Wipe the Case Away Song Chart

On June 3, 2014, Bobby Shmurda was arrested in the Brownsville area of Brooklyn for gun possession. It is one of a number of run-ins that the former drug-dealer has had with the law. This song finds Shmurda reflecting on his past legal troubles and wishing his attorney could make them all magically disappear:

I let my lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away

Get Together Lyrics

Love is but a song to sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody Get Together
Try to love one another
Right now

Some may come and some may go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Right now
Right now

Get Together Song Chart

This was written in 1963 by Dino Valenti from Quicksilver Messenger Service. He signed away rights to it when he was imprisoned for marijuana possession. The Youngbloods recorded it and gave the composer credit to Chet Powers, Valenti's real name.

When this was released in 1967, it flopped. It became a hit in 1969 when The National Conference of Christians and Jews distributed it to radio and TV stations to support "Brotherhood Week."

The California group We Five recorded this in 1965. Their version went to US #31.

This song was the last of The Dave Clark Five 's eight Top Ten UK hits, reaching #8 when they recorded it as "Everybody Get Together" in 1970. The backing vocals on their version were done by the students of the Central London School of Speech and Drama. Included amongst the backing vocalists was one Peter Davison who went on to star in the BBC TV series All Creatures Great And Small, 1977-79, and as the fifth Dr. Who, 1982-84.

Sexual Hallucination Lyrics

Red lips, a sinister tongue
(I'll taste you until I can't)
Our trip has just begun
(I'll fly with you til the end)
Psychotic voice
(You are in my veins now)
And there's no denying
(There's no denying)
As we both burst into flames

(You'll come down)
There's no coming down
(Higher ground)
Floating over ground
(Out of body)
Out of body
Inner mind
(I'm your slave)
This is what I crave
I'm lost, I'm saved
It's my obsession, possession began
(Physical, psychical, illumination)
Intoxication, fascination
(Mystical, Sexual Hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)

You watch me come undone
(It makes me want you more)
I'm crawling into the unknown
(I'll follow you to the core)
I feel like I'm dying
(I'm right beside you)
You whisper, "we're flying"
(There's no denying)
We both converge as one

(Don't come down)
There's no coming down
(Higher ground)
We're floating over ground
(Out of body)
Out of body
Inner mind
(I'm your slave)
This is what I crave
I'm lost, I'm saved
It's my obsession, possession began
(Physical, psychical, illumination)
Intoxication, fascination
(Mystical, sexual hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)

(I can barely breathe)
I can barely breathe
(I can barely move)
I can barely move
(I can barely) separate (me from) you
This is what I crave
To be your slave

Red lips, sinister tongue

It's my obsession, possession began
(Physical, psychical, illumination)
Intoxication, fascination
(Mystical, sexual, hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)

Sexual Hallucination Song Chart

At 6:18 minutes, this is the longest song In This Moment have recorded. Frontwoman Maria Brink told Rocksverige : "I like that the album's got different things. It's got the anger, the sarcasm, the real truth, the sexual stuff and this song to me, it hypnotizes you and it takes you away. We were afraid that Atlantic Records were gonna have a problem with some of our longer songs, because they're a major label, but they loved it and had no problems with it. They were really supportive and didn't compromise the art at all. We're pretty grateful."

The song features guest vocals from Shinedown's Brent Smith. Said Brink: "We've fallen in love with them (Shinedown). They're just such stand up people and so kind and so supportive of the band. We didn't think Brent would do the song, they were getting ready to do a new album and so on, but when I finally asked him, he didn't think about it twice. The cool part of him doing that song with us, is that no one's ever heard Brent like that with anyone else."

Wallflower Lyrics

Six by six, from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor you got damp in the bed
They're trying to get you crazy get you out of your head
They feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defenses, no compromise
There's nothing you can do, the day can be long
You mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong

Hold on, hold on, hold on,
Hold on, hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
You faced the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see the road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

They take you out the light burns your eyes
To the talking room it's not surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath
They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
You face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see the road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say you you, I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
I will do what I can do

A Tale of 2 Citiez Lyrics

Since a youngin' always dreamed of gettin' rich
Look at me my nigga
Fantasize about a white picket fence
With some trees my nigga
Used to want a pathfinder with some tints
Thats all I need my nigga
Throw some 20's on that bitch and get it wrenched
But now I see my nigga
That the worlds a lot bigger ever since
Picked up the paper and they say my nigga Eddie caught a body, I'm convinced
Anybody is a killer, all you gotta do is push 'em to the limps
Fuck being timid in the Civic
Politicin' with the pushers and the pimps
I'm tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse?
Yeah can I get a glimpse?

Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?
They robbin' niggas on the daily
Keep on blamin' nigga that ain't never had things
Guess not, last night they pulled up on my nigga at the light like
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it

Small town nigga Hollywood dreams
I know that everything that glitters ain't gold
I know the shits not always good as it seems
But tell me till you get it how could you know
How could you know? How could you know?
Listen up I'm about to go and get rich
Fuck with me my nigga
We gonna slug around the Ville and hit a lick
Cop some tree my nigga
And some powder, bag it up and make it flip
You gon' see my nigga
One day we gon' graduate and cop a brick
And that's the key my nigga
And listen up I'm bout to go and get rich
Stand back and watch if you want to nigga
Me I want my pockets fat about a bitch
Tired of seein' niggas flaunt, I wanna flaunt too nigga
Watch some rollers in the fuckin' Crown Vic
Tryna lock a nigga up, that's what they won't do nigga
Wanna know a funny thing about this shit?
Even if you let em' kill your dream it'll haunt you nigga

Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?I
I look around like do you want to be another nigga
That ain't never had things
Guess not, last night we pulled up on my nigga at the light like
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it

Father forgive me for me, childish ways
I look outside and all the clouds are gray
I need your hands to take me, miles away
Your wish is my command, my command, my command, but
Before you go I've got to, want you now
Whatever goes up surely, must come down
And you get your piece but no peace, won't be found
So why just take me man, take me man, take me man
Your wish is my command, my command, my command

The beat for this track was supplied by New York native Vinylz, who also produced "Fire Squad" on Cole's Forest Hills Drive album, as well as Nicki Minaj's "All Things Go" from The Pinkprint. The song came together when Cole took a trip to the east coast. "He called and said, 'I really want you to sit with me and work on this album for the whole week – and he didn't really sit with many producers, it was just two or three," Vinylz recalled to MTV News. "So I played him a bunch of beats, he picked about 15 of them and that's the one that stuck out."

Secret World Lyrics

I stood in this sun sheltered place
'Til I could see the face behind the face
All that had gone before had left no trace

Down by the railway siding
In our Secret World, we were colliding
All the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air
Did you think you didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

In this house of make believe
Divided in two, like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive

[Chorus]
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

Oh the wheel is turning spinning round and round
And the house is crumbling but the stairways stand

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
Whatever it is, we are all the same

Making it up in our secret world [x3]
Shaking it up
Breaking it up
Making it up in our secret world

Seeing things that were not there
On a wing on a prayer
In this state of disrepair

[Chorus]

Shh, listen

Maybe I Should Call Lyrics

Long distance in the way of what could be
Even when you're here, you're not with me
She's having the child I should've carried
I'll be damned if y'all get married
How's the baby? How you adjusting?
Ain't gon work, you got problems trusting
Let me stop, I'm supposed to be focused
But these nights are the coldest

Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me

I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I Should Call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw

Maybe that's why I ain't got a man
'Cause I be doing too much thinking
Tryna compensate for your absence
But no drug can take me where you can
No I just want you where I am
1,000 of them, just want one him
Drowning in all of my excuses
Heart is feeling useless
Probably should've used it less

Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me

I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw

After the last time we talked
Oh, I was a mess
You had me stressed
Oh no no no no no
I wrote the text, I didn't send it
Dialed your number, but said forget it
Oh, what would it change
She's still in the way
But I

I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw

Maybe I Should Call Song Chart

This piano-based song finds a vulnerable K. Michelle grappling over a long-distance affair in which there are communication issues:

I love him, but I never call
Maybe that's my flaw
Maybe that's why I ain't got a man 'cause I be doing too much thinking

The tender lyrics are inspired by an actual relationship. Michelle explained to Billboard magazine: "I was dating someone for eight months and that was his situation. He was long distance, he had a child on the way and I was led to believe that after this child was born that we would have a chance to fully be together. And as a woman, I preach to women about, 'You can't be second and you better tell the man what you think" and all of that, and it's amazing how you can look up and you're one of those women."

"I built my career on being honest with my fans," Michelle added. "So if I ever find myself in a situation that I'm not proud of, I don't plan on lying about it. I don't plan on hiding it. So that was actually the first record I wrote for this album and I was so f---ed up mentally. That song was my way of saying 'we need to stop talking.' I was being so stubborn like, I'm not going to do this because it's real life what I'm going through."

The whole of the Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart? album is about one person. Michelle told The Boombox regarding the mystery man. "I sent all these songs to him. He said, 'This is sad it has come to this.'"

That Voice Again Lyrics

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear That Voice Again

I'm listening to the conversation:
Judge and jury in my head
It's coloring everything
All we did and said
And still I head that sharp tongue talking
Talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
Just listen to the wind

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly
There must be more than this
It's only in uncertainty
That we're naked and alive
I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
Hear it through the things you said
I can get so scared
Listen to the wind

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again

What I carry in my heart
Brings us so close or so far apart
Only love can make love

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
I hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

Gabriel: "About judgmental attitudes being a barrier between people."

The "voice" represents judgment.

Original title was "First Stone." Gabriel changed it so it would be more personal and less biblical.

Gabriel wrote 3 sets of lyrics before guitarist David Rhodes helped him write the ones he would use.

The last song about Mozo, a mercurial stranger Gabriel created who would come and go, changing people's lives. He appeared in "On The Air," "Exposure", "Here Comes The Flood," "Red Rain," and "Down The Dolce Vita," but the Mozo story as a stage production or movie never developed.

Honest Lyrics

We don’t communicate can you not say what’s on your mind?
And I see it every day you hide the truth behind your eyes.
Honestly, there’s no need for you to hide.
Talk to me, can’t you see? I’m on your side.

Honest, honest.
Say what it is you’re trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that walks away.
Is it in you to be honest? Honest.
Is it in you to be honest?

I still remember the day we met I was hanging on your every word.
I didn't think I would ever let somebody see into my world.
Honestly, can’t you see? I’m on your side.

Say what it is you’re trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that's walking away.
Is it in you to be honest? Honest.
Is it in you to be honest?

Is it all in my head or was it something I said?
Because I’m trying to forgive, and now I’m trying to forget,
You’re telling me all of this, no more hearing of it,
It was all just a lie, was it all just a lie?
Now I’m walking away cause everything that you say
All that you ever tell to me is lies, lies.

Honest, honest. Is it in you to be honest?
Say what it is you’re trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that walks away.
Is it in you to be honest?
Honest. Is it in you to be honest?
Is it in you to be honest?

Honest Song Chart

The first single from Kodaline's second album, shows the band developing the trademark sound of their 2013 debut A Perfect World. They attributed the harder edge to producer Garret "Jacknife" Lee, who has worked with a variety of rock artists, including U2, R.E.M., Bloc Party, Snow Patrol and Weezer. "Jacknife opened our eyes to different ways of working," explained bassist Jason Boland. "He gave us a lesson in experimentation. The way he records is amazing. He has everything in the studio turned on, synths all over the place, instruments everywhere. If you want to play something, you pick it up."

Asked by Digital Spy about the reasoning behind the Coming Up For Air album title, Jason Boland replied: "It kind of crept up on us, the whole album. We finished it almost before we had the pressure to start doing it, really. It was our first moment of actually taking a breath and stopping as a band for nearly two years since we started touring, so it's kind of symbolic. It fits with where we were with the album."

The band wrote this epic ballad about a once close friend with whom they they all fell out. Vocalist Stephen Garrigan told The Sun: "It's about losing your trust in someone."

Milgram's 37 (we do what we're told) Song Chart

This is about the social experiments of Stanley Milgram, a Yale professor who had subjects administer electric shocks to a person if they answered a question wrong. The person being shocked was an actor who writhed in pain as the shocks got larger. Milgram wanted to see if the subjects would administer the shocks when the experimenter told them to, even though they were causing apparent pain in the person. Almost all subjects administered the highest level of shock despite the actor pounding the wall in apparent agony.

"37" came from the number of subjects who administered the maximum shock in one of the experiments.

Gabriel summarized the results of these experiments with the phrase "We do what we're told." The subjects did not want to administer the shocks, but did so because the experimenter told them to.

Gabriel sung versions of this in concerts long before it was released. They can be found on some bootlegs.

When he performed this in concert, Gabriel got the crowd chanting "We do what we're told." Since the song was not yet released and the crowd did not know its meaning, they were ironically aping the results of the experiment by doing just as Gabriel told them.

Gabriel asked Milgram for permission to use video of his experiments for stage displays and music videos, but Milgram refused, not wanting his work used for entertainment.

This song was featured on the episode of Miami Vice "Forgive Us Our Debts," December 12, 1986. (thanks, Pablo - Miami, FL)

I Can Fly Lyrics

I, can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
I, can fly

I had bright wishes in the summer, I was bathing in sunlight
Painting in the garden like a ghost in Mid-July
Running fast from something with my eyes wide like
Saucers spinning in the sun

I had a dream that I was fine
I wasn't crazy, I was divine

I, can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
I, can fly

Your lies were hard kisses in the summer
I was dreaming of a lake
Dreaming of the water where I'd rise like a phoenix
Or an iron from the fire
I've got things to tell you like I know that you're a liar

I had a dream that I was fine
I wasn't crazy, I was divine

I, can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
I, can fly

Your words cut like a knife in butter
I was fighting for my art
Fighting with my lover, you had me so tied up
Thinking there's no other
Yeah, right
Yeah, right

I, can fly,
You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
I, can fly

I Can Fly Song Chart

Lana Del Rey co-wrote and performs this song, which plays over the end credits of the Tim Burton movie Big Eyes. The film tells the story of Margaret Keane, the American artist whose iconic 1950s and '60s paintings of big-eyeballed children were falsely credited to her then-husband.

This triumphant ode is one of two songs that Lana Del Rey sings for Big Eyes. The other cut, the title track, was originally intended for the closing credits, but it was felt the tune was too downbeat to send audiences out. Del Rey came up with this more uplifting number to replace it, which finds her singing about flying like a once-caged bird.

Del Rey recalled to Billboard magazine: "I think they felt 'Big Eyes' was a little bit somber and they were excited about wanting [a song] to share this story about how Margaret [Keane] comes out of this darkness, a redemption theme. I said, 'I have a song called "I Can Fly," but I'd like to rework the lyrics and talk more about what she was doing [in the film].'"

Del Rey co-wrote this with one of her frequent collaborators, Rick Nowels. Other Del Rey cuts the San Francisco songwriter has contributed towards include her hit songs "Summertime Sadness" and "Young And Beautiful." (The latter was also penned for a movie – The Great Gatsby).
