New York, New York Lyrics

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
I had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breakin' like a rocket who was makin' its way
To the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I've been broken up and busted up since

And love don't play any games with me, anymore
Like she did before
The world won't wait, so I better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you, New York

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the children they were singing their tunes
Out on the streets and you could hear from inside
Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
I would wait for you and I'd try to hide

And love won't play any games with ypu, anymore
If you don't wanna 'em to
The world won't wait and I watched you shake
But honey, I don't blame you
Hell, I still love you, New York
Hell, I still love you, New York, New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the Upper West Side
Babe, I stood there singing, I was holding your arm
You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
At least we left before we had to go

And love won't play any games with you, anymore
If you don't want 'em to
So we better shake this old thing out the door
I'll always be thinkin' of you
I always love you, love New York
I always love you, love New York
I always love you, love New York
I always love you, love New York

Adams was born and raised in North Carolina, where he was a member of the group Whiskeytown. He first moved to New York in 1999 to be closer to his girlfriend, who he wrote this about. In the song, she is "New York," hence the line, "I still love you, New York." (thanks, Andrew Nelson - Columbus, GA)

Adams and his girlfriend eventually broke up, and he ended up in Nashville. He played his first shows as a solo artist in New York.

The video features Adams lip-synching across the river from the World Trade Center. It was filmed on September 7, 2001. He dedicated the video to all those who lost their lives on September 11.

Speaking to Billboard magazine about the song in 2011, Adams said: "The song was about a lady. It's a poorly written song, I think, about my supposed time in New York in my early twenties. I always felt like it was going to be misappropriated anyway. I'm not from here, but it was like the 'silly, new New Yorker' thing to do. I just only recently started playing it again, which is pretty cool. But I play it the way I originally played it, which was on piano."

The video was inspired by a popular sitcom. Adams recalled to Billboard magazine: "The original video, we shot was in a taxi cab and it came out badly. I was a fanatic for the show Friends. Like, I've seen every episode in order. So I said, 'Can we just shoot it so it has all the angles from the Friends opening sequence, when they show the city?' If you actually look at Friends and the angles that sweep by in the opening sequence, it's pretty much exactly where I am in several of those parts of the video, in the performance part. So that was the original intention of the video, me poking fun at my Friends obsession."

Taxloss Song Chart

This searing update of The Beatles' "Taxman" was written by Mansun frontman Paul Draper for the group's debut album, Attack of the Grey Lantern. The song was edited down from over seven minutes to four and a half minutes for its single release.

The video was filmed on April 17, 1997 by Roman Coppola, who is the son of Francis Ford Coppola and brother of Sofia . Secret cameras caught the avarice of real London commuters as £25,000 in £5 notes were thrown from the upper concourse of Liverpool Street Station onto the people below. The ensuing chaos as the crowd scrambled for the cash highlighted their greed.

The Attack of the Grey Lantern album was based around a concept of a superhero, the titular "Grey Lantern" and his encounters with the bizarre inhabitants of a fictional English town.

Nightswimming Lyrics

Nightswimming Song Chart

This nostalgic song revisits an idyllic childhood memory of the band when they would go skinny dipping in Athens, Georgia. R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck explained: "We used to sneak on this guy's property in Athens and go swimming in this water hole. It'd be great: 30 of us all running around naked. It was before AIDS, and whatever happened happened."

R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills wrote this song and played piano on the track. They recorded the song at Criteria Studios in Miami, which is where Derek And The Dominos recorded. The piano Mills played was the same one Bobby Whitlock and Jim Gordon used to play the famous ending on "Layla."

The lyrics were written before R.E.M. recorded their 1991 album, Out of Time. They couldn't find any good music for it until after the album was released.

In the video, directed by Jem A. Cohen, the song fades out for about a minute-and-a-half. All that can be heard are grasshoppers and other night noises. Then the music resumes.

The album title comes from a soul food diner in Athens, Georgia, where the waiters answer "automatic" after you order. Michael Stipe loves diners and once opened a vegetarian diner of his own.

This was the only R.E.M. song where the lyrics were written before the music, inspiring some healthy competition between Mike Mills and Peter Buck. Buck recalls in the liner notes for In Time: "Being competitive bastards that we are, Mike and I started auditioning chord changes and tunes for Michael. The two tunes of mine that Michael rejected eventually became 'Drive' and 'Try Not To Breathe.' Mike had a piano instrumental that he played to Michael. He listened once, nodded his head to hear it again, and on the second pass he sang the lyrics. It was 'Nightswimming,' exactly like the record we would record a year later. I was standing in the corner dumbfounded."

"There's a fairly autobiographical narrative to this one, and the part about the windshield really happened," Michael Stipe wrote in the liner notes for Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, referring to the lyrics "The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago, turned around backwards so the windshield shows." He said: "That's exactly how I saw it, I'm pretty sure it was a pickup truck. I know Jem Cohen loves that line, and he made the most incredible film as a video for this song."

Mike Mills played this in concert with Robert McDuffle and the students at Mercer University's McDuffle Center for Strings. "I think one of my favorite parts is the orchestra tuning up in the beginning," he noted in Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, 1982-2011.

The Observations Of A Crow Lyrics

Newspaper boy makin' his rounds
Spreadin' the word all over town
Drivin' his car just as fast as it will go

There's papers in the driveway, papers in the yard
Paper broke a window, he didn't throw it that hard
But it shattered like a dream down in the valley below

Hey, quarter moon, well how was your night?
Yeah well, any minute now God's gonna hit them brights
So if you stick around, don't you say that you weren't told

Well, take it from me, you better grab your shades
If He looks at you, ooh, well try not to look so afraid
Just do the best that you can, but don't you think that He won't know

Creosote's drippin' from the high line poles
Fast as you can count 'em, 12 in a row
Blessed accommodations for the daily observations of a crow

Well, that cat down there, yeah, well he's Louie the flea
He's married to a waitress by the name of Lora Lee
When they scream and they holler, man they put on a show

He's a protected witness from a Detroit job
Turned his best friend in, his name is Bob
I know who got the time, but who do you think got the dough?

Take a look at that pilgrim passin' by
He's lookin' for love, I can see it in his eyes
He's runnin' 'round in circles, you can take it from me

His shadow begs for mercy that every lost and found
In city after city, town after town
Tortured by the memory of a love he thought was supposed to be

Creosote's drippin' from the high line poles
Fast as you can count 'em, 12 in a row
Blessed accommodations for the daily observations of a crow

Well, I'm a genuine scoopologist, the name is Crow
Sitting up here, watching the show
In this one horse drive-through, forsaken, dried up piece of the world

Well, it ain't much but it's my kingdom, it's my home
Even had a queen till that parakeet came along
Fast talking, loud squawking, green feathered scrak took my girl, later

The Observations Of A Crow Song Chart

The Pilgrim tells the story of a man from Marty Stuart's hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi and this track is from the point of view of a crow observing the town's nightlife. Stuart told the story of the song to American Songwriter magazine: "I was riding through the West. I think we were pulling off of the interstate and we pulled off on Route 66 somewhere just to get fuel in the bus. It was like one of the places, it looked like a ghost town. There was just a few locals around."

"But I happened to look up. And there was a crow sitting on the electrical line. And I couldn't take my eyes off him. I've always been fascinated by crows, I've always loved crows. Bus as people would come and go, the few people that there were, that crow never left. He kept hanging out. And I thought, 'The Observations Of A Crow.' And it was that simple but it was an occurrence that came to me on Route 66 somewhere."

There has been a number of discussions on message boards concerning the melodic similarities between this song, and Bob Dylan's "Things Have Changed," which was recorded shortly afterwards. Stuart told American Songwriter magazine there is a reason for the resemblance, due to one night when he hung out with Dylan.

"I took him to my warehouse to see all the country music treasures I have," Stuart said. "Bob said, 'Hey, I like that 'Crow' song. I might borrow something out of that.' I said, 'Well, I probably borrowed it from you in the first place. Go ahead."

Here are some crow fun facts from The Encyclopedia of Trivia :

Crows have different warning calls depending on the type of predator they are warning their fellow crows about.

Crows recognize human faces and can hold grudges.

"As the crow flies" is an idiom for the shortest route between two points. It is actually the rook that flies straight to its destination, rather than the crow, but the two black birds are often identified with each other.

When crows drop stones into water to make food more accessible, they display the reasoning skills of children aged 5-7.

Drive Lyrics

Drive Song Chart

The central lyric, "Hey kids, rock n' roll," was borrowed from "Rock On" by David Essex. The words may be the same, but the mood is completely different. This is a much more somber song.
Lead singer Michael Stipe explained in the November 12, 2009 issue of Rolling Stone: "There were, before Punk, a few songs that resonated with me. One was David Essex's "Rock On." "Drive" is a homage to that. It was the first song I wrote on computer. Before, I had a typewriter. The reason is my handwriting changes dramatically day to day. I don't trust it. I will write one of the best lyrics ever and discard it because the handwriting looks like s--t. Or the handwriting looks good but it's a crap lyric, lo and behold, it's in the song. Too late."

Guitarist Peter Buck used a nickel as a guitar pick for the mid-song guitar solo to get a sharper sound. He overdubbed the track six times.

There is a line in the song that goes, "Smack, crack, bushwhacked." This can be seen as an indictment of then-U.S. President George Bush (the first one). Lead singer Michael Stipe had taken out ads in college newspapers in 1988 saying, "Don't Get Bushwhacked. Get out and vote. Vote Dukakis." They weren't very effective.

This was released two months before the national election between Bush and Bill Clinton. Clinton won that one, but eight years later Bush's son became president. When the younger Bush ran for re-election in 2004, R.E.M. performed concerts to benefit his opponent, John Kerry.

This song has no chorus. That doesn't happen very often in hit songs.

This was the first single released off the album. It was issued a few days before the album came out.

At live shows, R.E.M. played a funk-rock version of this song because its ambient atmosphere was difficult to duplicate. This version appears on a 1993 benefit album for Greenpeace called Alternative NRG.

The album title comes from a sign at a diner in Athens, Georgia, where the band formed. It read, "Delicious Fine Foods - Automatic For The People."

Director Peter Care shot the black-and-white music video at Sepulveda Dam in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles. The clip mostly has Stipe crowdsurfing as he performs the song.

Creation Lyrics

I can see just who you are
You are you are the missing part
The only living boy left in the world

What’s the city done to you?
You’re walking down Fifth Avenue
You’re looking for salvation in a girl.

If you get what you receive,
It comes down to what you believe
Do you believe you’re someone she can love?

Life is like a loaded gun,
Point it at the lonely ones
Will the final bullet be enough?

You’re the Creation
You’re the reason
You’re the rising sun and the colors in my mind

You’re the changing of the seasons
You’re the growing old and the passing of the time

You live
You learn
You laugh
You cry
And you can never get enough

You drink
You dance
You fight
You die
And maybe you believe in love

(Maybe you believe in love)

I know who you want to be
You want to be good company
But everything you say gets turned around

So you decide to be alone
You disconnect your telephone
And run off to some place you can’t be found

Everybody needs a friend
Who will love you in the end
Can you be somebody they can trust?

Change your mind and change your life
Find yourself a pretty wife
And be a man
Until you turn to dust

You’re the creation,
You’re the reason
You’re the rising sun and the colors in my mind

You’re the changing of the seasons
You’re the growing old and the passing of the time

You live
You learn
You laugh
You cry
And you can never get enough

You drink
You dance
You fight
You die
And maybe you believe in love,

(Maybe you believe in love)

You’re the creation,
You’re the reason
You’re the rising sun and the colors in my mind

You’re the changing of the seasons
You’re the growing old and the passing of the time

You live
You learn
You laugh
You cry
And you can never get enough

You drink
You dance
You fight
You die
And maybe you believe in love,

(Maybe you believe in love)
Maybe you believe in love,
(Maybe you believe in love)

This is the title track of The Pierces' fifth album. Asked by The Sun why they called the album 'Creation,' Allison Pierce replied: "It's a beautiful positive word that has many different meanings."

"We thought it was an empowering title," she continued; "it could refer to the record, which is our new creation, or a recreation of this band through these songs. It just felt so right. As soon as the title was suggested to us."

Man On the Moon Lyrics

Man On the Moon Song Chart

This was inspired by the late comedian Andy Kaufman. When he was a teenager, R.E.M. lead singer Michael Stipe saw Kaufman on Saturday Night Live, and has cited him as a huge influence ever since. See a photo and learn more about Andy Kaufman in Song Images .

Things mentioned in this song: Mott the Hoople, Life, Monopoly, Twister, Risk, checkers, chess, twenty-one, wrestler Fred Blassie, Elvis Presley, Moses, Sir Isaac Newton, and Charles Darwin.

Kaufman was known for his Elvis-impersonations, which he once performed on Saturday Night Live. Stipe tries one of his own on the line, "Hey, baby are we losing touch?"

This was used as the title for a 1999 movie about Andy Kaufman, starring Jim Carrey. R.E.M. did the soundtrack, which included this.

Andy Kaufman was never married. He met his long time girlfriend Lynn at a restaurant while shooting a short independent film. The movie told a different story of how they met. (thanks, Jessy - Pittsfield, MA)

The lyric, "Mr. Fred Blassie and the breakfast mess" refers to Kaufman's movie My Breakfast With Blassie. This was the movie that Kaufman was filming when he met his girlfriend. (thanks, Patrick - Tallapoosa, GA)

On an edition of the British TV show Top Of The Pops 2, Michael Stipe claimed that when writing this song, it was a tribute to Kurt Cobain's lyrics and writing, and that the repeated "yeah yeah yeah yeah" at the end of most lines is actually his attempt at putting more "yeahs" in a song than Cobain did. Stipe claimed Cobain was the master at making them fit, and he wanted to out-do him. (thanks, Liam - London, England)

R.E.M. performed this with Eddie Vedder when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.

After R.E.M. called it quits in 2011, Michael Stipe said that this would be the song he would most miss performing, particularly "watching the effect of that opening bass line on a sea of people at the end of a show," he told Rolling Stone. "That is an easy song to sing. It's hard to sing a bad note in it," he added.

In the liner notes for Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011, Peter Buck recalled how the music for this song came together: "'Man on the Moon' was something that Bill [Berry] had this one chord change that he came in with, which was C to D like the verse of the song, and he said, 'I don't know what to do with that.' I used to finish some of Bill's things ... he would come up with the riffs, but I would be the finish guy for that. I sat down and came up with the chorus, the bridges, and so forth. I remember we showed it to Mike and Michael when they came in later; definitely we had the song finished. I think Bill played bass and I played guitar; we kept going around with it. I think we might have played some mandolin on it in the rehearsal studio."

Peter Care directed the music video on location near the Antelope Valley area of California. Stipe, wearing a cowboy hat, hitches a ride with Bill Berry to a truck stop. Once there, they meet Care tending bar while Mike Mills plays pool, and the cast of customers joins in singing the song's chorus. The late Andy Kaufman even makes an appearance on the truck stop's television set as the video ends.

Flesh and Bone Lyrics

New love is not best love
Pull me down and rough me up
I'll fall with my arms up
With my eyes open
I won't give it up

Don't speak now it breaks the spell
You're a good one baby, I can tell

All this time I was running blindly
I wanna see you on the other side
So come and find me
Rest your head
You can lay beside me
You'll never have another lonely night
As far as I see

Flesh and Bone
Perfect soul

Time flies and you grow cold
Where's the feeling burning red and gold
Bring back the swirling head
The weightless body that you thought was dead

I'm not giving up on this
Lips reminding me of our first kiss

All this time I was running blindly
I wanna see you on the side
So come and find me
Rest your head
You can lay beside me
You'll never have another lonely night
As far as I see

Flesh and bone
Perfect soul

All this time I was running blindly
I wanna see you on the other side
So come and find me
Rest your head
You can lay beside me
You'll never have another lonely night
As far as I see

All this time I was running blindly
I wanna see you on the other side
So come and find me
Rest your head
You can lay beside me
You'll never have another lonely night

This song reflects Catherine Pierce's contentment after getting engaged to the duo's bass player and musical director Christian "Leggy" Langdon. "It feels so peaceful to sing it," she told The Guardian. "It's about my fiancé. It's just about loving each other really purely."

"A lot of the songs (for Creation) I wrote were about things going well," she added. "Which was weird for me. Before it was always like: 'Why is this not going well?' But I really enjoyed writing happy songs."

Bang and Blame Song Chart

This is a song about domestic violence. It was written before the O.J. Simpson trial, but many people interpreted it to be about that because of the timing.

Lynda Stipe, sister of lead singer Michael Stipe, sang background vocals. She has been in bands like Oh-OK and Hetch Hetchy, but hasn't enjoyed the commercial success of her brother.

On the album, this precedes one of R.E.M.'s characteristic brief instrumental interludes.

Rain Phoenix also provided backing vocals for this song. The Monster album was dedicated to her late brother, actor River Phoenix, who died from drug-induced heart failure the year before, at age 23. She would later appear in the band's video for "At My Most Beautiful."

Can't Get You Out Of My Head Song Chart

This was Minogue's first hit in the US since 1988, when her cover of "The Locomotion" hit #3. She has been very successful in England and her home country of Australia, but didn't attract nearly as much attention in America.

This is known as "The La La Song," because the chorus is Kylie singing "La La La, La La La La La" over and over.

Minogue is an actress and sex-symbol. She dated INXS singer Michael Hutchence, has appeared in Australian Soap Operas, and she played the Green Fairy in the movie Moulin Rouge shortly before this was released.

In England, this sold over a million copies and was in the Top 40 for 5 months.

This was written by Cathy Dennis and former Mud guitarist Rob Davis. Dennis had a few hits as a solo artist in the early '90s, including "Just Another Dream" and "Too Many Walls."

Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis originally wrote this for S Club 7, after their manager Simon Fuller asked the duo to come up with a song for the British pop group. After Fuller heard the demo, he felt it wasn't right for S Club 7 and rejected it. It was then offered to Sophie Ellis-Bextor, but she turned it down. Davis then met with Minogue's A&R executive Jamie Nelson who, after hearing the demo cassette of the song, booked it for Minogue to record.

At the 2002 Brit Awards, Kylie performed a version of this to the beat of "Blue Monday" by New Order. This remix was released as the B-side of her 2002 hit "Love At First Sight."

This song's first week on the UK charts was Kylie's personal 262nd week on charts, making her the most successful chart act not from the US or UK. This is her biggest seller in the UK, selling 1,037,235 copies. It was the biggest single and the most played song of 2001 there (it was aired 45,577 times on UK radio).

The song was accompanied by a state-of-the-art video. The video director Dawn Shadforth had Kylie dressed in clothes and driving a car in a future from the '60s perspective utopia style.

This was the most-played tune of the 2000s in the UK, according to PRS for Music, which collects royalties on behalf of songwriters and composers. The track received the most airplay and live covers in the first decade of the 21st century whilst Britney Spears' single "Toxic" was the second most played song. The same songwriter, Cathy Dennis, penned both tunes.

Charlotte Grey and Spooks actor Rupert Penry-Jones was dating Kylie when she recorded this song. He gave the Daily Mail a clue why their relationship didn't last. "I wasn't really into her music," he recalled. "And, once, I stupidly said to her when she played me 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head,' 'Yeah, it's good. But I'd rather hear you do some sort of rock, acoustic thing.' I was in the studio when she was recording it. And she got very annoyed with me. And then - obviously - it turned into this huge hit."

Somebody There Lyrics

When I was a young boy
And time was passing by
Real slow
And all around was wonder
And all around the great unknown
With eyes that slowly opened
I set about the wisdom for it to know
And living out of language
Before one word I spoke
I heard the call

There is Somebody There I know
There is somebody there I know it so
There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so

Now high upon the mountain
Where green has turned to golden
Shine on so
Below the world's unfolding
Unraveled and exploding, it was always so
I'm rolling and I'm tumbling
Through all your fields of plenty, here I go
Come walk a mile beside me
Come love me and come guide me
Hear the call

There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so
There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know

The road calls to my heart
And love will warm my blood
The sun will shine down evermore
And wine is in the cup

'Cause there is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so
There is somebody there I know
There is somebody there I know it so

Somebody There Song Chart

This song finds Plant singing about removing the tough exterior he'd developed as he became successful in the music business. "As adults we have to put our shoulders back, but when I was a kid I saw everything as being absolutely beautiful – there was nothing but wonderment," he explained to The Independent. "In the early part of my time in Zeppelin I wrote naively, but I loved all that mystery of the dark past and the Queen of Light. Unfortunately, I had it taken away from me bit by bit."
