Buried Alive Lyrics

Again the burden of losing rest
Upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
Your tomb is where your heart is,
I should have told her
But within Me a secret so terrible

To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been Buried Alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

The kiss of vanity you blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war
Your home is there in the darkness, I should have told her
Embrace the fire indestructible

To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Bring no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile,

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die,
Rescue me with your smile

I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love

Buried Alive Song Chart

Lead singer Ville Valo recalled the inspiration for this song to Kerrang! "I was trying to break away from what we had been doing on our previous album, which was really poppy," he said. "I was heavily into (Norwegian hardcore punk band) Turbonegro at the time and, since being an idiotic post-teenager was my main goal in life, I remembered that rock 'n' roll is about making rash decisions with no sense and not thinking about tomorrow, so that's how I wrote the riff. I just wanted to write the most idiotic riff that I could – and I got very close!"

The music video was directed by Valo's friend, Jackass crew member Bam Margera. The clip features actress and singer Juliette Lewis. Valo recalled to Kerrang! "We managed to rent this location in downtown LA, a grand old theater, and it was unlike anything we have in Scandinavia, so we were all just happily wandering about looking at all the ornamental details."

"It's always fun working with Bam as well," Valo added, "he's professional but not uptight, so the whole thing was really laid back with a lot of laughing."

Margera has also directed three other music videos for HIM, those being "The Sacrament", "Solitary Man" and "And Love Said No."

Beast Of Burden Lyrics

I'll never be your Beast Of Burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is you to make love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

I'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
You're a pretty, pretty, such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please

I'll tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby
That I don't understand
You keep on telling me
I ain't your kind of man

Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh, ooh please

I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
All I want is you to make love to me,

Beast Of Burden Song Chart

Sometimes misunderstood as a putdown, this is a rare Stones song that treats women as equals. Jagger sings that he "Don't need no beast of burden."

Ron Wood: "That's another one that just came very naturally in the studio. And I slipped into my part and Keith had his going. It may have appeared as though it was planned. We can pick it up today and it will just naturally slip into the groove again with the guitars weaving in a special way. It's quite amazing really. Ever since Keith and I first started to trade licks, it was a very natural thing that, for some unknown reason, if he's playing up high, I'm down low and the other way around. We cross over very naturally. We call it an ancient form of weaving-- which we still are impressed by it to this day. Unexplainable, wonderful things happen with the guitar weaving. There's no plan." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This isn't about a specific woman. Most women in Stones' songs are composites of many.

A live version from their 1981 US tour was used as the B-side of their "Going To A Go-Go" single.

A beast of burden is an animal that labors for the benefit of man, like an ox or a pack mule.

Keith Richards wrote this, but a lot of the lyrics were improvised in the studio. While the band played, Jagger came in with different lines to fit the music. As a result, some of the lyrics are less than meaningful and a little repetitious.

This song could be allegorical - it was written by Keith as a kind of homage to Mick for having to carry the band while Keith was strung out on heroin: "All your sickness I can suck it up, throw it all at me, I can shrug it off." (thanks, Eric - London, England)

Bette Midler covered this in 1983. Jagger appeared in the video.

The Chinese ministry of culture ordered The Stones not to play this when they performed there in 2003. It was going to be the first time The Stones played in China, but they canceled because of a respiratory disease that was spreading through the country.

Whilst Richards spent much of the '70s insulating himself with drugs, former London School of Economics student Jagger was running the band. However, by the time of Some Girls, Richards wanted to share the workload. Mojo magazine January 2012 asked Richards how much this song was about his relationship with Jagger? He replied; "Mick wrote a lot of it but I laid the general idea on him. At the time Mick was getting used to running the band. Charlie was just the drummer, I was just the other guitar player. I was trying to say, 'OK I'm back, so let's share a bit more of the power, share the weight, brother."

Ghosttown Lyrics

Maybe it was all too much
Too much for a man to take
Everything's bound to break
Sooner or later, sooner or later

You're all that I can trust
Facing the darkest days
Everyone ran away
But we're gonna stay here, we're gonna stay here

Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I know you're scared tonight
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I'll never leave your side

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a Ghosttown

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

Tell me how we got this far
Every man for himself
Everything's gone to hell
We gotta stay strong, we're gonna hold on

This world has turned to dust
All we've got left is love
Might as well start with us
Singing a new song, something to build on

Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I know you're scared tonight
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I'll never leave your side

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

I know we're alright
'Cause we'll never be alone
In this mad mad, in this mad mad world
Even with no light
We're gonna shine like gold
In this mad mad, in this mad mad world

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

Ghosttown Song Chart

Madonna wrote this power ballad with Sean Douglas and Jason Evigan, who worked together on Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack" and Jason DeRulo's "Talk Dirty." The other co-writer was Evan Bogart, whose credits include Beyonce's "Halo" and Rihanna's "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)."

Madonna told Billboard magazine the story of the song. "We all get into a room together. They start playing their chords and then we just start thinking about… When I write with people, we always try to come up with a theme. What do we want to write about? So this one is about the city after Armageddon. The burnt out city, the crumbling buildings, the smoke that's still lingering after the fire. You know what I mean? There's only a few people left. How do we pick up the pieces and go on from here? Kind of dramatic. (Laughs.) But not entirely impossible at this stage of the game."

The song is about seeing hope amidst the destruction: "At the end of the day, if we run out of oil and we don't have electricity and we don't have all the modern conveniences, and we have no phones and computers, all we're going to have is each other, is humans," Madonna explained to Rolling Stone. "And that song's about recognizing that."

The track was written in three days after Madonna personally requested some studio time with the three songwriters. "She liked 'Talk Dirty,' actually, and so they put me and Jason Evigan and Evan Bogart in with her and we had this great session," Sean Douglas told Billboard magazine. "I was incredibly nervous for obvious reasons, but she showed up, was super personable and was ready to work. I basically checked it off my life bucket list."

The apocalyptic music video starts off with Madonna holed up in a bunker amid nuclear destruction. After she leaves her compound to explore the bombed-out world, she runs into Empire actor Terrance Howard. Ironically, when Madonna's Rebel Heart was released in March 2015, it was blocked from #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart by the soundtrack to the first season of Empire.

Jonas Škerlund directed the clip. He's worked with Madonna on the videos for several of her previous singles including the ones for like "Ray Of Light" "American Life" and "Music."

This was Madonna's 45th #1 on the Dance Club Songs chart. The song's ascent to the peak position meant that the Queen of Pop overtook George Strait's 44 chart-toppers on Country Songs to tally the most #1s of any artist on a single Billboard chart.

Respectable Lyrics

Well now we're respected in society
We don't worry about the things that we used to be
We're talking heroin with the president
Well it's a problem, sir, but it can't be bent
Uh yes

Well now you're a pillar of society
You don't worry about the things that you used to be
You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn
You're the easiest lay on the White House lawn

Get out of my life, don't come back
Get out of my life, don't come back

She's so Respectable
She's so respectable
She's so delectable
She's so respectable
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back

What I say

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so respectable

Get out of my life
Don't take my wife

Respectable Song Chart

This is a commentary on how The Stones were now accepted by high society, which previously shunned them. Mick Jagger said of the track: "I was banging out three chords incredibly loud on the electric guitar, which isn't always a wonderful idea but was great fun here. This is a Punk meets Chuck Berry number. The lyric carries no fantastically deep message, but I think it might have had something to do with Bianca." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Keith Richards fought to keep this an uptempo rocker, over Mick Jagger's objections. Richards played the guitar solo in the song.

The lyrics contain a reference to a visit to the White House by Bianca, Jagger's wife at the time, to meet President Ford's son.

Mick Jagger wrote this pretty much by himself. He had the song laid out the way he wanted it when they started the session to record it.

Bitch I'm Madonna Song Chart

This spunky girl-power track finds Madonna collaborating with Nicki Minaj and thumbing her nose at naysayers. The Queens rapper previously had two features on Madonna's MDNA set: "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and "I Don't Give A."

Madonna told Rolling Stone that it's an equal partnership when she collaborates with Nicki Minaj. "Whenever we work together she always sits with me and listens to the song, and says 'tell me what this song is about to you,'" she explained. "She's very methodical in her thinking. We talk about it, she writes down words that I say describing what the song's about and the sentiment that I'd like her to get out there, and then she goes away and she works on it. She writes it, she comes back. She does a version of it, we talk about it. It's a back and forth until she gets it right. It's a total collaboration."

Rebel Heart finds Madonna using the b-word a lot (one of the other tracks is titled "Unapologetic Bitch"). Asked by Billboard magazine about her use of the offensive slang pejorative, Madonna replied: "The word 'bitch' means a lot of different things. Everything is about context. When I first moved to England and heard the word 'c--t,' I was horrified. People were calling each other c--ts! And then I realized that, in that culture, it was different - they slapped each other on the back and said, 'Who's the c--t, right, you're my best mate!'"

"The word 'f--k' doesn't just mean sexual intercourse," she continued. "I mean, 'You're a stupid f--k,' 'Are you going to f--k with me?' 'F--k off!' (Laughs.) Sex has nothing to do with any of those expressions, and the same goes for 'bitch.' If I say to you, 'I'm a badass bitch,' I'm owning myself, I'm saying, 'I'm strong, I'm tough, and don't mess with me.' If I say, 'Why are you being such a bitch to me?,' well, that means something else."

The song was produced by Diplo, one of seven tracks they wrote and recorded together for Rebel Heart. Diplo told Mojo magazine: "I hadn't really listened to her recent albums but I knew her classic material. We wrote a lot of things - like seven or eight songs together. She said, 'Give me something crazy,' and that's when we made Bitch I'm Madonna."

The song's music video was directed by Madonna's longtime collaborator Jonas Akerlund and styled by his wife B. Škerlund. The epic clip was filmed on the top floors of the Standard Hotel in Manhattan and finds Madonna dancing her way from room to room.

The Queen of Pop opened her Rolodex to surround herself with famous names for the clip. She passes by other party goers, which includes such familiar faces as producer Diplo, designer Alexander Wang, singer Rita Ora and comedian Chris Rock. There are also a number of pre-recorded clips featuring Kanye West, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj while Madonna's sons, Rocco and David Banda, are also seen dancing.

Jonas Škerlund, who also shot Madonna's "Ghosttown" video told Entertainment Weekly filming the clip was a totally unique experience. "Madonna called me about 'Ghosttown,'" he recalled. "We hadn't worked for a while because of different circumstances so when I heard all the songs [on Rebel Heart], I was very excited about 'Ghosttown.' I connected to it creatively. And, yeah, we enjoyed working together. I was supposed to start something else right after and that got pushed and she asked me to do 'Bitch I'm Madonna.' I saw it being so completely different from 'Ghosttown,' something a little bit less serious, just fun and crazy."

Škerlund detailed how he managed his crew, which was comprised of 100 people. "It was fun! That's the only way to do it really," he said. "But it was technical. Everybody needed to be on their place and do their job. Everyone had cues and everyone was ready. And when we left the shoot, we thought, 'If the video feels half as good as we feel, then it's a homerun.'"

The song was Madonna's first Hot 100 hit since "Give Me All Your Luvin'" peaked at #10 in 2012. However, there was one previous composition prior to the Queen of Pop's cut with "Madonna" in its title that charted. An outfit called The Beatles (you may have heard of them) peaked at #4 with "Lady Madonna" in 1968. In addition Robbie Williams had a Top 20 hit in the UK with the Per Shop Boys-featuring "She's Madonna" in 2006.

This features production work from the British electronic musician Sophie, who has worked closely with artists from the London PC Music label. "I think Madonna's manager was like, 'Who is this person?' and I was like, 'Trust me, this is very cool to have him be part of this song,'" Diplo recalled to Time. "PC Music is a really post-modern attempt at pop. It's something the kids are generating because everything is so clean as far dance music [is concerned]."

Manic Monday Lyrics

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another Manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

Manic Monday Song Chart

Prince wrote this song under the name "Christopher" (the name of his character in his movie Under the Cherry Moon), and it became the Bangles first hit. The purple one discovered the Bangles after coming across the video for one of their early singles, "Hero Takes a Fall," on MTV. He showed up at a Bangles gig in Los Angeles, then joined them onstage at The Fillmore, where he played on "Hero."

Prince put together a very special mixtape for the group - one with two original songs he had written and wanted them to record. In our interview with Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs , she explained: "I went and picked up a cassette. It had two songs on it and one of them was 'Manic Monday.' The other was called 'Jealous Girl.' I have to look up that cassette. I know I have it. It's in a box somewhere. The demo just had a girl singing it. I think he was offering us the track so we'd sing it the same way. But we wanted to do the whole thing from the ground up."

The Bangles recorded "Manic Monday" with the appropriate trepidation that comes with a song written by a superstar. Hoffs recalls: "I remember going in and singing that song and being on the mike and it was kind of like red light fever. I knew it was a Prince song and I wanted to do a great job on it. I remember David (producer David Kahne) was really excited; you pick up on those vibes and it's just the best feeling in the world. Recording is so psychological, there's so much pressure, because there's a lot at stake and you want to make sure you do your very best to get it captured on tape. It was taped back then. We didn't have ProTools, so you were always in danger of destroying something that was good already. Prince came to our rehearsal after the record was done, and he was really thrilled with how it came out. I think he might have said something like, 'Oh, I was surprised you guys didn't use my track,' or something. But he was very happy with it."

Prince's lifestyle is nothing like the workday grind he pokes fun of in this song, which finds a young lady stressing out about being late for work and trying in vain to get there on time. This being a Prince-penned song from the '80s, there is sex involved: we find out in the last verse that she's late because her lover, who apparently doesn't work, hit her up for some lovemaking the night before. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Prince's "Kiss" was #1 when this was #2 in the US.

Prince first recorded this song with Apollonia 6, which was a group he assembled for his film Purple Rain. Apollonia Kotero was the female lead in the film and fronted the group along with Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie (yes, there were only three girls in Apollonia 6). The group released just one album (self-titled), which was slated to contain not only "Manic Monday," but also "The Glamorous Life," which Prince ended up giving to Sheila E. The highest charting song on the Apollonia 6 album was "Sex Shooter" (performed in Purple Rain), which made #85 US.

A pre-release cassette of the album contained the Apollonia 6 version of "Manic Monday." Prince clearly made the right decision by trusting the song to The Bangles.

In their 1984 video for "Hero Takes A Fall," the Bangles were rocking a highly accessorized, Madonna look (yes, The Bangles were wearing Bangles). For their "Manic Monday" clip, the fashions were more refined and the hairstyles more classic. The video marked the first time we saw Susanna Hoffs doing her famous "look up and to the side." Her scenes are in black and white while the majority of the video is in color. Early MTV was a place where the rules of filmmaking could be broken.

When this song began climbing the charts, the Bangles were dispatched to Europe on a grueling club tour. When they returned to America, they experienced what aspiring bands dream of. Susanna Hoffs told us: "After we were done with this crazy European run that we were on, we went back to the East Coast, and we were standing on a street corner in Washington, DC. We were out for a morning walk together as a band, which is so cute, and we heard this song coming out of the car stereo of this red convertible. It sounded familiar; there was that feeling of something on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't quite access it. And then all of a sudden the realization hit us simultaneously that it was our song and we just started going crazy, jumping up and down and screaming and being very silly."

This song is the ultimate ballad of harried office workers everywhere, guaranteed to be heard at least once a day blaring from a desktop radio among the cubicles in just about every business in the English-speaking world. So let's cover some trivia about everyone's most-cursed day of the week:

Monday is named after the convention which literally calls this day "Moon's Day" after the old European habit of naming the days of the week after gods represented by celestial objects. You probably knew that Sunday, whose taking off makes Monday such a drag for coming back to work, was named after the sun. But did you know that the reason Christian, Islamic, and Hebrew tradition has this as [God's/Yahweh's/Allah's] day is because before any of those religions, sun worshipers took Sunday as their holy day too? Here's a gallery of sun gods , at least one of which, Moloch, was around before the Old Testament was written, since it was mentioned there by name.

Since it seems inevitable, we'll say it for you: "Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays!" The line from the 1999 film Office Space, which the Internet at large will never, ever, ever let die.

Some people find Monday to be such a stressful day that they take an unscheduled day off. The practice dates at least to the 17th century and was called "Saint Monday" as a joke; however, Benjamin Franklin bragged about his diligence as he was "never making a St. Monday." A page from his autobiography says so .

Garfield the cat, title character of the newspaper comic strip, also hates Mondays. Lord knows why, it's not like he has a job to go back to!

And then "Goodbye Blue Monday" is the alternate title of Kurt Vonnegut's novel Breakfast of Champions, so it goes.

Wasted Love Song Chart

Barnegat Light, New Jersey native Matt McAndrew has been writing songs in bands since he was a child. He decided whilst at high school that he was going to focus on a music career and graduated from University of the Arts in 2013. McAndrew released his debut solo album View of The Pines on March 1, 2014.

McAndrew's big break came about later in 2014 when he competed in season 7 of The Voice finishing as runner-up. His versions of "Take Me to Church," "The Blower's Daughter," "Make It Rain" and "Lost Stars" all charted in the Hot 100, the latter being a duet with his coach Adam Levine.

This was written in Toronto during October 2014 by Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, Shimon Moore of the rock band Sick Puppies, and Nettwerk One Publishing writer Mike Fiorentino. It was decided it would be a good song for McAndrew to perform during The Voice finale. The song debuted at #14 in the Hot 100, the highest chart position achieved by one of the show's contestants to date.

The song was produced in New York several days before the finale by Sterling Fox (Lana Del Rey's "Video Games," Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine's "Stereo Hearts").

Just My Imagination Lyrics

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me.
But it was Just My Imagination,
Runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me

Soon we'll be married and raise a family (Oh yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children maybe three.
I tell you I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems;
But it was just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.

Every night on my knees I pray, Dear Lord, Hear my plea;
Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die.
Her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me,
I hear a tender rhapsody, but in reality she doesn't even know me.

Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
No, no, I can't forget her
Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Just my imagination runnin' away with me.

Just My Imagination Song Chart

Motown writers Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong wrote this in the late '60s, but since Psychedelic songs were popular at the time, Whitfield and Strong decided to wait a few years before releasing it. Whitfield pulled it out of the mothballs after the relative failure of The Temptations' "Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite the World)," which hit #33 in 1970. Whitfield wanted to steer the Temptations away from their string of socially relevant songs. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

This was the last single for the Temptations with Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams in the group. Eddie started a solo career and in 1973 scored his biggest hit with "Keep On Truckin'." Williams remained on salary as an advisor, but was plagued with personal problems - he was separated from his wife, owed back taxes and was being treated for alcoholism. He committed suicide in 1973 at age 34. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This was the third of 4 #1 Hits by the Temptations. The track was released in February 1971, and took off right away, peaking at #1 in April.

The Rolling Stones covered this in 1978. They had a hit with another Temptations song, "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," in 1974.

Possibilities of an Impossible Existence Lyrics

Watch where you point your fucking finger.
It's a matter of time before you're all alone.
And you're waiting for someone to save you.
Now listen to these words I speak.

I am not a god.
I'm not telling you to change.
All I want from you is to leave this place.
(I just want this weight off your shoulders.
Let your legs give in so it will crush you.
Open your fucking ears and listen to these words I speak.)

I am not a god, I'm not telling you to change.
All I want from you is to leave this place.
Just leave this place.

This possibility of change has left us all alone.
Now look your family in the eyes and say goodbye.
The last bit of hope we had has been destroyed.
Just close your eyes and never wake up again.

You'll never wake up again.

How dare you enter.
Feel the pressure of our voices crushing your soul.
We don't want you dead.
We just want you to feel what it's like to be burned alive.
I will point my finger now.
And you will listen to these words I speak.

I am not a god, I'm not telling you to change.
All I want from you is to leave this place.
Just leave this place.

The possibility of change has left us all alone.
Now look your family in the eyes and say goodbye.
The last bit of hope we had has been destroyed.
Just close your eyes and never wake up again.

You'll never wake up again.

This is the tenth track from the band's fourth studio album, which was the first to feature Ben Harclerode on drums.

In an interview, Whitechapel singer-songwriter Phil Bozeman stated that the lyrics are based on the struggles with his stepfather, who entered his family after his father died. Phil said that he and his sisters wouldn't see their mother for days, never knowing if she was okay or even coming back in the end. Moreover, his stepfather didn't really care about the children and treated them badly. One can spot Phil's aggression towards his stepfather in the lyrics:

How dare you enter
Feel the pressure of our voices crushing your soul
We don't want you dead
We just want you to feel what it's like to be burned alive

Miss You Lyrics

I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I Miss You
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say
Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some puerto rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah

Oh baby why you wait so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on come on

I've been walking central park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Ask me people, what's the matter with you boy?

Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

Oooh oooh oooh oooh I won't miss you child

I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Yeah, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Miss You Song Chart

The lyrics were seemingly inspired by Mick Jagger's deteriorating relationship with his wife, Bianca. Jagger, has claimed otherwise, saying: "'Miss You' is an emotion, it's not really about a girl. To me, the feeling of longing is what the song is."

Session musicians included Sugar Blue (James Whiting) on harmonica, Mel Collins on sax and Ian MacLagan on electric piano. Collins had played with King Crimson, MacLagan had been in the band Faces with Stones guitarist Ron Wood. Sugar Blue was from Harlem, but was playing in the Paris metro (their subway) when someone from The Stones record company heard him and brought him to the sessions.

The bassline, horns and drums gave this a disco sound. It alienated many of their fans, but also propelled it to the top of the charts. The Stones thought of it as more R&B than disco.

Drummer Charlie Watts explained: "A lot of those songs like 'Miss You' were heavily influenced by going to the discos. You can hear it in a lot of those four on the floor rhythms and the Philadelphia-style drumming. Mick and I used to go to discos a lot... It was a great period. I remember being in Munich and coming back from a club with Mick singing one of the Village People songs - 'Y.M.C.A.', I think it was - and Keith went mad, but it sounded great on the dance floor." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This was the first single released from Some Girls. Jagger took a lead role on the album, mainly because Keith Richards had been arrested for drug possession in Toronto the previous year, and it was unclear what his sentence would be. Facing a maximum of life in prison, Keith had other things to worry about besides making an album. After this was released, the Canadian judge sentenced Richards to continue his addiction treatment and play a benefit concert for the blind.

Jagger and Billy Preston came up with the basic track while touring Europe in 1976. Stones bassist Bill Wyman said: "The idea for those bass lines came from Billy Preston. We'd cut a rough demo a year or so earlier after a recording session. I'd already gone home, and Billy picked up my old bass when they started running through that song. He started doing that bit because it seemed to be the style of his left hand. So when we finally came to do the tune, the boys said, Why don't you work around Billy's idea? So I listened to it once and heard that basic run and took it from there. It took some changing and polishing, but the basic idea was Billy's."

The same day they recorded this track, The Stones came up with the idea for "Start Me Up."

This is a rare Stones song with a dominant bassline. Many of their songs were driven by the rhythm guitar of Keith Richards.

This was the first song The Stones released as a 12-inch single. It was an extended dance mix that ran 8:36 and was released on pink vinyl. This version is not available on CD.

This was the last of eight #1 hits for The Rolling Stones in America.

When this song hit the charts, some other rockers felt safe entering the disco waters. Most notably Rod Stewart, who went disco with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" after hearing this song and seeing that The Stones were getting away with it. Stewart's song was a huge hit, but he faced more of a backlash from rock fans as he seemed to embrace the genre. Rather than shy away from his sexy smash, Stewart embraced it, making the song a staple of his setlists (somewhat ironically) throughout his career.

In the book Playboy Interviews with John Lennon & Yoko Ono (the book version has sections that were edited out of the official interview published in the magazine), Lennon is quoted as saying: "'Bless You' is again about Yoko. I think Mick Jagger took 'Bless You' and turned it into 'Miss You'... The engineer kept wanting me to speed that up - he said, 'This is a hit song if you'd just do it fast.' He was right. 'Cause as 'Miss You' it turned into a hit. I like Mick's record better. I have no ill feelings about it. I think it's a GREAT Stones track, and I really love it. But I do hear that lick in it." (thanks, Susan - Toronto, Canada)

Blues legend Etta James covered this on her year 2000 album Matriarch Of The Blues. It was usually the other way around for The Stones, as they covered many Blues songs in their early years.

Van Halen used the bassline to this on their 1981 song "Push Comes To Shove."

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards performed this at the 2001 "Concert For New York," which helped victims of the attacks on The World Trade Center.

In 2002, Dr. Dre re-mixed this for the Austin Powers In: Goldmember soundtrack. (thanks, Greg - Calgary, United States)

Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix) Lyrics

Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix) Song Chart

The title track of Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy EP, this is one of the British electronic music artist's best-known songs. In October 2011, NME placed it at #42 on its list of "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years."

Aphex Twin, aka Richard James, explained the story of this slice of industrial intensity with ghoulish lyrics to Index magazine: "Come to Daddy came about while I was just hanging around my house, getting pissed and doing this crappy death metal jingle," he recalled. "Then it got marketed and a video was made, and this little idea that I had, which was a joke, turned into something huge. It wasn't right at all."

James regards the finished article as too tame. "You do notice that you'll start to clench your fists and that's a good sign," he told Loaded. "But the clench factor wasn't tight enough for me."

The song was covered by The Dillinger Escape Plan on their 2002 EP with Mike Patton, Irony is a Dead Scene.

The track is heard twice in the Nicolas Cage film 8mm, when the vinyl record is played being in Machine's room and also on a TV screen in Dino Velvet's office.

The Chris Cunningham directed music video shows childlike creatures, all of whom bear James' grinning face pursuing an elderly lady, who then confronts a demon. The clip was filmed around the Thamesmead South housing estate, the same location as where Stanley Kubrick shot many scenes in A Clockwork Orange.

Pitchfork named the urban nightmare clip #1 in their list of Top 50 Music Videos of the 1990s. They said: "Darkly comic and just plain dark, Chris Cunningham's tale of television unleashing hell in a dilapidated housing block plays like a gothic graphic novel, an ADD-riddled version of Village of the Damned, and an H.R. Giger-designed haunted house."

Fool To Cry Lyrics

When I come home baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she says
"Daddy what's wrong?"
I put my head on her shoulder
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
"Daddy you're a Fool To Cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she says?
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

Daddy you're a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry

Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a certified fool, now
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool

Fool To Cry Song Chart

This is an introspective ballad that was not typical of most Rolling Stones songs.

With Mick Taylor gone, The Stones were auditioning lead guitarists while recording Black And Blue. American session man Wayne Perkins played on this and almost got the job, but Ron Wood beat him out.

This was the only song on Black And Blue to chart in England or the US.

Keith Richards fell asleep while they were performing this in 1976 while touring Germany.

Richards: "I was just glad somebody in the band could sing that falsetto. I got a pretty good falsetto myself. But when you got a singer and he can hit those notes, baby go for it. And Mick was always fascinated with the falsetto Soul singers like Aaron Neville. That's crafty stuff, you know what I mean? But he'd been listening to so many people. It's kinda like what goes in, will come out. You'll just hear a phrase or a piece of music. And one way or another it's part of your experience. And a lot of the time it comes out what you do without even realizing it. I don't really like to think about these things too much. It's more to do with feeling than intellectualizing about it." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The Canadian duo Tegan and Sara covered this in 2013 for the soundtrack for the HBO drama Girls. Their version can be found on the album, Girls, Vol. 1 (Music From the HBO Original Series). "Lena Dunham (Girls creator and star) reached out about us doing a track for the soundtrack," Tegan told the Toronto Sun. "When she said which one we were going to do I went and listened to it. I was like, 'Oh my god, this is a nightmare! How are we going to do this? It's like he's talking, he's meandering.' I was like, 'What the f---?"

"In the end I loved doing it," she continued, "I thought it was so great. I haven't really listened to a lot of them other than the popular Rolling Stones songs but it was cool to get into a deep cut. And the response has been insane. These teenage girls are like, 'I love this song!' And I say, 'You're welcome, Rolling Stones. We just got you into another generation.'"
