Home Sweet Home Lyrics


Met this girl called Josephine and took her up on my machine
We had a little fun and now we got a little one
Had to get married, being chased out of town
Found ourselves a place to live, we put all our money down

Call it Home Sweet Home, home sweet home
Eleven floors up in a tower block
Happy just to have a home
I've gone and changed the lock on our home

Nothing really worked out right, things got broke,
They stayed that way
None of our friends came around at night and little Sam got
No place to play
"We've got to get out of here, Bill" she said "I've been telling
You all the while"
When I came home from work that night she'd jumped out the
Window with our child

From our Home Sweet Home, home sweet home
Just a place to take a rest, just a place to make our nest
We call it our home

When the insurance money came through seemed dirty didn't know what to do
Took the cash went down the casino, down on the wheel on the double
And I won, oh yes I won, like I never won before
Bought myself a country house with an antique carved oak door

It was Home Sweet Home, home sweet home
Just a place to lay our head think of all those things we said
About in our Home Sweet Home.

    My Baby Just Cares For Me Lyrics


    My baby don't care for shows
    My baby don't care for clothes
    My Baby Just Cares For Me
    My baby don't care for cars and races
    My baby don't care for high-tone places

    Liz Taylor is not his style
    And even Lana Turner's smile
    Is somethin' he can't see
    My baby don't care who knows
    My baby just cares for me

    Baby, my baby don't care for shows
    And he don't even care for clothes
    He cares for me
    My baby don't care
    For cars and races
    Baby don't care for
    He don't care for high-tone places

    Liz Taylor is not his style
    And even Liberace's smile
    Is something he can't see
    Is something he can't see
    I wonder what's wrong with baby
    My baby just cares for
    My baby just cares for
    My baby just cares for me

    My Baby Just Cares For Me Song Chart
  • This jazz standard was written by Walter Donaldson (music) and Gus Kahn (lyrics) for the 1930 film adaptation of the musical comedy Whoopee!, where it was first performed by Eddie Cantor. Along with the film's "Makin' Whoopie," it would become a signature tune for Cantor.
  • Peaking at #82 on the UK chart, this would be a minor hit for Nina Simone when it was included on her debut album, but it would later revitalize her career and introduce her to a new generation of fans when it was borrowed for a Chanel No. 5 ad in 1987. The re-released track, through Charly Records, would peak at #5 on the UK Singles Chart.
  • Simone, who always had a tenuous relationship with record labels, was too busy being outraged to enjoy her newfound popularity, claiming she didn't receive any royalties from the popular TV commercial. According to NME, she said of the negotiations in 1987: "They went behind my back and stole from each other like I was a slave. They took me and sold me from one record company to another because they couldn't deal with me openly!"
  • Aardman Animations produced a claymation music video to accompany the 1987 re-release, with Simone portrayed as a cat performing at a nightclub.
  • The entire Little Girl Blue album was recorded in one 14-hour session, with this song as the last to be recorded.
  • Edward Norton and Natasha Lyonne performed this in Woody Allen's 1996 musical comedy film Everyone Says I Love You.
  • This has also been recorded by Nat King Cole, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Mary Wells, Amanda Lear, Dick Van Dyke, George Michael, and Cyndi Lauper.
  • Florence Welch, of Florence + the Machine, performed this with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra for the New Year's Eve show Hootenanny in 2009.
  • Danny Thomas performed this on his TV series Make Room for Daddy with Marjorie Lord in the 1961 episode "Keeping Up with the Joneses."

    The Family And The Fishing Net Lyrics


    Suffocated by mirrors, stained by dreams
    Her honey belly pulls the seams
    Curves are still upon the hinge
    Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin

    Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night
    The sponge is full, well out of sight
    All around the conversations
    Icing on the warm flesh cake

    Light creeps through her secret tunnels
    Sucked into the open spaces
    Burning out in sudden flashes
    Draining blood from well-fed faces

    Desires form in subtle whispers
    Flex the muscles in denial
    Up and down its pristine cage
    So the music, so the trial

    Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens
    Dance in circles, they the blessed
    Man and wife, undressed by all
    Their grafted trunks in heat possessed

    Even as the soft skins tingle
    They mingle with the homeless mother
    Who loves the day but lives another
    That once was hers

    The worried father, long lost lover
    Brushes ashes with his broom
    Rehearses jokes to fly and hover
    Bursting over the bride and groom

    And the talk goes on

    Memories crash on tireless waves
    The lifeguards whom the winter saves

    Silence falls the guillotine
    All the doors are shut
    Nervous hands grip tight the knife
    In the darkness, till the cake is cut

    Passed around, in little pieces
    The body and the flesh
    The family and the fishing-net
    And another in the mesh

    The body and the flesh

    The Family And The Fishing Net Song Chart
  • This is about the absurdities of traditional weddings. The territorial battles, rings, and vows seem ridiculous from an outsiders point of view.
  • The lyrics were inspired by the early poetry of Dylan Thomas.
  • Gabriel's marriage to his first wife Jill hit a crisis when she had an affair with David Lord, the co producer of Security, and in this song he foreshadowed the marital tension. He told Mojo April 2010: "We think we're islands, but we're all connected in a landmass. What you see above the water is two people getting married. But beneath the water are the tentacles of two larger, dominant organisms which are the families making connection through those two particular tentacles. But we never observe and recognise that."

  • The title track of Charli XCX's second album, the song is the British songstress' way of getting one over on all those in the music industry who initially didn't believe in her. "It's about all the people who have doubted me," she told The Metro. "It's me giving the finger to anyone who has questioned my validity as an artist. "

    "That song is really fun for me to sing and I always flash my pants on it," Charli added. "It's all just personal situations and things that have happened to me."
  • Charli XCX told Billboard magazine: "I didn't fully get my voice across until Icona Pop's 'I Love It,' but no one really knows that's me [singing on the song], so I felt kind of mad and channeled that anger into Sucker."

    D.I.Y. Lyrics


    Don't tell me what I will do, 'cause I won't
    Don't tell me to believe in you, 'cause I don't
    Be on your guard, better hostile and don't risk affection
    Like flesh to the bone in the no-go zone
    You're still waiting for the resurrection
    Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
    And I'll tell you straight in the eye

    D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y.
    Do it yourself

    Everyone want to be what he not, what he not
    Nobody happy with what he got, what he got
    You function like a dummy with a new ventriloquist
    Do you say nothing yourself?
    Hanging like a thriller on the final twist
    You know you're getting stuck on the shelf
    Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
    And I'll tell you straight in the eye

    D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y. D.I.Y.

    When things get so big, I don't trust them at all
    You want some control,you've got to keep it small

    D.I.Y. Song Chart
  • The title stands for "Do It Yourself." The song is about taking responsibility and control of your life.
  • Gabriel used an acoustic arrangement to distinguish this from his work with Genesis.
  • This was released as a single, but despite heavy promotion it was a commercial failure. When this did not sell as a single, Charisma Records, Gabriel's label in England, re-released it in September 1978 with both "Mother Of Violence" and "Me And My Teddy Bear" on the B-side. The original, released that May, was backed with "Perspective."
  • The mostly acoustic sound was chosen in hopes of mimicking the chart success of "Solsbury Hill." Bootlegs contain heavier electric versions of this.

  • This girl-group homage is one of two tracks on Sucker that Charli collaborated on with Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij. (The other one is "Die Tonight.") "He's just one of the most talented producers I've ever worked with, he really is," she told Digital Spy . "Being in the studio with him is always this intense… we just do everything together the week that we're working together: we'll sleep in the same bed, we'll go and watch the same shows and snuggle on the sofa, then we'll write a song, then we'll get breakfast, then we'll shout at each other for a bit. It's like so intense, it's good."
  • Rostam Batmanglij told Billboard magazine that Charli, "has this primal ability to write melodies and lyrics that are absolutely perfect, and to do it really fast."
  • Speaking to Radio.com about the track, Charli said it was "inspired by a lot of ye-ye pop, which is like '60s French girls. So like Sylvie Vartan, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall, people like that."

    "I really like the kind of shout-y, childlike vocals that they did," she explained. "When I first started speaking to Rostam, those were the references that I gave him. We took a trip to Sweden together to work in this strange, empty hotel, which was kind of like The Shining. That's where we wrote 'Need Ur Love.'"

    Digging In The Dirt Lyrics


    Something in me, dark and sticky
    All the time it's getting strong
    No way of dealing with this feeling
    I can't go on like this too long

    [Repeat x2]
    This time you've gone too far
    This time you've gone too far
    This time you've gone too far,
    I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

    Don't talk back, just drive the car
    Shut your mouth, I know what you are
    Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel
    Don't turn around, this is for real

    Digging In The Dirt
    Stay with me I need support
    I'm digging in the dirt
    Find the places I got hurt
    Open up the places I got hurt

    The more I look, the more I find
    As I close on in, I get so blind
    I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
    I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

    [Repeat x2]
    This time you've gone too far
    This time you've gone too far
    This time you've gone too far,
    I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

    Don't talk back, just drive the car
    Shut your mouth, I know what you are
    Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel
    Don't turn around, this is for real

    Digging in the dirt
    Stay with me I need support
    I'm digging in the dirt
    Find the places I got hurt
    Open up the places I got hurt

    Digging in the dirt
    Stay with me I need support
    I'm digging in the dirt
    Find the places I got hurt
    Open up the places I got hurt
    I got hurt

    Digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt

    Digging In The Dirt Song Chart
  • This song evolved out of a project where Gabriel studied inmates on death row to find out what made them kill. It's an angry song that deals with Gabriel's dark side. He explained to Uncut magazine: "I read lots trying to understand the buttons that operate and make you feel the way you do. When you have self knowledge, you don't fall into the same behavioral traps. One of the keys is – take responsibility. Blaming anyone else, especially in relationships is a futile activity and not going to move you forward."
  • Gabriel said this song is about "investigating the layers within yourself."
  • As part of his research on murderers, Gabriel read the book Our Why We Kill. Gabriel recalled to The Daily Mirror: "I'm sure, like any song, it reflects what was going on in my life,. I was reading a book called Why We Kill about what murderers have in common, the psychological make-up that unites them."

    "I was also going through therapy myself so that had a bearing," he added. "It wasn't a cathartic experience where I revisited all the emotions, but the contrast between the dark and more reflective mood was something we concentrated on."
  • This was Gabriel's first new solo vocal recording in six years.
  • This won a Grammy for best short-form video in 1993. Gabriel opened the awards that year with a performance of "Steam."
  • Gabriel told The Daily Mirror: "That was probably the hardest one to do on the album because it was written around a groove and it just didn't make sense at first. I was really missing the bass and drums."

    Die Alone Lyrics


    I roll over and go to reach for you, you're gone
    This bed's empty without you
    You said you're moving on
    But I'm having some trouble getting there
    But dwelling ain't getting me, uhh, anywhere
    Fuckin' Valentine's Day
    Fuck February, stuffed teddy bear, guts everywhere
    Machete on the floor, I smashed up every mirror
    Yeah, how do I look?
    You fuckin' just let me here to die didn't you?
    Why didn't you respond yet?
    I've written you five or six different times and
    I'm gettin' sick and tired of always apologizing to you
    I didn't do shit to deserve what you're puttin' me through
    This couldn't be true, we can't be over
    So violets are blue, roses are red
    Why is it everything I do I'm reminded of you?

    Saw two white coffins in my dreams last night
    I saw my Lord Jesus with his hands pointing toward the light
    Saw my old sweetheart she said, "honey, I'm back"
    Just so you don't Die Alone, just so you don't die alone

    Guess I gotta deal with the fact that, you ain't never comin' back
    Now every woman that I look at I'm lookin' for you
    So I'm findin' something the matter with them
    Excuse to not see anyone
    Useless, rather pick up the phone, not at all, followin' protocol
    I get bowled like bowling balls
    Grow balls and go to call to talk, forget what I want to say
    Damnit I'm drawin' blanks like I'm playin' hangman
    I'm sick of playin' these games, I can't handle this heartbreak
    It's makin' me wanna blow out my brains
    Like birthday cake candles
    Hang up the phone and I shake, I think I may have made a mistake
    Can't escape the madness
    Turn the radio on, I hate this sad song
    But I can't even change the station
    The same one's playin' on eight channels
    I lay awake in shambles, I'm startin to hallucinate
    I'm havin' all these visions of us at each other's wakes
    In caskets and suddenly I wake and that's when I know I

    Saw two white coffins in my dreams last night
    I saw my Lord Jesus with his hands pointing toward the light
    Saw my old sweetheart she said, "honey, I'm back"
    Just so you don't die alone, just so you don't die alone

    Give me one more, bottle for the pain
    Give me one more for the memories
    Give me one more, I'll make it taste like a steak
    It'll help alleviate
    It'll soothe this ache
    Of trying to fake
    That she's really, she's really coming back

    And it's been a while now, but I finally realize how
    Much reality sucks, but it's just something about our love
    I'm still in denial now, dealing with the finality of it
    And it's making me crazy thinking of the days we, spent
    And how I'll never hold you again
    And there ain't shit I can do about it
    Now my head is overcrowded
    With these clouded memories and I can't seem to get you out it
    And how the fuck do you sleep comfortably
    Knowing what you done did to me, huh?
    Did it even occur to you that I loved you, humbly
    Completely, madly, head over heels for you
    Was you and me, wants us to be together forever
    It was supposed to be us, but you crushed the dream
    We was supposed to die together, and it's killing me so much
    When I sleep I wake up dead, must be why I

    Saw two white coffins in my dreams last night
    I saw my Lord Jesus with his hands pointing toward the light
    Saw my old sweetheart she said, "honey, I'm back"
    Just so you don't die alone, just so you don't die alone

  • This song finds Eminem opening up about his relationship Kim Mathers and the struggles he's faced since their second marriage ended in early April 2006.
  • The hook and bridge features vocals by Kobe. The singer previously collaborated with Eminem on "Talkin' 2 Myself," a track from 2010's Recovery.
  • Detroit musician Luis Resto's song "Just So You Don't Die Alone" is sampled on the hook and the bridge. The track is off his 2013 album One Small Light.
  • The song is from ShadyXV, a compilation album performed by various artists of Shady Records. The record was released to celebrate the label's fifteenth anniversary. Shady Records co-founder Paul Rosenberg explained to Billboard magazine: "Marshall [Mathers] had some music he was looking for a home for, and we were looking for something to possibly attach it to. So when we realized it was our 15th anniversary earlier this year, we decided to create a project to celebrate that. We haven't released a greatest hits for the label yet, so this is it."

    Big Time Lyrics


    I'm on my way, I'm making it
    I've got to make it show, yeah
    So much larger than life
    I'm going to watch it growing

    The place where I come from is a small town
    They think so small
    They use small words
    But not me
    I'm smarter than that
    I worked it out
    I've been stretching my mouth
    To let those big words come right out

    I've had enough, I'm getting out
    To the city, the big big city
    I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
    There's so much stuff I will own
    And I will pray to a big god
    As I kneel in the big church

    Big Time
    I'm on my way-I'm making it
    Big time big time
    I've got to make it show yeah
    Big time big time
    So much larger than life
    Big time
    I'm going to watch it growing
    Big time

    My parties all have big names
    And I greet them with the widest smile
    Tell them how my life is one big adventure
    And always they're amazed
    When I show them 'round my house, to my bed
    I had it made like a mountain range
    With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
    And my heaven will be a big heaven
    And I will walk through the front door

    Big time
    I'm on my way-I'm making it
    Big time big time
    I've got to make it show-yeah
    Big time big time

    Big time
    My eyes are getting bigger
    Big time
    And my mouth
    Big time
    My belly is getting bigger
    Big time
    And my bank account
    Big time
    Look at my circumstance
    Big time
    And the bulge in my big big big big big big big

  • Gabriel: "A satirical story about a basic human urge... success."
  • This tells the story of a man from a small town who grows to be larger than life. The ending is heavily processed as Gabriel's voice gets deeper and deeper, creating a sense of size until it ends cold.
  • Stewart Copeland, who was with The Police at the time, played drums.
  • The video featured outstanding special effects and played often on MTV. Gabriel raised the bar earlier that year with his video for "Sledgehammer."
  • This was used as the official theme song for WWE Wrestlemania 22. (thanks, Matt - NY, NY)

    January 28th Lyrics


    The real is back, the ville is back
    Flow bananas here, peel this back
    And what you'll find is, your highness
    Can paint a picture that is vivid enough to cure blindness
    Carolina's finest
    You knew that already
    And turned to the greatest, I proved that already
    And if you would like, I do it twice
    I just sharpen my blade for a minute but came lost in my ways
    This for my niggas that was tossin' the graves
    Every so often I fade deep in my thoughts and get lost in the days
    We used to play before your coffin was made
    Just got the call nigga got caught with a straight
    Hope he's okay
    Just got paid what Cochran got paid to free OJ
    Just to share my life on the stage in front of strangers
    Who know a nigga fall to well, and that's the danger
    Know me better than I know myself
    I rip a page out my notebook in anger
    And let these thoughts linger singing

    Don't give 'em too much you
    Don't let 'em take control
    This one thing you do
    Don't let 'em taint your soul
    If you believe in God
    One things for sure
    If you ain't aim too high
    Then you aim too low

    What's the price for a black man life?
    I check the toe tag, not one zero in sight
    I turn the TV on, not one hero in sight
    Unless he dribble or he fiddle with mics
    Look out the window cause tonight the city lit up with lights, cameras and action
    May no man alive come through and damage my faction
    I brought you nigga with me cause I love you like my brothers
    And your mothers' like my mother
    Think we need a plan of action
    The bigger we get the more likely egos collide
    It's just physics, please let's put our egos aside
    You my niggas, and should our worst tenancies turn us into enemies
    I hope that we remember these
    Nights fulla Hennessey
    When Hov aroun we switch up to that D'usse
    Gotta show respect, one day we tryna stay where you stay
    Cause we from where you from
    I'm not talkin' bout the slums
    I'm talkin' 'bout that mind state that keep a black nigga dumb
    Keep a black nigga dyin' by a black nigga gun
    And keep on listening to the frontin' ass rap niggas son
    Yeah I said son
    This is New York's finest
    For 11 winters straight I took on New York's climate
    Like show me New York's ladder
    I climb it and set the bar so high that you gotta get Obama
    to force the air force to find it
    Never mind it, you'll never reach that
    Cole is the hypnotist, control the game whenever he snap
    That's every track

    Don't give 'em too much you
    Don't let 'em take control
    This one thing you do
    Don't let 'em taint your soul
    If you believe in God
    One things for sure
    If you ain't aim too high
    Then you aim too low

    I ain't serve no pies, I ain't slang no dope
    I ain't bring no lies, niggas sang my quotes
    I don't play no games, boy I ain't no joke
    Like the great Rakim, when I make my notes
    You niggas might be L or you might be Kane
    Or you might be Slick Rick with 19 chains
    Or you might be Drizzy Drake or Kendrick Lamar
    But check your birth date nigga, you ain't the God
    Nah you ain't the God
    Nigga Cole the God

  • Jermaine 'J' Cole was born on January 28, 1985 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. As well as titling this track after his birthday, Cole also named the album after his childhood home.
