know you see my girl, stop frontin'
I could tell you up to a lil' somethin', hol' up
I'ma play it cool, baby roll one
While you make your way and get over here
My girl ain't down then it's over
Just tell her that she look good when I'm over there
In the first place, pour one up
Baby don't be too thirsty
Groupie love ain't ever gon' work see
Hoes ain't loyal and never keep it low key
That ain't alright
I'ma take a shot, couple shots thru the night
Tell a joke, keep it fun, make her feel it's alright
Give you the game wholesale
And bet a hundred that I take 'em to the hotel

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me (and my girlfriend?)
Let's take it to the hotel (we can take it there), let's take it to the hotel
Take it to the hotel, baby leave with me
Know I got a penthouse suite
I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend

It's kinda hard when I see you lookin' over here
With them eyes
I got a girl but I'm feelin' your body
So I'ma have to just play both sides
I hope she don't come over here
'Cause I'm with my girl, you know I love 'er
I got two of my b****es in the club
And they know about each other, oh no

But a n**** never Paranoid
You f***in' with a man not a little boy
What? I could barely hear your lil voice
In the club but your body makin' all the noise
Clap it up, stack it up
Where your purse? Just pack it up
Grab her hand, tell her we should go now
If you really wanna take this party to the hotel

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me (and my girlfriend?)
Let's take it to the hotel (we can take it there), let's take it to the hotel (baby we can take it there)
Take it to the hotel, baby leave with me
Know I got a penthouse suite
I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend

Over there lookin' all suspicious
Get a clue girl, don't be a mystery
I see you likin' on all my pictures
Of me and my bi***
Up in all of our business
So, you gotta know it ain't a limit to
What a pill and the liquor do
Make a straight girl go down
Just spit down
I might f*** around and lick her too
It ain't a problem, my metabolism high
Eat you both up for dinner
Just keep it real with a real mothaf***a
Ain't got time for no pretenders
Now just bring it to me
That fleek, that freak, no classy stuff
Been pushin' up, don't p**** now
B****, what you really on?

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me (and my girlfriend?)
Let's take it to the hotel (we can take it there), let's take it to the hotel (baby we can take it there)
Take it to the hotel, baby leave with me
Know I got a penthouse suite
I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend

Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.

Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go.

Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.

My bags, they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em
They're dying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go.

Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.

Connection Song Chart

Keith Richards wrote most of this song, which is about the long hours the Stones spent in airports and the hard life of performing on the road, with all the travel-weary metaphors that go with it. The repeated word "connection" is a reference to connecting flights, "Everything is going in the wrong direction" is again suggesting not being able to get the right flights, and "The doctor wants to give me more injections, giving me shots for a thousand rare infections" is about the immunization shots you have to get when traveling. Oh, and "my bags, they get a very close inspection." Well, better not have any contraband in there!

Speaking of contraband, this song was written only months before the notorious drug bust of Richards, Jagger, and Jones in 1967; notorious for being mostly trumped-up and the sentences greatly reduced following public outcry.

This song is part of the soundtrack to the 2008 film Shine a Light. It has also been covered by Everclear, Arlo Guthrie, and Montrose.

This was one of the last Stones' songs produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, who would soon split with the group amidst much angst and complaining on both sides.

Cartoons and drawings by the Rolling Stones' drummer Charlie Watts are used on the album artwork. Charlie Watts explains: "Andrew told me to do the drawings for the LP & he told me the title was between the buttons. I thought he meant the title was 'Between The Buttons', so it stayed."

Summer Breaking Lyrics

Driving through Ghost-town
Metal horses a thousand feet high
Orange sky

Pulling your top down
In the back of some pretty boy's ride
You get high

Avenues
Empty as .44 clips
Cargo ships, teen zombies ghost-riding their whips
(See how they play)

You're always Summer Breaking
Running wild in the streets after dark
You're always summer breaking
Hanging out with the boys in the park
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone to break your fall)

Give him a haircut
In the old kitchen chair in your yard
Saint Delilah

He thinks you care
Does he know you're too bright and too hard
Like a diamond

Play your game
Play him the way you played me
Be the girl you pretend to pretend not to be
(See how they play)

You're always summer breaking
Running wild in the street after dark
You're always summer breaking
Hanging round with the boys in the park
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone)

(You're gonna need something)
Summer is gone

Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist behind 2000's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, wrote the majority of Uptown Special's lyrics. Ronson told The Sun that he recruited Chabon for the album after he, "wrote a really nice letter." He explained: "I first met Michael after I went to a book signing. He did for his book Telegraph Avenue."

"He recognized me and told me he liked some of my music, Ronson continued. "So a year later, I wrote him a letter and luckily, I caught him at a time when it wasn't too crazy."

This song took four drafts to get right. "He's one of the great living American novelists and it's tough to be like, 'Uh, we don't really like this one, could we try it again?'" Ronson told Billboard magazine.

Uptown Special was written and produced with producer Jeff Bhasker. "I sought Jeff Bhasker out because I loved the song 'Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart' that he wrote and produced for Alicia Keys," Ronson explained to The Guardian. "Plus I also dug all his chords and synths on Kanye's 808's & Heartbreak. In his music, I could hear someone who equally loved hip-hop, Earth Wind & Fire and even a bit of weird prog. He's also a Berklee-trained jazz pianist... needless to say, a major dude."

This song came about when Ronson met Bhasker in his house in Venice, LA to start working on the album. "One night, he left early and I wrote the chords and melody to this song," said Ronson. "It's something way more complex than anything I've done before, I don't really even know the names of the chords – they just sort of came out of me. I think I was trying to write something I thought would impress Jeff, because I wanted him to think I was good or worthy or something as it was early on. Michael then wrote the lyrics and Kevin [Parker, vocalist] made it cool."

The song is sung by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, one of three Uptown Special tracks that features his vocals. Ronson told The Guardian how the collaboration with the Australian came about. "I loved their band and would always see them play in London. We talked about doing some kind of side project, which never materialized," he said. "And then [Kevin] sent me this demo of a funk record he'd been working on. It didn't even have a name and it was just so cool."

"When I started working on my album, I had some ideas for some songs and kept hearing his voice in my head," Ronson continued. "I asked if he would come down to Memphis and just hang out. Obviously he's in one of the biggest bands in the world; they're always touring and I think their album had just been named in every single best album of the year list. So for him to take a week out of his life to come to Memphis was pretty awesome."

"Not only did he sing the songs," he added, "just having him around – the way he plays drums, his voice on background harmonies, all the little touches that he added – just made everything a little bit cooler and better."

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of Lyrics

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
And through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping
For me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass It's just a moment
This time will pass

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of Song Chart

This is about Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of INXS who killed himself in 1997. He and Bono were close friends, and even discussed the topic of suicide.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Bono said that he and Hutchence, discussed suicide in the past: "We discussed suicide a few times and we both agreed how pathetic it was." He said they had 'kinda promised each other' neither would ever kill themselves.

Bono (from Rolling Stone): "It's a row between mates. You're kinda trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive. I feel the biggest respect I could pay to him was not to write some stupid soppy f--king song, so I wrote a really tough, nasty little number, slapping him around the head. And I'm sorry, but that's how it came out of me." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

Mick Jagger and his 16 year-old daughter, Elizabeth, came to their Dublin studio and sang backup on this. U2 decided to go another direction with the song and did not use their tracks.

The band sent Jagger a copy of his version of this, and thanked him and his daughter in the album's liner notes.

The video, directed by Joseph Kahn, was shot in Berlin while the band was between tour dates. It showed them in a stadium watching an American Football game. U2 performed at the Super Bowl a few months later. Kahn also directed "Elevation," which featured a battle between good U2 and evil U2.

This got a lot of airplay when terrorists struck America in 2001. Los Angeles radio station KIIS produced a version featuring bits of President Bush's speeches mixed in with the lyrics.

An acoustic version was included on a 2002 album of rarities called U2 7, which was distributed through Target stores.

This won the 2001 Grammy for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocal. It was the first award given out on the show, which U2 opened with a performance of "Walk On."

When Apple Computer started their online music store in 2003, an acoustic version of this was offered as an exclusive to the service. It was the #1 downloaded song the first week of the service.

Leaving Los Feliz Lyrics

I'm on the guest list down at Paul's Baby Grand
That hipster doorman he don't know who I am
But my studied aloofness is proof I belong so I pass

Some girls are pieced like Krylon bombs on the walls
Some cut the line to cut the lines in the stalls
On the floor is the border between paradise and the fall

I'm Leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm over the scenesters
I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm leaving Los Feliz

I cruise the room without attracting a glance
My Ksubi jeans are more like armor than pants
But I don't want to go just yet so I suppose I should dance

The music wobbles between rapture and dread
Like a divine name that can never be said
And I shoot a pretend documentary inside my head

I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm over the scenesters
I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm leaving Los Feliz

I'm young enough to know I'm too young to quit
I'm old enough to want to get over it
But the yearning is timeless and mine is as deep as the pit

I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm over the scenesters
I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm leaving Los Feliz

Leaving Los Feliz Song Chart

Many of the lyrics for Uptown Special were written by Michael Chabon, the author of Wonder Boys and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. Chabon fully immersed himself in the album's creation, often working with Ronson and the vocalists in the recording studio. With this song, he wrote three completely different sets of lyrics till he hit on something that he felt worked. "It was a different creative process from writing my books, primarily because it is so collaborative and that was the beautiful thing about it for me," Chabon told The Observer. "I will lean more towards the wistful, melancholy regretful note in my lyrics and Mark tends to favor the more optimistic lyrics - that tension, if you will, proved really fruitful."

Los Feliz is an affluent, hilly neighborhood in the district of Hollywood, City of Los Angeles, California. The neighborhood is named after its colonial Spanish-Mexican land grantee, José Vicente Feliz. Along with present-day Griffith Park, it makes up the original Rancho Los Feliz concession, one of the first land grants made in California.

Mark Ronson explained Michael Chabon's lyrics to The Guardian: "Los Feliz is an artsy/hipster/musician-y area of Los Angeles. This song is about an aging hipster who doesn't want to admit that he's too old to still be going to the party. It's not semi-autobiographical at all. At all."

Ronson says this song is "about how lonely a giant nightclub can be." Since he's a DJ at heart and wants to hear the latest sounds, he does still go to clubs, but acts his age when he's there.
