High Hopes Lyrics

Another dream, goes up in smoke
Huh!

And so fire me up, another toke
Yeah, I'm commin' on
I've got master plans, by the dozens
A-flashin' through my brain, when I get buzzin'

Whoa!
Suddenly, they're gone
All that inspiration, runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
Oh, your runnin' on

You got...
High Hopes
And they're up in smoke

Up all night, tweakin' every detail
The way I've got it, this could never fail
Hey! This could be the big one
High hopes
Come and go, so high
But commin' down, fade away and die
High hopes
I got them, more than a dream
They all get wasted
Yeah!

Ohhh, the inspiration, runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
Your runnin' on
Oh!
You got...high hopes
Your livin' on
High hopes
High hopes
Oh yeah...
But they're wasted

All that talk, is gettin' nuthin' done
Ain't it hard to move, when your body's numb
Put it off, another day

High hopes
Come and goin' so high
And commin' down, fade away and die
High hopes
They're nuthin' more than a dream
They all get wasted

Ohhh, the inspiration, runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
They're givin' you
Oh!...you got
Welllll Oh,
High hopes

Your livin' on
High hopes
You got
High hopes

High hopes
AAAAAAH! Yeah
High hopes
Keep livin' on
High hopes
High hopes

High Hopes Song Chart

The cover of the album shows Hagar in a boxing ring. His father was a professional boxer, and Sammy was headed down that road until moving to Southern California at age 19. From then on, he played in numerous bar bands.

Hagar claims this is based on people who create wonderful plans and aspirations while under the influence of drugs, but then fail to follow through when they come down. He also says it's based on personal experience.

This is the leadoff song on the album.

While recording this, Hagar was still the lead singer of Van Halen. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen got a production credit.

Headlights Lyrics

Everybody knows when the summer gets hotter
Everybody goin' on down by the water, chillin'
Nothin' gets rocking 'til the clock says midnight
Catch a buzz on a honeysuckle moonlight

Shotguns, girlfriends, coolers full of cold cans

Follow those Headlights
Down a broken fence line
Take it to the riverside
Point 'em through the red dust
Keep it in the tire ruts
If you wanna find us
Wanna go all night, hell yeah that's right
Follow those headlights

Got a girl in a tee and cut-offs shakin'
Around here we call that summertime naked
Yeah, shake it
Got bottoms up boys, hats on backwards
Hittin' it hard, says to park them tractors

Got Hank up on 10, if you can't hear him
If you can't hear him

Follow those headlights
Down a broken fence line
Take it to the riverside
Point 'em through the red dust
Keep it in the tire ruts
If you wanna find us
Wanna go all night, hell yeah that's right
Follow those headlights

Follow those headlights, yeah

Follow those headlights
Down a broken fence line
Take it to the riverside
Point 'em through the red dust
Keep 'em in the tire ruts
If you wanna find us
Wanna go all night, hell yeah that's right
Follow those headlights
Follow those headlights, yeah

Headlights Song Chart

This rock-country cut was written by Bob DiPiero (Montgomery Gentry's "If You Ever Stop Loving Me"), Wendell Mobley (Randy Houser's "How Country Feels") and Tony Martin (Keith Urban's "You Look Good In My Shirt"). "A feel-good song with a really great beat," Troy Gentry commented to USA Today. "And it's got that Montgomery Gentry message of having a good time, laying back and looking for the weekend."

This song, along with the rest of the album, was produced by Michael Knox, who also has worked with Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett and Trace Adkins. "He's great at finding songs for us," Gentry said. "He gets us, knows what we singing about, knows our sound. He's able to go out and find those kinds of songs."

Eddie Montgomery is the lead voice on the verses whilst Troy Gentry takes the lead on the chorus. Gentry admitted to Billboard magazine it's a familiar formula. "It has always worked for us, and it's a case of, 'If it's not broke, don't fix it.' It's just that unique style," he said. "When you hear them performed, you know it's a Montgomery Gentry song."

"That's been a staple of what we've been about and what's worked for us. We're fortunate that Eddie and I are both able to take lead on these songs. We're kind of like ying and yang," Gentry added with a smile.

No Matter What Lyrics

No Matter What you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around

Won't you tell me what you found girl, oh girl won't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be

No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see in my face girl, oh girl don't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be

No matter what you are

Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you

Hey Baby Lyrics

Hey Baby, hey baby, hey!
Girls say,boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Hey baby baby
I'm the kinda girl that hangs with the guys
Like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes
Taking it in, try to be feminine
With my makeup bag watching all the sin
Misfit, I sit, lit up, wicked
Everybody else surrounded by the girls
With the tank tops and the flirty ways

I'm just sipping on chamomile
Watching boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in the face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school

[Chorus]
All the boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Girls say, girls say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Hey baby baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
All the boys get the girls in the back

I'm the one they feed upon
Give a bit a star is born
And if you had enough you'll get the pass
And you can tell your friends how you made it back
No matter what they say I'm still the same
Somehow everybody knows my name
And all the girls want to get with the boys
And the boys really like it

[Chorus]

[Bounty Killer]
Check it out, it's Bounty Killer, and no doubt
Jump on the stage makes me going crazy
After wards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies(that's right)
There is no need to be acting shady
Come on baby, hey hey baby
Jump on the stage makes me going crazy
After wards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies(yea man)
There is no need to be acting shady
Come on baby, hey hey baby
When you rock your hips you know that it amaze me
Got me off the hook and nothing else don't phase me
Can you be my one and only sunshine lady
If no, no maybe, hey

[Gwen]
I'm just sipping on chamomile
Watching boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in the face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school
(hey baby, hey baby)(that's right)

All the boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Girls say, girls say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Hey baby baby (hey baby)
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!

When you rock your hips you know that it amaze me

Hey Baby Song Chart

This song is about groupies who try very hard to get some time with the male members of No Doubt. Lead singer Gwen Stefani says these ladies are much worse than the male fans who like her. As the only girl in the group, she sees what happens backstage as her bandmates entertain their female fans.

Jamaican reggae artist Bounty Killer does the rap on this song and is in the video. In Jamaica, rappers are known as "toasters," as rap began there when DJs spoke over records, which they called "toasting."

Reggae musicians Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare (Sly and Robbie) produced this. They were session musicians for years, providing reggae rhythms for Bob Dylan, Grace Slick, and The Rolling Stones, among others.

This was the first single from the album. It was released 15 months after their last one, Return Of Saturn, which was released five years after Tragic Kingdom.

At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, this won for Best Pop Video and Best Group Video.

This won the 2002 Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance By A Duo Or Group. No Doubt performed on the show before they won - they had the unenviable task of going on after Simon and Garfunkel reunited to perform a moving rendition of their classic "The Sound Of Silence."

Both acts were introduced by actor Dustin Hoffman, and while Hoffman was quite familiar with Simon and Garfunkel (he starred in The Graduate, which they contributed to), he apparently knew little about No Doubt. When he introduced them, he said that his daughter had coached him on their music and sort of sang a little of this, except he sang "Say Baby" instead of "Hey Baby." Hoffman is clearly more comfortable at the Oscars, he also called Bruce Springsteen "Bruce Springstreet."

Backwards, the line "Boys Say" sounds like "Yes Sir." (thanks, Conrad - Los Angeles, CA)

Voices in My Head Lyrics

Uh, feel my heart beating
Uh, feel my heart beating
Uh, feel my heart beating

Ah, daddy has flown to paradise
He was on dialysis
Life was harder than calluses
Needed a drug, so I'm smoking on cannabis
Loving them bitches you tappin'
Were probably the same bitches you and your man done hit
Bari told me that she was a ho
That pussy, I couldn't abandon it
I was on drugs, we high
On the Summer Jam stage
Eating off a cloud, high off the haze
Feel like I was floating for about a hundred days
Now I'm texting a couple bitches hoping I'm getting laid
Couple of bird bitches up in the
Ain't fucking text back, oh, now I'm feeling played, oh damn
Yams said "Ferg, you don't look good"
'Cause I'm high, I'm so high
Time has flown by
My eyes, they don't lie
Where the fuck is Lou? I'm trying to be polite
I think he laced me, I'm a chuck him like bowtie
Oh, he shall die
Or Percy probably gave me a coke high
Coke in a blunt, nigga, what a surprise

All these Voices in My Head
Voices in my head, head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
All these voices in my head, head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
All these voices in my head, head

Oh, lots of thoughts running through my brains
Don't want to be caught like Kurt Cobain
My mind's a Porsche, switching lanes
All of a sudden I'm feeling all of this guilt and pain
Kids is dying from drugs they buying
Popping a molly, get feeling like Iron Man
Shit is like lighting a fire inside of them
Fuck is you thinking kids trying to get higher than?
Higher than Mars, killing ourselves cause we live in a fucked up environment
Dreams of becoming doctors and firemen
Shouldn't give in to this early retirement

All these voices in my head
Voices in my head, head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
All these voices in my head, head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
All these voices in my head, head

Feeling down n' dirty, feeling kinda mean
I've been from one to another extreme
This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait
I want to stick around till I can't see straight

Fill my eyes with that double vision, no disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me

Never do more than I really need
My mind is racing, but my body's in the lead
Tonight's the night, I'm gonna push it to the limit
I live all of my years in a single minute

Fill my eyes with that double vision, no disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision always seems to get the best of me, the best of me, yeah

Ooh, double vision, I need my double vision
It takes me out of my head, takin' me out of my head
I get my double vision, oh, seeing double double
Oh, I have double vision, (oh double vision) yeah
Oh I'm getting double vision

One more shot across the bow
One more bullet through the heart
You've got me bleeding on the ground
I got you wounded in the dark
Why do we always, take this way too far

Surrender tonight this time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how

Did the bed that we made
Become our Battleground

When the damage has been done
I know you hurt so don't pretend
Where we're used to making love
Now we're making war instead
Before it's too late
Lay your arms down let me in

Surrender tonight this time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering ho

Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground

Just hold your fire long enough to see
This ain't how it's supposed to be

Once all that we've got is lost
The walls will fall
Please don't let them fall on me

Oh

I wanna lay you down
Surrender all the sorrow, the sorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone

I wanna lay you down
Surrender till tomorrow, tomorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone
Yeah

Just surrender till it's gone
Just surrender till it's gone

I don't wanna fight no more
Say, I can feel it all there
I wanna tell right just then and there oh
Say yeah
Say yeah

I don't wanna fight this battle anymore.

Battleground Song Chart

World On Fire is the second studio album featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. The record was produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who also helmed Alter Bridge's Blackbird, AB III and Fortress long players. Myles Kennedy told Blabbermouth why he was pleased to hook up with producer again: "His ability to get the best out of a rock band is pretty special," he said. "He always seems to be aware of what the fans want to hear from an artist."

"He did a great job documenting Slash's tone and sound," Kennedy continued. "I remember the first time I heard the solo for 'Battleground' — I was blown away. Elvis captured the sonic hallmarks that made Slash's playing resonate with me 25 years ago. Elvis is hands-on with every element of the recording process. From the arrangements to the final mix, he is relentless at making sure that the record is everything it should be and more."

Itchycoo Park Lyrics

Over bridge of sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green

Under dreaming spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been

(What did you do there?) I got high
(What did you feel there?) well, I cried
(But why the tears there?) tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

I'll tell you what I'll do (what will you do?) I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school (won't that be cool?) why go to learn the words of fools?

(What will we do there?) we'll get high
(What will we touch there?) we'll touch the sky
(But why the tears there?) I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, hah

It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

Itchycoo Park Song Chart

Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane of Small Faces wrote this song, which is about skipping school to hang out at a park. Of course, with the lyrics, "What did you do there? I got high," it was fairly obvious that they were doing in the park, although the band denied that it was about drugs, kind of like John Lennon did with "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," which was released the same year. Marriott told Creem in 1975: "The thing about 'Itchycoo Park' was that the era was wrong, and the word 'high' freaked everybody out. All the radio stations. But that song was real. Ronnie Lane and I used to go to a park called Itchycoo Park. I swear to God. We used to bunk off school and groove there. We got high, but we didn't smoke. We just got high from not going to school."

"Itchycoo Park" is the nickname of Little Ilford Park in London. An "Itchycoo" is slang for a flower found in the park called a "Stinging Nettle," which can burn the skin if touched. Said Lane: "It's a place we used to go to in Ilford years ago. Some bloke we know suggested it to us because it's full of nettles and you keep scratching."

This was the biggest American hit Small Faces ever had (they were much more popular in England), but according to Ronnie Lane, they considered it a joke when they recorded it; the band would screw around in the studio to get a laugh out of their manager Andrew Oldham. The song came out sounding so good that they started to take it seriously.

Regarding the origins of this song, Ronnie Lane explained in a 1991 interview with Record Hunter: "'Itchycoo Park' basically came from me. I lifted it from a hymn, 'God Be In My Head,' and I also got the theme to the words in a hotel in Bath or Bristol. There was a magazine in the room with a rambling account of some place in the country and it was about 'dreaming spires' and a 'bridge of sighs' – there was a write-up on this town – and I just thought they were nice lines."

This song features one of the first uses of phase-shifting production, which you can hear when the vocals and drums become distorted in the song. The technique was called comb filtering, which could later be created using a processor, but at the time required three tape machines - two of them playing the same thing at different frequencies and the third one recording it. According to Glyn Johns, who engineered the sessions, it was a staff producer at Olympic Studios named George Chkiantz who came up with the effect, and Johns was looking for a place to use it. The Faces were always looking for new sounds and encouraged Johns to use the technique on this song.

Keyboardist Ian McLagan recalled to Uncut magazine: "We tried to replicate the phasing effect when we played it live. It was hopeless."

In the UK, this became a hit for the second time when it was rereleased in 1975, going to #9. A cover my M People made #11 in the UK in 1995.

On its release, the BBC immediately banned the song because of overt drug references - "What did you do there? - I got high" and "I feel inclined to blow my mind, get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun, They all come out to groove about, Be nice and have fun in the sun."

So Small Faces manager Tony Calder explained the song had an innocent interpretation. In Marriott's biography, All Too Beautiful, by Paolo Hewitt and John Hellier, Calder says: "We told the BBC Itchycoo Park was waste ground in the East End which the band had played on as kids. We put the story out at ten and by lunchtime we were told the ban was off."

McLagan (from Uncut magazine): "I never liked 'Itchycoo Park' because me and Ronnie had to sing, 'It's all too beautiful,' and you sing that a few times, and you think... It's not."

"But years after that I'd finally, properly, checked out the words, and realised it was about education and privilege," he added. "The 'bridge of sighs' is the one in Cambridge. The 'dreaming spires' are a reference to Oxford. Then 'to Itchycoo Park... That's where I've been,' Ronnie was saying, 'I didn't need privilege or education. Found beauty in a nettle patch in the East End of London."

The Negative One Lyrics

Fire and caffeine, a lot of nicotine
I'm on a burn, so I better tell you everything
The competition, the superstition
Nevermind 'cause you're never gonna give in
If acquired and that's how you like it
The same trouble in a different disguise
Bound to walk with a target on my back
At least I'm ready for another attack

The Lord of lies
The morning star
You had to be set free
Opposing sides
Your choices are
The Negative One and me

Svengali, wail with the enemies
I never follow and I never make apologies
Your divisions, are gonna get ya
Because you won't disappoint each other
Center for the cynical, you're so political
You're getting ready 'cause the first move is critical
Reciprocity, somebody's listening
Until we learn from our time we can never die

The Lord of lies
The morning star
You had to be set free
Opposing sides
Your choices are
The negative one and me
The negative one and me

I hope you live
To see the day
When your world comes up in flames
And as you die
You see my face
You're the only one to blame, yeah
Fuck

The Prescient, the Nascent
The quotient (They all will fall)
The Cystic, symbolic, condition (Systemic)
Egregious, replete with
These lesions (Contaminate)
Succumb to the selfish
Creation (Your failure)

Know I got ability, divisibility
I point a finger but it's always looking back at me
The centerpiece pulling on the mechanism
Unearthing skies of the cataclysm
When the innocent begin to circumvent
The color fades, but the picture is vibrant
What do you believe, doesn't matter now
Turn away, the killer is that of now

The Lord of lies
The morning star
You had to be set free
Opposing sides
Your choices are
The negative one and me

I hope you live
To see the day
When your world comes up in flames
And as you die
You see my face
You're the only one to blame

The Lord of lies
The morning star
You had to be set free
Opposing sides
Your choices are
The negative one and me

The Negative One Song Chart

The first song to be released by Slipknot, following the death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010 and the departure of drummer Joey Jordison in 2013, this finds Corey Taylor shouting/screaming:

The Lord of Lies
You had to be set free
Opposing sides
Your choices are the negative one and me.

It has been speculated that the lyrics are about Jordison, who was assigned "1" as his numbered alias shortly after Slipknot's formation. Speaking to Metal Hammer, Corey Taylor put the argument to rest, denying Jordison was the singer's muse for the song. "'The Negative One' was about me, not about Joey, and that's why the song says, 'Your choices are the negative one and me,' which is the two kind of colliding together," he said. "'The Devil In I' is the same, which you'd think would be f---ing apparent."

"We all have so many different sides to ourselves, but especially with this band," Taylor added. "When we get together, there's something about the music we make that really unleashes the crazy, dark s--t inside of us. And that song in particular is about, basically, embracing it again, giving into it and letting it have its say. Because if you don't, then you sit on it and you repress and it blows up in really negative ways. So, that song is about freeing it."

The song's music video was directed by percussionist Shawn Crahan with Darren Craig (Rihanna's "What Now"). Crahan has helmed most of Slipknot's music videos and concert documentaries.

Taylor told Rolling Stone says the song is about himself coming to terms with the loss of Paul Gray, which left him with a feeling of powerlessness. "It's about, 'Why didn't I think of something?'" he said. "'Why didn't I do something? Why didn't I try to be a better friend, to be a better brother?' You'll keep yourself awake nights thinking that s--t. You have to turn on yourself and go, 'You can mourn this person. You can keep this person in your heart, but life is life. It's just something that you can't control.'"

I Shot The Sheriff Lyrics

I Shot The Sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy

All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy, but I say

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, I say

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well
But one day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no

I Shot The Sheriff Song Chart

This was written and originally recorded by Bob Marley in 1973. A member of Clapton's band played the Bob Marley album for him and convinced him to record it.

This is Clapton's only #1 hit. He came close in 1992 with "Tears In Heaven," which reached #2.

Clapton didn't want to use this on the album because he thought it might seem disrespectful to Marley. Members of his band and management convinced him that it should not only go on the album, but also be released as a single.

Eric spoke with Bob Marley about the song, he said "I tried to ask him what the song was all about, but couldn't understand much of his reply. I was just relieved that he liked what we had done." (from Clapton: The Autobiography )

New Moon Lyrics

Well I've always been certain
Nearly all of my life
One day I'd be your burden
And you would be my wife

Let me hang like a New Moon
And let me be your twin
Let me hang like a new moon
And don't treat me like a stranger again

You keep me as your thief
Please let me be a little more
And when you fall asleep
Let me be what you're dreaming for

Let me hang like a new moon
Don't treat me like a stranger anymore

Well I've always been certain
Nearly all my life
One day I'd be a burden
And you would be my wife

Let me hang like a new moon
High in the wind
Let me hang like a new moon
Don't treat me like a stranger again

You keep me as a theif
Please let me be a little more
When you fall asleep
Let me be what you're dreaming for

I've always been certain
Nearly all of my life

Sukierae is the debut album by Tweedy, a side project formed by Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer. The record was titled after Jeff Tweedy's wife and Spencer's mother Sue "Sukie" Miller, whose fight with cancer during its recording influenced the lyrical content. Jeff Tweedy explained to Uncut magazine: "She called herself Sukie her whole life because ('60s teen idol) Peter Noone's little sister was Sukie Noone, and she was in love with Peter Noone when she was nine."

Although Sukierae was started before Sukie Miller's diagnosis of cancer, many of its songs describe scenes from a long love affair with a hint of melancholy. Jeff Tweedy sings here over an acoustic guitar:

Oh, I've always been certain nearly all of my life
One day I would be your burden, and you would be my wife

Tweedy told Uncut: "Well, she's definitely on my mind a lot, always, and especially while writing lyrics for this record. It was hard not to sing to her, and honor this thing that we've maintained, that's so hard to do."
