I Grieve Lyrics

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
Is just the way that we are tied in
But there's no one home
I Grieve, for you
You leave, me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on and on

The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
It's empty, empty cage
And I can't handle this
I grieve, for you
You leave, me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on

Life carries on in the people I meet
In everyone that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Just the car that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
As life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

Did I dream this belief
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I will find relief
I grieve

This slightly off-beat uptempo number was written by Deke Leonard, who played lead guitar and also supplied the vocals. It is said to have been inspired by Johnny Winter, presumably by his guitar style rather than a fascination for chimneys.

The single runs to 3 minutes 6 seconds, and was produced by Mel Baister. The album version runs to 5 minutes 17 seconds. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

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.

Home Sweet Home Song Chart

The lyrics are a bleak story about a man who's wife jumps out a window with their child. He then uses the insurance money to go to a casino, wins big, and buys a nicer house than their first home.

Gabriel wanted to explore the motives of suicide: "What frightens you is that you can't understand what drives people to do it."

Hej, Gamle Man! Lyrics

Hej, Gamle Man! Song Chart

Running to 3 minutes 24 seconds and released on the Polar label in 1970 as the B-side of "Lycka," it has the distinction of being the first song ever recorded with the vocals of all four ABBA members. It was though recorded not as ABBA but as Björn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson, and features a lead male vocal.

In English this Swedish title renders "Hello, Old Man."

A folk number about an old soldier, this song spent 15 weeks at the top of the Svensktoppen chart, Sweden's equivalent of the BBC.

"Hej, Gamle Man!" was also recorded as "Tyck Om Varann" (which does not translate well in English) and in German as "Hey, Musikant" ie "Hey, Musician." (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England, for all above)

This was inspired by 14 paintings in a Texas chapel by the artist Rothko. Guitarist David Rhodes took Gabriel there while he was touring the US.

Gabriel felt the spirituality of the song matched the paintings, which were dedicated to human and civil rights.

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."

Sucker Song Chart

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

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.

Need Ur Love Song Chart

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

Die Alone Song Chart

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."
