Revival Lyrics

People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you hear it? Love is in the air.
We're in a revolution. Don't you know we're right.
Everyone is singing. Yeah! There'll be no one to fight.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
Love is everywhere.
Love is everywhere.
Love is everywhere.
Love is everywhere.
Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.

Monuments Lyrics

I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go I shine bright
Alright, alright alright

Love can dust ya easy, as you know
And doubts make you feel slow
When shades of reason in you gone
I know, I know you'll go

Luva, you're strange
Luva, you're strange to me

I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go I shine bright
Alright, alright alright

Vest was in the eagle of your soul
Where's Kelly as you sung
Don't ever feel that unknown
Behold, it take home

Luva, you're strange
Luva, you're strange to me

And what do ya want me to do?
It's all gone bad
What do ya want me to say?
I'm lost like you

I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go I shine bright
Alright, alright alright

I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go I shine bright
Alright, alright alright

Monuments Song Chart

The title track of Monuments To An Elegy finds Billy Corgan yelling, "I feel alright tonight and everywhere I go it's shining bright." He chuckled to NME: "It's how you feel when you've had a bit of drink or drugs."

Tommy Lee plays drums on all nine of Monuments To An Elegy's tracks. Corgan told Blabbermouth.net why the band recruited the Mötley Crüe founder member for the album. "The songs, in demo form, had a strut, and so the suggestion was made that we ought to get someone who 'plays like' Tommy," he explained. "Jeff Schroeder, Punpkins' guitarist said, 'Why not get the real deal?'"

Whipping Post Lyrics

I've been run down and I've been lied to.
And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money, wrecks my new car.
Now she's with one of my good time buddies,
They're drinkin' in some cross-town bar.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool.
But I had to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you.
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done.
But nothing seemed to change, the bad times stayed the same,
And I can't run.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

Whipping Post Song Chart

Gregg Allman wrote this in Jacksonville in 1968, just after he returned from Los Angeles.

Gregg wrote this on an ironing board using burnt matches. He got the idea in the middle of the night and couldn't find a pen.

This became a staple of their live shows. They usually played it as an extended jam, often improvising so it did not sound the same twice.

This was the last song on the first Allman Brothers album.

Berry Oakley came up with the bass line, which the band worked around. Oakley died in a motorcycle accident in 1972.

A 22-minute live version appears on At Fillmore East. Since this took up almost an entire side, it became a double album. The band insisted on keeping the price close to that of a single album.

Fans would scream out for this even at concerts for other bands.

The chorus is written in 11/8 time, but the verses are written in 12/8. When asked by American Songwriter magazine how he came to compose such songs with progressions that are definitely nothing resembling blues or typical rock and roll, Allman replied that he's not entirely sure. "Man, I just stumbled onto 'em," he said. "I really didn't know exactly what I was doing, I just did it. My brother had to tell me that 'Whipping Post' was in 11/4 time; I had no idea." (thanks, Dustin - Baltimore, MD)

Keep in the Dark Lyrics

Keep in the Dark to stay out of the light
Keep in the dark to stay out of the light
Just hang the sunshine

Turn off your light, let's step into the dark
Slip away like 'into her
Save your face and get behind, it's firmly pressed into earth
I feel relief when I talk, eventually comes
Talk of our dreams, you surely have one
Mind your head and keep your hands firmly pressed into earth

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
A shameful display, sung in some other place
To keep in the dark

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
I come with a string to recover the world
She sings in the night and never grows on

Night falling, save the grace with wondering eyes
Drawn to a beauty left to lay in the light
'only precious white wine full of worth

Dressed in all, safe from the dark
But dressed in a body let stranger to pass
Flashing my attempt to calling an all showing girl
Your true words

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
A shameful display, sung in some other place
To keep in the dark

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
I come with a string to recover the world
She sings in the night and never grows on

Keep in the Dark Song Chart

This is a track from Sun Structures, the debut studio album by the English psychedelic rock band Temples. The group adopted a DIY approach to language in order to concoct their own, mystical vernacular for the album. "We use words as sounds in a way which almost creates your own language," vocalist James Bagshaw explained to NME. "If an English teacher read the lyrics, there will be mistakes everywhere and probably some words that might not even be words. But it's more important that the word sounds right in order to serve the melody, which I guess is quite similar to what Tyrannosaurus Rex used to do. The meaning might be a bit little skewed, but it's music – it's not a book of poems."

Bassist Tom Warmsley explained the use of autoharp on this song to NME: "It has a very percussive, bright, glissando quality to it and you almost use it like a rhythm guitar," he said. "It has this really unique, bright tone that adds another layer to the track."

Don't be fooled by the name - an autoharp is not a harp at all, but is basically a chorded zither.

Trouble No More Lyrics

Don't care how long you gone
I don't care how long you staying
But, good kind treatment
Gonna bring you home some day
But, someday baby
You ain't gonna trouble
Poor me, anymore

You just keep on betting
That the dice won't pass
Well you know, darling
You are living too fast
But, someday baby
You ain't gonna trouble
Poor me, anymore

I'm gonna tell everybody
In your neighborhood
That you the sweet little girl
But, you don't mean me no good
But, someday baby
You ain't gonna trouble
Poor me, anymore

Well, I know you're leavin
Well, you call that gone
Well, without love
You can't stay long
But, someday baby
You ain't gonna trouble
Poor me, anymore

Well, goodbye baby
Come on and shake my hand
I don't want no woman
You can't have a man
But, someday baby
You ain't gonna trouble

Trouble No More Song Chart

One of Muddy Waters more popular songs, in this one he sings about looking forward to the day his woman leaves him, which he can see coming. It's bases on a 1935 song called "Someday Baby Blues" by a country-blues singer named Sleepy John Estes. Waters transformed the song with his Chicago blues style, adding a much more prominent guitar.

Little Walter played the harmonica on this song, and Jimmy Rogers played the guitar.

The Allman Brothers, who often did their own interpretation of blues songs, recorded a popular version of this song for their 1969 debut album. It was one of 22 songs Gregg Allman brought to the band when he joined, and it was the first song they played together for an audience. That performance was on song was on May 11, 1969 when they played at Piedmont Park in Atlanta at a free festival sponsored by an underground newspaper; the paper gave them a glowing review and put them on the map outside of Macon.

The song became a live favorite for the band; a version from a show at The Fillmore East appears on the Allman Brothers album Eat A Peach, which was released after Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident.

On October 28, 2014, the band played their final show, a farewell concert at the Beacon Theater in New York City. Their final song was "Trouble No More."

The second single and title track from Union J's You Got It All album, this was released on November 30, 2014, the day after the guys performed it live for the first time on The X Factor. A version featuring The Vamps was released the following day.

The song was written by Magic! vocalist Nasri. The Canadian singer is also one half of the songwriting and production duo The Messengers alongside Adam Messinger. The pair have crafted hits for the likes of Justin Bieber ("Never Say Never"), Chris Brown ("Next 2 You") and Pitbull ("Feel This Moment").

Union J's George Shelley told Capital FM: "We've helped a lot with this song and it does mean a lot to us, especially to me since I have a deep connection with the lyrics within it. I thought of this one girl while helping writing it."

Asked by HMV.com why they named the album after this song, Union J's Josh Cuthbert replied: "We had a feeling that it would be our biggest hit and we thought it would be nice to name the album after it."

Seconds Lyrics

She / she used to live with his brother
Now she's an unmarried mother / with another / on the way
He's seond rate / twisted out of shape
and he looks a state, it costs so much to look this rough
They go to town / they like to shop around / and look at all those things
All those things they never wnated anyway / She hates his hair
that stupid coat he wears / but sometimes second best
is the best that you can get
Oh yes / oh somebody told me / 'cos Seconds turn to hours
and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning
The first time leaves its trace / and then slides into second place
and still it feels like morning / At night they try to fly
hold on tight and close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning
But in the morning it's raining / Oh Christ you're always complaining
can't you think of something else / It's nearly-nu
a bargain basement made for two / and if you blur your eyes
you could be anywhere / you want yourself to be
Oh yeah, it's bad / I know you want to laugh, so laugh
But sometimes second best / Is all that you can get
Oh yeah / oh somebody told me / the seconds turn to hours
and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning
The first time leaves its trace / and then slides into second place
and still it feels like morning / At night they try to fly
hold on tight and close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning
But you're so perfect you don't interest me at all
You're golden boy fell down / Don't you know / he hasn't got a personality?
And I know / he said he'd last all night then gave you seconds / yeah
The seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days
but still it feels like morning / The first time leaves its trace
and then slides into second place / and still it feels like morning
At night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes
and they hit the ground in the morning / My God they're still alive
they got it wrong but they still tried / and they made it through to the
morning.

Seconds Song Chart

"Seconds" is one of four songs included on The Sisters EP, and one of three songs on the EP which were originally recorded for His 'n' Hers but weren't included.

"Seconds" follows similar themes to another track on the EP, "His 'n' Hers," and indeed a lot of themes from the His 'n' Hers album as a whole: rejection of conformity and domesticated bliss in life, stemming seemingly from Jarvis Cocker's personal dislike of marriage and convention. The sleeve notes state that '"Seconds" explores the idea that perfect people are... well, "perfectly boring to be honest."

Just The Way You Are Lyrics

Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times; I'll take the bad times
I'll take you Just The Way You Are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

Just The Way You Are Song Chart

Joel wrote this song about his first wife, Elizabeth. A pure expression of unconditional love, he gave it to her as a birthday present.

Sadly, after nine years of marriage, Joel and Elizabeth divorced in 1982. Joel's next two marriages didn't work out either: he was married to Christie Brinkley from 1985-1994, and to Katie Lee from 2004-2010.

"Every time I wrote a song for a person I was in a relationship with, it didn't last," Joel said. "It was kind of like the curse. Here's your song - we might as well say goodbye now."

This won Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 1979 ceremony. It was a breakthrough for Joel, whose biggest hit to this point was "Piano Man," which reached #25 in the US.

Joel told USA Today July 9, 2008: "I was absolutely surprised it won a Grammy. It wasn't even rock 'n' roll, it was like a standard with a little bit of R&B in it. It reminded me of an old Stevie Wonder recording." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

After Joel recorded this, he didn't think much of it, considering it a "gloppy ballad" that would only get played at weddings. He credits his producer, Phil Ramone, with convincing him that it was a great song. Ramone brought Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow into the recording studio to hear the song, and of course they loved it, which was good enough for Billy. On Australian TV in 2006, Joel confirmed: "We almost didn't put it on an album. We were sitting around listening to it going naaah, that's a chick song."

Phil Woods, who is a prominent jazz player, played the alto saxophone for this song. (thanks, Alex - Grand Blanc, MI)

Barry White's cover version hit #12 in the UK in 1978. The song was also covered by Frank Sinatra and Isaac Hayes, whose version is in 6/8 time with a long introductory rap.

Joel played a Fender Rhodes electric piano on this track, using the instrument's phase shifter effect. This same setup can be heard on the Paul Simon song "Still Crazy After All These Years."

This was the first single off The Stranger, which was Billy Joel's sixth album.

On a July 16, 2006 blog for the Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, Joel said that he dreamt the melody and chord progression and wrote the lyrics over a few days after the dream recurred. He added that the drum pattern was suggested by his producer at the time, Phil Ramone.

Joel expanded to USA Today: "I dreamt the melody, not the words. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and going, 'This is a great idea for a song.' A couple of weeks later, I'm in a business meeting, and the dream reoccurs to me right at that moment because my mind had drifted off from hearing numbers and legal jargon. And I said, 'I have to go!' I got home and I ended up writing it all in one sitting, pretty much. It took me maybe two or three hours to write the lyrics."

This was Joel's first chart entry in the UK.

In his 2014 appearance on a Howard Stern town hall special, Joel explained that the original sheet music printed for this song was wrong, with an extra chord in the intro. He says that he often hears people playing it the wrong way, and has even corrected some of them when he hears it.

Paul McCartney has delivered high praise for this song, stating in his Club Sandwich newsletter that it's one of the few songs he wished he had written ("Stardust" is his first selection).

Joel performed this on Saturday Night Live in 1977, three months before it was released.

Razzmatazz Lyrics

The trouble with your brother, he's always sleeping with your mother
And I know that your sister missed her time again this month
Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?
If you want I can write it down

It should matter to you but aren't you the one with your Razzmatazz
and the nights on the town?
Oh-oh-oh Oh you knew it and you blew it didn't you babe?
I was lying when I asked you to stay now no-one's gonna care

If you don't call them when you said
And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed
And all those stupid little things they ain't working
No they aren't working at all oh

You started getting fatter three weeks after I left you
Now you're going with some kid looks like some bad comedian
Are you gonna go out, are you sitting at home eating boxes of Milk Tray?
Watch TV on your own, aren't you the one with your razzmatazz

And your nights on the town?
Oh-oh-oh And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe?
But your mother wants to put you away
Now no-one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said

And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed
And all those stupid little things they ain't working
Oh they aren't working at all
Oh well I saw you at the doctor's waiting for a test

You tried to look like some kind of heiress but your face is such a mess
And now you're going to a party and you're leaving on your own
Oh I'm sorry but didn't you say that things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz?
Na na nana na na na... and now no-one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said

And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed
Now it's half past ten in the evening and you wish that you were dead
'Cause all those stupid little things
No they ain't working, oh they aren't working at all.

Razzmatazz Song Chart

Just around the start of the 1990s (after over a decade in the game), Pulp finally began to garner commercial and critical attention. In this time, they endured multiple lineup changes - with Jarvis Cocker being the one constant. "Razzmatazz" was the band's final single on Gift Records before making the major-label move to Island for their next album His 'n' Hers. Whilst it failed to chart, it gained much critical acclaim - a further sign of the mounting momentum behind the band.

"Razzmatazz" details the months after a breakup, with the narrator being ditched by his supposedly far more cocksure girlfriend. The title relates to what the girl thinks is needed after the breakup: some fun, frolics, and 'razzmatazz.' However, as the singer keeps meeting her in the months after, that turns out not to be the case - she winds up putting on weight, going out with a new guy who resembles "a bad comedian," and sitting around in her house all day eating chocolate and watching TV. Eventually he bumps into her at the doctor's whilst he is "waiting for some tests to be done," and he realizes how downhill she has gone since their breakup.

"Razzmatazz" was never released officially on an album, although it was included on the US release of His 'n' Hers as a bonus track, and on the 1995 compilation Intro - The Gift Recordings.

The single contains a trilogy of songs on the B-side which form together to make "Inside Susan - A Story In Three Songs."

"Stacks" details Susan's early adolescent life in Rotherham, UK; "Inside Susan" looks at recounting her thoughts of her late teens as she rides the bus. The final part, "59 Lyndhurst Grove," jumps forward to later in her life where she is the second wife of an architect, living "somewhere in South London," and cheating on her husband to try and alleviate the tedium of everyday life.

You're In My Heart (The Final Acclaim) Lyrics

I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsley prints
I put down to experience

The big bossed lady with the Dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance

You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're an essay in glamor
Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen

And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're In My Heart (The Final Acclaim) Song Chart

Stewart wrote this love song when he was dating the Swedish actress Britt Ekland; they were together from 1975-1977. Stewart said, "It wasn't totally about Britt... it could of been anybody I met in that period - and there were a lot of them."

This statement may have been influenced by the $12.5 million lawsuit Ekland filed against Stewart, in which her lawyers pointed out how she inspired some of Stewart's most successful music.

Stewart and Ekland split up very publicly after he was photographed leaving a nightclub with another actress, Liz Treadwell. In his autobiography, Stewart said that Ekland thought they were going to get married, but he had no intention of settling down and in turn, was unfaithful.

The songs Stewart wrote for the Foot Loose And Fancy Free album deal with this relationship, and are rather conflicted. On "You Got A Nerve" he is quite hostile; "I Was Only Joking" finds him dismissing his lover. "You're In My Heart," however, is the kind of song that would make a woman believe that Stewart is smitten and in it for the long haul.

Soon after the album came out, Stewart explained to NME that in writing the songs, he was expressing his true feelings, and that it made him realize that he wanted to be free, as suggested in the album title. "The songs came first," he said. "I didn't actually think, 'Well, I'll put it in the songs and hope she hears them and knows what I mean.' But it's ironic that the album title and the songs came out as they did."

The "Beardsley prints" is a reference to Aubrey Beardsley, a Victorian artist. It shows that the lady Stewart is singing about has very refined taste, which points to Ekland. Stewart later admitted that she taught him a great deal about art and visual presentation. She even got him to start wearing make-up.

The lines, "You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided, you're the best team I've ever seen" are a reference to two Scottish soccer teams, Dundee United and Celtic F.C. Stewart is an avid supporter of Celtic.

Silence Lyrics

Silence Song Chart

"Silence" was the main B-side to Pulp's 1987 single "Master of the Universe." It deserves special mention as it was the only song recorded during their ill-feted time on Fire Records that didn't go on to feature on the Masters of the Universe compilation - with good reason, according to Jarvis Cocker.

Talking about the single to Record Collector in 1994, Cocker noted: "That features the only Fire track which hasn't been reissued: 'Silence,' from demos recorded in an old karate studio, written at that first rehearsal with Russell. Oh, it's so depressing, a two-note keyboard drone, someone playing one of those hunting horns you have on the living room wall and me alternately talking and screaming this story about a love affair that doesn't work out. I banned it from going on the Fire compilation, because it's terrible - I couldn't live with it being out.'

Due to Cocker specifically demanding it not be included on any future compilations, "Silence" has earned the title of "Worst Pulp Song Ever" amongst fans - something the band themselves seem keen to agree with!
