One More Day (Stay With Me) Lyrics


Stay with me for just one more day

I have to make a move to somewhere miles away
The only hope we've got is just to smile and pray
Another lesson learned
Another page is turned
Give into your desire, say goodbye or play with fire, play with fire you'll get burned
Another lesson learned
Another page is turned
It's time I have to fly and then you say those precious words

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day

You make me lose my focus and the time of day
Just one minute in your arms, the night, it flies away
Another lesson learned
Another page is turned
Give into your desire, say goodbye or play with fire, play with fire you'll get burned
Another lesson learned
Another page is turned
It's time I have to fly and then you say those precious words

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day

I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day

Oh I think loving you could be so easy
Oh I think loving you could be so easy

I rate that heavenly girl, she's a keeper
Should be taking her home, make it deeper
Take that leisurely stroll by the beach
Then I've gotta leave country, now apply Visa
I'm gonna bottle our love, take a litre
See you in a couple of weeks
We're like a couple of freaks in Ibiza
Even if we're sat on the sofa, you just won me over

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day

I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day

One More Day (Stay With Me)
  • Example wrote this song with Technikal, who co-produced the entire Live Life Living album and Alex Smith of Metrophonic with whom he'd previously collaborated on "Watch The Sun Come Up."
  • Example: "Pianos as club hooks have worked well for me in the past so with this track I wanted to recapture some of that sunshine in my music. For me, 'One More Day' evokes all the great moments of 90s euphoria but I've put a bit of a twist on everything as it's 2014."

    "I've also added a little 8-bar rap for an injection of energy. Some fans on Twitter were begging me to rap again after my last few singles were just singing.'"
  • This was originally going to be titled "Stay with Me" but Example later changed it to "One More Day (Stay with Me)" to avoid confusion with the Sam Smith song of the same name.
  • The single release features remixes from Shadow Child, MJ Cole, and Dutch newcomer Erik Arbores as well as an extended mix.
  • The song's music video was shot in Brighton. "Normally my videos are all about me, but I decided it would be nice to make my fans the focus this time," Example told MTV UK. "The video follows them on the way to the gig, on the pier, in cafes, in and out of pubs, drinking on the beach, and I don't even appear in the video until they get to the gig. Documentary style videos are always centred around the artist – 'here's Aviici in a club, here's Aviici in a fast car' and I wanted to get away from that."
  • Example credits his wife, the Australian model and actress Erin McNaught, with changing his life. He told The Sun: "Staying at home, just me and Erin, is a perfect night for me. I wish people knew how much I don't give a s--- about the hype and fame."

    "In Erin, I have found a girl who just likes me for who I am and is happy doing simple things like watching a movie at home," Example continued. "So in 'One More Day,' that line about Ibiza sums it up ('We're like a couple of freaks in Ibiza. Even if we're sat on a sofa, you just won me over'). I'm just as happy with Erin in Ibiza as I am sat on a sofa and she cried when she heard that lyric."
  • Example told The Daily Mirror about writing the song with Alex Smith. "At the start we were trying to wrote a song from the girl's perspective, maybe Cheryl Cole or someone, but it didn't have the same lyrics as the final version, just that piano riff.," he said. "And then as I started falling in love with the song I decided I wanted it for myself, so we changed the lyrics so it was the guys point of view, and then I made the song about when I met Erin. We had this amazing romantic night together, 'a night of passion,' but I had to leave Australia and go back to the UK, and I didn't see her for like five weeks. Then I'd see her for a couple of weeks and then not see her for a month. She was in Sydney."

    "And when you hear the lyrics, it all starts to make sense," Example continued. "In the rap breakdown it goes 'Got to leave the country now. Apply VISA'. It sounds a lot like the early nineties. Those house moments that got ripped off by boybands. We had to be careful not to get into Take That territory."

    Pretty woman, walkin' down the street
    Pretty woman the kind I like to meet
    Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth
    No one could look as good as you, mercy

    Pretty woman won't you pardon me
    Pretty woman I couldn't help but see
    Pretty woman that you look lovely as can be
    Are you lonely just like me

    Pretty woman stop awhile
    Pretty woman talk awhile
    Pretty woman give your smile to me
    Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah
    Pretty woman look my way
    Pretty woman say you'll stay with me
    'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
    Come with me baby, be mine tonight

    Pretty woman don't walk on by
    Pretty woman don't make me cry
    Pretty woman don't walk away, hey, okay
    If that's the way it must be, okay
    I guess I'll go on home, it's late
    There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
    What do I see?
    Is she walkin' back to me?
    Yeah, she's walkin' back to me
    Oh, oh, pretty woman

    (Oh) Pretty Woman
  • Roy Orbison was writing with his songwriting partner Bill Dees at his house when he told Dees to get started writing by playing anything that came to mind. Orbison's wife Claudette came in and said she was going to go into town to buy something. Orbison asked if she needed any money, and Dees cracked, "Pretty woman never needs any money." Inspired, Orbison started singing, "Pretty woman walking down the street." Bill Dees recalls in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh: "He sang it while I was banging my hand down on the table and by the time she returned we had the song. I love the song. From the moment that the rhythm started, I could hear the heels clicking on the pavement, click, click, the pretty woman walking down the street, in a yellow skirt and red shoes. We wrote Oh Pretty Woman on a Friday, the next Friday we recorded it, and the next Friday it was out. It was the fastest thing I ever saw. Actually, the yeah, yeah, yeah in Oh Pretty Woman probably came from The Beatles."

    In the same book Bill Dees recounts how the distinctive growling cry of "Mercy" came about: "I can't do that growl like Roy, but the "Mercy" is mine. I used to say that all the time when I saw a pretty woman or had some good food. Still do."
  • Orbison and his wife Claudette had recently reconciled after some tough times, but as this song was climbing the charts, Roy found out she had been cheating on him and filed for divorce. In 1966, they remarried, but two months later Claudette was killed when the motorcycle she was riding was hit by a truck. Orbison faced tragedy again when his two oldest sons died in a fire at his home in 1968. He was on tour at the time.
  • This was Orbison's last big hit. His career faded fast, but was revived in the '80s when prominent musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and George Harrison cited him as an influence and invited him to join various projects. He was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and joined The Traveling Wilburys with Dylan, Tom Petty, Harrison and Jeff Lynne. As he was enjoying this career revival, he died of a heart attack on December 6, 1988 at age 52.
  • With his dark sunglasses and plaintive voice, Orbison gave the impression that he was always longing and sometimes miserable, which was not the case. Speaking with the NME in 1980, he explained what's going on in this song: "There's a ballad in the mid-section of it there: he's very sure of getting the girl when he first sees her, and then he's not so sure, and then he gets desperate, and then he says forget it, and then she comes back. It's quite complicated, but it's probably in the presentation, or if I'm really singing like I know I can and I'm doing the job that I should be doing, then it could be that the voice quality in parts has a melancholy something."
  • This was used in the 1990 movie of the same name starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It also featured in the films Dumb and Dumber (1994) and Au Pair (1999).
  • In 1989, the controversial rap group 2 Live Crew recorded a parody of this song, using the alternate title "Pretty Woman" for their album Clean As They Wanna Be. The Crew sampled the distinctive bassline, but the romantic lyrics were replaced by talk about a hairy woman and her bald-headed friend and their appeal to the singer. Orbison's publisher, Acuff-Rose Music, sued 2 Live Crew on the basis that the fair use doctrine did not permit reuse of their copyrighted material for profit. The case, Campbell vs. Acuff-Rose Music, went all the way to the US Supreme Court. In 1994, the Court ruled that 2 Live Crew's parody did not violate federal copyright laws.

  • In 1964, Orbison was the only American artist to have a #1 UK hit, and he did it twice - with "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and "It's Over." (thanks, David - Akron, OH)

    Venus In Furs Lyrics


    Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
    Whiplash girl child in the dark
    Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
    Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
    Downy sins of streetlight fancies
    Chase the costumes she shall wear
    Ermine furs adorn the imperious
    Severin, Severin awaits you there
    I am tired, I am weary
    I could sleep for a thousand years
    A thousand dreams that would awake me
    Different colors made of tears
    Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
    Shiny leather in the dark
    Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
    Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
    Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
    Severin, down on your bended knee
    Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
    Taste the whip, now plead for me
    I am tired, I am weary
    I could sleep for a thousand years
    A thousand dreams that would awake me
    Different colors made of tears
    Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
    Whiplash girl child in the dark
    Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
    Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

    Venus In Furs
  • "Venus In Furs" is inspired by the novella of the same title, written and published by Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch in 1870. It tells the story of a man who wishes to be dominated and treated as a slave by the woman he loves. We get the word "masochism" from Sacher-Masoch's last name, and the entire practice of dominance and submission from this and the works of Marquis de Sade, a male author who wrote from the opposite position of dominating women and treating them as slaves.

    Today's modern lifestyle knows this song's subject as "BDSM." That's a combined acronym: "B&D" for "Bondage and Discipline," "D&S" for "Dominance and Submission," and "S&M" for "Sadism and Masochism." That last part was originally written "sado-masochism," and in the 1960s was regarded as a mental illness and a deviant behavior, to be treated with electro-shock therapy and abhorred by society.

    Even today in the United States, similar to the outdated laws against homosexuality, there are various state laws against practicing any BDSM-associated activity. That is, even using a whip or handcuffs to play with your spouse (even with their full consent!) can land you in jail, or in other states merely selling such paraphernalia (such as a frat paddle or nipple clips) is a heavy offense. This stems from the original association with prostitution - it was thought at the time that no one would be willing to participate in gratifying such "perverted" desires without being paid for it. For this reason, it became yet another consenting-adult, victimless-crime prosecuted by law and thus subsequently embraced by the counter-culture, which explains why it was a popular theme for both underground arthouses and underground bands.

    So, with this song and the band's name, was Lou Reed kinky? Probably not, since, as given in The Velvet Underground: An Illustrated History of a Walk on the Wild Side , he called the band's namesake book The Velvet Underground "the funniest dirty book he'd ever read." However, it was the association of kink with the sexual revolution and the counter-culture lifestyle that made it an indispensable part of shocking the sensibilities of 1960s audiences.
  • In the book Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk, by Punk Magazine co-founder Roderick Edward "Legs" McNeil, an interview with Exploding Plastic Inevitable dancer Ronnie Cutrone has this to say about this song's subject: "S&M sex fascinated me even though I knew nothing about it. I had a natural curiosity, so I asked Lou 'What's Venus In Furs about?' Lou said, 'Ah, you know, it's some trash novel.' I said 'Where can you get a copy?' Lou said, 'Ah yeah, just down the block there's a store.' So I went and bought the book. I was still in high school, so I'd go to class with my Venus In Furs and Story of O and Justine, and sit there reading this stuff."

    Perhaps as a result of the influence of this song, punk rock and the BDSM lifestyle have been intertwined ever since. Many punk bands have made alternative sexual practices part of their image or made songs about kink, and even Goth rock, which carries over some influence from punk, has made BDSM elements, such as wearing leather collars, part of its culture.

    Lest we think that "Venus In Furs" broke new ground here, legendary singing satirist Tom Lehrer sang "The Masochism Tango" on his 1959 album An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer. And for a final hit of surrealism, check out this Dunlop tire commercial using Velvet Underground's "Venus In Furs" , created by London director Tony Kaye. Wow.

    Safe like going home
    But just like sand
    It slips through your hands
    Before you know it your faith is gone

    Every morning kiss
    All the "I can't live without yous"
    And you say goodbye like this
    Don't you understand?

    Well you'd still be standing here

    Wake up from the dreams
    Catch my breath, it takes everything I've got to move
    Yeah it could've been a long walk talk to fix this,
    The seas were getting rough, but I thought we were worth this
    Worth a try, worth a fight, show you what I know, yeah

    It's the strangest thing
    To have you back in my face
    With all those years passed
    I guess I just got used to my space

    I don't know how to feel
    This whole thing seems so surreal
    So you keep one foot out the door
    I know I said 'leave' but, baby, don't go

    We got so much history
    I hurt you, you hurt me
    No, we don't need therapy
    What I need is you here

    And even though I know I'm right
    Just like some lapse in my memory
    You're back to me, hand on the door
    I want you, baby, don't go

    I'm so glad you give back my keys
    Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
    Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
    My keys

    You got so many issues but I guess I can top me, too
    I'm just fine by myself
    But I don't know who's gonna help you
    I'm not no secretary, I'm nobody's Major D

    But like a lapse in my memory
    I want you, baby, don't go
    Baby, don't go, baby, don't go
    Baby, don't leave, yeah
    Stay the night, baby
    Don't go, baby, oh, hey, baby, don't, baby, don't go

    I'm so glad you give back my keys
    Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
    Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
    My keys

    I'm so glad you give back my keys
    Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys

    There is a town in North Ontario
    Dream comfort memory to spare
    And in my mind I still need a place to go
    All my changes were there

    Blue, blue windows behind the stars
    Yellow moon on the rise
    Big birds flying across the sky
    Throwing shadows on our eyes

    Leave us

    Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
    Babe, can you hear me now?
    The chains are locked and tied across the door
    Baby, sing with me somehow

    Blue, blue windows behind the stars
    Yellow moon on the rise
    Big birds flying across the sky
    Throwing shadows on our eyes

    Leave us

    Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless

In 1949, Neil's parents moved there with him when he was just four years old. Young describes it as "a nice little town. Sleepy little place... Life was real basic and simple in that town. Walk to school, walk back. Everybody knew who you were. Everybody knew everybody."
  • More so than any other song, "Helpless" touches on Young's earliest childhood memories. Young came down with polio by age six, prompting his parents to spend a year in Florida hoping the warmer weather would speed his cure. Ten years after this came the Young's divorce, from which Neil stayed with his mother while his father kept his brother Bob and later remarried. So, typical for Neil Young, the memories represented here are bittersweet.
    Speaking of his family, most people forget that Neil's father, Scott Young, was a celebrity in his own right! Scott Young was a career journalist and writer, who started out in the Winnipeg Free Press and writing for other magazines and newspapers. He also wrote books - over three dozen, in fact - mostly boy's adventure/sports stories. And to round that out, his was a familiar face on Canadian TV. So it came as a surprise to him that his son's fame would eclipse his own to such an extent; he was happy with it anyway.
  • Young sang this live at "The Last Waltz" - The Band's farewell concert. As well as The Band themselves he was accompanied on vocals by Joni Mitchell. It is amusing to see Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko from The Band come in too early for the first chorus and then burst out laughing. You can see this clearly on the film as they accompany Neil Young. (thanks, Dan - Auckland, New Zealand)
  • In 2011, Neil Young performed the song with popular indie band Arcade Fire at the Bridge School Benefit Concert.
  • An alternate version appears on Neil's Archives Volume 1, featuring a much more prominent harmonica.
  • Various artists have released covers of the song, notably among them Nick Cave and Patti Smith.
  • This has remained one of Young's standby live songs throughout his career.

  • The song was produced by Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers. It was written around a sample of a 1970s Czechslovakian private pressing that Rowlands had.
  • Bassist Jamie Reynolds described this song to NME as: "The best example of us making our songwriting work in the groove and feel-led dance context. It never repeats itself."
  • This was released as a double A-sided single with "There Is No Other Time."

    Straight Out Of Line Lyrics


    There's no reason
    There's no compromise
    Change in seasons
    Living the high life
    I don't know you
    So don't freak on me
    I can't control you
    You're not my destiny

    Straight Out Of Line
    I can't find a reason
    Why I should justify my ways
    Straight out of line
    I don't need a reason
    You don't need to lie to me

    I'll confess this you're my tragedy
    I paid you to rest this
    As fast as you turned on me
    Gone for ever
    Vanished the memories
    This face of pleasure
    Are masked by your misery

    Straight out of line
    I can't find a reason
    Why I should justify my ways
    Straight out of line
    I don't need a reason
    You don't need to lie to me
    Lie to me

    Straight out of line
    I can't find a reason
    Why I should justify my ways
    Straight out of line
    I don't need a reason
    You don't need to, don't need to lie to me

    Lie to me
    Lie to me
    Lie to me

  • This was the first single off of Faceless. It was written by Sully Erna. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ)
  • This song was used in the 2004 video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, along with "I Stand Alone." This song was used (without the helicopter intro) for the game's credits. It helped to set the more dark and desperate feeling of the second game in the series. Many fans of the games did not care for the Inclusion of Godsmack's music, and the third, and final game of the series, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, used the original Indian-Like musical score.

    Shatter Me Lyrics


    I pirouette in the dark
    I see the stars through me
    Tired mechanical heart
    Beats til the song disappears

    Somebody shine a light
    I'm frozen by the fear in me
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And Shatter Me
    So cut me from the line
    Dizzy, spinning endlessly
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me!

    Shatter me!
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me!

    If only the clockworks could speak
    I wouldn't be so alone
    We burn every magnet and spring
    And spiral into the unknown

    Somebody shine a light
    I'm frozen by the fear in me
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me
    So cut me from the line
    Dizzy, spinning endlessly
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me!

    Shatter me!
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me!

    If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
    There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
    I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
    The world is spinning but only in gray
    If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
    There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
    I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
    The world is spinning but only in gray
    (Only)

    Somebody shine a light
    I'm frozen by the fear in me
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me
    So cut me from the line
    Dizzy, spinning endlessly
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me!
    Shatter me!
    Somebody make me feel alive
    And shatter me!

    Shatter Me
  • The title track of Lindsey Stirling's sophomore album was a departure for the violinist and performance artist: "This song is very, very - obviously - different for a Lindsey Stirling track, because I've never written lyrics before, I've never gotten to blatantly say what I feel. I mean, all my songs have meaning behind them and I try to express that very strongly through the emotion that I want the song to feel for everyone," she said. "This time I got to literally say, 'This is what I want to share.'"
  • The cover of Shatter Me features Stirling as a ballerina inside the glass globe of a music box. The album has a theme of breaking free and this song tells the story of the ballerina on the cover who longs for someone to shatter the glass and let her escape; only to discover that she is the only one who can break the glass.

    "The whole theme of the overall album is about breaking free and learning, so it's kind of my process that I went to to rediscover who I was and be okay with that person and then love that person and share that person," said Stirling. "It all started kind of with the theme of 'Shatter Me.' I had to break free from the shell that I put over myself, and so that's why it's Shatter Me."
  • Halestorm's Lzzy Hale makes a guest appearance on this track. Regarding how the collaboration came about, Stirling said: " It was so important for me to find the right singer for it, because I had in my mind the idea of who I wanted. I love vocalists like Hayley Williams from Paramore and Amy Lee from Evanescence, so I really wanted a powerhouse, rock-star female vocalist."

    "I came across Lzzy Hale's videos and Halestorm's stuff, and I was just blown away by the energy that Lzzy has on stage, on camera, in her tracks," she continued. "I immediately got really excited and was just keeping my fingers crossed that she would have a window to come and do this with me. So I reached out to her management, and really quickly, they responded right back that Lzzy was really excited about the track."

    Stirling added: "I had actually never heard of Lzzy before, I'm ashamed to admit it. And it's even funnier because she had never heard of me, and we both kind of became immediate fans of each other's work."
  • The song was inspired by Stirling's days working in a rehab center with troubled teenage women who were battling a variety of issues. She explained in a Reddit AMA: "It was a metaphorical representation of how it felt being trapped inside an eating disorder."

    Patience Lyrics


    One, two, one, two, three, four

    Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
    I'm still alright to smile
    Girl, I think about you every day now
    Was a time when I wasn't sure
    But you set my mind at ease
    There is no doubt you're in my heart now

    Said woman take it slow, and it'll work itself out fine
    All we need is just a little Patience
    Said sugar make it slow and we'll come together fine
    All we need is just a little patience (Patience)
    Mm, yeah

    I sit here on the stairs
    'Cause I'd rather be alone
    If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
    Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
    But you know love there's one more thing to consider

    Said woman take it slow and things will be just fine
    You and I'll just use a little patience
    Said sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright
    You and I've got what it takes to make it
    We won't fake it, I'll never break it
    'Cause I can't take it

    Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
    Need a little patience, yeah
    Just a little patience, yeah
    Some more patience, yeah (I've been walking the streets at night, just trying to get it right)
    A little patience, yeah (Its hard to see with so many around
    You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd)
    Could use some patience, yeah (And the streets don't change but maybe the names)
    (I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you)
    Gotta have more patience, yeah (Yeah, yeah but I need you)
    All need some patience (Ooh I need you, whoa I need you)
    Just a little patience is all you need (Ooh, this time, ah)

  • This song was a trendsetter in its use of all-acoustic instrumentation. This song made it safe for hard rockers to display their sensitive, vulnerable sides in a more understated way rather than utilizing the power ballad format.
  • The video for this song can be seen playing in the background of the Robert DeNiro film Cape Fear. (thanks, cameron - mesquite, TX)
  • This is a very popular Karaoke song, but one that you might want to avoid. Kimberly Starling of The Karaoke Informer says it's one of the top 5 songs that tends to bomb: "It just eludes the average ear and when you get off key on this one it sounds to the ear like a turd in a punch bowl looks to the eye."
  • Before Geffen Records decided it was too long, the title for the album was Lies! The Sex, The Drugs, The Violence, The Shocking Truth.
  • On January 30th, 1989, Guns N' Roses played this at the American Music Awards with Don Henley on drums.
  • Axl Rose can be heard whistling on this track. He's also the one who blows the whistle on "Paradise City." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
