Cynical Bastards Lyrics

Cynical Bastards Song Chart

Arkells love for Hamilton, Ontario is a well-known fact as the band often makes references to the city in their music. Arkells formed in Hamilton in 2006 when they met while attending university and took their name from the street where they held their band practices. Arkells debut album in 2008, Jackson Square, was named after a decaying shopping mall that is located in the heart of downtown Hamilton. On Arkells third album High Noon, they have not forgotten about the place, as they mention it on the third track "Cynical Bastards" when frontman Max Kerman sings, "Jackson Square dropouts avoid the police."

Max Kerman explained in our interview that "Cynical Bastards" takes on the people who disparage Hamilton (many times without having lived there), often referring to it as the "Armpit of Ontario." As Kerman points out, the people who live in great industrial cities are not to blame for the circumstances of those cities. "Cynical Bastards" hearkens back to that old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all."

Kerman adds that the song salutes everyone who is working hard in Hamilton to make it better, "Who are pouring love into the city to make it a great place for me to live, which I'm extremely appreciative."

Achy Breaky Heart Lyrics

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

But don't tell my heart
My Achy Breaky Heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

You can tell your mom I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not OK.
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

But don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Achy Breaky Heart Song Chart

Written by the country songwriter and performer Don Von Tress, this was a remake of a 1991 song by the country act The Marcy Brothers, titled "Don't Tell My Heart." That original version had the lyrics: "Don't tell my heart, my achy, breakin' heart..." (thanks, David - Long Beach, CA)

This song best represents the country music craze in the early '90s. As the audience for "Old Country" artists like Willie Nelson and George Strait waned, younger listeners turned to "New Country," which had slick production and pop melodies.

"Achy Breaky Heart" led the charge, crossing over to Top 40 radio and becoming a huge hit. Purists hated it and blamed Cyrus for desecrating country music, but it led the way for artists like Shania Twain and Faith Hill, who had massive pop success with country songs.

Born and raised in Flatwoods, Kentucky, Cyrus first worked as a car salesman there, and dreamed of being a professional baseball player. He made his singing debut in father's gospel group.

This song became the most popular and prominent of the United States line dancing craze of the early '90s. It spawned a dance called "The Achy Breaky," which became ubiquitous in country dance bars.

Thanks to this song, the album Some Gave All went to #1 for 17 weeks - a record for a debut artist. One artist that was held off the top spot by Billy Ray was Megadeth, whose Countdown to Extinction had to settle for #2. The group's rather impolitic leader Dave Mustaine was not pleased; he griped to The Onion A.V. Club: "All those fat f--kin' housewives in the Midwest, and this guy with this funny haircut, and that song, it just resonated with the American people and people bought into it, and there was no shaking it. His song was a novelty."

The song may have been a novelty, but it made the Some Gave All album the best seller of 1992.

Cyrus claims he was too bashful to get on the floor at high school dances. He clearly came out of his shell.

Cyrus was signed to Mercury Records in 1990 thanks to some help from a friend he'd made, Grand Ole Opry star Del Reeves.

Although he never came close to an "Achy" style hit again, Billy Ray Cyrus went on to a solid career with plenty of commercial success. His second album debuted at #3 and went platinum. When his singing career stalled, he turned to acting roles, including a part in the 2001 movie Mulholland Drive.

Billy Ray's daughter, Miley Cyrus, became a Disney Channel star with the show Hannah Montana, playing a girl who is secretly a pop star by night. Billy Ray had a role on the show, playing her manager.

While the show was running, Miley and Billy Ray released a duet called "Ready, Set, Don't Go," which went to #37 US, giving Billy Ray his first Top 40 since "Achy Breaky." Miley would soon become a media sensation and by far the most famous Cyrus.

This was the first million-selling country single since "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in 1983.

Weird Al Yankovic did a spoof of this called "Achy Breaky Song," in which he begs the DJ not to play "that Achy Breaky song." Al offers alternatives like Yoko Ono, Vanilla Ice and Zamfir.

In Billy Ray Cyrus' 2006 song "I Want My Mullet Back," the riff to this song is sampled in the guitar solo. (thanks, Vincent - Fayetteville, AR)

A rap reworking of the song by Buck 22 titled "Achy Breaky 2" entered the Hot 100 in 2014. Cyrus contributed vocals to this new version as well and also appeared in the video.

Leather Jacket Lyrics

Leather Jacket Song Chart

"Leather Jacket" was the most difficult song for Arkells to write for their third album, High Noon. Lead singer and guitarist, Max Kerman , explained in our interview that the band knew they had something there, but the song was just not clicking. It finally came together in the studio when they made a little pivot in the chorus.

"Leather Jacket" was inspired by the song "When No One's Watching" by the lead singer of The Hold Steady, Craig Finn. Max Kerman is a huge fan of the band and thinks that Finn has an incredible way of writing about the nightlife of young people in the city. Kerman wanted a song like that on High Noon, so "Leather Jacket" was his attempt at it.

Explaining the meaning of the tune, he told us: "The idea is that if you have a friend calling you at two in the morning from a payphone, the chances are that s--t isn't going well that day or just in general."

"It's about understanding where people are coming from and just being a supportive person," Kerman added. "I've been in that situation myself, too. I've been there before and I've had friends come bail me out."

Max Kerman revealed to the Huffington Post Canada the television show that inspired a couple of the lyrics in the song. "The 'southern accent' lyric is somewhat unrelated: a few years ago I watched Friday Night Lights while we were on tour, and ended up talking like Coach Taylor with fans after the shows. I don't think anyone really noticed," he said.

Heart and Soul Lyrics

Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me Heart and Soul
You never let me cross to the other side now
I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more
But I lost your love, heart and soul
The tear in my heart as you walk on by

I feel so low and your head is high
Everything you do convinces me more
Please, give me love, give me heart and soul
Looking to the day when I saw your face
I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race
You move in a way that I've known before
Now I want your love, heart and soul

Leaving you ain't easy now
Loving you's the harder part
You never want me for myself
I've needed you right from the very start
Oh won't you even try to

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul

Walking on the water, walking on the air
That was the heart of the love we shared
Do you keep secret left untold
Can't give love, heart or soul
I used to have a lover with a Midas touch
I turned to gold but he turned to dust
Left me for another, I turned to stone
Now I want your love, heart and soul

Living in a fantasy
There's never any room to breathe
Hoping every waking hour
You gonna turn around and say that we can start
Oh won't you even try to

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul

Somehow, I lost my way
Looking to see something in your eyes
But love will never compromise
Now this is the politics of life, yeah

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit, little bit

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart now want your soul?

Heart and Soul Song Chart

This song, written by lead singer Carol Decker and bandmate Ron Rogers, was borne out of a happy accident when Rogers bought a new keyboard with a built-in sequencer but didn't know how to use it. Decker explained in a Kickin' It Old School interview: "He was just trying to get used to the gizmos in it and while messing around with the sequencer he started the 'bum bum buh buh bum bum bum' of the bass riff. T'PauI started to sing a melody over it, the wafty vocal and came up with 'more than an ocean keeps us apart.' The lyrics were about when I went on holiday with my parents and Ronnie couldn't come. I missed him so much, but then I morphed the story into a fictitious one of not being loved back (which I was). The rap was the idea of Andy Piercy, our then producer. He said the gaps needed filling, so I started these syncopated sort of nonsense noises. I then turned those noises into words which took about a week to get right."

This was T'Pau's first single. It the UK, it went nowhere when it was first released, but when it was re-released after being used in a commercial for Pepe jeans, it shot up the charts. In America, thanks to a video that was put in rotation on MTV, it went to #4 in August 1987. A month later, the song reached its peak chart position in the UK, also #4.

Don't read too much into this song's lyric. Carol Decker says, "'Heart And Soul' isn't about anything - it just goes moon/june/spoon."

Carol Decker's voice is layered on this song, with her melody lines ("More than an ocean...") coming in over her rap parts. This presents a challenge in live performances. In our interview with Decker , she told us how she handles it. "I rap the first two verses then cut to the melody for the verse before the chorus," she said. "No one really notices or minds as I cover the essential dynamics of the song. It works well. When I have several backing vocalists we can cover more parts, but the basic version still works."

The band was named after a Vulcan high priestess on Star Trek; Carol Decker was watching an episode when the character appeared, and when she suggested the name, the band went for it.

This was T'Pau's only hit in the US, putting them in the one-hit wonder category there. Their next single "China In Your Hand," was ignored in the States but ran wild in the UK, where it went to #1 for five weeks. At this point, the band gave up on America, and their second album wasn't even issued there. They continued their success in the UK, placing six more songs in the Top 40.

When in the US, Decker says she is often mistaken for Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. It must be the red hair and British accent.

The Bridge of Spies album sold over 4 million copies. In America, it was issued with the title T'Pau.

Lead singer Carol Decker was offered but declined the role of Don Johnson's wife on Miami Vice. The role went to Sheena Easton.

Decker told Kickin' It Old School she loves this song because, "It's unique still and has a killer chorus plus a universal message. We all want to be loved, don't we?"

Despite the single's success in the US, the country was not a great touring locale for the band. Decker lamented in a 1987 interview: "Most of the gigs we played in America were awful. Real toilets. We were there three months and even at the end, the biggest audience we were getting were less than a thousand."

Systematic Lyrics

Systematic Song Chart

The closing track on High Noon was one of the last songs written for the record and ended where the first song, "Fake Money," began. It discusses smart people in power who can make their ideas fit whatever situation that suits them best. The tune explains the need to call those people out when it causes inequality.

The song started out as a '70s groove reminiscent of the Rolling Stones song, "Miss You." Arkells frontman, Max Kerman , asked their keyboardist, Anthony Carone, to write a strings arrangement for the tune. Carone came up with something that sounded a lot like "Canned Heat" by Jamiroquai, so "Systematic" ended up being a melding of the '90s soul-pop and the '70s sound of The Rolling Stones.

Jupiter Crash Lyrics

She follows me down to the sound of the sea
Slips to the sand and stares up at me
"is this how it happens? is this how it feels?
Is this how a star falls?
Is this how a star falls?"

The night turns as I try to explain
Irresistible attraction and orbital plane
"or maybe it's more like a moth to a flame?"
She brushes my face with her smile
"forget about stars for a while"
As she melts

Meanwhile millions of miles away in space
The incoming comet brushes Jupiter's face
And disappears away with barely a trace

"was that it? was that the Jupiter show?
Kinda wasn't quite what I'd hoped for, you know"
Pulling away, she stands up slow
And round her the night turns
Round her the night turns

Yeah, that was it
That was the Jupiter Crash
Drawn too close and gone in a flash
Just a few bruises in the region of the splash

She left to the sound of the sea
She just drifted away from me
So much for gravity

Jupiter Crash Song Chart

This was inspired by the Shoemaker-Levy comet. When the comet was discovered in 1993, it had already brushed Jupiter and was broken into pieces that were caught in the planet's gravity. In July, 1994, the pieces of the comet crashed into Jupiter, providing some impressive images. It was a rare and spectacular event that got a lot of attention from anyone interested in astronomy.

In the song, the comet is used as a metaphor for an encounter with a woman. She shows up suddenly, leaves an impact, then disappears.

In a 1996 interview with MTV Europe, vocalist and lyricist Robert Smith discussed the meaning of the track as "About the comet crash a couple of years ago. As an analogy for a failed sexual encounter. And how you kind of build people up. Everyone expected the comet kind of hit Jupiter and Jupiter was gonna explode. Unless you have a pretty powerful telescope, you couldn't see anything at all. That sort of sense, there's a big build up and the next day, people were saying 'That was rubbish.' It wasn't rubbish, it was incredible. It wasn't what you expected. That was the analogy."

Ace Frehley's fiancee, Rachael Gordon, contributed the lyrics for both this song and "Immortal Pleasures." "I had this rhythm guitar track and I said, 'Honey, I need some lyrics for this,' he told Loudwire . "She's been writing poetry for years, and she came up with these great lyrics. We arranged it… went in the studio and tracked it - a painless process and a lot of fun."

Nothing is true

It used to be so easy, I never even tried
Yeah, it used to be so easy
But the last day of summer, never felt so cold
The last day of summer, never felt so old
Never felt so

All that I have
All that I hold
All that is wrong

All that I feel for or trust in or love
All that is gone

It used to be so easy, I never even tried
Yeah, it used to be so easy

The last day of summer, never felt so old
The last day of summer, never felt so cold
Never felt so

There Is No If Song Chart

In a 2000 interview with Pulse, Robert Smith said: "I think the only really depressing song on the album is 'There Is No If,' because in that one there really is no way out - everything goes wrong and then you die. I originally didn't want that song on the album, and I was loath to even sing it, but the others in the band really wanted it on there. I normally disregard the four-to-one votes, which are as meaningless in this band as they are in any dictatorship, but everyone who heard the song really liked it."

Lead singer Robert Smith was the only band member to play on this. He played all the instruments.

Smith didn't want this included on the Bloodflowers album, but gave in when the other four members of the band persisted. (thanks, Richard - Alva, OK)

The Cure retired this from live performances in 2002, perhaps due to Smith's dislike of the song.

The "if" of the title refers to the inevitability of death. In the song, Smith's lover frequently makes the apparent statement "if you die...so do I." This is, of course, paraphrasing the romantic clichè "I couldn't live without you." Smith's interprets the sentiment negatively, by emphasizing that they will indeed live without each other, and both they and their love will inevitably die.

Power to the People Song Chart

Basement Jaxx has a deep connection to this song, which represents their core beliefs. "That's a really empowering song about humanity and for singing our connectivity and our interdependency with other human beings," Felix Buxton of the duo said in our 2014 interview .

Basement Jaxx have worked with big-name singers like Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal and Kelis on their previous albums, but they deliberately avoided the familiar names for Junto. For this track, the Basement Jaxx pair of Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton enlisted a group of children who'd been hanging around in the car park near their studio to provide the vocals.

"The idea was to get back to the beginning of Basement Jaxx and just have everyone singing songs," Buxton told The Observer. "If music is real, not manipulated and manufactured, it needs to speak from a real place."

The album title, Junto, is the Spanish word for "together." It is pronounced "hoontoe."

Basement Jaxx released six new versions of the song on September 21, 2014 as part of International Peace Day, with proceeds going to charity. As part of a larger initiative, they made stems of the track available on the website powertothepeople.fm , where anyone can make a mix of the song. Artists and dancers were also invited to participate by contributing visual interpretations.

Niara Scarlett is the lead singer on this track, and is also credited as a co-writer. The UK singer has lent her voice to songs by Mel Blatt, Prophets Of Sound and many other acts.

You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins
You're so perfect you're so right as rain
You make me
Make me, make me, make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why Can't I Be You?

I'll run around in circles til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is simply angelicate
Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is suite delicious
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant

Why Can't I Be You? Song Chart

During live performances, The Cure often used this song to play around with and incorporate different songs into the performance. These other songs have included "The Lovecats," "Fly Me To The Moon," "Young At Heart," and "Out Of Touch," among others. (thanks, Richard - Alva, OK)

The video clip to this song cleverly included some risqué word play, turning "Can't" into "Cu-t." When the members of the band are symbolizing the words "Why Can't I Be You" as the letters Y _ I B U, by shaping their bodies into the shape of these letters, the word "Can't," which is the only word that could not be symbolized by a letter, was instead represented by a large mouth, or "Pair of lips" turned sideways (i.e. a vagina). Thus, 'Y c-nt I B U.' The original film clip is nowadays often replaced with the film clip of the remix to this song which doesn't include this part of the clip. (thanks, Anthony - Tokyo, Japan)

This was the lead single from the band's first and only double album. The record was their first to enter the Billboard Top 40.

In a 1987 interview with Les Inrockuptibles, songwriter Robert Smith said that the title "is not to be taken generally, on the contrary it comes from a particular situation; I was in the middle of a tense discussion and these people around the table were looking at me as if I was going to make some ground breaking revelations, and I thought to myself "good God, why can't I be elsewhere? Why isn't someone else in my place?" I would've traded with anyone; I would've preferred to be that guy leaning at the bar than myself."

Smith has also said that the song was written as a keepsake for a 1985 visit to his Peruvian sponsored child, Aurora.

Perfect Storm Lyrics

If she was a drink
She'd be a single-barrelled
Bourbon on ice
Smooth with a kick
A chill and a burn all
At the same time

She's Sunday drive meets
High speed chase
She ain't just a song
She's the whole mix tape
She's so complicated
That's the way God made her
Sunshine mixed with
A little hurricane

And she destroys me in that t-shirt
And I love her so much it hurts
I never meant to fall like this
She don't just rain she pours
That girl right there's
The Perfect Storm

I know how to make her laugh
Or blush, or mad at me
But that's OK there ain't no one
More beautiful angry

And she loves just as deep
As she goes when she's down
The highs match the lows
Can't have one without the other
And I love her just the way
God made her
Sunshine mixed with
A little hurricane

And she destroys me in that t-shirt
And I love her so much it hurts
I never meant to fall like this
But she don't just rain she pours
That girl right there's
The perfect storm

She's the girl of a lifetime
A guy like me spends his whole life
Looking for, that girl right there's
The perfect storm
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh

Perfect Storm Song Chart

This mid-tempo country rocker finds Paisley singing about a girl that he equates to a thunderstorm:

And I love her so much it hurts
I never meant to fall like this
But she don't just rain, she pours
That girl right there's the perfect storm

As Paisley sings the word "storm," his electric guitar rumbles like a clap of thunder. He told Rolling Stone Country that it was his intention to marry the riff with the song's lyrical content: "The 'Perfect Storm' guitar part sounds like thunder," he said. "It's got that crackle. Sometimes, the guitars and the lyrics come about at the same time."

Paisley added that the guitar should always be compatible with the song. "I'm not one of those guys who's got a lot of riffs lying around," he said. "You get into trouble when you start talking your eye off of the song. You can have this riff that you think sounds so cool, but to whom? Are you speaking the language your fans want you to speak? You've got to picture that person as they're hearing the song for the first time. You don't get many tries in country music to hook 'em for the first time."

The Jim Shea-directed video features Paisley singing the ballad during a hurricane-like storm whilst photos of women slowly fly past the screen. Several weeks previously Paisley had asked fans for photos of themselves or someone special in a T-shirt. "Thanks so much for submitting your photos for the video," he said. "I stood in the pouring rain and sang this song over and over in slow motion for you. I hope you love it. I'm really happy with it. I love the video."

Amongst those whose pictures were chosen were his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, whose photo appears in the clip. Paisley tweeted her at the time:

Congratulations @KimWilliamsPais Your dream has come true! You're in my music video! Don't scream

Last Dance Lyrics

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad
You remembered to see how we're ending our last
Dance together expectant too puctual but
Prettier than ever I really believed that this time
It's forever

But older than me now more constant more real
And the fur and the mouth and the innocence
Turned to hair and contentment that hangs in
Abasement a woman now standing where once
There was only a girl

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you
Remembered the walking through walls in the
Heart of December the blindness of happiness
Of falling down laughing and I really believed
That this time was forever

But Christmas falls late now flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall all
This in an instant before I can kiss you a woman
Now standing were once there was only a girl

I'm so glad that you came I'm so glad you
Remembered to see how we're ending our last
Dance together reluctantly cautiously but
Prettier than ever I really believed that this time
It's forever

But Christmas falls late now flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall and
Even if we drink I don't think we would kiss in
The way that we did when the woman was only a
Girl

This features a hidden lyric from another Cure track. The lyric, not included in the official lyrics, comes from the 1982 song "Cold," which originally appeared on the album Pornography. Lead singer Robert Smith whispers "your name like ice into my heart" before the last verse. (thanks, Richard - Alva, OK)

In a 1989 interview with Music Box TV, vocalist Robert Smith said the song was about "someone that you meet and you haven't seen for a long time. And you used to have very strong feelings for and you don't anymore, you suddenly realize... It's a horrible sensation."

The song was not included on original vinyl pressings of Disintergration and originally was included as a bonus track.
