Every Beat of My Heart Lyrics

Every Beat of My Heart
Rod Stewart

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

Every Beat of My Heart Song Chart

This song was originally recorded by Johnny Otis in 1952. Knight recorded it for local label Huntom Records, then had singles on 2 other labels sink without a trace, before having their fortunes change in a most unusual way. With Dave "Baby" Cortez, who had a #1 hit with "The Happy Organ" in 1959 playing on organ, they re-recorded this for Fury Records. As the new version, credited to "Gladys Knight & The Pips," started climbing the charts, Vee Jay Records bought the original from Huntom and issued it credited to "Pips." Eventually, the original Vee Jay single hit #6 as the newer Fury single stalled at #45.

Thumbscrews Lyrics

Thumbscrews Song Chart

A thumbscrew is a torture device. The Jesus Lizard frontman David Yow wrote this song about his landlord, who was giving him problems. In the song, Yow envisions torturing this guy:

We will get the thumbscrews
And put him in his place
Leave a great big hole
Where he used to keep his face

In our interview with Yow , he explained that the landlord started out "a really, really swell guy," but he quickly turned on him. "He went from being kind of a friend to an enemy," Yow said. "That song and 'Good Riddance,' which was also on the same record, were written about that guy."

You've Got to Hide Your Love Away Lyrics

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
How could I even try
I can never win

Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way

Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

Cannibal Lyrics

Cannibal Song Chart

Scratch Acid lead singer David Yow wrote this song when he was experiencing an acute form of heartache. It was so bad, he considered eating him self to cure the condition. "My girlfriend, Carla, who was just a sweet, wonderful, beautiful girl, had dumped me," he told us. "A few of the songs on that first Scratch Acid record are kind of about her and 'Cannibal' is one of them. I mean, after she dumped me, I just felt sick for so long. I had headaches, I had stomachaches. My heart was broken." (here's the full David Yow interview .)

This was the first track on the first Scratch Acid album. The group never had much commercial success, but was a favorite of Kurt Cobain and led to the band The Jesus Lizard, which was formed by two of its members, David Yow and David Sims.

The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The Game Of Love, love, la la la la la love

It started long ago in the Garden of Eden
When Adam said to Eve, baby, you're for me
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The game of love, love, la la la la la love

Come on baby 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love

The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The game of love, love, la la la la la love

The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play
The game of love, love, la la la la la love

Come on baby 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love

The game of love baby, the game of la la la la love

Game Of Love Song Chart

This was written by Clint Ballard Jr., who also wrote The Hollies hit "I'm Alive" and Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good."

Group leader Glyn Ellis was given a contract in 1963 on the condition that he change his name to that of the label, Fontana Records, thus Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. They were a British Invasion group, and this was their first hit in the US. When a US tour was scheduled, the group was initially denied visas until they could demonstrate that they recorded this.

Fontana left the group for a solo career in 1966. Their first hit as the Mindbenders was the #2 "A Groovy Kind Of Love." The Mindbenders evolved into Hot Legs (a one-hit wonder with "Neanderthal Man"), which in turn became 10cc ("The Things We Do for Love," among others). (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 2)

I Can't Stop Drinking About You Lyrics

No one's gonna love you like I do
No one's gonna care like I do
And I can feel it in the way that you breathe
I know you dream of her while you sleep next to me

I Can't Stop Drinking About You
I gotta numb the pain
I can't stop drinking about you
Without you I ain't the same
So pour a shot in my glass and I'll forget forever! (Wow oh)
So pour a shot in my glass 'cause it makes everything better! (Wow oh)

Darlin' tell me what more can I do?
Don't you know that I was meant for you?
You say I feel like heaven on earth,
But you'd never know what heaven was if it wasn't for her

I can't stop drinking about you
I gotta numb the pain
I can't stop drinking about you
Without you I ain't the same
So pour a shot in my glass and I'll forget forever! (Wow oh)
So pour a shot in my glass 'cause it makes everything better! (Wow oh)

I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you)
I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you) (Without you I ain't the same)

No one's gonna love you like I do (I do, do, do, do, do, do)

I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you)
I can't stop drinking about you (Drinking about you) (Without you I ain't the same)

I Can't Stop Drinking About You Song Chart

Staten Island native Bebe Rexha's first exposure in the music business came when she was chosen to be the frontwoman for Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz's project, Black Cards.

Rexha went on to find success in as a songwriter, most notably in 2013 co-penning Eminem and Rihanna's chart-topper "The Monster." That same year she featured with EDM group Cash Cash on their single "Take Me Home," which peaked at #57 on the Billboard Hot 100. This is the first single from her debut album.

The song came to Rexha while she was drowning her sorrows after a breakup with some shots at Johnny Utah's country bar in New York. "I just wrote it about a guy who didn't know if he wanted to be with me or his ex, so he told me that he couldn't be with me because he didn't want to make a mistake," the New York native explained to MTV News. "So he treated me like an option, so I left him like a choice."

"He actually called me to back pedal and to say he was sorry for all of the things he said to me and then I just told him to eff himself and that I was drinking about him," Rexha added. "I went back into the bar and then I was like, 'oh, that's a really good song title.' So I texted it to myself and then 'I Can't Stop Drinking About You' came to life."

The music video draws inspiration from Angelina Jolie's sociopath character in Girl, Interrupted and Kirsten Dunst's portrait of a severely depressed woman in Melancholia.

Rexha recalled to MTV News. "It has a lot of slow-motion in it, some underwater scenes that took a day to do and I like swallowed a whole bunch of water, and the chlorine burned my nose and they told me to shut up and go back into the pool and my lashes were coming off and the makeup artist was, like, yelling at me like, 'gosh, your lashes are falling off.'"

Lucille Lyrics

Lucille, you won't do your sister's will?
Oh, Lucille, you won't do your sister's will?
You ran off and married, but I love you still

Lucille, please, come back where you belong
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone, whoa

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone

Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
I played for it, baby, and gave you such a wonderful start

Lucille Song Chart

This song began as a ballad Richard wrote called "Directly From My Heart to You," which he recorded as a member of The Johnny Otis band in 1955. "Directly From My Heart to You" was released by Peacock Records as a B-side, and when Little Richard recorded for Specialty Records in September, 1955, he tried recording the song for his first album. It didn't make the cut, but Richard's career took off, and when he needed another single in 1957, he revived the song, but gave it the sound that made him a star, speeding up the tempo considerably.

The lyrics were completely rewritten, and Richard went to a common theme for his hits: a girl's name. If Lucille was based on a real woman who broke Richard's heart, he isn't saying - he told Rolling Stone in 1970: "I don't know what inspired me to write it, it may have been the rhythm." Certainly, the lyrics serve the rhythm, with the nonsensical first line "Lucille, won't you do your sister's will" scanning to the beat.

If there was a real Lucille, it would probably be either Richard's (female) lover Lee Angel, or his mentor Steve Reeder Jr., who performed under the name Esquerita. Little Richard hasn't kept a lot of secrets, so it's more likely that he did make up Lucille. His next single was also named after a girl: "Jenny, Jenny."

In a 1999 interview with Mojo magazine, Richard explained: "The effects and rhythms you hear on my songs, I got 'em from the trains that passed by my house. Like 'Lucille' came from a train – Dadas-dada-dada-dada, I got that from the train."

This was released at a time when Richard was hot - he sold 32 million records in 1956 and 1957. His songs were also very successful for other artists, who sometimes outsold him with his own songs. "Lucille" was covered by The Everly Brothers, who matched Richard's #21 peak position with their version in 1960. Waylon Jennings had a #1 Country hit when he recorded this on his 1983 album It's Only Rock and Roll, and other artists to cover the song include Van Halen, Deep Purple, Johnny Winter, Bill Haley & His Comets, Otis Redding, AC/DC and The Hollies. (thanks, Julian - Oakland, AR)

Other popular Lucille's in music: B.B. King's guitar is named Lucille, and Kenny Rogers had a hit with different song with the same title in 1977 - his is the one that goes, "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille..."

Party Like You Lyrics

You got me feeling like a Saturday night
You got me buzzing like a Miller Lite sign
No last call inside, hell it's gonna be a wild ride
And you, know what you're doing when you do
That lipstick dance on the cigarette
And that moonlight and moonshine
Hell I just want to cross the line with you
(That's right)

You got me rocking, rolling, like New Orleans
Cut off booze like damn you know it
Little bit a drink, little wink wink
Tell me what you think I've been looking for a Party Like You
You get dancing, hearts get stolen
I love the way the night is going
Little bit a drink, little wink wink
Tell me what you think
I've been looking for a party like you

All them dudes
Been looking at me wondering what I have to do
To wind up on this bar stool next to you
Shooting "quila" with a hottie
They just over there shooting pool
Oh and I, yeah I'm a damn lucky guy I
I must have done something along the way that's right
Good Lord has blessed me with a hell of an angel tonight

You got me rocking, rolling, like New Orleans
Cut off booze like damn you know it
Little bit a drink, little wink wink
Tell me what you think I've been looking for a party like you
You get dancing, hearts get stolen
Love the way the night is going
Little bit a drink, little wink wink
Tell me what you think
I've been looking for a party like you

Yeah party like you
I said a party like you girl

You got me rocking, rolling, like New Orleans
Cut off booze like damn you know it
You get dancing, and hearts get stolen
I love the way the night is going
Little bit a drink, little wink wink
Tell me what you think
I've been looking for a party like you

Yeah, I said a party like you
Oh I said party like you girl
A party like you

Party Like You Song Chart

Frontman Jaren Johnston told Rolling Stone Country that he penned this song with the idea of the "dream girl" in mind. "Every guy when they go out, whether they're a douchebag or a normal good guy, they want to meet that girl," he said. "They think they're going to meet that girl."

Directed by Brian Lazzaro (Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise"), the song's music video was filmed in East Nashville and features The Cadillac Three performing the song while observing a car thief hit on the ladies. "He's the guy that comes and does too much partying and tries to take the girls," said Johnston, "but we end up with the girls."

The country trio had a fun time filming the clip, "We basically just drank beer all day long and they filmed it. It was like a day in the life of the Cadillac Three,"said Johnston. "[The video has] all of those elements of debauchery from a crazy night, all these little subplots that don't make sense … And us filming it where I grew up running around as a kid was pretty perfect."

Jaren Johnston has said the song was inspired by Ram Jam's rock version of the traditional tune "Black Betty."

Well you made me love you woman,
Now your man has come.

And I won't be back till Fall,
Just might find me a good girl
Might not be comin' back at all.

Well now see, C. C. Rider,

Well now see, C. C. Rider,
See now the moon is shining bright,
Just might find me that good girl
And everything would be alright.

C.C. Rider Song Chart

This is a Blues standard first recorded by Ma Rainey, whose version hit #12 in 1925 as "See See Rider Blues." The "C.C. Rider," also known as "See See Rider" or "Easy Rider," is a Blues cliché for the sexual partner, although originally it referred to the guitar hung on the back of the traveling bluesman. (thanks, Patrick - Port Arthur, TX)

Willis' version started "The Stroll" dance craze. The Diamonds (of "Little Darlin'" fame) capitalized by writing and releasing "The Stroll," which peaked at #4 as it sold over one million copies.

In 1965, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels incorporated "C.C. Rider" into a medley of songs with Little Richard's "Jenny Jenny." This version peaked at #10 in the US in early January, 1966.

Lacuna is largely based on memories of Brixton, where Childhood co-founders Ben Romans-Hopcraft and Leo Dobsen both grew up. This song is a biting critique of the South London district. "Most of the record is about growing up in South London," Romans-Hopcraft told NME. "It's about me thinking that everything's dandy [here], but [realising] it's actually not and coming to terms with that."

A Lover's Question Lyrics

Does she love me, with all her heart
Should I worry, when we're apart
It's A Lover's Question, I'd like to know.

Does she need me, as she pretends
Is this a game, well then will I win
It's a lover's question, I'd like to know

I'd like to know when she's not with me
If she's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing
Does she feel just what I feel,
And how am I to know it's really real.

Oh, tell me where, the answer lies
Is it in her kiss or in her eyes
It's a lover's question I'd like to know.

I'd like to know when she's not with me
If she's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing
Does she feel just what I feel,
And how am I to know it's really real.

Oh, tell me where, the answer lies
Is it in her kiss or in her eyes
It's a lover's question I'd like to know.

A Lover's Question Song Chart

This was McPhatter's first Top 10 hit after leaving the Drifters. He wrote the song with Brook Benton, who had his first of 24 US Top 40 hits in 1959 with "It's Just A Matter Of Time." Benton sang the demo version of "A Lover's Question," which his producer Clyde Otis then presented to Jerry Wexler and Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic Records, who liked it so much that they invited Benton and Otis to come into the studio and recreate that feel for Clyde McPhatter's hit version of the tune. That's Benton doing the finger snaps.

Don't Panic Song Chart

This DJ Mustard-produced song finds Montana rhyming about not getting affected by the hate he gets for his relationship with reality star Khloé Kardashian. The rapper tells the haters that the pair are just getting started, and it's not another flash in the pan celebrity romance. Montana also takes a shot at his girlfriend's ex Lamar Odom when he raps, "Shorty fell in love with a hustler. Man I took her from a buster."

Khloé Kardashian also features on the single artwork with French Montana.

Khloé Kardashian takes a starring role in the song's music video together with her boyfriend French Montana, as they play a pair of masked psychopaths wreaking havoc on a town. The clip was directed by Eif Rivera and filmed in Paterson, New Jersey in early July 2014.

Also featuring is video model Sandy Raquel, who bears a strong resemblance to Khloé's sister Kim and public relations guru and magazine publisher Savannah Britt who takes on the role of her good friend Malika Haqq. According to The Daily Mail, Khloé was adamant that only two other women star in the clip alongside her and that one must look like either of her two sisters while the other should resemble Malika Haqq. "A bunch of video models showed up to be in the video, but Khloe wasn't having it," said the newspaper's source. "She kept insisting to the director that one girl resemble her sister Kim or Kourtney, and one must resemble her best friend, Malika."

"She got nearly perfect matches of [the] girls. This girl looked exactly like Malika and the other looked exactly like Kim."
