Leave It Lyrics

I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make real

One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Downtown they're giving away
But she never came back

No phone can take your place
Do you know what I mean
We have the same intrigue
As a court of kings

Ah Leave It, ah leave it
Dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit
Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot

Two down there you go
McArthur Park in the driving snow
Uptown they're digging it out
Better lay your claim

Get home you're not alone
You just broke out of the danger zone
Be there to show your face
On another dreamy day

Ah leave it, ah leave it
Dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, dit
Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye bad
Leave it
Hello, hello, heaven

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye bad
Leave it
Hello, hello, heaven

I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make real

Ah leave it, ah leave it

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye bad
Leave it
Hello, hello, heaven

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye bad
Leave it
Hello, hello, heaven

Leave It Song Chart

This was the followup to Yes' #1 smash, "Owner of a Lonely Heart." 90125 was a different sound for Yes, as they moved away from prog rock and toward pop - very successfully. Once the band (and their record company) got a taste for hit singles, they tried to make more, which frustrated lead singer Jon Anderson. "By the time we got to Big Generator (1987 album) I was ready to leave because nobody was happy," he told us. "We were scrambling to try to make a hit record, and the record company, the management, that's all they talked about. They'd play records and say, 'This is a hit record, make something like this.'" (Here's our full Jon Anderson interview .)

18 different videos of this song (directed by Godley and Creme) were presented to MTV as part of a contest. When the deadline for the entries passed, MTV showed "Version #19."

In the book MTV Ruled the World - The Early Years of Music Video, Yes lead singer Jon Anderson talks about the excitement of filming the video of "Leave It" for MTV: "A totally surreal sort of video, which I loved. By then, we were number one around the world, so we were immensely famous for ten minutes. That was it. It was, 'Oh, we're going to be upside-down... that's cool! Let's do 17 versions. Oh great, that's amazing!' So there were actually 17 different versions of this video, which is perfect. Anything more abstract really reaches me, because it's something that I'll remember, where sometimes you do a video, and you think, 'Oh, that looks OK,' and ten minutes later, you don't care. But something that's abstract, you can look at it now and think 'That's a damn good video,' because it is different."

Promo copies of the 45 single contained a version with the group singing a capella.

This is one of the few Yes hits lead singer Jon Anderson had no part in writing. It was written by Trevor Rabin, Chris Squire and Trevor Horn, who recorded it with a fourth band member, Alan White, before Anderson rejoined the band. Anderson left the band in 1980, recording as a solo artist and as half of Jon and Vangelis before returning for the 90125 album.

According to Trevor Rabin, the prominent group vocals in this song came about after he and Chris Squire struggled to get a drum sound. When they ran out of ideas for the drums, they decided to work on the vocals, putting those on before the drums. As a result, the voices became the focal point of the song, although it took the band weeks to get them recorded and mixed in the song to their satisfaction.

Maidenhead Lyrics

Maidenhead Song Chart

Maidenhead is a town that lies just south of the River Thames, 25 miles from London. Its riverside location has drawn many celebrities to live there. So why did Detroit punk band Protomartyr record a song about the English place?

Vocalist Joe Casey told NME the track was inspired by writer Patrick Hamilton's book Hangover Square about a London-based drunk who wishes he could live in Maidenhead but after finally getting there he finds it to be as depressing as everywhere else he's ever been. He explained: "I like the way he describes the periods of dead moods this guy has, and I kind of latched onto that in a good way. I think in Detroit a lot of people think, 'If I didn't live in Detroit my whole life would be so much better', and after traveling around a little bit I can see that no matter where I am I'm still the same guy – so there's no Maidenhead out there for me."

Shout Bamalama Lyrics

Shout Bamalama

He's down in Alabama
Shoutin' bamalama
Way down in Louisiana
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down

Lord have mercy on my soul
How many chickens have I stole
One last night and the night before
I'm going back and tryin' to get ten, eleven more
Startin' to get 'em and I

I love a chicken, baby
Shoutin' bamalama
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down

Nine feet, ten feet we're goin' for the build
Nine feet left on a ten feet of hill
Ten feet turn around a nine feet fence
His teeth fell out, but his tongue stayed in
It's gettin' said so

He got the chicken, baby
Shoutin' bamalama
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down

Leo demarket rode a line one day
Bad little fella comin' down the way
We were talkin' 'bout the family, its a cryin' shame
He tell ya, mother is workin' on the chain gang
She busts his britches now
She's good at workin' hard

Shoutin' bamalama
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down

The preacher and the deacon were prayin' one day
Along come a bear comin' down that way
The preacher told the deacon to say a prayer
He said, Lord, a prayer won't kill this bear
I gotta make it, baby
Shout bamalama
I gotta run for it
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down

Shout Bamalama Song Chart

This was one of the first songs Redding recorded. It's a Little Richard-style shouter that was released on 45 by Bethlehem Records in 1961. King records re-released the single after Redding became a household name.

Redding wrote this song. In addition to his talents as a singer, he was also a very prolific songwriter, and some of his compositions became hits for other artists, including "Respect," which scored for Aretha Franklin.

In 2001, a group called the Detroit Cobras recorded this on an album of Motown covers.

The song was memorably featured in John Hughes' 1986 teen movie Pretty in Pink. In the movie, the character Duckie lip-synchs the song, referring to it as one his mother taught him.

You've Got It Wrong Song Chart

Written by the duo, this was inspired by a heartbreaking situation that Secret Sister Laura Rogers went through. "It was very simple, and we wrote it in a couple of hours," she told Billboard magazine. "It's in the vein of a more traditional country sound – more so than the rest of the record. We tried to get out of that box a little with the other songs, but that's one of the reasons I like that one so much is that it's in a familiar song territory for us."

This wasn't included on the standard edition of Put Your Needle Down, but does feature on the extended Cracker Barrell version of the disc. "We thought they were just going to release the album as is, but they said 'We would actually like to put some additional tracks on it,'" Laura Rogers explained. "That was great, because we got to go back to the tracks we had recorded for the second record. It was nice to have an avenue to release those songs that we were so proud of."

Over Lyrics

[Chorus]
Can't believe that it's Over baby
But every bruse on my heart you gave me
See we tried but we fight then we cried now it's over babe, it's over babe.

When I met you I knew you would be the one,
'Cause looking at you made me feel kind of crazy,
Now what you asked I almost did it automatically
But it was nothing compared to the joy you gave me.

Although I know that what we had it wasn't perfect babe,
You fooled around, but see back then it didn't phase me
I thought by staying, trying to change you would be worth it babe,
But now I see that trying to change you only changed me.
All these tears,and all of your lies
All these years and now we're saying goodbye, it's over babe.

[Chorus: x2]

Now I'm thinking that I never should have dealt with you,
All this screaming and this yelling
That we go through raining late at night I'm sitting waiting up for you
Just to tell you how I hate who you turned into,
See ain't no way I'm gonna sit and take this shit from you,
I'm never playing another day of being your fool,
I wasted all my time on something that just wasn't true,
I should have known I could never ever change you.
All these tears, and all of your lies,
All these years and now we're saying goodbye it's over babe.

[Chorus: x2]

I'll never forget what you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving leaving baby,
I'll never forget
What you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving leaving baby.
Whenever you see me don't even speak,
I'll never forget what you did to me.
Whenever you see me don't even speak, I'll never forget what you did to me.

[Chorus: x4]

I'll never forget what you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving, leaving baby.
I'll never forget
What you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving, leaving baby.

When she's mad at her boyfriend, Ashanti claims to roll down her car windows and blast this song.

She says the recording session for this entire album was very emotional, because everyone involved in the record, not just her, was going through relationship problems. That emotion makes this song very personal for her.

As of the release of this song, she has been through two serious romantic relationships. Both are now over.

Everybody Else Can Kiss My Ass Lyrics

Something's wrong man when the boss man makes you beg
For your own paycheck,
With his sweaty chest and his cigarette breath,
Breathing right down your neck.
Another fat face in the rat race, keeps feeding me do's and don't's,
Well it's the weekend so take your clock, stick it in and break if off,
I got plans of my own.

Tonight there's beer that needs drinking, Merle Haggard that needs singing
A couple of boys that need to go ahead and fight, that's right!
Beer cans that need stacking, pool balls that need racking,
That's the only quota I'm meeting tonight.
So, if you're with me raise your glass, here's to the working class
Everybody else can just kiss my ass.

Uncle Sam says pay your taxes, neighbors say mow your grass,
Signs here and there, tell me when and where I can
Smoke my damn cigarettes.
So, if you think you need another piece of me,
Well hunker down and pucker up,
Put your rosy red lips on the lower hips, go on and get you some.

Tonight's there's beer that needs drinking,
Merle Haggard that needs singing
A couple of boys that need to go ahead and fight, that's right!
Beer cans that need stacking, pool balls that need racking,
That's the only quota I'm meeting tonight.
So, if you're with me raise your glass, here's to the working class
And everybody else can just kiss my ass.

So, if you're with me raise your glass, here's to the working class
Everybody else can just kiss my ass.

Everybody Else Can Kiss My Ass Song Chart

Sunny Sweeney wrote this sassy slice of honky tonk with Brett Beavers and Connie Harrington. She told The Boot about the tune: "We were joking, kind of, when we wrote it, and it's just become hilarious to play at shows. Whenever I did my radio tour, I was going around to these conference rooms in radio stations, and I would go in at eight o'clock, nine o'clock in the morning, and I would always take beer with me and be like, 'Hey, have a beer. Take a load off.'"

"And then I would sing that song, and I would have these radio people just screaming, 'Everybody else can just kiss my ass' in the middle of their conference rooms," Sweeney continued. "And it's like, 'Doesn't it feel good just to scream that in the middle of the conference room?' And they're kinda laughing and looking around to see if everyone else is excited, and then they're like, 'Yeah, it's really exciting!' [Laughs.]

"To me it's funny because it's a girl singing it, but it's also a complete let-everything-go-and-have-a-good-time," she concluded. "That's a lighthearted song, nothing too in-depth. You don't have to think about what you're hearing - you just hear it, and then it's like, 'Yeah, damn the man! Screw work tomorrow, I'm partying tonight!' It's just funny."

Geek Stink Breath Lyrics

I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth

I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line

I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

I'm on a mission
I've got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first

I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

This is about amphetamine and methamphetamine drug use. (thanks, Tom - New Hartford, CT)

This was the first single from Insomniac, which was Green Day's fourth album. Their first 2 were released on a small label and didn't sell well, but their third, Dookie, was one of the best-selling albums of 1993. This put high expectations on this album, which also sold well, but not as well as Dookie.

Like most Green Day songs, this was not sold as a single in the US, which helped sell more copies of the album. It earned the chart position because of radio play.

This song made it's debut months before the release of Insomniac. While still on the Dookie tour, the band made an appearance on Saturday Night Live. In addition to performing their current single "When I Come Around," they were told to perform either of their previous singles "Longview" or "Basket Case" for their second number. As a bit of rebellion against their management and the media, the band played a very crude version of this as their second song. It became Insomniac's first single when the album was released many months later. (thanks, George - Islip Terrace, NY)

PrizeFighter Lyrics

Here you are face to face, with you greatest test of faith
It lookin’ good but you wouldn’t run even if you could
'Cause you know whats on the line, it’s win or lose, do or die
Every swing’s coming fast and the punches knock you back

When you hit the ground, you find your wings
You go one more round when that bell rings
They say you’re done, but here you come
You’re a hammer hittin’, spittin’ fire, PrizeFighter
When you’re sweating from the fear, you look it the eye
Turn the sound of defeat into your battle cry
Stakes are down, you’re outta luck
Look at you, smiling with a shiner, standing higher
Prizefighter

When you see ‘em shake their heads, that’s when you start seein’ red
From your head down to your toes, you find your glory, strength and hope
Come on, come on, comeback kid show ‘em how you never quit
You’re gonna rise from the pain, like a hurricane

When you hit the ground, you find your wings
You go one more round when that bell rings
They say you’re done, but here you come
You’re a hammer hittin’, spittin’ fire, prizefighter
When you’re sweating from the fear, you look it the eye
Turn the sound of defeat into your battle cry
Stakes are down, you’re outta luck
Look at you, smiling with a shiner, standing higher
Prizefighter

When you’re sweating from the fear, you look it the eye
Turn the sound of defeat into your battle cry
Stakes are down, you’re outta luck
Look at you, smiling with a shiner, standing higher
Prizefighter

Yeah
Look at you standing tall (look at you standing tall)
And you still ain’t had enough (and you still ain’t had enough)

Look at you standing tall (look at you standing tall)
And you still ain’t had enough (and you still ain’t had enough)

PrizeFighter Song Chart

This uplifting song about not giving up is the lead single and titular track from Trisha Yearwood's twelfth studio album, PrizeFighter. It marked Yearwood's first single as the lead act in six years since releasing "They Call It Falling for a Reason" in 2008.

The song features guest vocals from Kelly Clarkson. It was Yearwood's second collaboration with Clarkson, the first being the American Idol alumna's version of "Silent Night," which she recorded for her 2013 Wrapped In Red album.

The pair are friends so it was natural for Yearwood to call up Clarkson when she realized that she needed help on the cut. "When I heard this song, it was a challenge enough for me to sing," she said, "and I thought 'It needs a harmony above.'"

The empowering ballad was written by Jessi Alexander, Sarah Buxton, and Ross Copperman, "I love how 'PrizeFighter' makes me feel… like even when the odds are against me, I can do anything," Yearwood said. "It's a message we all need to hear, and the track just plain rocks!"

Yearwood said regarding the song's meaning: "'PrizeFighter' describes for me the fight we all fight, whatever it is. It's the courage to get up every day and give it your best shot, no matter the odds.

For me, I learned that strength from my mama, Gwen. She went toe to toe with breast cancer, and though she lost her battle, she fought every step of the way with grace, dignity, humor, and love. She's my prizefighter.

Whatever your battle, whoever your prizefighter is, my hope is that you draw strength from this important message."

Doctor Who Theme Lyrics

Doctor Who Theme Song Chart

Surprisingly, this piece of music has never been given a proper name, but it was impossible when it was composed in 1963 for anyone to realize the cultural significance of either the music itself or of the programme for which it was written.

The theme was written by the Australian composer Ron Grainer and arranged by Delia Derbyshire. Her input is significant enough for her to warrant a credit as co-composer, but the music was credited to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which was founded in 1958 to produce music and sound effects for BBC radio and television programmes. Derbyshire joined the BBC in November 1960.

The first episode of Dr Who was broadcast November 23, 1963 on BBC1 (at that time BBC, there being no other non-commercial TV station in the UK); on November 23, 2013, a special 50^th anniversary programme The Day Of The Doctors was broadcast in 94 countries.

Although the theme music has remained the same throughout the long run of this cult TV series, it has been rearranged and heavily orchestrated, most significantly by Murray Gold, but the original - light on production - is generally considered the best, and when compared with the later more sophisticated music of Jean Michel Jarre and Gary Numan, it is clear it has stood the test of time.

Just A Dream Lyrics

Just A Dream Song Chart

This Broonzy composition has no connection with later songs recorded by Carrie Underwood or Nelly; it is also sometimes given an extended title "Just A Dream I Had On My Mind" after its opening.

According to a BBC documentary about Broonzy that was first screened in December 2013, the legendary bluesman wrote this song especially for the From Spirituals To Swing concerts of December 1938. Among other things, this dream sees him meeting the President at the White House, something that might have been considered extraordinary or even unthinkable for a black blues musician at that time.

What was not so unthinkable was the line in which he dreams about having ten children all looking like him because Broonzy was a notorious womanizer, though it was probably a combination of alcohol and tobacco rather than women that killed him twenty years later.
