Chains Lyrics

With her wine-stained lips, yeah she’s nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she’s warm as a devil
I gave all my heart but she won't heal my soul
She tasted a break and I can’t get more

You got me in Chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

Alone in the night ‘til she knocks on my door (Oh no)
Oh no, wasted again but I can’t say no (No)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains (Oh babe), you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (I wouldn’t change), no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (Wouldn't change), no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

(Hey hey hey hey)
(You got me in) Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul (Hey)

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains (Oh babe), you got me in chains for your love (Oh)
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

Chains

This R&B leaning cut finds Nick Jonas singing about being trapped in a hopeless love. He explained: "The story behind 'Chains' is basically that feeling that all people can relate to, it's being trapped."

"For me specifically in this song, I connected to love and trust and for some people they have said it's broader for them," Nick added, "it's more than love, it can be about anything that entangles you in your life and doesn't let you do what you need to do to feel free."

The song was produced by Jason Evigan, whose previous credits include Nick Jonas's friend Demi Lovato's hit single "Heart Attack."

The song's music video was co-directed by Nick Jonas with Ryan Pallotta (Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato). It was filmed at Los Angeles' historic Hotel Alexandria, which has also served as the location for Dreamgirls, Water for Elephants and Se7en. Dylan Penn, who is the daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, plays Nick's love interest in the steamy clip, "It's basically a surreal world that we've created where the heart and emotion and heart of the song are tied into a really beautiful visual," the singer told MTV News.

Nick Jonas launched his eponymous second studio album with this song. He explained to Billboard magazine: "'Chains' was a bridge between what people had heard from me in the past and what was coming. This leans more toward alternative R&B, neo-soul."

Nick Jonas teamed up with directors Black Coffee and artist Peter Tunney, who directed the "Jealous" clip for a second, lighter video. The visual finds Jonas heading down to an outdoor party at the famed Wynwood Walls graffiti art gallery in Miami. Once inside the bash we see him dancing with his fellow-party goers then later performing for them.

Everything You Did Lyrics

Where did the bastard run
Is he still around
Now you gotta tell me Everything You Did baby
I'm gonna get a gun

Shoot the lover down
Are you gonna tell me everything you did baby
Traces are everywhere
In our happy home

Now you better tell me everything you did baby
I jumped out of my easy chair
It was not my own
Now I want to hear about everything you did baby

I never knew you
You were a roller skater
You gonna show me later
Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening

You know how people talk
I wonder what they say
I think you better tell me everything you did baby

I never knew you
You were a roller skater
You gonna show me later

You never came to me
When you were so inclined
Yes you could have told me everything you did baby
I know where baby's at
I know your filthy mind
Now you're gonna do me everything you did baby

Everything You Did

This is an angry song directed to a lover. It's one of Steely Dan's lesser-known compositions; NME called it "relaxed and hummable, but hardly memorable" in their review.

The line, "Turn up the Eagles; the neighbors are listening" has become the mythologized in rock. Steely Dan admired the Eagles, and the group's had the same manager: Irving Azoff. The duo has been coy about the line, but legend has it that Walter Becker's girlfriend loved the Eagles and played them all the time, which bothered him a bit. One day they got in a fight, and he came up with that line.

A story with more veracity is how the Eagles returned the favor on "Hotel California" with the line, "They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast." With the clear intention of getting a Steely Dan mention in the song, the line was written as "They stab it with their Steely Dan," but they decided to make it a little more vague. As Glenn Frey has pointed out, changing it to "steely knives" retains the phallic imagery.

Asked by Uncut what he thought when he heard the line, Don Henley replied: "I know them pretty well, and it was like he was sort of saying, 'Everybody's in LA's playing this f--kin' record, and I'm sick of it.!' It was a little bit of an acknowledgment and a little bit taking the piss, because we had the same management – still do- but you know, they're very droll, Fagen in particular."

No Home Lyrics

And when you started this
Disrespecting yourself
And then you want to go home

And when there's no hope
And there's no one who knows you
You're always alone
And its picking a tour on
And then you want to go home

And there's No Home
You got to fight for what you love
In your home

And when you realize there's no one to guide you
You often give in to temptations
Sometimes you're lost in hopes in making a home

So let me remind you
That this ain't your time
And you'll lose what you like
And your gift is after
And you know you can make a new home

And there's no home
You got to fight for what you love
In your home

And there's no home
You got to fight for what you love
In your home
If you love me
I will let you leave with me
If you love me
I will let you leave with me

I will be your home
I will be your home
I will be your home
I will be your home

So if you love me
I will let you leave with me
If you love me
I will let you leave with me
I need your home

No Home

Nico Vega formed in 2005 in southern California and released their self-titled debut four years later. They are led by frontwoman Aja Volkman, who is married to Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds. The band got a helping hand from Volkman's husband on their Lead To Light album; Dan Reynolds co-produced the disc along with Tony Hoffer (Beck, Fitz and the Tantrums) and Tim Edgar.

This anthemic track was inspired by Volkman's move from Oregon to Los Angeles in the mid 2000s. She explained to MTV News it is about, "feeling alone in the world and sort of finding your home and making that home wherever you are."

"There's a lot of people that feel lost and broken-hearted," Volkman added. "[The song] speaks to that - that part of each person that needs to create their own home to feel a space and a place in the world."

Shoot The Dog

This song is a political satire that caused a great deal of controversy. The video is a cartoon, which portrays British Prime Minister Tony Blair as the pet poodle of US President George Bush. In another scene, Blair and Bush are dancing together, with Blair wearing a dress. The implication that Blair would do whatever Bush told him to played out months later when the US went to war with Iraq. Despite criticism from the British public, Blair supported Bush and sent troops to help the US.

Michael wrote this after watching television news and realizing there were a lot of angry people in the world.

The song was written before the September 11 attacks, but was shelved until June, 2002 because of them.

After releasing this song, Michael explained that he is patriotic, but feels there needs to be more open debate, which he was trying to stir by writing this. "'Shoot the Dog' is political satire, expressing my personal opinion about the lack of public dialogue between the government and the British people today,' he said. "I wrote it to get people talking, not to change the world and certainly not to cause offense. If it stimulates debate and makes people dance and laugh, I think it will have done its job."

The music is based on a 1981 song by The Human League called "Love Action (I Believe In Love)"

On the Other Hand Lyrics

On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long.
So many lover's games I could play with you
And on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong

[Chorus]
But On the Other Hand, There's a golden band
To remind of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand

In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died
When I looked into your eyes I found myself
When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else

[Chorus]

On the Other Hand

This Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz penned song was released in 1985 by Randy Travis as the leadoff single to his Storms of Life album, stalling at #67 on the Country chart. The song was re-released the following year after the success of his "1982" single, and this time it became the singer's first Country #1.

The song depicts a man with a wedding band on one hand, who is tempted by another woman. Overstreet and Schlitz were actually trying to write a different song when they got the idea for this one. "We were trying to write a theme for another song. It was the idea that when you have one woman, you shouldn't be looking for another one," Overstreet recalled to Country Weekly. "I personally was tired of that whole scenario of going from one relationship to another, and not having the strength to really say no in tempting situations. I was hoping we could write a song that would say we had the strength to say no."

"So right in the middle of that song, we kind of bantered some lines back and forth and Don said 'but on the other hand,' and I said, 'there's a golden band,'" he continued. "From that point, we looked at each other and kind of got that glitter in our eyes, and finished it real quick. Then we went to lunch."

The song was originally recorded by Keith Whitley on his 1985 album L.A. to Miami.

Der Kommissar Lyrics

Zwei drei vier one two three
Its easy to see
But its not that I don't care so
Cause I hear it all the time
But they never let you know
On the TV and the radio
She was young her heart was pure
But every night is bright she got
She said sugar is sweet
She come rappin' to the beat
Then I knew that she was hot

She was singin
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
You're in his eye
And you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

She said babe you know
I miss Jill and Joe
And all my funky friends
But my street understanding
Was just enough to know what she really meant
And I got to thinking while she was talking
That I know she told the story
Of those special places that she goes
When she rides with the others in the subway

Singin'
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
And you don't know why
You say your life
Is gonna make you die...

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Well we meet Jill and Joe
And brother Herr
And the whole cool gang (and oh)
They're rappin' here they're rappin' there
But she's climbin' on the wall
Its a clear case, Herr Kommissar
'Cause all the children know
They're all slidin' down into the valley
They're all slipping on the same snow

Hear the children
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
He's got the power
And you're so weak
And you're frustration will not let you speak

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
Then you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh

Der Kommissar

The original version was recorded in German by the Austrian singer Falco, who had a #1 hit in the US in 1986 with "Rock Me Amadeus." His version of "Der Kommissar" was a dance-floor favorite in Europe, but unlikely to crack the American charts, so Falco encouraged English-speaking bands to record this song so he could make inroads in the States.

After The Fire was a British foursome whose most notable member was former Yes synth-man Peter Banks. They released three fairly successful albums in England before their label, CBS Records, issued the Der Kommissar album in America. The title track became the group's only hit - their follow up was a song called "Dancing in the Shadows," which topped out at #85 in the US.

"Kommissar" is German for "Government Official." The song is about a couple on the run from the law. Every time they happen to be in public, "Der Kommissar" shows up. Hence the phrase, "Alles klar? Der Kommissar," which means "Everything OK, officer? (thanks, Arturo - Houston, TX)

Laura Branigan put out an English language variant, "Deep in the Dark" on her album Branigan. Bill Bowersock wrote the lyrics to her version. After The Fire's take on the song used lyrics that were basically a translation of Falco's original words.

The Wanted's Tom Parker is the guest singer on this tune. "I got in touch with Tom because I'm a fan of his vocal," Rawson told Digital Spy . "I love what he does and what he brings as an artist."

"I didn't want an R&B vocal on that kind of record," he added. "I wanted the more indie route, so I called Tom and he came down and he threw in some melodies and we came up with this record."

Love Rollercoaster Lyrics

Love Rollercoaster

For the sake of a good story, Angus Young used to tell reporters that "Thunderstruck" was born from a flight where AC/DC's plane was struck by lightning. While that tale was embellished, The Ohio Players "Love Rollercoaster" really did come from a harrowing flight. The group was traveling to a show in a twin engine airplane (a Navajo), while flying through turbulent, stormy weather. As their drummer Jimmy "Diamond" Williams tells it, he was in the co-pilot seat when the plane hit air pockets that dropped it at least 400 feet (he saw the instruments). Someone on the plane commented that they must love their jobs, since the airplane ride was a "love rollercoaster." Lead singer Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner wrote the lyrics around that phrase, with the band working up the track. Both the writing and production credits on the song go to the band.

This song is the subject of an urban myth. During an instrumental break, there is a scream that sounds a little out of place. It was rumored that the scream was the sound of a woman being murdered in the studio. According to the story, which was started by a DJ in California, this woman was the model who appeared on the album cover. She was kneeling on glass and pouring honey in her mouth. While she was doing it, she found out that the glass was actually fiber glass and the honey reacted with the fiber glass by sticking to her legs and ripping all the skin off. She went in the manager's studio while the band was still recording and threatened to sue the band, which is when the manager stabbed her to death. The band left in the scream as a cruel joke. The scream was actually keyboard player Billy Beck. Instead of telling the truth, the band agreed to coyly answer "no comment" when asked about the rumor, claiming they took a vow of silence. The ploy worked, as the urban legend gave the song a buzz and help sell records.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded a version of this for the soundtrack of the 1996 movie Beavis And Butthead Do America. Their version hit #7 in the UK.

This song was used for the movie Final Destination 3, which follows a group of teenagers who avoid death by rollercoaster, but cannot escape fate. (thanks, Kat - Grafton, MA)

In the US, this was used in a TV commercial for Volkswagen. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The Ohio Players's leader, singer, and guitarist Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner died on January 26, 2013 at the age of 71 from cancer. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

What Can I Do

The follow-up to SecondCity's UK #1 single, "I Wanna Feel," this features vocals by Ali Love. The song was released through Ministry of Sound Recordings/Speakerbox.

Ali Love (real name Alexander Williams) is a British singer, who first came to fame when he provided vocals for The Chemical Brothers 2007 hit, "Do It Again." He also sung on Justice's 2011 track, "Civilization."

The collaboration with Ali Love was completed within an hour. "It happened quite sneakily," SecondCity told MTV UK. "I just thought he'd be really cool (for the track). I didn't know him at the time but a friend of mine knew him and was like 'shall we give him a call?' and I was like 'really?! Alright, cool, do it,' and they just called him up and they were like 'Oh I'm in the studio with Secondcity, do you want to come down and we'll record some vocals?' and he was just like 'yeah why not I'll come down now' and an hour later he was there!"

"We played him the record and he was like 'yeah this is so sick, I absolutely love it, lets just do it' and he just started singing there and then. Within an hour it was kind of done!"

Secondcity added: "He was someone I'd had in the back of my mind for a long time from like (Hot Natured track) Benediction and his older stuff as well that he did with Justice and stuff like that… I'd always thought he was really good and versatile."

Is This Love? Lyrics

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
An' I can't wait to see you again

I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call
How can I tell you, babe
My back's against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright
'Cause I don't think I can take anymore

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
'Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day
An' I can't wait too see you again
So I can hold you in my arms

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
'Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is This Love?

This mid-tempo rocker shows the sensitive side of Whitesnake's frontman David Coverdale, who wrote the song with guitarist John Sykes. Missing the typical Whitesnake swagger, this song finds Coverdale waiting by the phone for his girlfriend to call.

Whitesnake was the name of several of Coverdale's solo projects after he left Deep Purple. This version of the group was breaking up when the single was released, and Coverdale had to put together another band to go on the road to promote it.

The videos for both this and "Here I Go Again" feature actress/model and Coverdale girlfriend Tawny Kitaen. They both take place at 5:55 in the morning on city streets filled with fog. (thanks, Ty - Hollywood, FL)

About a year before this song was released, Survivor issued a single called "Is This Love" that also asked the question, "Is this love that I'm feeling?" That song went to #9 in the US.

I Can't Outrun You Lyrics

Ninety five down the interstate
Mile high on a jet plane
A desert road or a downtown train
It's all the same, I Can't Outrun You

I can move to another town
Where nobody'd ask where you are now
L.A. or Mexico
No matter where I go, I can't outrun you

You're in my heart, you're in my mind
Everywhere ahead, everywhere behind
Every turn I take,
You're right around the bend

It's like your ghost is chasing me
When I'm awake, when I'm asleep
There's a part of you in every part of me
And I can't outrun you
I can't outrun you

I had a chance with a boy or two
But all I ever saw was you
You're holding my hand, kissing my face
I guess some memories never fade

You're in my heart, you're in my mind
Everywhere ahead, everywhere behind
Every turn I take,
You're right around the bend

It's like your ghost is chasing me
When I'm awake, when I'm asleep
There's a part of you in every part of me
And I can't outrun you
I can't outrun you

Whoa, whoa

I thought there just might come a time
I wouldn't regret telling you goodbye
If there was I'll never know
No matter where I go I can't outrun you

I Can't Outrun You

This song was inspired by a real-life heartbreaking situation for songwriter Kyle Jacobs, who penned the tune with Joe Leathers and Ben Glover.

Jacobs and Leathers were on Keifer and Shawna Thompson's bus one night and asked if they could play the married pair in the song. "It wasn't really a pitch," Keifer explained to Radio.com . "They played it for us, and we just loved it and got talking about it and if we should get to recording. The label was on board with it and loved it and everybody else, too."

Despite being happily married, Shawna said the pair could both relate to the heartbreaking situation portrayed in the song. "It's so real. We knew the story because Kyle told us the back story of the song," she said. "Even without the back story it's just a heart-wrenching song. We've been through breakups before, and we know that horrible feeling when you're trying to get over somebody because you know it's not going to work."

The song was originally written from a guy's perspective, but once the Thompsons got into the studio they decided to make it a duet. "We started playing around with it and turned it into a duet," Shawna said, "which is interesting, coming from two different perspectives."

Atomic Dog Lyrics

Yeah, this is a story of a famous dog
For the dog that chases its tail will be dizzy
These are clapping dogs, rhythmic dogs
Harmonic dogs, house dogs, street dogs
Dog of the world unite
Dancin' dogs
Yeah
Countin' dogs, funky dogs
Nasty dogs (Dog)

Atomic Dog
Atomic dog

Like the boys
When they're out there walkin' the streets
May compete
Nothin' but the dog in ya

Bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yeah
Bow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yeah
Bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yeah
Bow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yeah

Like the boys
When they're out there walkin' the streets
May compete
Nothin' but the dog in ya

Why must I feel like that
Oh, why must I chase the cat

Like the boys
When they're out there walkin' the streets
May compete
Nothin' but the dog in ya

Ruff

Why must I feel like that
Why must I chase the cat
Nothin' but the dog in me

Why must I feel like that
Why must I chase the cat
Nothin' but the dog in me

Why must I feel like that
Why must I chase the cat
Nothin' but the dog in me

Just the dog in me
Nothin' but the dog in me

Why must I chase the cat
Just the dog in me
Nothin' but the dog in me

Why must I feel like that
Why must I chase the cat
The dog in me (Dog in me)
The dog is in me (Dog in me)

Do the dogcatcher, dogcatcher
Do the dogcatcher
Do you want to do the dogcatcher
Well, baby, why don't you do it again for me

Dogcatcher, dogcatcher
Do the dogcatcher

House-trained dogs
Wild dogs
Say it again

Why must I feel like that

Atomic Dog

This classic Funk song explains why men are always going after women: It's because they have a little a dog in them, and dogs chase cats.

This was released under George Clinton's name after he lost the rights to the names "Funkadelic" and "Parliament," but he used the same musicians.

Clinton admitted to being in an "enhanced" state when he recorded this. He ad-libbed the lyrics.

When Clinton taped his vocals, the backing music was playing backward due to an engineer's error. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

Snoop Doggy Dogg sampled this on his first single, "What's My Name," changing "Atomic Dog" to "Snoop Doggy Dogg." Snoop is a big fan of George Clinton. They appeared together in Nike commercials in 2002.

When Clinton and P-Funk play this live, it goes on for quite some time.

The unique sounding rhythm of this song is a result of a simple 2 bar drum beat, played backwards using tape. (thanks, Dave - Marieta, GA)
