Climbing Up The Walls Lyrics


I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection

It's always best when the light is off
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die

And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind

So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling

That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

Climbing Up The Walls Song Chart
  • This is the first track in the band's repertoire to be described as "scary." It relies heavily on strings, but not in the conventional way. The string section features 16 different violins playing quarter tones apart from each other.
  • Lead singer Thom Yorke: "This is about the unspeakable. Literally skull-crushing. I used to work in a mental hospital around the time that Care In The Community started, and we all just knew what was going to happen. And it's one of the scariest things to happen in this country, because a lot of them weren't just harmless... It was hailing violently when we recorded this. It seemed to add to the mood."
  • More from Yorke: "Some people can't sleep with the curtains open in case they see the eyes they imagine in their heads every night burning through the glass. Lots of people have panic buttons fitted in their bedrooms so they can reach over and set the alarm off without disturbing the intruder. This song is about the cupboard monster." (thanks, michelle - shingle springs, CA, for all above)
  • Radiohead recorded the album in the mansion of actress Jane Seymour, who was busy filming her show Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Ed O'Brien felt that the gothical mood of this track was the result of recording in its library. The Cure also recorded their 1996 Wild Mood Swings album in Seymour's mansion.
  • The phrase "Climbing up the walls" means being in a state of agitation through stress or worry.
  • Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood sometimes uses a radio when they perform this, tuning it to different stations during the song. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)
  • The string coda at the end was largely inspired by an interest the band had in modern Polish composer Krzystof Penderecki, whose works also feature on the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.

    Trouble Lyrics


    Oh, here comes trouble
    Put your helmet on, we'll be heading for a fall
    Yeah, the whole thing's gonna blow
    And the devil's got my number
    It's long overdue, he'll come looking soon
    Yeah, the whole thing's gonna blow

    Oh, here comes trouble
    These people talk too much, need to shut 'em up
    Yeah, I'd rather be alone
    Can you, can you feel that rumble?
    All this borrowed time, it's been running out
    It's the ending of the show

    But I know now, yeah, yeah, I know now, yeah

    Everything's gonna be okay
    Oh, I keep telling myself, "Don't worry, be happy"
    Oh, you keep telling yourself, "Everything's gonna be okay"
    Oh, I keep telling myself, "Don't worry, be happy"
    Oh, you keep telling yourself, "Everything's gonna be okay"

    Oh, I've changed my number
    Wore disguises and went undercover just to
    Just to hide away from you
    Oh, my ghost came a-calling
    Making noises 'bout a promise I had broken
    Oh, I'm gonna be lonely soon

    Oh, here comes trouble
    Put your helmet on, we'll be heading for a fall
    Yeah, the whole thing's gonna blow
    And the devil's got my number
    It's long overdue, he'll come looking soon
    Yeah, the whole thing's gonna blow

    Everything's gonna be okay
    Oh, I keep telling myself, "Don't worry, be happy"
    Oh, you keep telling yourself, "Everything's gonna be okay"

  • The song's refrain of "Everything's gonna be OK," is about the self-delusion that is sometimes necessary for surviving modern life. The band's Dave Sitek told NME: "The 'I keep telling myself...' line means that it might not be true. Everyone goes through that, on multiple levels. There's a lot of doubt floating around. What has modern living and its aspirations led to? ''Trouble' at least for me, is about putting your helmet on."

  • This was written by Billy Joe Shaver , a friend of Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts. Besides old blues songs, it's the only song the band recorded they did not write themselves.
  • This was a difficult time for the Allman Brothers. After the deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, it was tough to keep the band together, especially after Gregg Allman married Cher. They put this album together when they were doing a series of fundraiser concerts for Jimmy Carter, who went on to win the election and become president of the United States. Like the band, Carter is from Georgia.

    A Better Tomorrow Lyrics


    Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down
    For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it

    Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
    Victims of worldly ways, memories stays engraved
    All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
    The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
    In this New World the Order slaughter men, women, and children
    Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
    The projects, lifeless like a Vietnam vet
    Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
    Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble
    Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cipher crumble
    Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge
    They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars
    I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing
    Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting
    It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll
    Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
    Not a role model, I walk a hard role to follow
    I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
    The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
    Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
    Their life and times, deadly like the virus design
    But too, minute to dilute, the science is mine

    You can't party your life away
    Drink your life away
    Smoke your life away
    Fuck your life away
    Dream your life away
    Scheme your life away
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way

    A voice cries from the wilderness of the North
    A representation of the families that lost one
    All victims of incarceration
    Or other divisions of the family structure
    Youths are injected with serums that leads
    To skin irritations, babies being born with
    Disfigurations, experimentations
    On their faces there bear world relations
    Of mothers that carry the pain
    Of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail
    Big brothers been slain from hails of gun fire
    It lightly begins to rain screams of terror
    Are hidden by the passing trains
    This can't be little Shane, his uncle cried
    As he drops to his nephew's side, holding his cane
    Just give me a name, of who has inflicted this
    Bitter sickness, and left us to witness

    Yeah, yo
    Curses from war, innocent blood spills for days
    Soothe in godly ways, hands, solemn in praise
    Tree of life, more precious than Wu is golden game
    The wise self flourish inherit, Halls of Fame
    Crime visions in my blood got me, locked in prison
    While we die hard living people whine about religion, vision
    Blow, spin, and sin and killing what's revealing
    It's a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen
    Zero process, progress, become the hunted
    America's most wanted, good life flaunted, want it
    Some love the speed, some satisfy a need
    Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle breed
    The stronger speed, someone die, someone bleed
    One flew astray, and then caught my little seed
    Can it be, the ice have us trifle life, made me grab the knife
    The righteous man would be within these stripes pipes
    Take in my energy, breath and know the rest
    Cause the good die young and the hard die best

    You can't party your life away
    Drink your life away
    Smoke your life away
    Fuck your life away
    Dream your life away
    Scheme your life away
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way

    Y'all bitches love dances, and pulling down your pants
    While your man's on tour, your spending up his advances
    Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink, smoke, and suck dick
    The whole projects is trapped in stench
    You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop-outs
    Fifteen years old, shorty ass and top out
    Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking
    Fucking so much your ass and titties start shrinking
    New World Order slave trade, minimum wage, better cage
    Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays
    Inside my lab, I'm going mad
    Took two drags off the blunts, and started breaking down the flag
    The blue is for the Crips, the red is for the Bloods
    The whites for the cops, and the stars come from the clubs
    Or the slugs that ignites, through the night, by the dawn
    Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe

    As we dwell through this concrete hell, calling it home
    Mama say, take your time young man and build your own
    Don't wind up like your old dad
    Still searching for them glory days he never had
    So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings
    The cash rule everything now, we going down
    These babies looking up to us, it's up to us
    The Million Man March MC's, get on the bus
    But envy, greed, lust, and hate, separate
    Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot relate
    No longer, brothers, we unstable
    Like Kane when he slew Abel, killing each other

    You can't party your life away
    Drink your life away
    Smoke your life away
    Fuck your life away
    Dream your life away
    Scheme your life away
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way
    Cause your seeds grow up the same way

    A Better Tomorrow Song Chart
  • The title track of Wu-Tang Clan's sixth album shares its name with a song they featured on their 1997 sophomore LP, Wu-Tang Forever. The reference in both instances is to John Woo's 1986 crime film, A Better Tomorrow.
  • RZA explained the album title to Billboard magazine : "John Woo has always been an inspiration to me," he said. "But it wasn't just in reference to that film, because that film is actually a very violent film, very specific about the police corruption and things of that nature. My concept of a better tomorrow, moreso, is what the sentence says itself. We need a better tomorrow."

    "I'm a vegetarian. Why? Because no animal needs to die for me to live," RZA added. "I'm into renewable energy, I'm into getting rid of the plastic bottles and coming with another form of drinking our water. I'm into the people respecting each other. We don't got to like each other but respect each other for everything you are, whether you're black, brown, white or red, homosexual, woman, whatever it is. We gotta have respect for each other first."
  • This samples Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' 1975 single, "Wake Up Everybody."
  • The song's music video compiles protest footage from Ferguson, Missouri and New York City as well as soundbites from President Obama speaking on race relations in America. "This visual was created by Wu-Tang Clan in the hopes of inspiring change and promoting unity throughout the world, The Wu-Tang Clan said in a press release. They added a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
  • Asked by NME what his biggest regret about the A Better Tomorrow album was, RZA replied: "I tried to get James Blake to do a hook on 'A Better Tomorrow' but we couldn't make it happen in time."

    The pair did previously work together on Blake's Overgrown track "Take A Fall For Me."

    Win, Lose Or Draw Lyrics


    Endlessly facing the cold concrete floor
    Four cold grey walls, and no doors
    I barely remember the last forty days
    Or just what they're holdin' me for
    So far away, they tell me:
    "boy, you're here to stay; win, lose or draw"
    Letters unanswered and visits so few
    Cold desperation I know
    I guess I'd give most anything
    Oh lord, if they'd just let me go
    I'm so far away
    Day after lonely, lonely day
    Win, lose or draw

    Ma, she's dead and gone
    Pa just don't seem to find the time
    It makes me so sad that he's forsaken me
    When he's all I had left I call mine
    I'm so far away
    Day after lonely, lonely day
    Win, lose or draw.

    There's two men in one room for ten long years
    Still strangers that talk away the time
    'cause each time I think of your soft hand in mine
    I lay here and die one more time
    And I'm so far away
    Day after lonely, lonely day
    Win, lose or draw

  • Title track to the album that was very difficult to record due to the band's drug problems and Gregg Allman's marriage to Cher. The entire band was rarely together during recordings.
  • Gregg Allman wrote this, but recorded his vocals in California, away from the rest of the band. He was married to Cher at the time and spent a lot of time there to accommodate her schedule.

    It's The Hard Knock Life Lyrics


    It's The Hard Knock Life Song Chart
  • With music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin, this song debuted in the 1977 Broadway musical Annie as the cast of orphans lament their struggles laboring for the unscrupulous Miss Hannigan. The play follows Annie's adventure as she meets the wealthy Daddy Warbucks, who tries to help her find her real parents.
  • In a Blender interview, Strouse notes how this song stands out from the rest of the Annie repertoire: "Most of the songs in Annie are very 1920s, more upbeat, but 'Hard Knock Life' had to reflect the fact that the kids in the story were underprivileged and exploited. So I wrote a very angry, angular melody, quite unlike the other songs."
  • Jay-Z spun this into the innovative rap song, "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)," in 2002, where he likened the hardships of the orphans to the struggles of kids growing up in the ghetto.
  • Playing the youngest orphan, Molly, Danielle Brisebois leads the chorus on this track, which was sampled for Jay-Z's version. While the song became a gold-certified single, all Brisebois was left with was sour grapes. Because she was paid a flat fee when she performed the song for the musical, she doesn't earn any royalties from it. "As a result, I’m singing the lead vocal on a #1 song but not making a penny out of it," she said.
  • Annie was adapted into a feature film in 1982 with Aileen Quinn in the lead role, while Toni Ann Gisondi played Molly. Albert Finney and Carol Burnett starred as Daddy Warbucks and Miss Hannigan, respectively.
  • Produced by Jay-Z and Will Smith, this hit the big screen again in 2014 with Quvenzhane Wallis as Annie, Jamie Foxx as Will Stacks (Daddy Warbucks), and Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan. Nicolette Pierini filled the role of Molly, updated as Mia.
  • For the 2014 film, the lyrics to this song were altered to reflect the children being foster kids instead of orphans. Jay-Z's version is prominently featured in the movie's trailer.

    Aside from four new songs ("The City's Yours," "Opportunity", "Who Am I", and "Moonquake Lake"), the soundtrack borrows the original Broadway tunes, with an arrangement by Australian pop singer Sia and Greg Kurstin.
  • The lyrics reference New York City's Chrysler Building: "You'll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building." Designed by William Van Alen, the Art Deco-style skyscraper was briefly the tallest building in the world (1,046 ft) until it was surpassed by the Empire State Building (1,454 ft). Completed in 1930, it would have been three years old during Annie's 1933 setting.
  • The orphans also suggest making Miss Hannigan drink a Mickey Finn, which is slang for a drug-laced beverage. The name was allegedly taken from Chicago bar owner Michael "Mickey" Finn, who was prosecuted for slipping mickies to his patrons so he could rob them.

    Wash Lyrics


    Never meant to waste your time
    Never meant to fall out of line
    Always tried to get closer to you
    Now it seems with every step
    Feels like I'm losing my breath
    I don't know what else I can do

    But you Wash over me
    You wash over me like rain
    And you fall over me
    You crawl over me like sunshine

    I never had to choose
    Living a life with you
    Or choosing lies only half true
    And now I'd rather be
    Alone with you and me
    Than hiding behind these walls

    But you wash over me
    You wash over me like rain
    And you fall over me
    You crawl over me like sunshine

    You wash over me
    You wash over me like rain
    You fall over me
    You crawl over me like sunshine
    Like sunshine

    Everything in the world was falling through
    All I knew was to look to you
    My sunshine
    All my life never found my place
    Until I felt the sunlight on my face
    My sunshine

    Never meant to waste your time
    Never meant to fall out of line
    Always tried to get closer to you
    Now it seems with every step
    Feels like I'm losing my breath
    I don't know what else I can do

    But you wash over me
    You wash over me like rain
    You crawl over me
    You fall over me like sunshine

    Like sunshine
    Like sunshine

  • Lead singer Jason Wade:
    "'You was over me like the rain/ You wash over me like the sunshine' the truth is, you can't have one without the other. You can't truly know happiness without having experienced sadness. A lot of the guitar sounds I got on this record came about by experimentation, which was very cool. I turned all these frequency distortion pedals up at the same time and started playing these harmonics and weird wah-wah things, and some crazy stuff just came out of it. I went back into the studio later and tried to duplicate it, but I couldn't." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

    Hot sun beating down
    Burning my feet just walking around.

    Hot sun making me sweat
    'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet

    I can't dance, I can't talk.
    The only thing about me is the way I walk.
    I can't dance, I can't sing
    I'm just standing here selling everything.

    Blue jeans sitting on the beach,
    Her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.

    She's got a body under that shirt,
    But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.

    Cause, I can't dance, I can't talk.
    The only thing about me is the way I walk.
    No, I can't dance, I can't sing
    I'm just standing here selling.

    And checking everything is in place,
    You never know who's looking on.

    Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
    Fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.

    Thick smoke, see her smiling through.
    I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.

    But I can't dance, I can't talk.
    The only thing about me is the way I walk.
    I can't dance, I can't sing
    I'm just standing here selling

    And checking everything is in place
    You never know who's looking on

  • Genesis wrote this song in the studio in one session. "Once we started we kept going 'til we finished it," Phil Collins said in the documentary Genesis: Sum of the Parts. "It didn't take a ridiculous time to write."
  • The lyrics are made up of bits that Phil Collins improvised in the studio. When they started working on it, they decided to just write spontaneously to keep from over-thinking it. This explains the rather disjointed story about a guy who can't dance and is "just standing here selling."
  • Helmed by their go-to director Jim Yukich, the video created a lasting image thanks to the "silly walk" the three band members did. This walk was something Phil Collins did from time to time - he got the idea for it when he attended drama school and noticed that the worst dancers would always lead with the hand and foot on the same side. There is a twist ending in the video when at the end, Phil Collins does some Michael Jackson dance moves and an impressive little tap routine.
  • In our interview with Tony Banks , he explained that having a lead singer who was comfortable in front of the camera made the music videos much easier to create. "It gave us a chance to explore some quite fun ideas," he said. "When the lyric had an obvious way to go - with something like "I Can't Dance" or "No Son of Mine" - you could do it and express it quite well."

    I think to myself I might not take it any more
    Take a woman like your kind
    To find the man in me

    But, oh, what a wonderful feeling
    Just to know that you are near
    Sets my a heart a-reeling
    From my toes up to my ears

    The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen
    But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine
    Took a woman like you
    To get through to the man in me

  • Dylan recorded this in New York City with a talented group of studio musicians including Al Kooper and Charlie Daniels. Ron Cornelius, who played guitar on these sessions, told us that Dylan would play down the song, but as soon as they started recording he would play it in a completely different tempo, which threw off the musicians but forced them to play to their strengths. These sessions lasted about 3 weeks, with the best songs going on this album and many of the others ending up on his 1973 self-titled album Dylan.
  • This played a major role in the Coen Brothers' 1998 movie The Big Lebowski. The song has since been performed live by the film's main star, Jeff Bridges.
  • Artists to have covered this song include The Clash, Joe Cocker and Matumbi.

    Ramblin' Man Lyrics


    [Chorus]
    Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
    Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
    And when it's time for leavin',
    I hope you'll understand,
    That I was born a ramblin' man.

    Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,
    He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
    And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
    Rollin' down highway 41.

    [Chorus]

    I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
    Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
    They're always having a good time down on the bayou,
    Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

    [Chorus]

    Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
