Payback Lyrics

Front of the line, straight past the bouncer
Lookin' so fine that the band announced ya
Gotcha tight jeans on and your hair done right
All your girlfriends say we throwin' down tonight
Let me guess, somebody done you wrong
And you're lookin' for a way to get your feel good on
Get some pictures on the Instagram and show him what he's missin'
Straight no chaser, girl on a mission

Mmm, baby I could be your Payback
Hey, gonna help you get your sway back
Take ya to the dance floor, I'ma lean ya way back
Yeah, I'ma lean ya way back

Gonna have a real good time
Don't worry 'bout your tab, girl, put it on mine
We can show him what he can't have
If you wanna play that game
Yeah, baby I can be your payback

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

I bet he's sittin' at home all alone in the dark
Probably textin' like mad, wants to know where you are
'Cause he didn't even know what he had 'til he lost it
Should have known runnin' around was gonna cost him
No way that girl is as pretty as you
I never even seen her but I know that it's true
If he was even half a man he wouldn't have blown it
Thinkin' 'bout it that way feels good don't it

Mmm, baby I could be your payback
Hey, gonna help you get your sway back
Take ya to the dance floor, I'ma lean ya way back
Yeah, I'ma lean ya way back

Gonna have a real good time
Don't worry 'bout your tab, girl, put it on mine
We can show him what he can't have
If you wanna play that game
Yeah, baby I can be your payback

Da da da da da da da

Payback

This Aaron Eshuis, Neil Mason and Ryan Hurd penned lighthearted track finds Gary LeVox singing of a girl trying to make her boyfriend jealous. "It's a fun little revenge tune that's awesome and I think the girls are going to love that one," keyboardist Jay DeMarcus told Radio.com . "We didn't write the song, we found the song, or it found us. It's revenge driven in a funny way. What he's saying is basically, 'Let's dance together at this club tonight. We'll take some pictures and put them out on the Internet and he'll see it and it'll piss him off and he'll wonder.'"

Your Woman Lyrics

Just tell me what you've got to say to me
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth
It comes as no surprise at all you see
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through

Now I know your heart, I know your mind
You don't even know you're bein' unkind
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
Just use me up and then you walk away
Boy, you can't play me that way

Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you

[Chorus:]
I could never be Your Woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman

When I saw my best friend yesterday
She said she never liked you from the start
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same
But you always knew you held my heart

And you're such a charming, handsome man
Now I think I finally understand
Is it in your genes
I don't know
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure
Why did you play me this way

Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you

[Chorus]

Well I guess what they say is true
I could never spend my life with a man like you

[Chorus]

Your Woman

White Town is Jyoti Mishra, who sings and records dance music using synthesizers and samples. This is by far his best-known song.

This samples a song from the 1930s by British singer Al Bowlly called "My Woman." Mishra heard it on the Pennies From Heaven soundtrack.

Mishra: "The lyrics are very nasty and, from a certain perspective, misogynist. I thought it might be an interesting twist to sample the spooky part and write a song around it that had different perspectives. The music was done fairly quickly - the lyrics took bloody ages!"

Mishra recorded this on an 8-track in his spare room in Derby and played it to his girlfriend, who encouraged him to do something with it. He could only afford to press 5 copies, and he sent one of them to the DJ Simon Mayo at Radio One, who started playing it. It became the most requested track of the week and as a consequence he landed a deal with EMI. It sold 165,000 copies the week it was released shooting to #1 despite his refusal to appear in a video or on British TV to promote it.

Mishra sings the song from a woman's perspective, making it a rare example of a hit record with a gender reversal. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)

Al Bowlly's vocals was first recorded in November 1932, and they finally reached the top of the chart 64 years later as part of this song. No other UK #1 single has such a time gap before reaching the summit.

Vida

In December 2013 FIFA and Sony Music Entertainment launched a worldwide music contest inviting submissions for an original song to be recorded by Ricky Martin for the official World Cup album. The winning entry was submitted by Elijah King, a Miami-based singer/songwriter who shares a Puerto Rican heritage with Martin.

The bilingual English and Spanish-language tune was produced and arranged by Salaam Remi (The Fugees, Amy Winehouse and Nas). It was released as the second official single from One Love, One Rhythm – The 2014 FIFA World Cup Official Album.

The song title "Vida" translates into English as "Life." The lyrics are indeed a celebration of life.

Martin previously recorded "La Copa de la Vida (The Cup of Life)", which served as the Official Song of the 1998 FIFA World Cup. It was the track that made the Puerto Rican an international star, taking off after he performed it on the 1999 Grammy Awards.

Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis Lyrics

After one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six I'll bring you out to the car
By number nine with my head on the bar
And it's sad but true out of cash and i-o-u's

I got desperate desires, and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar get you out of the cold
My sober straight face gets you out of your clothes.
And they're scared that we know all the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home.

I will lie awaken and lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say.

Barely conscious in the door where you stand.
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes your demands
You laugh at every word trying too hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone

Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
And you're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart.

Cause its all you can be
You're a drunk
And you're scared
Its ladies night all the girls drink for free.

I will lie awake and lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say.

I will lie awake and lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say.

Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis

This song is about lead singer Jesse Lacey's fear that he will one day burn out or fall from grace.

Diego Maradona is an Argentine soccer player who led his country to the World Cup in 1986, faltered due to drug use. Elvis Presley had a brilliant singing career before drugs and health problems took their toll. Both men had spectacular talents but lost it all. (thanks, Matt - Wiltshire, England, for above 2)

Lady In Black Lyrics

She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
And destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.

She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life.

But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end.
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.

"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.
There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconceptions.
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away.

Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me.

Trouble Lyrics

Oh no I see
A spider web it's tangled up with me
And I lost my head
The thought of all the stupid things I said
Oh no what's this
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done

And oh I never meant to cause you Trouble
And oh and I never meant to do you wrong
And oh well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no I never meant to do you harm

Oh no I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble

Singing out
Oh I never meant to cause you trouble
Oh I never meant to do you wrong
Oh well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me

Trouble

This is about a guy who realizes too late that he has gotten himself into something really bad and can't get himself out. He figures out that he got there by hurting another person badly and is trying to apologize to that person.

Two music videos were made. The original UK version, directed by Sophie Muller (No Doubt, Garbage), finds the band in the Wild West, where frontman Chris Martin is held captive in a warehouse and tied to a chair. It was shot at a ranch in Newhall, California.

The US version, directed by Tim Hope, features the band members as two-dimensional figures who get caught up in a tornado and land in suburbia. The clip won for Best Art Direction at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards.

Song for My Father Lyrics

How I wish that I could tell you
It’s to you that I would run
You were the place that I could always rest my head
When my world had come undone

‘Cause I’ve been wrestling with my demons
They’re telling me I have no choice
How I wish that I could lean upon you now
Amidst the chaos and the noise

Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart

You were the well to cool my fury
Deep and calm your waters feel
Your quiet words a salve to soothe my wayward soul
It was there I learned to heal

Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart

Oh I hope that you can hear me
Through the ravages of time
You have carried me though more than you could know
I still feel your hand in mine

Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart

Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart (Unwavering heart)

Song for My Father

Many of the tracks on Shine On were inspired by the death of Sarah McLachlan's adoptive dad, Jack, who succumbed to cancer in December of 2010. The singer also had to deal with the divorce from her husband Ashwin Sood, after 11 years of marriage and the upheaval of switching labels (McLachan released Shine On on Verve after decades at Arista). The resulting songs are personal and contemplative, as she moves into the second half of her life battered and bruised but with hope. She told Jam! Music : "You don't get to this age unscathed. We've all been through a whole lot at this point in our lives and it's a bit of a turning point where you get to look at the rest of your life and see how it will play out. What have I done up until now? How am I going to make the rest of my life look? It's a real pivotal time, and it certainly has been with mine these last five years."

"I wanted to try to emulate that in the music," McLachlan added. "My dad's death had a profound impact in my life. It took a couple of years to find out what that meant to me, and what he meant to me."

Whippoorwills call, evenin' is nigh
Hurry to My Blue Heaven
Turn to the right, there's a little white light
Will lead you to my Blue Heaven
You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
Little nest that nestles where the roses bloom
Molly and me, and the baby makes three
We're happy in my, in my Blue Heaven
You're gonna see a smilin' face, fireplace, cozy room
And a little nest nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me, and the baby is three
We're so happy in my Blue Heaven
We're happy in my Blue Heaven
We're happy in my Blue Heaven!

My Blue Heaven

This was written in 1927. Walter Donaldson supplied the music and George Whiting wrote the lyrics.

This didn't become popular until about two years after it was written, when Eddie Cantor featured it in his successful stage musical Ziegfeld Follies of 1927. Afterwards, it became very popular for vaudeville productions.

During the first season of the TV show M*A*S*H, this was used frequently on the show. Examples: A Korean version on the PA system, Hawkeye and Trapper singing it before going to R&R in Tokyo (Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts) and Hot Lips singing it at a "no-talent show" (Dear, Dad Again).

This has been covered by the Smashing Pumpkins (who added extra lyrics), Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Al Jolson (who appeared in The Jazz Singer, the first "talkie"), and Dolly Parton.

There are 2 different movies called My Blue Heaven, and both used this song. The first was a 1950 musical where it was performed by the stars, Betty Grable and Dan Dailey. The second was a 1990 comedy starring Steve Martin and Rick Moranis. Fats Domino's version was the theme song in that one.

Besides the films in which it was used as the title song, this appeared in the movies Never a Dull Moment in 1943 (sung by Frances Langford), Moon over Las Vegas in 1944 (performed by Gene Austin, who recorded it for the album Victor, which sold over five million copies and held a record until Bing Crosby's "White Christmas"), the 1955 biographical musical Love Me or Leave Me, and the 1959 film The Five Pennies (performed by Bob Crosby).

When She Loved Me Lyrics

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour spent together
Lives within my heart

And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when was happy so was I
When She Loved Me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be

And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say I will always love you

Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me and held me
Just like she use to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour spent together
Lives within my heart
When she loved me

When She Loved Me

This song is sung off-screen in Toy Story 2 by the character Jessie in a flashback sequence that explains her history. Sarah McLachlan performs the vocals of the ballad, while actress Joan Cusack does the speaking voice of Jessie.

The song was written by Randy Newman. McLachlan recalled during a Reddit AMA: "Funny story. When that song came through our office, my manager said 'you're probably not going to like this.' And so I listened to it, and I started crying right away, because Randy Newman singing that song reminded me of Kermit the Frog singing 'It's Not Easy Being Green.' So I instantly fell in love with it, and I got to tell Randy that story, and he loved it too."

This was nominated for the 2000 Oscar for Best Original Song, but the award went to Phil Collins for "You'll Be In My Heart."

Cover versions include ones by Steps on their 2012 album Light Up the World, Michael Crawford for his LP The Disney Album and Bridgit Mendler from the compilation record Disneymania 7.

Ain't That A Shame

This is a heartache song about a breakup that was the other partner's fault. Domino wrote it with Dave Bartholomew, who worked on most of Domino's hits.

This was the first song to crossover from the R&B charts to the mostly white pop charts of the day. Like several other songs previously heard exclusively in black bars or nightclubs, this was covered by the crooning Pat Boone. Concerned about how educated, upper-class whites would respond to the title, he originally wanted it changed to "Isn't That a Shame," but the producers realized the original title would sell better and kept it.

Boone's cover was a huge hit, going to #1 on the US Pop charts and reaching #7 in the UK. This gave Domino's original recording a boost, and helped it cross over.

This was Fats Domino's first hit song that was not recorded in New Orleans, where the singer lived. He recorded it on March 15, 1955 in a Hollywood studio when he was on tour in Los Angeles. Imperial Records had the engineers compress Fats' vocals and speed up the song a bit to make the song sound less bluesy and give it more mainstream appeal. This also made it more difficult for other artists to cover the song.

In 1960, Domino recorded a sequel called "Walking To New Orleans," where he leaves and goes back to his hometown.

This was used in the 1972 movie American Graffiti. It was also used in the movie October Sky. (thanks, duff - Paris'suburb, France)

Cheap Trick's 1978 cover went to #35 in the US and helped make their At Budokan album a huge hit. A portion of the first guitar solo in their version, played by Rick Nielsen, is lifted from the opening harmonica riff from the Beatles' "Please Please Me." That same riff is also used in the guitar outro to the track "The House is Rockin' (Domestic Problems)" from the band's 1980 album Dream Police.
According to Nielsen, Cheap Trick got the idea to record the song after hearing John Lennon's 1975 cover version. (thanks, DeeTheWriter - Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation, and Sam - Lincoln, NE)

In 2007, this was used in commercials for Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. (thanks, Taylor - Bealeton, VA)

This was the first song that John Lennon learned to play. Lennon later recorded the song in a duet with Yoko Ono, and his fellow Beatle Paul McCartney also recorded the song.
