Ender Will Save Us All Lyrics

It's just like you to contest
Wear it like a label on your breast
Don't you see what this takes of me?

A certain callousness complies
With your charm and in your pride
A hopeful look draped in despise

I want to give you
Whatever you need
What is it you need?
Is it what I need?
I want to give you
Whatever you need
What is it you need?
Is it within me?

It's hard to explain
How I am getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe
That I would let myself get so wrapped into you

There's gotta be something
That would be worthwhile for me to give to you
We need a connection
But you seem to push me far away from you
From you, from you

The harder I push
The further I fall
Well, you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always
Always, always be wrong

I want to give you
Whatever you need
What is it you need?
Is it what I need?
I want to give you
Whatever you need
What is it you need?
Is it within me?

It's hard to explain
How I am getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe
That I would let myself get so wrapped into you

There's gotta be something
That would be worthwhile for me to give to you
We need a connection
But you seem to push me far away from you
From you, from you

The harder I push
The further I fall
Well, you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always
Always, always be wrong

Try not to be wrong

Ender Will Save Us All

This song draws its name from how Chris Carrabba got back together with an old friend he had fallen out with though sharing the Ender books. They read the four books in the series at the same time, and discussing them rekindled the friendship.

Carrabba wrote the song when they weren't getting along, which is what inspired the lyric. After they reconnected, he decided to name the song after the books because they essentially saved their friendship. "Ender" never appears in the lyric.

Chris Carrabba has listed his name as "Chris Ender Carrabba" in some instances, including on the "Hands Down" single and Summers Kiss EP. This was done as a joke: His real middle name is Andrew, and in the Ender books, the main character's real name is Andrew Wiggin.

The Ender books were written by Orson Scott Card, and are about a boy named Ender Wiggin who battles aliens in an attempt to save the Earth.

Carrabba wrote this song when he was in a pre-Dashboard Confessional band called Vacant Andys. Originally called "Ender," he changed the title to "Ender Will Save Us All" when he recorded it as Dashboard Confessional.

For Reasons Unknown Lyrics

I pack my case, I check my face
I look a little bit older
I look a little bit colder
With one deep breath, and one big step
I move a little bit closer, I move a little bit closer
For Reasons Unknown

I caught my stride, I flew and flied
I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
Well, my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes - they don't see you no more
And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

It was an open chair
We sat down in the open chair
I said, if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
But my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes - they don't see you no more
And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you at all

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

I said, my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more
And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

For Reasons Unknown

This song was written by The Killers on the road, while they were touring with Louis XIV. Flowers recalled to NME: "It was written really quickly, and it's got a real urgency about it because of that."

The song was recorded on Louis XIV's bus and Flowers plays bass on it whilst the band's usual bassist Mark Stoermer supplied the guitar work. It's the only song on any Killers record where Flowers plays bass.

Last Train To Clarksville Lyrics

Last Train To Clarksville

This was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, a songwriting team who came up with many songs for the Monkees. They also wrote songs for Chubby Checker and Jay & the Americans.

Boyce and Hart wrote this as a protest to the Vietnam War. They had to keep this quiet in order to get it recorded, but it is about a guy who gets drafted and goes to fight in the war. The train is taking him to an army base, and he knows he may die in Vietnam. At the end of the song he states, "I don't know if I'm ever coming home."

Bobby Hart said of writing this song: "We were just looking for a name that sounded good. There's a little town in Northern Arizona I used to go through in the summer on the way to Oak Creek Canyon called Clarksdale. We were throwing out names, and when we got to Clarksdale, we thought Clarksville sounded even better. We didn't know it at the time, [but] there is an Air Force base near the town of Clarksville, Tennessee - which would have fit the bill fine for the story line. We couldn't be too direct with The Monkees. We couldn't really make a protest song out of it - we kind of snuck it in."

Hart got the idea for the lyrics when he turned on the radio and heard the end of The Beatles "Paperback Writer." He thought Paul McCartney was singing "Take the last train," and decided to use the line when he found out McCartney was actually singing "Paperback Writer." Hart knew that The Monkees TV series was pitched as a music/comedy series in the spirit of The Beatles movie A Hard Day's Night, so he knew emulating The Beatles would be a winner. To do that, he made sure to put a distinctive guitar riff in this song, and wrote in the "Oh No-No-No, Oh No-No-No" lyrics as a response to the Beatles famous "Yeah Yeah Yeah."

The only Monkee to appear on this song was Micky Dolenz, who sang lead. The four members of the group were chosen from over 400 applicants to appear on a TV show based on The Beatles movie A Hard Day's Night. The show was about a fictional band, so the members were chosen more for their looks and acting ability than for their musical talent.

Session musicians played on the Monkees albums, usually some combination of Glen Campbell, Leon Russell, James Burton, David Gates, Carol Kaye , Jim Gordon and Hal Blaine. According to the liner notes on the 1994 reissue of the album, however, members of a group called the Candy Store Prophets did the instrumental backing on this track at a session that took place July 25, 1966 at RCA Victor Studios in Hollywood. The Candy Store Prophets were Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart's band, and included Boyce on acoustic guitar, Gerry McGee on electric guitar, Larry Taylor on bass and Billy Lewis on drums. Additional musicians on this track were Wayne Erwin and Louie Shelton on guitar, and Gene Estes on percussion.

Often reported as having played guitar on this track is Jesse Ed Davis, a Native American whose accomplishment included backing George Harrison at the Concert for Bangla Desh and playing the solo on Jackson Browne's first hit, "Doctor My Eyes."

This was The Monkees' first single. It was released shortly after their TV show started on NBC and got a lot of publicity as a result. The Monkees followed it up with another hit, "I'm A Believer," and had several more chart entries before their show was canceled in 1968. Eventually, the group wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. (thanks to Lucy at Monkeeland.com for helping us out)

When this song was released as a single, it went straight to #1, knocking "96 Tears" by ? & the Mysterians down to #2.

The Monkees took a lot of heat when they became successful recording artists without playing on their songs. Their drummer Micky Dolenz explained in The Wrecking Crew film: "I think there was a lot of resentment in the recording industry that we’d come out of nowhere, left field, and sort of just shot right to the top without having to kind of go through the ropes. The music industry back then was pretty crooked, and some people say even to this day. And I didn’t know at the time anything about the business end of it, but all of the sudden, the radio stations, the rack jobbers, the distributors, all these people that had a lot of power at that time - all of the sudden, they had to start playing the Monkees songs; they had to start racking them, they had to start distributing them. They had no choice. It was just so huge because of the television show. And that’s the first time anything like that had ever happened. And I think that probably created a lot of resentment."

There is a certain lyrical dissonance in this song, as the upbeat music is contrasted with lyrics about being shipped off to war. Carol Kaye , who played bass on the session, told us, "The tempo of the tune was a good tempo. And that's the main thing is to keep that tempo going. Back in the '60s, you're playing for people who dance. And if the tempo is 1-2-3-4, that's a dance tempo. So you're going to keep the tempo up, that's important. So no, the mood of the song is not critical if the tempo is high, if the tempo is fast. If it's slow, yeah, it's kind of critical, and it depends upon how much is happening in the tune, too."

You Didn't Have to Be So Nice Lyrics

You Didn't Have to Be So Nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You came upon a quiet day (ooh)
You simply seemed to take your place (ooh)
I knew that it would be that way (ooh)
The minute that I saw your face (ooh)

And when we've had a few more days (when we've had a few more days)
I wonder if I'll get to say (wonder if I'll get to say)
You didn't have to be so nice (be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway (would have liked)

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You didn't have to be so nice (didn't have to be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway (would have liked you anyway)
If you had just looked once or twice (once or twice)
And gone upon your quiet way (quiet way)

You Didn't Have to Be So Nice

This paean to how nice John Sebastian was being being treated by his girl was one of Lovin' Spoonful's poppier offerings. Sebastian recalled to Uncut magazine: "We started off in a world of 45 singles, so our only game still was three minutes of heaven every time out. That was all. We thought of it as four man Phil Spector music. We wanted it to have that big quality, but we didn't want to hire the Wrecking Crew."

"Our producer Eric Jacobsen understood something about this funny hybrid that we were working on," he continued. "Things like the chimes on 'You Didn't Have to Be So Nice' were our attempts at creating that kind of vibe: harmonica, slide whistles and penny whistles. I hate calling it folk-rock. They called The Byrds folk-rock and then they were too lazy to come up with something else for our band, but we weren't really drawing from the Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan catalogue. It was a time of a lot of seriousness, and a lot of fake seriousness, and people talking about Important Things. And Loving Spoonful didn't really go for that. We were just trying to entertain."

Brian Wilson stated the Lovin' Spoonful's vocal layering on this song inspired The Beach Boys hit "God Only Knows."

A cover by Amy Grant and Kevin Costner is sung during the end credits of Costner's 1997 film, The Postman.

Boom Lyrics

I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D.
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

[Chorus]
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the Lasal
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
How you like me now?

We rep. the South, so what you talking about
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do
Me and my crew, we stay true, old school or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot.

Boom

P.O.D. lead singer Sonny Sandoval manages to rhyme "masses" with "Calabasas" (a suburb of Los Angeles) in this song about the joys of traveling the world and spreading your message. Much of Sandoval's message is driven by his Christian faith, which is apparent in the lyrics, "Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word."

Sandoval shows a lot of swagger in this song, but in his 2012 Songfacts interview , he explained: "I love what I do, but a lot of this is just a facade. It comes down to us being human and loving one another and taking care of each other. There's so much deception that takes your focus off of just loving people and serving people. I've been on the red carpets, I've been on the private jets. Those are all nice moments and what have you. But at the same time, it all ends. I write music, I play music because some kid is listening. It's not to sell records."

This was the third single off the band's breakout album Satellite, which was released on September 11, 2001. They almost always play the song at their shows, and for many years, they used it as the opener.

Some of the movies to use this song include Rollerball (2002), Grind (2003), and Biker Boyz (also 2003, this one used the Crystal Method Remix).

Gimme The Car

This song is about someone trying to talk his dad into letting him have the car for the night for the sole purpose of date-raping someone he knows, probably by intoxicating her and taking advantage while she is helpless. Lead singer/songwriter Gordon Gano has said that this song is in no way autobiographic, but rather a snapshot of teen angst that (almost) everyone has encountered at least once. He also says that it's one of his parents least favorite Femmes songs, though they are always supportive of his musical ventures. (thanks, James - Iowa City, IA)

Gordon Gano was expelled from his school because of this song. He was asked to play an appropriate song for an assembly and he played this instead. The Femmes made a reference to this event in a song called "Kiss Off." When Gano sings, "this will go down on your permanent record," he is referring to his expulsion.

Along with "Ugly," this is a bonus track featured on the reissue of The Femmes debut 1983 album. It can also be found on the compilation album Add It Up: 1983-1993. (thanks, Kristy - La Porte City, IA)

All Alright Lyrics

Made me grow
Then you cut me down
A north wind on a garden growin'
You made me think you were mine
Then you changed your mind
I'm lost as a feather
In a hurricane
There's no way to measure
If I'll ever ok, ok let me tell you
There's no good reason why
I can't move on
I lay my heart on these tracks
When your train comes along

And it was All Alright
Now it's all all wrong
That's just a-how
It goes when you're gone

You may not realize
All the lies at the time but
The truth will find you
That storm is gonna come
Gonna wash you away like Sodom and Gomorrah

There's no good reason why
We can't move on
I lay my heart on these tracks
When your train comes along

And it was all alright
Now it's all all wrong
That's just a-how
It goes when your gone

Go out in circles
Like an old golden bed
As cold as the pillow
By your empty nightstand
Then somthin' comes over me
I lose my head
I guess God did not make me
A one woman man

I'd have a lot to give
If I still gave a damn
That's just how
It goes when your gone

And it was all alright
Now it's all all wrong
But that's just how
It goes when your gone

And it was all alright
Now it's all wrong
And that's just a-how
It goes when your gone
When your gone
When your long long gone

All Alright

This story of heartbreak and deception is the first single from Zac Brown Band's second EP, The Grohl Sessions, Vol. 1. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl both produced and played drums on the record.

Zac Brown had only praises for both Dave Grohl and the recording process. "We have a lot of freedom now that we didn't have before. We can record this amazing music and within two weeks, three weeks put it out to the people," Brown said in a behind-the-scenes video. "We just opened up to Dave and said, 'What do you think about this?' He said, 'Were going to track it to tape, we're not going to use any computers.' I just felt in my gut that it was the thing to do. I felt like everything I've ever seen him do was great."

Grohl told Rolling Stone about his work with the Zac Brown Band, saying: "The band is so good they can be tracked live; we didn't f--k with computers, we tracked live, four-part harmonies around one microphone. It's rocking. People are like, 'Oh, it's country.' 'No, it's not, it's like the Allman Brothers.' 'No, it's not, it's jam band.' I don't even know what you would call it, it's f---ing great."

Let us burn one
From end to end
And pass it over
To me my friend
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow
To light me up before I go

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna Burn One Down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

My choice is what I choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm
It shouldn't bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be
And if your causin' no harm
Then you're alright with me

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

Herb the gift from the earth
And what's from the earth
Is of the greatest worth
So before you knock it try it first
You'll see it's a blessing
And it's not a curse

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one, uh

When I Think About Angels Lyrics

Why does the color of my coffee match your eyes
Why do I see you when a stranger passes by
I swear I hear you in the whisper of the wind
I feel you when the sun is dancin' on my skin
And when it's raining
You won't find me complainin' 'cause

When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven then
I think about angels
When I Think About Angels
I think about you

The taste of sugar sure reminds me of your kiss
I like the way that they
Both linger on my lips
Kisses remind me of a field of butterflies
Must be the way my heart is fluttering inside
Beautiful distraction
You make every thought a chain reaction

When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven then
I think about angels
When I think about angels
I think about you

Anywhere I go
Anything I do
Everything around me baby
Makes me think of you

When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven then
I think about angels
When I think about angels
I think about you

When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven then
I think about angels
When I think about angels
I think about you

When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven then
I think about angels
When I think about angels
I think about you

When I Think About Angels

Although this song, written by O'Neal with Roxie Dean and Sonny Tillis, is about the obsessive nature of romantic love, it was inspired by two other important loves in the singer's life: her dogs. In our interview with O'Neal , she explained: "Well, it's dedicated to my dogs on my album and I always say they're like furry little angels that come into our lives. And we're so lucky to have them, because they're so loving and they just want to be with you, and they don't care what you do or where you go. There's that easiness that you get with your pets that you somehow don't get with people."

With this song, O'Neal became the first female Country singer to have her first two singles (the first being "There Is No Arizona") top the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart since Deana Carter's 1996-1997 feat (with "Strawberry Wine" and "We Danced Anyway").

When this song went to #1 on the Country chart, it overtook Montgomery Gentry's "She Couldn't Change Me." In response, the duo sent O'Neal an animal trap with a good-natured note saying: "Next time you come sneaking around us, little girl, you'd better be careful."

I heard today that you were gone
I had to stop and sing along
The song they played to say goodbye
A song that gave
Gave me back life

You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne

And on that day a child was born
To someone who you helped along
And helped see through his darkest times
Because of you, this child, she is mine

You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne

The words you said
You made me feel like they were all for me
The words you said
They will always be a part of me
The words you said
You made me feel like I was not alone
The words you said
You gave me all the strength to carry on

So to me you'll never fade
Your life you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne

Layne

This song was written as a tribute to the lead singer of Alice In Chains, Layne Staley. Layne passed away the same day Staind lead singer Aaron Lewis' daughter Zoe Jane was born. Alice In Chains was a big influence on Staind. Aaron felt that Layne's death was portrayed as a typical junkie rock and roll death. He thought Layne's life was never given a proper tribute to his life, and his influence on rock and roll still lives today. This song is an attempt to keep his memory alive.

Layne died on April 5, 2002. Eight years earlier on the same day, Kurt Cobain died. Both were addicted to drugs, but Kurt also used drugs to forget his stomach pains. R.I.P. Kurt and Layne. (thanks, Sarah - Toronto, Canada, for above 2)

Life of a party!
Let's live for today, we might not be here tomorrow
And they say I'm Too Wild
They said I'm too fun
They say it's too much
But too much ain't nothin' at all!
'Cause we just want more, (more)
We just want more,(more)

Every time I hear the music
I go crazy
Floating there you take me away
Higher we've ever been before
Take me to the clouds
Take me to the clouds
Take me to the clouds
Take me to the clouds

Every time I hit the club
I take my money, I spend it all
Standing on the couch just showing love
Don't give a damn
Don't give a fuck
Float me and take me away
High up in the clouds, never coming down
Somewhere out the space, never on the ground
Always turning up, never turning down
Another hundred grands
As soon as I turn around
Take me up to where I wanna be
Tired as fuck, but we don't wanna sleep
Mary Jane and them paper planes
Pouring shots, you better take this drink

And they say I'm too wild
They said I'm too fun
They say it's too much
But too much ain't nothin' at all!
Cause we just want more, (more)
We just want more, (more)
They say I'm too wild
They said I'm too fun
They say it's too much
But too much ain't nothin' at all!
'Cause we just want more, (more)
We just want more, (more)

Too Wild

This song features rapper Wiz Khalifa. Afrojack recalled to Rolling Stone: "The first time I went to sit down with Wiz, I just felt the vibe. I had 30 tracks I wanted to play him, but there were 20 club tracks and five hip-hop tracks and they were really . . . not awkward but unconventional. Not the kind of song you meet Wiz Khalifa and say, 'Oh, I want to play this song.'"

"We were just vibing," he continued, "and I played him that instrumental song I did and it worked out to be really special, completely different than anything that's in the market right now."
