A View To A Kill Lyrics

Meeting you with A View To A Kill
Face to face in secret places feel the chill
Nightfall covers me
But you know, the plans I'm making
Still oversee
Could it be the whole earth opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
The weekends why, until we

[Chorus]
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire

The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing still
The first crystal tears
Fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years
To drench your skin with lover's rosy stain
A chance to find a phoenix for the flame
A chance to die, but can we

[Chorus]

When all we see is the view to a kill

A View To A Kill

This was the theme song to the 1985 James Bond movie of the same name starring Roger Moore and Grace Jones. It is the only theme from a Bond movie to hit #1 in America.

The story behind this song, according to the bassist John Taylor, was that he approached the longtime Bond producer, Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli, while extremely intoxicated when they were both at a party. He stated that he was a long time fan (Major Bond geek would be more accurate. An Aston Martin was said to be one of his first "rock star" purchases, and he frequently mentioned his Bond video collection in interviews) of the series, but the music for the last few movies had been mediocre. He then offered to have his band fix the problem and Broccoli took the idea under advisement.

If you are a complete Duran Duran nut, you will notice during the video that there seems to be communication between three band members (Le Bon, Rhodes, and Roger Taylor), while the other two members (John and Andy Taylor) are doing things like shooting the deployed cameras and setting Rhodes's ear mike to explode. John and Andy were the members who left for Power Station. The other three made up the band Arcadia. (thanks, Michelle - Seattle, WA, for above 2)

This was the last single Duran Duran released before they took time off to pursue side projects. John and Andy Taylor joined Robert Palmer to form The Power Station, while Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor formed Arcadia. A year later Le Bon, Rhodes and John Taylor continued recording as Duran Duran.

Duran Duran performed this at Live Aid in 1985. At the time, it was the #1 song in the US, and their performance was the first song broadcast by ABC as part of their coverage of the event. MTV broadcast most of the show in the US, while the BBC aired it in England.

Looking back at this song during a 2012 interview with the A.V.Club , John Taylor commented: "Bond songs have to be big songs, don't they? They have to have the grandiosity. It's like designing a Rolls-Royce. You want it to be completely state of the art, but it's always going to have the honking great radiator grill on the front. There's certain criteria that have to be fulfilled. But I think we nailed it with that song. We really did nail it."

Lights Go Out Lyrics

When the Lights Go Out and the mercury rises
Angels fall to the other side
Fear meets lust just us colliding
When the lights go out we own the night

Blood red pumps up against your body
Beating like drums sucked in the fire
Wrong feels right don't try to fight it
'Cause the night dissolves into desire

When the light go out the walls come down
We sound just like animals
Inhibitions lost and lines get crossed
You get me off when the lights go out

Now I lay you down but no ones sleeping
Now I lay you down here in the dark

Lights go out to shouts and screaming
No one gets out without a scar

When the lights go out the walls come down
We sound just like animals
Inhibitions lost and lines get crossed
You get me off when the lights go out

I can feel it coming
Feel your body humming
Pushing buttons when the lights go, lights go

I can feel it coming
Feel your body humming
Self destructing when the lights go, lights go

When the lights go out the walls come down
We sound just like animals
Inhibitions lost and lines get crossed
You get me off when the lights go

When the lights go out the walls come down
We sound just like animals
Inhibitions lost and lines get crossed
You get me off when the lights go out
When the lights go out

Lights Go Out

The first single from Do You Wanna Start A War?, this was released on April 29, 2014 across all digital platforms. Asked by Idaho radio station 100.3 The X Rocks about Fozzy's musical approach on the album, singer and WWE wrestling superstar Chris Jericho replied: "We wanted to do something a little different. We love, obviously, Avenged Sevenfold or Five Finger Death Punch, we love Iron Maiden, we love Ozzy. But we also love Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and Queen and U2 and The Beatles, bands that would always broaden their horizons, but still sound… the core of the band's sound was still there, but they would different things."

"And when we were listening to a lot of songs on rock radio, we felt that they fit a certain pattern," he continued. "We wanted to do something that was different from that, and that's what 'Lights Go Out' kind of came from that mindset. So it is a different type of tune, but we wanted to do that and shake things up and take a chance."

"You know, when you do something like that, sometimes your hardcore fans will go, 'Well, this isn't what we've heard before,' but they'll eventually like it," Jericho added. "And you do this to appeal to new fans, and that's what we're getting from 'Lights Go Out', who'd never heard Fozzy before, who'd never listened to Fozzy. 'Man, you guys rock! This song is amazing!' That's what you want."

Good God Lyrics

You came into my life
Without a single thing
I gave into your ways
Which left me with nothing
I've given empty smiles
I've dealt with all your games
I wish you'd bet right now
I had to let you win
Won't you get the fuck out of my face, now!
Won't you get the fuck out of my face, now!
In the sea of life you're just a minnow
Live your life insecure
Feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my mind
I scream without a sound
How could you take away
Everything that I was
Made me a fuckin' slave
Your face that I despise
Your heart inside that's gray
I came today to say
You're fucked in every way

Won't you get the fuck out of my face, now!
Won't you get the fuck out of my face, now!

In the sea of life you're just a minnow
Live your life insecure
Feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my mind
You stole my life
Without a sigh
You sucked me dry

Won't you get the fuck out of my face, now!

In the sea of life you're just a minnow
Live your life insecure
Feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my mind
You stole my life
Without a sigh
You sucked me dry

Good God

Lead singer Jonathan Davis: "It's about a guy I knew in school who I thought was a my friend, but who f**ked me. He came into my life with nothing, hung out at my house, lived off me, and made me do sh*t I didn't really wanna do. I was into new romantic music and he was a mod, and he'd tell me if I didn't dress like a mod he wouldn't be my friend anymore. Whenever I had plans to go on a date with a chick he'd sabotage it, because he didn't have a date or nothing. He was a gutless f**king nothing. I haven't talked to him for years."

Like their song "Faget," a video was shot for this, but was never released. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 2)

Slowburn Lyrics

Slowburn

This song finds frontwoman Junita Stein expressing her impatience at the tortuous speed it takes in getting music released. "The very nature of any artist is to create, and then share this creation," she explained to Drowned in Sound . "Some art forms require more or less time going trough the machine, before exposing itself. The journey for an independent spirited artist in the 21st century requires the patience of a f--king saint. The challenge lies in maintaining inspired throughout the process. This song bottles my frustration at all of that."

Feel the chill
Which way to go

I see the words
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain

Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow

I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release it

Oh dear dad

I am myself
Like you somehow

I'll wait up in the dark
For you to speak to me
I'll open up
Release me
Release me

Release

This very cathartic song began as a droning riff guitarist Stone Gossard started playing. The rest of the band started forming the track, and Eddie Vedder walked up to the microphone and poured out the words that would make up most of the lyrics. It was a very emotional song for Vedder, who was thinking about the pain and loss he had been through: he found out as a teenager that the man he thought was his father was actually his stepfather, and his real father died before they could connect. Eddie realized that the song had a similar meaning for his bandmates, who were still dealing with the death of Andrew Wood, who was the lead singer in Gossard and Jeff Ament's band before they formed Pearl Jam. "Release" was one of the first songs Eddie wrote with the band, and it's one that helped them find common ground. "We were strangers, but we were coming from a similar place," said Vedder.

At first, this song was almost 10 minutes long, as Vedder did "release" a lot of words when he started singing it.

Life For Me Lyrics

When the day's over and I have a second to myself
I lie on the sofa watching TV
Get on the computer and start checking up on everyone else
On everyone else

Looking at all the pictures
Up to all sorts of mischief
Some of them are ridiculous
Everything's there to see

Everyone looks so wasted
Totally off their faces
I feel so isolated
Everyone there but me

Why does it feel like I'm missing something?
"Been there and done that" was good for nothing
Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
This is the Life For Me (This is the life for me, yeah)

Tell me I'm normal for feeling like this
It's a bit early for a midlife crisis
Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

I'm not complaining but last night I hardly slept at all
But actually yes I am complaining
No energy left in me, the baby might have taken it all
'Cause I've hit the wall

Please don't think that I'm being rude
Honey I'm just not in the mood
I'm head to toe in baby food
So please will you give it a rest

It's not that I don't love you
And it's not that I don't want to
Honestly baby to tell you the truth
I feel like a bit of a mess

Why does it feel like I'm missing something?
"Been there and done that" was good for nothing
Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

Tell me I'm normal for feeling like this
It's a bit early for a midlife crisis
Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

I could never get bored of it
And most of the time I love this
But sometimes I get nostalgic
When actually I'm complete

Why does it feel like I'm missing something?
"Been there and done that" was good for nothing
Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

Tell me I'm normal for feeling like this
It's a bit early for a midlife crisis
Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
This is the life for me (This is the life for me, yeah)

Everything's perfect, yeah I'm as content as can be
This is the life for me (this is the life for me, yeah)

Life For Me

Allen's two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, are the driving force behind this song about a young mother keeping up with the news of her old party crew and wondering if she's missing out. The singer told Q magazine: "I was reading the papers and seeing my friends and peers doing what I had done before and feeling like, 'Have I made the right choice?' And I had made the right choice by the way, I love my children. They're the best things that have ever happened to me and I would trade all this in a second if I thought it was going to impact negatively on them."

Ana's Song Lyrics

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you

Ana's Song

Lead singer Daniel Johns wrote this about his fight with the eating disorder Anorexia (Ana = Anorexia). It references Lady Diana Spencer, as she also suffered from an eating disorder.

Silverchair are an Australian band. In most of their promotional materials, the band name does not have a capital letter, as they think it looks better all in lower case. The band had their first hits while still in their teens and were nicknamed "Nirvana in Pajamas." (thanks, Tariqa - Hamilton, New Zealand)

Daniel Johns: "It pretty much focuses on the story where the actor is a person with an obsessive compulsive disorder. She's compulsively washing her hands and hiding behind a psychological disorder. And it's basically lot's of visual stuff going on. It's got a story but it's very visual. We wanted to make a visual video but not a generic band rock performance video."(thanks, Beth - MN)

Benjamin Gillies: "The video is done by a lady in Australia called Cate Anderson. She'd actually done a short film for us before, for the song Emotion Sickness. Her ideas are really good and she's just kind of suited the kind of style that the video was going to be done for the Ana's Song." (thanks, Beth - MN)

Meteorite

This commentary on celebrity culture finds Carey working with an old collaborator, Q-Tip. She previously worked with the rapper and record producer on her 1997 single "Honey." Speaking to Radio.com prior to mixing the song, Carey admitted. "He's angry with me because he thinks that I didn't allow him to do his mix, but really it's okay. He loves me, we're going to make this work. And that's good because it's one of my favorite songs. I'm going to call him soon…I think we need to get that ready."

This contains a sample from "Goin' Up in Smoke," which was the title track of former Temptations vocalist Eddie Kendricks' 1976 solo album.

Abraham, Martin and John Lyrics

Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone

Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone

Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Someday soon, it's gonna be
One day

Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin'
Up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John

Abraham, Martin and John

This song is a tribute to those involved in the battle for civil rights. The title refers to Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy. The last verse in the song refers to "Bobby" - JFK's brother, Robert Kennedy. Everyone mentioned in the song has died ("has anybody here seen my old friend...") and this is symbolized by their progression over a hill.

This has been covered by the Brothers Four, Ray Charles, Kenny Rogers, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Mahalia Jackson, and Moms Mabley. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 2)

This was written by the rockabilly singer Dick Holler (who also wrote the novelty hit "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron"). Dion had just recovered from heroin addiction and was offered this as a possible comeback song. It made it to #4 on the Hot 100 and reestablished Dion in the music business.

Bob Dylan performed this on his 1980-81 tour. (thanks, Marti - Lynnwood, WA, for above 2)

Whitney Houston covered this song at her 1997 Washington DC concert, "Classic Whitney." It was filmed and turned into an HBO special. (thanks, David - NYC, NY)

Initially, Dion detested the song, but he has since come to understand its legacy, telling one interviewer, "I realized that what these four guys had in common was a dream... It was like they had the courage to believe that a state of love really can exist."

Dion claimed to have received over 4,000 letters thanking him for recording this song. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse Lyrics

On the back cover of this album is a personal treasure
This is my first and only self-portrait
I drew it when I was three and a half and entitled it
"Me. I Am Mariah."
Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title
Come on, I was only three and a half

It was a creative visualisation of how I saw myself
With the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken
I've kept this drawing private for so long
But because this album is a reflection
of some of the peaks and valleys that have made me who I am today
I've decided to share it with those of you who actually care
And have been here for me through it all
I've been through a lot, but I've always known me
I am Mariah

Along the way there have been a couple of nicknames
And I've inadvertently embodied many personas
Lately, they've been calling me
"The Elusive Chanteuse"
I like it

Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse

This is the title track of Carey's fourteenth studio album. The singer explained in a YouTube clip that the first half of its name is based on her "first and only self-portrait," which she drew when she was a child. "Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title. Come on, I was only three and a half," she chuckles in the clip. Her drawing is featured on the album's back cover.

Carey added that the second half of the album's title, "The Elusive Chanteuse," is a nickname she's adopted recently, following other personas like "Mimi" and "MC."

Summarizing the record's concept, Carey said: "This album is a reflection of some of the peaks and valleys that made me who I am today. I've always known me. I am Mariah."

Come on, step inside, and you will realize
Tell me what you need, tell me what to be
What's your vision?
You'll see, what do you expect of me?
I can't live that lie
Hate!

I sing my words, I'm fucked at dealing
with your life's Dead Bodies Everywhere
You

Really want me to be a good son why?
You make me feel like no one
Let me strip the plain, let me not give in
Free me of your life, inside my heart dies
Your dreams never achieved, don't lay that shit on me
Let me live my life

Hate!
I sing my words, I'm fucked at dealing
With your life's dead bodies everywhere

You!
Really want me to be a good son, why?
You make me feel like no one
You want me to be, something I can never ever be!
I sing my words, I thought that didn't
With your life's dead bodies everywhere

You!
Really want me to be a good son why?
You make me feel like no one
Dead bodies everywhere!

Dead Bodies Everywhere

This song tells how lead singer Jon Davis' dad wanted him to stay out of the music industry, since he experienced it himself. He wanted Jon to "become something I can never ever be" as depicted in the lyrics. Jon Davis told Artist Direct : " It's about me working in the mortuary at the coroner's office [Laughs]. It's also about my parents not wanting me to be a musician." (thanks, Danny - Clifton, NJ)

Korn are about sound more than anything else, and Brian "Head" Welch's high chime-y melody plus James "Munky" Shaffer's Peter Frampton-esque guitar talkbox was a memorable combination. Welch recalled to Artist Direct: "I was going for a toy box sound. You open up a jewelry box or one of those little kid things and it does that sound. It's all pretty. Then, the dark thing Munky did with the effect is chilling. That eerie, evil sound with that toy box thing was one-of-a-kind. I love that."
