I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics

When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I have yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles

To fall down at your door
When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do

I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Song Chart

The Proclaimers are the Scottish twins Craig and Charlie Reid. This is their only hit in America, but four of their other songs made the UK Top 40, including their first hit, "Letter From America," which went to #3 in 1987.

This song is about being devoted to a woman and wanting to spend the rest of your life with her. And it's all sung in a Scottish accent.

In the line "I'm gonna be the one who's havering for you," 'havering' means babbling on.

This was written in 1988 and released on The Proclaimers album Sunshine On Leith. It became a hit when the song was used in the 1993 movie Benny And Joon, starring Johnny Depp and Mary Stuart Masterson.

Craig Reid in the Daily Mail, March 23, 2007: "I can remember sitting at the piano and the chords just came to me. I reckon I just wrote the whole thing in 45 minutes. I knew that it was a good song, maybe even a single, but I had no idea how popular it would become."

This was a hit in the US after being featured in the movie Benny & Joon after the director heard the song being played on his personal stereo by Mary Ann Waterston. The Proclaimers had no idea it would be featured in the film.

It was a #1 hit in Australia.

This song was adopted as a theme song by Hibernian Football Club in Scotland.

In March 2007 The Proclaimers teamed up with British comedians Peter Kay and Matt Lucas to release a new version for the charity Comic Relief, which topped the UK charts. Peter Kay stars as his wheelchair bound character the Phoenix Club boss Brian Potter and Matt Lucas in turn appears as his similarly wheelchair bound Little Britain character Andy Pipkin. The comedians duet on the first 2 verses of the song before the Proclaimers take over.

The original version returned to the British chart at #37 the same week the Comic Relief version entered the chart at #3 making The Proclaimers become the first act in over 20 years to chart simultaneously with two different recordings of the same song. The last person to achieve this was Lulu, who in the last week of July 1986 had both her original 1964 recording of "Shout" in the Top 75 alongside a brand new "86" version.

By 2002, 500 miles just wasn't enough, as Vanessa Carlton used the same lyrical theme, but with twice the distance, in her song "A Thousand Miles."

Country duo Haley & Michaels covered this for their 2014 eponymous debut EP. "When I heard it, I listened to it, and I felt like, 'Wait a second, this could take on a whole different meaning if a man and woman were singing it to each other,'" Haley said. "I bounced it off Ryan, and he had actually just heard it, and it was one of those things, it was on both of our minds, and we just started playing it to see what it would sound like."

This was featured in a beloved Budweiser commercial that aired during the 2015 Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. A sequel to the previous year's "Puppy Love" spot where the Budweiser Clydesdales befriend a golden retriever puppy, this one finds the dog getting lost, and the horses saving him from a wolf and guiding him home. The song was used to convey the lengths that living creatures will go for love.

The version used in the commercial is a downtempo take on the song performed by Sleeping at Last , which is the one-man operation of Ryan O'Neal. He released the song in 2013.

Killers & Kings Lyrics

Dark lady read me the future!
The ancient verse hidden away
I turn from the ever-gray, and

Tarot cards keep us enraptured!
Open mind become the sage
Let this unlock the cage!

Ancient power
Darkest hour
Open your third eye and you'll see

(Killers and kings!)
Inheritors of Earth
(Killers and kings!)
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings

Look to Earth, summon the master
Awake the human living inside
Ecclessiasticide.

The hangman gives into temperance
The sun shines over the fool
High priestess, spreads her rule

Death and rebirth
Decay and mirth
Open your third eye and you'll see

(Killers and kings!)
Inheritors of Earth
(Killers and kings!)
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings

The diamond bears our ring!!
Yeah!!
Oh!

The king of pentacles is here
Strength and fortitude help to push away the fear
We stand atop the mountain with the hermit and the lamp
As the lovers in the knight of swords give in to the damned

What do The cards say?
The prophecy remains
The devil in the emperor could keep us locked in chains
And the death card doesn't mean you die
It means a change is coming that you simply can't deny

Reborn!
Rebirth!
From death comes rebirth!

(Killers and kings!)
Inheritors of Earth
(Killers and kings!)
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings

(Killers and kings!)
Inheritors of Earth
(Killers and kings!)
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings

Killers & Kings Song Chart

This is a track from Machine Head's Bloodstone & Diamonds album. Frontman Rob Flynn blogged regarding the long player: "It's still what I would just call classic metal, but we've simplified beats, simplified riffs, taken the unnecessary complicated-ness of something and made it simple. I've even applied that to my lyrics, where I've stripped out a lot of extra words ('the's,' 'and's,' etc), and invented a lyrical technique I call 'clustering,' where you cluster vowels or cluster 'plosives' ('K's,' 'T's,' 'Ch's') together to make it sound heavier, or flow better. It doesn't read all that poetically, but in the song it sounds really cool. "

"I've also really worked hard on sharpening up my rhyme schemes, finding clever places to place rhymes, instead of the usual place at the end of a line, or even again, 'clustering' rhymes. It makes an abstract concept like 'Killers & Kings' (which references 20+ Tarot Cards, and that I'm very proud of the end result) to have a real meaning."

A 10-inch vinyl single containing the "demo" version of the song was originally released on April 19, 2014, as part of that year's Record Store Day.

End Of The World Lyrics

Everyone came around here
Everyone else got sick
And watched the clock tickin' slowly
Everyone knew the ending
Opened a bag of tricks
And stumbled over their own
They blew minds away
Sort of cripplin' just like thunder
And it's gone today
I'm so happy that it's on

Well it's the End Of The World
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world

Well it's far away
In a hurricane, twisting slowly
Now it's gone today
I'm so happy that it's on

Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world

It's my world, my love, my gun
It's my world, my love, my gun

Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world
Well it's the end of the world

It's my world, my love, my gun
It's my world, my love, my gun

The title track of Nonpoint's The Return album contains a rather crucial message for vocalist Elias Soriano. He said, "When you look back in your past, you always will find people who didn't believe in what you were doing at the beginning. They end up coming around full circle later."

"Watching them come back is an interesting feeling," Soriano added. "You can be a dick about it, or you can just be happy and live your life. That song is about opening the door and holding the proverbial slice of crow for them to eat high above your head."

WOW Lyrics

Hello, How are you?
You're looking so fine
No, it's true
Remember the time we first met?
You think that was good? You ain't seen nothin' yet

Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it WOW
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it

Sorry, I don't know
What came over me
The cycle of the moon affects the motion of the see what you did
It's starting all over again
We both want it now more than we did back then

Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it

Give me a minute
Let me get myself together
I'm never really out of control
Really, I'm so much better
Maybe it's your eyes, your stare, lookin' like lookin' like you wanna go somewhere
You wanna go somewhere?
Somethin' 'bout the wild in me, it's never tame
I think we're both alike, this is how we became

Like a bee to some honey
A moth to a flame
You got an addiction and you got me to blame.
You never saw it comin' 'cause I made no claims 'til now
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
You can call it call it wow
You can call it call it call it wow
You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it call it!

You can call it the unexpected or you can call it call it call it call it call it

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooo
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I had nothin' to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just goin' sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooo
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Look like nothin's gonna change
Everything, still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gonna sit, at the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooo yea
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time (whistle)

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Song Chart

Redding died in a plane crash on December 10, 1967, a month before this song was released (January 8, 1968) and three days after he recorded it. It was by far his biggest hit and was also the first ever posthumous #1 single in the US. Redding was a rising star moving toward mainstream success at the time of his death. There is a good chance he would have recorded many more hits if he had lived.

Stax guitarist Steve Cropper wrote this with Redding. Cropper produced the album when Redding died, including this track with various songs Redding had recorded the last few years. In a 1990 interview on NPR's Fresh Air, Cropper explained: "Otis was one of those kind of guys who had 100 ideas. Anytime he came in to record he always had 10 or 15 different intros or titles, or whatever. He had been at San Francisco playing The Fillmore, and he was staying at a boathouse (in Sausalito, across the bay from San Francisco), which is where he got the idea of the ship coming in. That's about all he had: 'I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again.' I took that and finished the lyrics. If you listen to the songs I wrote with Otis, most of the lyrics are about him. He didn't usually write about himself, but I did. 'Mr. Pitiful,' 'Sad Song Fa-Fa,' they were about Otis' life. 'Dock Of The Bay' was exactly that: 'I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco Bay' was all about him going out to San Francisco to perform."

When Otis recorded this, he and Cropper didn't have a last verse written, so he whistled it. He planned to return to Memphis and fill in the verse after performing in Madison, Wisconsin, but he died before he had the chance. When Cropper produced the song, he left the whistling in, and it fit the mood of the song perfectly. It is probably the most famous whistling in any song. (Thanks to Nashid at the Stax Museum for his help with this.)

Steve Cropper was a big fan of The Association, who had hits in 1966 with "Cherish" and "Along Comes Mary." He wrote the bridge for "Dock Of The Bay" based on their music, which he thought would help give the song a pop sound. Cropper thought The Association were a great example of an R&B influenced pop group.

Redding was the star recording artist for Stax Records, a Memphis label that made classic soul music. The death of Redding was a big blow to the label, and while it certainly had an impact on their demise in the '70s, there were other factors as well, including financial mismanagement and a change in musical tastes. In 2001, construction started on a soul music museum where the studios once stood, and it opened in 2003. To learn more about the museum and the Stax legacy, check out Stax Today .

Beach sound effects (waves, seagulls, etc.), were dubbed in after the recording. If you equate this to putting stickers on a Picasso, there are two very good outtakes of the song available on the Otis Redding collection Remember Me that are free of the overdubs. Stax Records had recently purchased a 4-track recorder, which made it easy to add the extra sounds.

Redding recorded this with Booker T. & the MG's, the house band for Stax Records. They played with all the Stax artists, including Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, and Albert King, and had a hit on their own with "Green Onions" in 1962.

In 1993, the three remaining members of Booker T. & the MG's (Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Booker T. Jones), backed Neil Young on his tour. They ended each show with this.

Redding died five months before Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot in Memphis, where this was recorded. The mood of peace and harmony evoked in this song gave way to angry racial tensions. Booker T And The MGs contained two whites and two blacks, standing out as an integrated band in a segregated city.

Booker T. & the MG's were on tour when they found out about Redding's death. They were in an Indiana airport with their flight delayed because of snow when one of their members called the Stax office and got the horrific news. When they returned to Memphis, Steve Cropper mixed the song for release. He said it was "maybe the toughest thing I've ever done." Redding's body had not even been recovered when Cropper finished the song.

Redding started to compose this while he was recovering from surgery removing polyps from his vocal cords. The doctors told him not to sing or talk for six weeks after the operation.

Redding wrote this soon after listening to The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which had just been released. Shortly before he started recording "Dock of the Bay," Redding alluded to it as an extension of the Beatles' music. In 1966 and 1967, Redding performed "A Hard Day's Night" and "Day Tripper" at some of his concerts.

This was so unlike any other Otis Redding composition that Stax Records chief Jim Stewart did not want the song released in any form - even after hearing both Redding and Cropper insist that it would be his first #1 single. Stewart relented when he heard the finished master recording put together by Cropper after Redding's death.

During the Vietnam War, this was very popular with American troops fighting there. The song portrayed quite the opposite of their reality.

The song is featured in the 1987 film Platoon.

Music licensing company BMI named this as the sixth-most performed song of the 20th century, with around 6 million performances.

Michael Bolton's 1987 version hit #11 in the US, his highest charting song until "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" hit #1 in 1989. Neal Schon of Journey played on Bolton's recording.

This won 1968 Grammy Awards for Best Rhythm & Blues Performance, plus Best Rhythm & Blues Song for writers Otis Redding and Steve Cropper.

Who knows where the zeroes & the x's go?
If u ever get the chance 2 travel back 2 ancient dance
Tell this balletina that I wish her well & happy romance
I'm doing much better than I was when she got me high
Trying 2 rely on how many layers I should strip & y
Like a buncha blind people playing tic tac toe
Who knows where the zeroes & the x's go?
Like a buncha blind people playing tic tac toe
Who knows where the zeroes & the x's go?
In simpler terms the tictac that I told u down below
Made ur womanly obligations better than u know
After which wide open eyes that previously were closed
Saw the past & other things about u better left untold
Like a buncha blind people playing tic tac toe
Who knows where the zeroes & the x's go?

Prince told Mojo magazine that this gentle ballad with layers of overlapping sounds was inspired by the Scottish dream pop band Cocteau Twins.

"We recorded it in Bryan Ferry's studio in London, after a night of partying for which the Cocteau Twins was the soundtrack," he explained. "You can't understand the words of Cocteau Twins songs but their harmonies put you in a dreamlike state."

Let's find a hideaway tonight
Somewhere where we can be together
I'm tired of waiting for the right time
If this is not the Ritz, whatever

[Chorus]

I want to hold more than your hand
I want to touch more than emotion
You don't need words to understand
This hole might be run-down and broken

[Chorus]

Don't think because I just can't wait that I don't care
This isn't meant to be a backseat love affair

This is about the desire to make love for the first time in a relationship. The line "This is not the Ritz whatever" is reference to the luxury hotel chain. "This isn't meant to be a backseat love affair" is implying that this is not about a one-night-stand, but rather the beginning of a meaningful relationship.

Fast Life Lyrics

I just woke up next to this chick who I don't know
And I'll probably never see her again
I can't remember what I did last night

When behind the shades is the only place you can hide
And your waking thought is more often than not where am I?
Still pissed, and a half-empty bottle of liquor's
The only liquid you can find
Too busy to reminisce over a time when you have time
And all you wanna do is chill, baby hold onto
Something that you can feel
That ain't too much to ask for, is it?
When you no longer look like the you in your passport picture
All you wanna do is turn over and find her
Normally turn over and you find her
But this time I turned over and I found you
Though we might not get to know what this might amount to

I just woke up next to this chick who I don't know
And I'll probably never see her again
I can't remember what I did last night
Let alone last weekend
I'd always wanted to live the Fast Life
'Til it started speeding up
Now I'm here living the fast life
Good luck keeping up

A life that went from canap's to classic champagne
Cocktails to cigarette butts and champagne flutes
Rolled up notes, a few lines of coke
One hell of a headache and two piles of clothes
Room full of smoke, eyes full of sleep
A plane I've gotta catch and a bed I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna leave you, I wanna wake you
But I should let you sleep through, you look so peaceful
Tiptoeing as I'm rushing to get my things together
Too many pieces of puzzles for me to piece together
Maybe I'll leave a letter, in the hope that
When she wakes, she remembers me and that we fell asleep together
But likely she remembered nothing
Woke up in a rush and huffing at how Stephen kept her knocking
Grabbed her things, didn't see the letter, let alone open it
Stepped over it on her way out and never even noticed it

I just woke up next to this chick who I don't know
And I'll probably never see her again
I can't remember what I did last night
Let alone last weekend
I'd always wanted to live the fast life
'Til it started speeding up
Now I'm here living the fast life
Good luck keeping up

I just woke up next to this chick who I don't know
And I'll probably never see her again
I can't remember what I did last night
Let alone last weekend
I'd always wanted to live the fast life
'Til it started speeding up
Now I'm here living the fast life
Good luck keeping up

This song was originally going to be a single featuring Example, but the singer/rapper's record company blocked the collaboration. Green explained to Digital Spy : "Sony didn't want Example to do any features before his own material, so he wouldn't have been able to be on it. I had to sing the chorus again like I did for the demo and it's good because it forced something out of me that I wasn't necessarily comfortable with."

"Not something that I can't do, I'm just not used to using my voice like that. I've always sung bits and bobs on my songs but I sing on 'Fast Life'."

Professor Green and Example did previously work together on "Monster," a track from Green's 2010 Alive Till I'm Dead album. They also both contributed toward's Tinchy Stryder's posse single "Game Over."

A duet between Hooker and Raitt, this was included on Hooker's album The Healer, but not on Raitt's Nick of Time, which was released the same year.

This won a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Recording. It was the first for Hooker, and one of four Raitt won that night. Those were her first Grammys.

When they recorded this, the lights were dimmed in the studio to get the right atmosphere. Raitt called the recording of this song, "One of the highest erotic experiences of my life."

The Healer is an album of duets between Hooker and artists like Carlos Santana and George Thorogood.

Raitt and Hooker met a full two decades before recording this song. They used to flirt in real life, too.

Raitt was always a huge fan of Hooker. She said that working with him changed the way she thought about men in their 70s and 80s.

Keep your coat up in the kitchen while you feed the kids
Keep your waitin’ in the winter while the tension ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk; you know where it’s done
(You think I’m the negative one)

Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

New Dorp New York

Late nights and black Israelites
White women singing under dying the lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs
Late nights and black Israelites
White women singing under dying the lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs

I got a baseball bat, never hit home runs

My girl's got a minimum
Keep it stuck right there 'til the lumber comes
Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen calienda, never seen the sun

New Dorp New York

Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

My girl's got a little schtick
Keep your coat up in the kitchen while you feed the kids
Keep your waitin’ in the winter while the tension ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk; you know where it’s done

My girl's got a city to run

New Dorp, New York Song Chart

The title of this bass-heavy song references a small neighborhood in New York's most distant borough, Staten Island. It features rapped vocals from Ezra Koening. SBTRKT told The Guardian how he convinced the Vampire Weekend frontman to rap over the track. "We talked about it beforehand, and it made sense because Ezra had these great lyrics and I was intrigued by the fact he had this hip-hop past," he explained. "It's a quintessential New York song, it feels like it has ownership of a place and time, and that was what my album was about for me."
