World Peace Is None of Your Business Lyrics


World Peace Is None of Your Business
You must not tamper with arrangements
Work hard and sweetly pay your taxes
Never asking what for
Oh, you poor little fool oh, you fool

World peace is none of your business
Police will stun you with their stun guns
Or they'll disable you with tasers
That's what government's for
Oh, you poor little fool oh, you fool

World peace is none of your business
So would you kindly keep your nose out
The rich must profit and get richer
And the poor must stay poor
Oh, you poor little fool oh, you fool

Each time you vote you support the process
Each time you vote you support the process
Each time you vote you support the process
Brazil and Bahrain
Oh, Egypt, Ukraine
So many people in pain
No more, you poor little fool
No more, you fool

World Peace Is None of Your Business
  • Recorded in France with Morrissey's touring band, this is a barbed lament on the futility of voting or any kind of engagement with the political system as it stands. Morrissey debuted the tune live on May 7, 2014 at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in San Jose, California.
  • The track is paired with a spoken-word performance video directed by Natalie Johns, which features a cameo from Nancy Sinatra.

    Dueling Banjos Lyrics


    Dueling Banjos
  • This was written and recorded in 1955 as "Feuding Banjos" by the Country star Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith. A group called The Dillards popularized the song in the mid '60s on the folk circuit, and it was their version that the author James Dickey heard and thought would fit nicely in the film version of his novel Deliverance. The song became famous when it was used in the 1973 movie in a scene where a city guy from Atlanta trades licks with a young simpleton in the backwoods. The film version was performed by Eric Weissberg on 5-string banjo and Steve Mandell on acoustic guitar. Weissberg and Mandell were folk musicians from New York City, but their musical inspiration was the Bluegrass sound of Appalachia. Weissberg had been playing in folk bands since the '50s, and was a popular studio musician who played on Judy Collins' albums. Mandell had been with the Phoenix Singers and was also an in-demand session pro. When the song became a hit, Arthur Smith had to file a lawsuit to get credit for writing it.
  • By the '70s, folk music was more of a niche genre; gone were the days when The Kingston Trio or Peter, Paul and Mary could reach the top of the charts with a true folk song. This song had tremendous nostalgic appeal to listeners who fondly remembered those days, and to younger listeners, it was a quirky and fun new sound. Weissberg and Mandell seized the moment and formed a band that they called Deliverance. They played state fairs, colleges and other assorted venues, and made several TV appearances, playing "Dueling Banjos" until the novelty wore off.
  • This song was recorded two years before the movie was released. It was the first track on the soundtrack for the film, and the only newly-recorded song. The rest of the soundtrack was made up of songs recorded in 1963 by Eric Weissberg and Marshall Brickman and released on an album called New Dimensions in Bluegrass.
  • Largely as a result of its use in the movie, this in often associated with country bumpkins. The first few notes are often used in movies and TV shows to imply a hillbilly mentality.
  • The Dillards version of this song that gained popularity in the '60s was titled "Duelin' Banjo," which makes more sense, as there's only one banjo in the song. The Weissberg/Mandell version used in the movie was retitled "Dueling Banjos."
  • This song has been used in TV commercials for Toyota and Mini Cooper. It was also used in a popular Showtime promo.

    Earth Is the Loneliest Planet Lyrics


    Earth Is the Loneliest Planet of all
    Earth is the loneliest planet of all
    Day after day you say one day, one day
    Day after day you say one day, one day

    But you're in the wrong place, and you've got the wrong face
    And humans are not really very humane
    And earth is the loneliest planet of all

    Earth is the loneliest planet of all
    Live with a loneliness that no one else knows

    Time after time you say next time, next time
    Time after time you say next time, next time
    But you failed as a woman, and you lose as a man
    We do what we can
    And earth is the cruelest place you will never understand

    But you're in the wrong skin
    And the skin that you're in says
    Oh, let it begin
    And earth is the loneliest planet of all

    Earth is the loneliest planet of all
    Earth is the loneliest planet of all
    Day after day you say one day, one day
    Day after day you say one day, one day

    But there's always a reason why you're refused
    They always blame you, you, you
    And there is nothing anyone can do

    Don't Worry Baby Lyrics


    Well its been building up inside of me
    For oh I don't know how long
    I don't know why
    But I keep thinking
    Something's bound to go wrong

    But she looks in my eyes
    And makes me realize
    And she says "Don't Worry Baby"
    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby
    Everything will turn out alright

    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby

    I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
    When I started to brag about my car
    But I can't back down now because
    I pushed the other guys too far

    She makes me come alive
    And makes me want to drive
    When she says "Don't worry baby"
    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby
    Everything will turn out alright

    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby

    She told me "Baby, when you race today
    Just take along my love with you
    And if you knew how much I loved you
    Baby nothing could go wrong with you"

    Oh what she does to me
    When she makes love to me
    And she says "Don't worry baby"
    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby
    Everything will turn out alright

    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby
    Don't worry baby

    Don't Worry Baby
  • This was conceived as a followup to the Ronettes' #2 hit "Be My Baby." When he heard the Ronettes' song on the radio, Brian Wilson wondered aloud if he could match it. Wilson's wife Marilyn reassured him, saying, "Don't worry, baby." Wilson remembered it when it came time to write songs with his DJ friend Roger Christian.
  • Brian Wilson told Goldmine in 2011 regarding this track: "I wrote that with Roger Christian and it took me two days to write it. I started out with the verse idea and then wrote the chorus. It was a very simple and beautiful song. It's a really heart and soul song, I really did feel that in my heart. Some say it's about a car and others say it's about a girl, who's right? It's both. It's about a car and a woman."
  • Philip Lambert, author of Inside The Music of Brian Wilson, said of the similarities between this song and "Be My Baby": "They're in the same key - E Major - and they start the same. The phrase structure is the same, the chord progressions are almost the same, the melodies are almost the same." Lambert points out that the key change in this song is an unexpected touch that helps make the song memorable. The drums at the beginning are the same rhythm as "Be My Baby."
  • This song was recorded in two 8-hour sessions. Brian Wilson often used the famous Los Angeles session musicians on his songs, but this one was mostly in the family: Brian played piano and bass, Carl Wilson played guitar, and Dennis Wilson played the drums.
  • The Beach Boys used as the B-side of their hit, "I Get Around."
  • B.J. Thomas covered this in 1977. His version hit #17 in the US.
  • This song was used in the Drew Barrymore film Never Been Kissed. It also appeared in Good Morning Vietnam.
  • Billy Joel sang this at the "Tribute to Brian Wilson" concert that aired on July 4, 2001. (thanks, Jim - Melbourne, FL)
  • Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo covered this in 1993. Fifteen years later he included his version on his solo Alone II album. He told Billboard magazine that this song was immensely influential on his songwriting. Cuomo explained: "I discovered the Beach Boys around that time in 1992-93, and to help me learn how to write those kinds of melodies and harmonies and chord progressions, I would learn their songs and record my own versions of them more like Weezer-style, with distorted guitars."
    Cuomo added: "I love Brian Wilson's melody when he's saying, 'Well, it's been building up inside of me for oh, I don't know how long.' I love the lyrical innocence. It's just like a straightforward pop song, singing about a girl as opposed to something like the Pixies, where the lyrics were pretty abstract. And I love the big harmonies in the chorus -- actually five-part vocal harmonies -- and I carefully transcribed them in my bedroom on my tape player. But then I added the element of the modern crunchy guitar sound. And that's what really helped me figure out what I wanted to do as a songwriter and a performer in Weezer."
  • Al Jardine told Mojo magazine June 2012 that this was his favorite Beach Boys recording session. He recalled: "(Engineer) Chuck Britz got such a great sound on that song; the drums, the singing, the clicky sound on the Fender Precision bass. There's something about the way the track sat. Just about everything about it was an era-change for us."

    The Great Die-Off Lyrics


    There's a fire on the borders
    And it's burning down the walls you built high
    And there's a steady stream of anger
    And it's spilling from the coasts
    A tidal wave

    And the world says we reap what we sow
    To where I bury you up in my home
    The nights we'll reclaim but we’re sick of the wait

    We want it all and we want it now
    Tonight I'll watch your fires burn out
    With guns in hand we pry these guns from yours
    We want it all and we want it now
    A tide has come in to drown you out
    We make ourselves at home while your body’s still warm

    Creation tell us that the rituals
    Are only just clocks on wrong times
    And something triggers each
    And every time I hear you say
    God bless this place

    But your numbers are dwindling now
    Though endangered we'll still hunt you down
    With heads on a stake long may you reign

    We want it all and we want it now
    Tonight I'll watch your fires burn out
    With guns in hand we pry these guns from yours
    We want it all and we want it now
    A tide has come in to drown you out
    We make ourselves at home
    While your body’s still warm

    And there's a fire on the borders
    And it's burning down the walls you built high
    And there's a steady stream of anger
    And it's spilling from the coasts
    A tidal wave

    We want the motherfucking world and we want it now
    Tonight I'll watch your fires burn out
    With guns in hand we pry these guns from yours

    No I don't want to wait
    I know I better way
    So step aside, come on or better yet just go away
    Our chance has finally come
    Tomorrow I’ll be another one now
    No I’m not gonna wait
    We want it now
    Yeah we’re dousing the flames
    We want it now

    The Great Die-Off
  • Frontman Tim McIlrath explained the song's meaning to Kerrang! "It's about a previous generation's type of thinking dying off, as the people who think it die off," he said. "There's no way that way of thinking will survive after they've gone. It's about bigotry, which persists as long as people do."

    Hungry Eyes Lyrics


    I've been meaning to tell you
    I've got this feelin' that won't subside
    I look at you and I fantasize
    Now and tonight
    Now I've got you in my sights

    [Chorus]
    With these Hungry Eyes
    One look at you and I can't disguise
    I've got hungry eyes
    I feel the magic between you and I

    I want to hold you so hear me out
    I want to show you what love's all about
    Now an tonight
    Now I've got you in my sights

    [Chorus]

    Now I've got you in my sights
    With these hungry eyes
    Now did I take you by surprise
    I need you to see
    This love was meant to be

    Hungry Eyes
  • Look for a musical interlude about an hour into many movies - especially romantic comedies - which is when audiences start to tire of dialogue. In the movie Dirty Dancing, this song provided the soundtrack to Jennifer Grey's undercover dance lessons with Patrick Swayze. The song was not only a key piece of the movie, but helped the soundtrack sell over 48 million copies worldwide.
  • Eric Carmen is best known as one of the founding members of The Raspberries and writer of "All By Myself," "Almost Paradise" (Ann Wilson and Mike Reno) and other hits of his own like "Make Me Lose Control." This is one of the few songs Eric recorded that he did not write. He was asked to do it by his old Raspberries producer Jimmy Ienner, who was the musical director for Dirty Dancing.
  • This song was co-written by John DeNicola and Franke Previte, who also wrote another huge hit from Dirty Dancing, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." Previte was the singer and DeNicola was the bass player in the '80s Pop group Franke & the Knockouts, who had a hit with "Sweetheart." The group recorded for Millenium Records, which was helmed by Jimmy Ienner, who asked Franke for songs when he was producing the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Previte told us: "Jimmy had closed his label and 'Hungry Eyes' was a song on my demo reel, because I was trying to get a new recording contract. No one thought the song had a chance. I guess history proves them wrong."
  • Eric Carmen said of recording this song: "At the point when that happened, I had moved back from Los Angeles to Ohio and decided to concentrate on being a songwriter. I had become disillusioned with the idea of being an artist. I only learned to sing because I had to. I never really liked my voice, and I still don't really. So I decided I'd just be a songwriter. I'd be in Ohio and have a normal life. One day, my former producer, Jimmy Ienner, called and said he was working on the film Dirty Dancing. He had this one song, and he thought I was the guy to sing it. He sent the tape. It sounded like Air Supply with Led Zeppelin's drummer. It was very strange. But through it, you could hear there was actually a pretty good song in there somewhere. The next thing I knew, Dirty Dancing sold 15 million albums, and all of a sudden, I was a performer again." (thanks to Bernie and the folks at EricCarmen.com)
  • On September 8, 2010, the original demo of this song will be released as part of the collection Dirty Dancing: The Original Demos, which will raise money for the Patrick Swayze Pancreas Cancer Resarch Foundation at Stanford University.

    I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
    I only know I never want to let you go
    'Cause you started something, can't you see
    That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
    I happens to be true, I Only Want to Be With You

    It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
    I want to spend each moment of the day with you
    Look what has happened with just one kiss
    I never knew that I could be in love like this
    It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you

    You stopped and smiled at me
    Asked me if I'd care to dance
    I fell into your open arms
    I didn't stand a chance

    Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
    As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
    'Cause you started something, can't you see
    That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
    No matter what you do, I only want to be with you

    You stopped and smiled at me
    Asked me if I'd care to dance
    I fell into your open arms
    I didn't stand a chance

    Now hear me darling, I just want to be beside you everywhere
    As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
    'Cause you started something, can't you see
    That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
    No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
    I said, no matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you

    I Only Want to Be With You
  • This was Springfield's first single as a solo artist - she was previously a member of The Springfields with her brother Tom - the group had 5 Top-10 hits in the UK and one in the US ("Silver Threads and Golden Needles") before Dusty's departure. The song launched Dusty's Hall of Fame career, and became the first hit by a British artist since The Beatles started their run. Springfield was 24 when the song was released.
  • This song is about a girl who has finally found the guy of her dreams - or at least she thinks so. It's very much a teenage crush song in the same vein as many of the girl group songs Springfield loved. When she came to America and began her solo career, Dusty took more of a Pop/R&B direction inspired by groups like The Shirelles and The Crystals.
  • Springfield performed this on the first ever episode of the British TV show Top Of The Pops on January 1, 1964. The Rolling Stones, The Dave Clark Five and The Hollies also performed on that show. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • A 1989 cover version of this was the last hit for British singer Samantha Fox, who rose to stardom after appearing topless in a British newspaper and scoring hits with "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)," "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)," and "I Wanna have Some Fun." Her version reached #35.
  • The Bay City Rollers released a version in December 1976 that reached #12 in the US. The song was also a #4 hit in the UK for The Tourists, who were the group Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were in before they formed Eurythmics.
  • This was written by Mike Hawker and Ivor Raymonde, who also wrote Springfield's song "Stay Awhile." Hawker also wrote "Walking Back to Happiness" for Helen Shapiro.
  • Springfield performed this song on the first season of the British TV series Ready Steady Go! twice in 1963. She handled hosting duties on some early episodes of the show, and even interviewed The Beatles on the program.
  • Vic Flick, who performed on many of the James Bond themes, played guitar on this track. He told us: "Dusty was always good to work with. She knew what she wanted, both from the musicians and from herself. I first met her in 1959 when she was part of a girl trio, the Lana Sisters. I did a couple of arrangements for them to use on the live show we were doing. I had just started with John Barry Seven and everything was happening at once. Good days."

    Architecture of Aggression Lyrics


    Born from the dark
    In the black cloak of night
    To envelop its prey below
    Deliver to the light
    To eliminate your enemy
    Hit them in their sleep
    And when all is won and lost
    The spoils of wars are yours to keep

    Great nations built from the bones of the dead
    With mud and straw, blood and sweat
    You know your worth when your enemies
    Praise your Architecture of Aggression

    Praise your architecture of aggression
    Ensuing power vacuum
    A toppled leader dies
    His body fuels the power fire
    And the flames rise to the sky
    One side of his face a kiss
    The other genocide
    Time to pay with your ass
    A worldwide suicide

    Great nations built from the bones of the dead
    With mud and straw, blood and sweat
    You know your worth when your enemies
    Praise your architecture of aggression

    Born from the dark
    In the black cloak of the night
    To envelop its prey below
    Deliver to the light
    To eliminate your enemy
    Hit them in their sleep
    And when all is won and lost
    The spoils of war are yours to keep

    Great nations built from the bones of the dead
    With mud and straw, blood and sweat
    You know your worth when your enemies
    Praise your architecture of aggression

    Great nations built from the bones of the dead
    With mud and straw, blood and sweat
    You know your worth when your enemies
    Praise your architecture of aggression

    Architecture of Aggression
  • Frontman Dave Mustaine, who wrote the song with Megadeth bass player David Ellefson, explained the meaning of the song's title: "That was inspired by a book actually titled The Architecture Of Aggression, about the underground facilities used during the Nazi reign of terror. Many people have died in the architecture of a lot of countries. Yet it's just the leaders who are noted as so great in the struggle. The bible talks about the brick makers who stomped the mud and straw and would be left to die in the mud pits. Ultimately, the bricks would be made out of their sweat and blood."
  • This song was inspired by the massive bombing of Iraq on January 16, 1991 that initiated Operation Desert Storm. The sound samples at the end of the song are the voices of CNN correspondents (Peter Arnett and Bernard Shaw) in Baghdad, Iraq, describing what they saw that night.
  • Guitarist Marty Friedman called this song his favorite tune on the Countdown to Extinction album: "This also experienced the editing knife in pre-production and was shortened considerably. One of my fave vocals by Dave and also a real solid jammin' track." (thanks, Kevin - Sandy, UT, for above 3)

    One Nation Under A Groove
  • This was inspired by an event at the United Nations. Early one morning, bandleader George Clinton was outside the UN headquarters as he and two girlfriends were shooting film for a Parliament/Funkadelic movie that was never finished. P-Funk's signature prop, the Mothership, was landing as a UN staffer started to raise the flags of the member nations. One of Clinton's friends described it as "one nation under a groove." (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)
  • George Clinton had the title in mind 2 years before the band recorded the song. He didn't have any lyrics - he came up with those in the studio.
  • This was used in the 1991 movie Young Soul Rebels. The film takes place during The Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, over a year before this was recorded. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)

    Time to settle the score
    He's loaded to feel their remorse
    Steadfast strong that's for sure
    The deal of his life takes its course
    No giving in
    They don't understand
    They get to give up and to meet his demands

    He's the last to obey
    Watch him seizing the day

    There's no holding him back
    The ransom announces his deeds
    He's not cutting you slack
    Just taking what ever he needs
    Diamonds for eyes
    As he begins
    On that two wheeler from hell on the wind

    Now he's setting the tune
    They know the stare down is soon
    Vengeance comes at high noon
    Redeemer redeemer of souls

    On the skyline
    The stranger draws near
    Feel the heat and he's shaking with fear

    On the skyline
    The stranger draws near
    Feel the heat and he's shaking with fear

    Redeemer of Souls
  • Judas Priest released their first album (Rocka Rolla) in 1974. Forty years later, they issued their seventeenth studio album, Redeemer of Souls, taking care to retain their classic sound on the title track. "It's instantly Judas Priest as soon as it comes in, guitarist Richie Faulkner told us. "It's very instant and very direct. It's simple, but it's what you'd expect from a Judas Priest song. It was the first song that got put out to the public just to let you know that Priest is back and this is what it's about, really."
  • Lead singer Rob Halford created a character for this song, which can be seen on the album cover. "It's another song of empowerment for me in the lyrical message," he told us. "It's got the little bit of the fantasy element, creating a figure, this redeemer of souls.

    What is he? He's not a destructive guy, he's coming to bring that redemption with Metal, and I think that's a very iconic type of representation for Judas Priest."
  • There is on Old West theme on this track that runs concurrently with the extraterrestrial concept. This makes some sense when you consider where Halford found inspiration for the lyric: the 2011 movie Cowboys & Aliens.

    Keeping with the Old West motif, we hear about a showdown at "high noon." Guitarist Glenn Tipton said: "It's a very natural Judas Priest song. And I love the high noon reference, as well, which to me typifies that god, half-molten metal, half-human walking down some sort of deserted cowboy town with tumbleweeds and dust and dirt. That's the picture it conjures up for me." (Here's our full interview with Judas Priest .)
  • Redeemer of Souls debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 album chart, the British band's first Top 10 disc. Judas Priest's previous highest charting LP was 2008's Nostradamus, which peaked at #11.

    Hey There Lonely Girl Lyrics


    Hey There Lonely Girl, lonely girl
    Let me make your broken heart like new
    Oh, my lonely girl, lonely girl
    Don't you know this lonely boy loves you

    Ever since he broke your heart you seem so lost
    Each time you pass my way
    How I long to take your hand
    And say don't cry, I'll kiss your tears away

    Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
    Let me make your broken heart like new
    Oh my lonely girl, lonely girl
    don't you know this lonely boy loves you

    You think that only his two lips can kiss your lips
    And make your heart stand still
    But once you're in my arms you'll see
    No one can kiss your lips the way I will

    Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
    Let me make your broken heart like new

    Oh, my lonely girl, lonely girl
    Don't you know this lonely girl loves you
    Oh my lonely girl, lonely girl
    Don't you know this lonely boy loves you

    Hey There Lonely Girl
  • This was originally "Hey There Lonely Boy," released by Ruby and the Romantics in 1963, where it hit #27 in the US.
  • Holman didn't want to record the song, but did so after being pressured by his wife, who was also his producer.
  • This was Holman's only Top 40 hit. He switched styles and moved to his own gospel label as this was climbing the charts.
  • A version by Robert John went to #31 US in 1981. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)
