Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree Lyrics

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree Song Chart

This was written by Irwin Levine and Larry Brown. It is based on the true story of a convict returning from jail.

Levine and Brown got the story from a 1971 article in The New York Post, and changed some of the details. It was really a white handkerchief around the tree, but they made it a yellow ribbon because it made for a better song.

A song of the same name was used in the 1949 John Wayne movie She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. This is probably where Levine and Brown got the idea for the yellow ribbon.

The yellow ribbon became a National symbol in 1980 when Americans put them on trees to remember the hostages being held in Iran. Ten years later, a group called Visual AIDS convinced people attending the Tony Awards to wear small red ribbons as a symbol of AIDS awareness. Soon, many causes produced ribbons with different colors to raise money and awareness. In 2004, the trend extended to rubber bracelets when cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong worked with Nike to promote yellow bracelets labeled "Livestrong" that raised money for cancer research.

Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson took the name "Dawn" from the daughter of their record company promotions man, Steve Wax. The song was a #1 hit in Australia in mid 1973, spending 26 weeks on the charts. (thanks, Graham - Windsor, Australia)

Tumble and Fall Lyrics

It's a want you, it's a need you, it's a hold on through the pain
It's a get through what you got to, 'cause it can't stay the same
It's a long talk with the lights off, it's the last breath in your lungs
It's the deep end that we jump in, it's the love that we become

We're gonna ride the storm out on a lifeboat
Baby this kind of love is all that we know
We're gonna take a walk out on the trapeze
Even in a wild breeze, we could be the best of them all
Even if we Tumble and Fall

It's a reach out, it's a white flag, it's a forfeit of the game
It's a let go of the ego, and the whisper of your name
It's a fight for, not a defend, it's a stay out in the rain
It's the knowin' that you love me more than anything

We're gonna ride the storm out on a lifeboat
Baby this kind of love is all that we know
We're gonna take a walk out on the trapeze
Even in a wild breeze, we could be the best of them all
Even if we tumble and fall

It's a want you, it's a need you, it's a hold on through the pain
It's a get through what you got to, yeah you got to, yeah we got to

We're gonna ride the storm out on a lifeboat
Baby this kind of love is all that we know
We're gonna take a walk out on the trapeze
Even in a wild breeze, we could be the best of them all
Even if we tumble and fall
Even if we tumble and fall

Nothing suffocates you more than
The passing of everyday human events
Isolation is the oxygen mask you make
Your children breath into survive

But I'm not a slave to god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to world
That doesn't give a shit

And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

You'll never grow up to be a big-rock-star-
Celebrated-victim-of-your-fame
They'll just cut our wrists like
Cheap coupons and say that death
Was on sale today

And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to world
That doesn't give a shit

The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of millions is just a statistic

But I'm not a slave to god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to world
That doesn't give a shit
But I'm not a slave to god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to world
That doesn't give a shit

Turn The Lights On Lyrics

Sucker punched, down for the count
They stole your thunder then your crown
Paralyzed, just hangin' around, you better get up
Or get down

Put your money where you're talkin'
Let your assets do the walkin'
So what, the sky is fallin' get up
Or get down
In the shadows, outta time
You ain't bound and you ain't blind

Turn The Lights On, turn the lights on, baby
Turn the lights on, lift your hands up
Turn the lights on, turn the lights on, baby
Turn the lights on, lift your hands up
Lift your hands up

Swingin' from a chandelier
Ain't no trouble way up here
Shootin' through the atmosphere
Get up or get down

Ain't no time to hit the brakes
Flip the switch and let it shake
Wind it up while you're awake
Get up or get down
Get down, get down

Turn the lights on, turn the lights on, baby
Turn the lights on, lift your hands up
Turn the lights on, turn the lights on, baby
Turn the lights on, lift your hands up
Lift your hands up
Lift your hands up

Lift up your hands, open your eyes
If we're going, we're goin' live

Turn the lights on, turn the lights on, baby
Turn the lights on, lift your hands up
Turn the lights on, turn the lights on, baby
Turn the lights on, lift your hands up
Lift your hands up

Little Big Town penned this life-affirming track with their producer Jay Joyce plus songwriters Natalie Hemby (LBT's "Pontoon") and Jeremy Spillman (Eric Church's "Hell on the Heart").

"We were talking about when you're chasing something that you want to do as an artist, and you get knocked down or you're gonna get rejected, you have to decide what you're gonna do at that moment," explained LBT's Karen Fairchild. "You're either gonna pick yourself up and be a better artist, better person, or you're just gonna lie down and take it and just go away. We see it happen all the time. So many talented people come to Nashville and some quit, and they might be the best singers and songwriters and they just give up, because they get knocked down a couple of times."

Mr. Crowley Lyrics

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent
I want to know what you meant
I want to know
I want to know what you meant

Mr. Crowley Song Chart

This song is about Aleister Crowley, a British practitioner of black magic in the early 1900s. Known as "The Wickedest Man Alive," Jimmy Page based some of the Led Zeppelin album covers on his work.

The song helped Ozzy play up his mock-Satanic image, which he often did for effect. This his something he did in his band Black Sabbath, who likened their music to horror movies.

Ozzy mispronounces Crowley's last name. It is in fact pronounced with the first syllable sounding like "crow" in English. (thanks, Daz - Lufkin, TX)

Bob Daisley, who was the bass player on the album, wrote some of the lyric for this song. In our interview with Daisley , he explained: "I wanted to look at the darkness and question Aleister Crowley. 'Aleister, what were you thinking?' You know. All this darkness and negativity. So that was a snag that I put on it."

When Crowley was born they scattered the afterbirth because he had a birthmark shaped like a swastika. Ozzy sings about it in the line "They scattered the afterbirth."

In the liner notes for The Ozzman Cometh, Ozzy wrote, "I'd read several books about Aleister Crowley. He was a very weird guy and I always wanted to write a song about him. While we were recording the Blizzard of Ozz album there was a pack of tarot cards he had designed lying around the studio. Well one thing lead to another and the song 'Mr. Crowley' was born." (thanks, Matthew Daubert - Mequon, WI)

A live version of this song was released as the second single from the album, following "Crazy Train." This version was taken from a performance on October 2, 1980 when Ozzy and his band played the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton on their first UK tour. In the UK, the single was backed with the song "You Said It All," (taken from the same performance) which was not available on the album. In America, the single was released as an EP which also included a performance of "Suicide Solution" from that show.

Randy Rhoads played guitar on this track and co-wrote it with Ozzy and Bob Daisley. "Mr. Crowley" is a great example of both his striking guitar technique and creative riff-making, skills that helped Ozzy escape the long shadow of Black Sabbath and establish a solo career. Rhoads worked on two albums with Ozzy before his untimely death in 1982 at age 25. Rhoads died during a tour stop when he went up in a small plane and the pilot started buzzing the tour bus, trying to get a rise out of Osbourne, who was in it. The plane lost control and crashed, killing Rhoads, the pilot, and the tour hairdresser.

The line, "Won't you ride my white horse" is a drug reference. Crowley was a known user of opium.

Aleister Crowley would sometimes sign books and autographs, "Polemically Yours, Aleister Crowley," which inspired Bob Daisley to wrote the line "was it polemically sent?," which appears near the end of the song. "Polemically" means generating controversy.

Like the "Crazy Train" single, this one was credited to "Ozzy Osbourne Blizzard of Ozz" on the cover. Blizzard of Ozz was supposed to be the name of the band, but Jet Records turned it into an Ozzy Osbourne solo album when they released the album, which featured just Ozzy on the cover and his name in big letters.

Ion Vein covered this for the 1999 compilation Land of the Wizard: A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.

At least two Ozzy Osbourne tribute bands (one German, one American) have used the name Mr. Crowley. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 3)

This was included on Ozzy's 1987 album Tribute, which contained live tracks featuring Randy Rhoads.

Aleister Crowley was also the topic of the Bruce Dickinson (formerly and presently of Iron Maiden) song "Man of Sorrows" on the album Accident of Birth. The title of the song was a quote of Isaiah 53, supposedly a description of Jesus, whom Crowley hated; Dickinson is somewhat anti-Christian, and was not above assigning a title of Christ to the self-appointed antichrist.

This was the first song Miller let a rap group sample. He let Run-D.M.C. use it in 2001 with Everlast also on vocals. Miller agreed only after hearing the song and liking what they did with it.

In 2006, the band released a 30th Anniversary Edition of the Fly Like An Eagle album. Included as a bonus track was "Take The Joker And Run," which is an acoustic version of "Take the Money and Run" sung over an early version of "The Joker." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Take The Money And Run is also the name of an unrelated 1969 Woody Allen film. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)

The song was done in a country style (with fiddles!) by the Canadian singer Julian Austin in 2000. It appears on his Back in Your Life album. Austin was born in St. John, New Brunswick. (thanks, Peter - Hamilton, Canada)

A soundalike version was used in a 2014 commercial for Taco Bell promoting their Crunchwrap Sliders.

Sunny Disposition Lyrics

She had a Sunny Disposition
He had a cloud that never went away
She woke up singing almost every day
It turned him all around
And brought him in from the pouring rain

She had a sunny way of talking
And when she finished she'd always smile
It wasn't flashy but she had style
She touched him so profound
That he was never to be the same

First she had him walking
Then he'd be talking
Walking and talking
And soon he'd be laughing out loud

Never would believe it
If you couldn't see it
She came to be someone that he could not be without

They made a sunny combination
You wouldn't think so but it was true
They heard a voice coming from the blue
True love was calling out
And it was calling them both by name

Started with a whisper
Pretty soon he kissed her
That's when that whisper
Turn into a mighty roar

More than just affection
Made a real connection
That's when he knew she was what he was missing before

She gave him plenty inspiration
And every song he wrote from then til now
Had something about it explaining how
She turned his life around

Before her sunny disposition
He didn't know where he was going
She had a funny way of knowing
And knowing felt so right
When she became his wife
She brought her disposition

"I was able to complete this album - start it, write it and complete it - under the spell of love, and I think it shows somehow."

The Jack Lyrics

She gave me the queen
She gave me the king
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her deuce was wild
But my ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a full house
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right

She's got The Jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack

Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was a game
If she knew she could get you
She played 'em fast
And she played 'em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card
But how was I to know
That she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a royal flush
But I should have known
That all the cards were comin'
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
I'd have dealt it back

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, and who knows what else?
She's got the jack, yeah, yeah
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack

She's got the jack, she's got the jack,
Oh, it was a bad deal, (jack)
She gave me the (jack), hey
She's got the (jack), she's got the (jack)
She's got the (jack), ooh can't you tell
She's got the (jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack)

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, you never know
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, and it hurts!
(she's got the jack)
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
Aaaaaah
Oooooh
Thank you, thank you, thank you people, thank you, thank you
I'm glad you like the show, yes, thank you very much folks

The Jack Song Chart

This song is about a venereal disease - "The Jack" is Australian slang for Gonorrhea, which is also known as "The Clap." AC/DC lead singer Bon Scott explained the origin of the song in a 1976 interview with Sounds. Said Scott: "We were living with this houseful of ladies who were all very friendly and everyone in the band had got the jack. So we wrote this song and the first time we did it on stage they were all in the front row with no idea what was goin' to happen. When it came to repeatin' 'She's got the jack' I pointed at them one after another." Added guitarist Angus Young: "After that, wherever we did the song the girls in the audience would run to the back of the hall."

Bon Scott was known for his outrageous behavior both on and off stage. He told this story in the same Sounds interview: "One time I had the jack and this girl wanted f--kin' and she was so ugly I figured, s--t! Nobody else would have her so she wouldn't spread it. But when we'd finished she went next door to Phil (Rudd, their drummer) and gave it to him. And a few weeks later she sent him a doctor's bill for 35 dollars for the cure. Well, next time she came to a show I got her up on stage in the middle of 'The Jack' and explained how she'd got it wrong and it was me owed her the money." On mike that was.

AC/DC takes the music in their songs much more seriously than their lyrics. They would often finish songs by writing lyrics that amuse them, and this is a good example of that technique.

This was released in Australia in 1975 on AC/DC's second album, T.N.T. Their first two Australian releases were combined to form High Voltage in 1976, which was their first album released worldwide.

In concert, Bon Scott would sometimes share with the crowd a more direct set of lyrics than the one on the recording. He also did a bit where he would introduce the song by singing (to the tune of "Maria" from West Side Story):

Gonorrhea, I've just had my first dose of gonorrhea

Such poetry can be heard on AC/DC's 1978 live album If You Want Blood, You've Got It.

AC/DC played this before a crowd of 500,000 at show in Toronto in 2003. The concert, which also featured The Rolling Stones, Rush, and others, was a benefit for the city, which suffered a drop in tourism due to the spread of a rare disease called SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome). AC/DC had no problem singing about one disease at a benefit for another, and the fans didn't mind either.

I'm upper, upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I've got the biggest balls of all

[Chorus]
I've got Big Balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great balls of fire!

[Chorus]

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure,
They're the balls that I like best.
And my balls are always bouncing,
To the left and to the right.
It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night.

[Chorus]

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh, we have such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail
Crabs

Big Balls Song Chart

The title is a sexual play on words. The lyrics describe a cocktail ball, but there is obviously a double meaning.

AC/DC takes the music much more seriously than the lyrics to most of their songs. They often rattle off humorous lyrics so as not to be taken too seriously. Chuck Berry is a major influence on their lyrical style. He wrote many songs with highly suggestive lyrics, but presented them in a comical way so they did not seem offensive (see "My Ding-a-Ling").

Radio stations sometimes play the song together with "Rocker" because it's right after this on the album and the song starts up right away. Radio DJs just let the next song play since both the songs are short. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ)

Nomadic Lyrics

Let's stare, upon my head is three onyx
Not again, not another excuse
The epidemic, it codepended
Biting off more than your mouth can chew
Don't forget to compilate your fake quest
I don't want to be a man today
For all that you know, I'm the devil and the bullet
I am the trigger that will make you all obey

I'm gonna make you cry tonight
I'm gonna make you hate me

Inside all my thoughts again
I can't let go
In spite of you, I'm lost again
I still don't know
Disguise has shown me
What if I am followed - lonely
The status quo was not a punishment
But now it feels like home

You're as filthy as you thought you're guilty
Started with the end of the day
Black and white is such a fascist feeling
Right or wrong, and nothing to say
The last good five prints, straight enough to fingerprint
But appreciated medical fiends
Confiscate another classic inbred
Fuck it all - light the acetylene

No one is you as I can't explain
Life keeps taking things away

Inside all my thoughts again
I can't let go
In spite of you, I'm lost again
I still don't know
Disguise has shown me
What if I am never lonely
The status quo was not a punishment
But now it feels like home

"The tough guys who came to kill, but stayed to rape and ravage."

The tortured serum, that's my friend
When the evidence came, I committed the flood
Can you stand on your faith with your feet on the bible?
Who could ask for a better disciple
What's the point, I'm not sure I can
I'll never dig another grave, I'm afraid of what I'll find
If it hurts then you're too woe
I'll take your shit and gut your fucking goat

I'm gonna make you cry tonight
I need you to hate me

Inside all my thoughts again
I can't let go
In spite of you, I'm lost again
I still don't know
Disguise has shown me
What if I have settled on it
The status quo was not a punishment
But now it feels like home
But now it feels like home

Nomadic Song Chart

This song is about the anger that kicked in as frontman Corey Taylor struggled to come to terms with the death of Slipknot founder member and bassist Paul Gray. He told Kerrang!: "It's almost like 'Goodbye' is slowly getting to your feet, 'Nomadic' is the splint that happens once you do get to your feet. And there's almost a misogynist kind of vibe to it, where it's like men shouldn't cry, or are afraid to show their true feelings, and this is the gnarly, aggressive repercussions of trying to hold it in, and standing out and try and put on a sense of bravado when inside you really just sinking fast in the quicksand."
