Silent Partner Lyrics

I've been living in the light of the shadows
Why won't you let me leave?
And I've been trying to find my way to the shallows
But the water's just too deep
Always something inside of me keeps dragging me down
I'm going deep below the undertow
And it won't let go
All I need is
Silence

There's a thumping that's filled with violence
And it creeps in through the walls at night when
When I can't see happy from sad, good or bad
All I need is silence
All I need is silence
Oh, I'm crying out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need
Silence

So tired of breathing in numbers
Trying to stop my racing heart
Oh, all I know is that I want it to stop
And I don't know where to start
Your always on my shoulder praying I won't try anymore
Conversations that begin to shout
Are you happy now?
All I need is
Silence

All I need is

Silence

There's a thumping that's filled with violence
And it creeps in through the walls at night when
When I can't see happy from sad, good or bad
All I need is silence
All I need is silence
Oh, I'm crying out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need
Silence
All I need is silence
Oh, I'm crying out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need
Silence

There's a thumping that's

Silence, all I need is silence
All I need is silence
Oh, I'm crying out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need
Silence

There's a thumping that's filled with violence (silence)
And it creeps in through the walls at night when (silence)
When I can't see happy from sad, good or bad
All I need is silence

All I need is silence
Oh, I'm crying out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need
Silence

There's a thumping that's filled with violence (silence)
And it creeps in through the walls at night when (silence)
When I can't see happy from sad, good or bad
All I need is silence

Silent Partner

This song directly addresses Elly Jackson's issues with anxiety. She told NME: "Whenever I think about my anxiety, the word 'silence' comes in my head. You just want that voice in your head that's telling you you're s--t to stop, and you need to overcome it."

Adrienne Lyrics

I've been thinking about you, my love
And all the crazy things that you put me through
Now I'm coming around, throwing it back to you
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him?
Could you taste me when you licked his skin?
All the while I showered you with trust and promises

What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all I had to give, but I could never reach you

Oh, Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, used me up

Spent my money, drove my car, I treated you like a shining star
But in my sky all burnt out you are
And I'll have the last laugh, when I see you walking with some other guy
'Cause I know you're gonna end up all alone

So take these words, some good advice
All you've done gonna come back twice
You never cared how much it hurt, I really need to tell you

Oh, Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, used me up
You used me up

What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all that I had to give, and I could never reach you

Oh, Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, used me

Adrienne, long before, Adrienne
Oh Adrienne, Adrienne, oh yeah

Adrienne

Lead singer Alex Band has said that Adrienne is not a real person. We all have an Adrienne in our lives - someone who is not worth going for who spends your money and uses you, yet you still can't get over them no matter how much you try. (thanks, Liz - Patterson, CA)

The video was filmed in an abandoned military base in LA and was directed by Nigel Dick. Alex Band wanted the video to have a "domino effect," which is what you see in the video with various people singing the lyrics and falling down in the end. (thanks, Britney - Calabasas, CA)

Stolen Dance Lyrics

I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again
They’ve always been so kind
But now they’ve brought you away from here
I hope they didn’t get your mind
Your heart is too strong anyway
We need to fetch back the time
They have stolen from us

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You’ve never danced like this before
We don’t talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn’t talk about it

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You’ve never danced like this before
We don’t talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn’t talk about it

Shouldn't talk about it

Coldest winter for me
No sun is shining anymore
The only thing I feel is pain
Caused by absence of you
Suspense is controlling my mind
I cannot find the way out of here

I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You’ve never danced like this before
We don’t talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn’t talk about it

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You’ve never danced like this before
We don’t talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn’t talk about it
Shouldn’t talk about it

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You’ve never danced like this before
We don’t talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn’t talk about it

And I want you
We can bring it on the floor
You’ve never danced like this before
We don’t talk about it
Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise, shouldn’t talk about it
Shouldn’t talk about it

Stolen Dance

Milky Chance is a pop-rock duo comprising vocalist Clemens Rehbein and DJ Philipp Dausch. Both originate from the German town of Kassel and are signed to Kassel-based label Lichtdicht Records in their home country.

This along with the other songs on Sadnecessary this one was recorded and mixed by the pair in a home studio. Released on April 5, 2013 as Milky Chance's debut single, the folk/pop/electronic mélange peaked at #2 in their home country and quickly became a European hit, topping the chart in Austria, Belgium (Wallonia), Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland and Switzerland. It took a little to catch on in America: the song didn't reach its US chart peak of #39 until 21 months after it was first released.

In this song Milky Chance use an addict who is craving drugs to fuel his habit as a metaphor for someone missing their former lover. Clemens Rehbein explained to Artist Direct : "You want to spend time with a person but you can't because of some bad circumstances. It describes a feeling you have and expressing the aching for that person and perhaps the hope to see her again. You're hoping for good things."

Rehbein told Nylon magazine the story of the song: "I wrote the chorus two or three years ago, and then the verse a few years later," he said. "The whole song took a few years. I always have so many ideas in my head and so I'm always trying to find pieces to fit together and stick together. It's kind of puzzling, and that's the special thing about it. In general it takes a week or so to write a song, but sometimes you have ideas and don't know how to continue. Then you have to put them away and come back to them later, which is what I did."

The words 'stolen' and 'dancing' both appear in the song's lyrics, but separately. The title doesn't feature in the song.

Spoonman Lyrics

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me

All my friends are Indians
All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones, Spoonman

Feel the rhythm with you hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman

Thank you, good night people

Spoonman

This song is about a street artist named Artis the Spoonman, who played the spoons on the streets of Seattle, where Soundgarden formed. Artis played his spoons on the song, and is credited on the album (Spoons: Artis The Spoonman). He is also featured in the video.

When we spoke with Artis in 2013 , he said that he earned a flat fee of $1,000 for performing on the song, and another $7,000 to appear in the video. Describing how Soundgarden contacted him, he said: "In 1992, they had me do a tweener (a performance between acts) between them and Melvins. And their manager at the time, Susan Silver, she told me Chris is writing a song, 'Spoonman,' and would I like to record on it when it's done. And so in '93, almost a year and a half later, they called me and we went in the studio that day and recorded it. Went through four takes and that was that. Two hours. That was the recording session."

Pearl Jam guitarist Jeff Ament came up with the title. Pearl Jam was in the 1992 movie Singles, and Ament made a fake tape as a prop in the movie with names of songs on it that he made up. One of them was "Spoonman," and when Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell saw the tape, he liked the title and decided to use it for a song. Ament is credited on the album for coming up with the title.

Cornell was in the group Temple Of The Dog ("Hunger Strike") with Ament and Stone Gossard, who went on to form Pearl Jam.

Cornell hadn't yet met Artis when he wrote the song.

This won the 1995 Grammy for Best Metal Performance. (thanks, Adrian - Brookings, SD)

This song is often credited with turning Artis the Spoonman into a bit of a celebrity, but he was already done some high profile gigs, including some performances with Frank Zappa in 1981. When we asked him how this song changed his life, Artis replied: "You know, it's kind of embarrassing. It's not weird, though. It was an honor. I do believe in luck, but even that's got some science. It wasn't luck for me. I'd been playing already 25 years. When they asked me to do that, I had already done the Letterman show, I'd been to Japan, England, Germany. I was in Australia, Bali, Singapore - I'd been places all over the world performing, I'd been called and paid and brought there to those places and doing national TV and stuff.

So it wasn't anything like Soundgarden making the Spoonman. What Soundgarden did was another bump. I'd already gotten a hell of a lot of national coverage and I'd played a lot of national gigs and all over the country. But that bump was tremendous, a huge honor."

This would certainly be the most famous song about a street performer if it wasn't for the 1970 hit "Mr. Bojangles," which is about a street dancer the songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker met in jail. "Spoonman," however, features a performance by its subject. As Artis the Spoonman tells us: "There's nothing ever to regret about 'Spoonman.' That's unusually incredible, remarkable. Elvis didn't have a Grammy Award-winning song featuring him about him. Nobody did. Nobody at all. There isn't anybody. Not even that dancer, Bojangles. So it's a huge honor, what's happened to me."

Talking about what he's trying to convey about Artis in this song, Chris Cornell said it was "about the paradox of who he is and what people perceive him as."

"He's a street musician, but when he's playing on the street, he is given a value and judged completely wrong by someone else," Cornell continued. "They think he's a street person, or he's doing this because he can't hold down a regular job. They put him a few pegs down on the social ladder because of how they perceive someone who dresses differently. The lyrics express the sentiment that I much more easily identify with someone like Artis."

Soundgarden used this to open many of their live shows between 1996 and 1997.

Bassist Ben Shepard sang backup vocals, like the lines, "They beat the rhythm with their bones." His voice was sent through Fender Twin Reverb. It's his favorite song on the album.

This was the first single from the album, which went on to sell over five million copies. The B-side on the single is "Fresh Tendrils." A special remix is included as the B-side on the singles for "Black Hole Sun" and "My Wave."

Artis the Spoonman didn't get rich off this song for four reasons:
1) He got just a small flat fee for performing on the song and appearing in the video, so he didn't get any royalties from the song (the only songwriter credited on it is Chris Cornell).

2) He was very particular about where he would perform and who he would shill for. He refused to play bars or any other venues where the audience wasn't there specifically to see him. He did do some commercials for Dairy Queen, but that was his only corporate association.

3) He didn't pursue opportunities, as he avoids self-promotion. "It's embarrassing for me to pursue a show," he told us.

4) He wasn't shrewd financially. "I'd take funds for a show that I said yes to, but I just take what they pay me. I took what they paid me and I didn't have a lawyer or anything," he said.

Like the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" and Pink Floyd's "Money," parts of this song are in 7/4 time. Soundgarden frequently used odd time signatures in their songs. (thanks, Adrian - Gettysburg, PA)

Chris Cornell wrote a rough version of this song during the filming of Singles that can be heard in the movie in a scene where a Citizen Dick poster is being put up on a telephone pole.

This song appeared in the Playstation 2 game ATV: Offroad Fury. You are able to listen to it while racing. (thanks, John - Madison, WI)

You say I am genuine
I see your backhand again
I'm a sinner, I have sinned
We're a half mast flag in wind

At the bottom of a well
I'm reliving my own hell
Someone throws the ladder down
Still don't know what I have found

Our Love

This is a track from Are We There, which centers on the ending of Sharon Van Etten's on-off relationship with a DJ named Christian. "I had no idea I was writing a breakup record when I was writing this, but that's what I ended up doing," she admitted to Mojo magazine. "Most of the tracking was done by the time it happened. It's kind of heavy when you look at it in those terms; I'd been writing these songs for two years and everything just came to fruition. It's kind of dark."

The video, directed by Karen Collins, sees Van Etten, eyes shut, torn by her love. Speaking about the clip, Van Etten said: "Working with Karen was a dream. We sat together and talked about imagery and feeling and distance versus connection. Lightness versus darkness. Referencing directors like Tarkovsky to articulate the beauty in the understatement and slowness."

"'Our Love' is about someone acknowledging that having loved and letting it be over can be just as beautiful as being in love," she added. "It can also be a form of rebirth and renewal and inspiring and uplifting, even in the darkness and sadness. I think Karen captured that really well."

Asked on Reddit about her songwriting process, Van Etten replied: "I'm usually going through a really dark time. I pick up my recorder and my guitar or sit at the piano and sing stream of conscious for about ten minutes or so. Then I set it aside and don't listen to it for days. When I have a bit more distance from it, I listen to it and try to understand what it is I was going through and what I was feeling... Then I listen to see if there is a melody or a line that I can (and other people can) relate to and learn from. If I can't find any of that I don't share it. IF there is something to it, I work on it from there."

I get up when I'm down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

There's a light that shines on
Shines on me and it keeps me warm
It gimme peace I must say
I can't sleep 'cause the world won't wait

'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

Guitarist Noel Gallagher admits that, unlike almost all other Oasis songs, this is about absolutely nothing. It just sounds great. (thanks Benjamin - Liverpool, England)

This was released as a single with "Just Getting Older" and "Idlers Dream" as the B-sides. These songs aren't available on an album.

Although this went nowhere in the US, it hit #1 in Italy and Canada.

This was the first time that Oasis released a DVD single. The DVD includes two different audio versions of the song, as well as the first part of a documentary covering the band's life on the road during their 2001 "Tour of Brotherly Love" with the Black Crowes.

This was the first single from the album. They planned to release the song "Force Of Nature," but felt it just wasn't good enough. (thanks, Carlos Arredondo - Monterrey, Mexico)

Noel got the title for this song off of a t-shirt he had found. (thanks, Ian - Kalamazoo, MI)

In the video, Liam Gallagher mocks his boozy image by drinking milk. (thanks, Steve - Laconia, NH)

Heathen Chemistry was recorded at Wheeler End Studio in Buckinghamshire, England. It's owned by Suzanne Lee, the former wife of Blues rocker Alvin Lee, and the studio's facilities have also been used by the likes of George Harrison, Paul Weller, Ian Brown and Robbie Williams.

She picks up the phone
In my head I know I'm wrong
I just want to know what she's heard
I'm pacing back and forth
'Cause I know that I've been caught
Trying to think of the perfect words

So I can come to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes
I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes

Time is not on our side
'Cause she's waving goodbye goodbye
'Cause she's waving goodbye goodbye
Smarts phones, dumb shit

Never knew I call so if she heard it all
I'm all out of luck tonight
I can say it was a joke but who am I kidding she ain't slow
Only way to make it right

Is if I come to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes
I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes

Oh man I got to think of something
I'm about to lose it all
I swear that shit really didn't mean nothing
It all started with a pocket call

So I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes
I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say

This smouldering ballad finds Songz singing of a pocket-dial mishap made by his smart phone while he's cheating on his girlfriend. He's unsure how much she's heard, but is scared that the accident is going to ruin their relationship.

"These phones are so smart in all that they do, that it's like they're an extension of our brain, but what they can't do is always prevent human error and human nature," Songz told Mashable . "The mistakes that we as humans make, the relationships that we make and we break, no amount of technology can save."

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Earth is dying help me Jesus
We need guidance,
We've been misled,
Young and hostile,
But not stupid
Corporate leaders, politicians,
Kids can't vote, adults elect them
Mobs that rule the school and workplace,
Signs that caution, sixteen's unsafe

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up
You're to blame

Let this train wreck burn more slowly,
Kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with useless warnings,
Teenage rules they're f***ed and boring

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up
You're to blame

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to

Foil Lyrics

I never seem to finish all my food
So I always gets doggy bag from the waiter
So I just keep what's still unchewed
And I take it home, save it for later

But then I deal with fungal rot, bacterial formation
Microbes, enzymes, mould and oxidation
I don't care, I've got a secret trick up my sleeve
I never bother with baggies, glass jars, tupperware containers
Plastic cling wrap, really a no-brainer
I just like to keep all my flavours sealed in tight

With aluminum Foil (foil)
Never settle for less
That kind of wrap is just the best
To keep your sandwich nice and fresh
Stick it in your cooler (cooler)
Eat it when you're ready
But maybe you'll choose (you'll choose, you'll choose, you'll choose)
A refreshing herbal tea

Mmm, lovely!

Oh, by the way, I've cracked the code
I've figured out these shadow organizations
And the Illuminati know
That they're finally primed for world domination

And soon you've got black helicopters comin' cross the border
Puppet masters for the New World Order
Be aware: there's always someone that's watching you
And still the government won't admit they faked the whole moon landing
Thought control rays, psychotronic scanning
Don't mind that, I'm protected cause I made this hat

From aluminum foil (foil)
Wear a hat that’s foil lined
In case an alien's inclined
To probe your butt or read your mind
Looks a bit peculiar ('culiar)
Seems a little crazy
But someday I'll prove (I'll prove, I'll prove, I'll prove)
There's a big conspiracy

Silver Threads and Golden Needles Lyrics

I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
All I want's the love you've promised
Beneath the halo moon

But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrows
While you play your cheatin' game

Silver Threads and Golden Needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind

You can't buy my love with money
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind

You can't buy my love with money
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver Threads and Golden Needles

The Springfields were a Peter, Paul & Mary-style folk trio of Dusty Springfield (later a solo star), her brother Tom, and their friend Tim Field. The song was originally recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1956 - it was the first single for the rockabilly singer. The Springfields heard Jackson's version and recorded their own. Their version is an early example of folk-pop, complete with a jangly guitar solo.

This song was written by Dick Reynolds and Jack Rhodes. Rhodes wrote some popular rockabilly and country song, including "A Satisfied Mind."

Some of the many artists to cover this song include The Cowsills, The Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt and Johnny Rivers. Here are the versions that charted on the US Hot 100:

Jody Miller (#54, 1965)
The Cowsills (#74, 1969)
Linda Ronstadt (#67, 1974)

The Springfields released the successful singles "Breakaway" and "Bambino" in the UK before issuing "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" there in April 1962. It was a flop there, but when it was released in America as their first single in July 1962, it became a Stateside hit. When the album was released in the US, it was named after this track, but in the UK it was called Kinda Folksy.

The Springfields failed to make the US Top 40 with any more songs, but did have further UK success with the hits "Island Of Dreams" (#5), "Say I Won't Be There" (#5) and "Come On Home" (#31).

In our interview with Martin Gordon, he revealed "(Oh No, What Shall We Do?) Daddy Lost His Head in a Coup" is "a tune about email scams," more specifically, a Nigerian banking fraud that circulated in 2003 claiming to offer the addressee $19.5 million in exchange for their financial details. On his his official website, Gordon shares the hilarious correspondence between himself and the so-called "highly placed officials of the Civilian Government of Nigeria Federal Ministry of Aviation" that provided the basic material for this song. As for the rather ungainly title, Gordon added: "I do like using punctuation in song titles, although it makes registering them with collection agencies a right bugger, especially if you are a bit pissed."

The Joy of More Hogwash was the second album to be released from Gordon's Mammal Trilogy. The Trilogy, which consists of three tranches of two parts each, marked Gordon's debut solo material, having previously played bass for the likes of Sparks, Jet and Radio Stars. The sixth and final part of the Trilogy, Include Me Out, was released in 2013.

The Love You Save Lyrics

Stop na na na, you'd better save it!
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!

When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be It.
But chasing boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit.

When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back to grade school
You're doing the same old thing!

Stop, The Love You Save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for the danger zone.

I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed!

They'll ruin your reputation!
They'll label you a flirt!

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benji held your hand he felt
Electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times!

Stop, the love you save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone.

Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.

S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no!"
P is for "Please, please, don't go!"

The love you save may be your own
Some day you may be all alone
Stop it!
Save it, girl!
Baby, ooh!
You better stop, the love you save may be your own
Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You'll be all alone

I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed. (Ah!)

Stop, the love you save may be your own, baby
You'd better stop it, stop it, stop it girl!
Or someday you'll be all alone.

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name, turn your name to dirt.

Stop, he love you save may be your own!
Don't you know don't you know.
Some day baby you'll be all alone. (Wait a while)

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed.

Stop, the love you save may be your own!

The Love You Save

Like "I Want You Back" and "ABC," this was written and produced by "The Corporation": Freddie Perren, Deke Richards, Fonce Mizell, and Berry Gordy Jr.

With this single, the Jackson 5 became the first act ever to have its first three chart singles top the Billboard singles chart (Hot 100, or Top 100 prior to 1956).

The original lyrics concerned traffic safety. After the song was altered to fit the style of the Jackson 5, only the title and the line "Darling, look both ways before you cross me" survived. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

The "Christopher" reference is about Christopher Columbus. The line is, "Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time," which makes sense, but only from an American perspective: Schoolchildren in the USA were taught that Christopher Columbus "discovered" the North American continent. (thanks, Robin - Birmingham, AL)
