The Only Reason Lyrics

Don't talk
Let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?

Tell me
Is it even worth it?
Looking for a straight line.
Taking back the time we can't replace.

All the crossed wires
Just making us tired.
Is it too late?
Too bring us back to life?

When I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But fall apart
And find it hard to breath
You're the reason
The Only Reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason
The only reason

I feel you
Burning under my skin
I swear I see you shining
Brighter than the flames inside your eyes

Bitter words spoken
Everything broken
Its never too late
To bring us back to life

When I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But fall apart
And find it hard to breath
You're the reason
The only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason
The only reason

Don't talk
Let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?

When I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But fall apart
And find it hard to breath
You're the reason
The only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason
The only reason

When I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But fall apart
And find it hard to breath
You're the reason
The only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason
The only reason

Down for a Get Down Lyrics

Got my 40 clocked in, ready for some rockin'
Friday night pockets are full of green
Gonna get a little get right, loosen up the uptight
Lookin' like a good night to cause a scene
I hear cold beer callin'

Whoa-oh whoa-oh, waiting on the sun to go
Go down, go down, down in this little town
Come on, come on, let's get up to no good
Let me hear you holler if you're Down for a Get Down

Parking lot's filled up, drinking from a red cup
Girls with the big buzz ready to dance
Country boys dippin' sippin' and spittin'
Game tryna get 'em a little romance
Ain't no slowing down now

Whoa-oh whoa-oh, waiting on the sun to go
Go down, go down, down in this little town
Come on, come on, let's get up to no good
Let me hear you holler if you're down for a get down

Whoa, whoa
Everybody do you wanna get loud
Whoa, whoa
Yeah, if you're with me let's break it on down

Got my 40 clocked in, ready for some rockin'
Friday night pockets are full of green

Whoa-oh whoa-oh, waiting on the sun to go
Go down, go down, down in this little town
Come on, come on, let's get up to no good
Let me hear you holler
Whoa-oh whoa-oh, waiting on the sun to go
Go down, go down, down in this little town
Come on, come on, let's get up to no good
Let me hear you holler if you're down for a get down
Get down

Down for a Get Down

This uptempo Friday-night anthem kicks off Turn It Up. Josh Thompson told The Boot that the song's energy was the reason for it opening the set. "We chose the song that took the most steroids," he said. "This song is a big jump for me. It's a new phase for me. It's got… the track's booming, and it just kinda really sets the pace. It's really lead-footed, and it's got some meat to it."

Get Lyrics

We sell, crack to our own out the back of our homes
We smell the musk at the dusk in the crack of the dawn
We go through "epidodes ii," like "attack of the clones"
Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
To Get by just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors
We survivalists, turned to consumers
To get by just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Ask him why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen like norman mailer
Me and willa raised three daughters all by herself, with no help
I think about a struggle and I find the strength in myself
These words, melt in my mouth
They hot, like the jail cell in the south
Before my nigga core bailed me out
To get by just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We do or die like bed-stuy through the red sky
With the window of the red eye
Let the lead fly, some g. rap shit, "livin' to let die"

This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
And I've been thinkin, I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)

We keeping it gangster say "fo shizzle", "fo sheezy" and "stayin crunk"
Its easy to pull a breezy, smoke trees, and we stay drunk
Yo, I activism attackin the system, the blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison they victim black in the vision
Shit and all they got is rappin to listen to
I let them know we missin you, the love is unconditional
Even when the condition is critical, when the livin is miserable
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin you
Now, why would I lie? just to get by?
Just to get by, we get fly
The tv got us reachin for stars
Not the ones between venus and mars, the ones that be readin for parts
Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers
Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the father
They need somethin to rely on, we get high on all types of drug
When, all you really need is love
To get by just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Our parents sing like john lennon, "imagine all the people watch"
We rock like paul mccartney from now until the last beatle drop

This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my high's, and my low's
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
And I've been thinking, I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

Some people cry, and some people try
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
You love to eat and get high
We deceive when we lie, and we keepin' it fly

When, the people decide, to keep a disguise
Can't see they eyes, see the evil inside
But there's people you find
Strong or feeble in mind, I stay readin' the signs

Some people cry, and some people try
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
You love to eat and get high
We deceive when we lie, and we keepin' it fly

Coming Home Lyrics

Do you wish you hadn't stayed all night?
Do you wish you hadn't gotten so high?
Do you wish you hadn't come? Oh no, gotta go

Do you wish you wasn't half past gone?
Do you wish you didn't last that long?
Do you wish you hadn't come? Oh no, gotta go, gotta run

May I remind you,
May I remind that you've got nowhere to go,
So I'm standing beside you,
Standing beside you 'til you find our way back home

We're Coming Home,
We're coming home,
Light a fire
We're coming home.
We'll write it down,
We'll write it all down

And we're dancing on the finest line,
Between the chance of the time of our lives,
Wishing you were done, oh no, gotta run

And we're choosing not to make that choice,
And we lose our shoes and voice,
But we have a lot of fun on the way, wanna play?
Gotta come!

May I remind you,
May I remind that you've got no where to go,
So I'm standing beside you,
I'm standing beside you 'til you find our way back home

We're coming home,
We're coming home,
Light a fire
We're coming home.
We'll write it down,
We'll write it all down

We're coming home,
We're coming home,
Light a fire
We're coming home.
We'll write it down,
We'll write it all down

Then it all comes flooding back to me,
Like a forgotten melody from a dream
Then it all comes flooding back to me,
Like a forgotten melody from a dream
Then it all comes flooding back to me,
Like a forgotten melody

We're coming home,
We're coming home,
Light a fire
We're coming home.
We'll write it down,
We'll write it all down

We're coming home,
We're coming home,
Light a fire
We're coming home.
We'll write it down,
We'll write it all down

Coming Home

This song is about how we vainly try to forget disappointment through short-lived hedonistic pursuits. It was first performed live by the Kaisers during their 2013 shows at London's Hyde Park and Leeds Arena.

The video was shot by James Slater (Mark Owen's "Stars," White Lies' "There Goes Our Love Again") in the Yorkshire Dales, not far from the band's hometown, It finds frontman Ricky Wilson strolling across the moors. The director told Promo News about the filming of the clip. "We shot the video in a jovially named place called Blubberhouses which is right on the southern cusp of the Yorkshire Dales, and not too far from where I'm from," he said. "Its also just up the road from where the band hail. I think we all just hankered after a bit of home cooking."

"I've never shot in Yorkshire before, I should do it more often," he continued. "The landscapes are great and as soon as DOP Jonathan Isles put the anamorphic lens on, it looked like a Western setting (if you ignore the rain, the wind, the grey skies and the lack of desert and Cacti)."

"The strip of land we shot on leant itself well to the one shot idea," Slater continued, "and thanks to the fantastic cast, crew (who all seemed to know each other from Heartbeat) and a really strong performance from Ricky, we had the take we needed after about ten attempts."

Breña Lyrics

My reflection
Wraps and pulls me under
healing waters to be
Bathed in Brena

Guides me
Safely in
Worlds I've never been to
Heal me
Heal me
My dear Brena

So vulnerable
But it's alright

Heal me
Heal me
My dear Brena

Show me lonely and
Show me openings
To lead me closer to you
My dear Brena

(Feeling so) vulnerable
But it's alright

Opening to... heal...
Opening to... heal...
Heal.. Heal.. Heal...

Heal me

Crusaders Lyrics

Crusaders

Vocalist and guitarist Stephen Battelle wrote this song after watching Les Misérables in the cinema. He told Kerrang!: "Due to me writing the song in my head on the way home, I wasn't able to perform it on a conventional instrument. I had a cocktail, and while sitting there I dreamt that I had a guitar with the width of a single string penetrating the body. I made a quick call to guitar luthier Nigel Roberts, and six weeks later 'The Penetrator' was born. Basically, I had a guitar built that can only be used for one song, but when a riff's that good it's worth the effort."

The band made the decision to pay tribute to the guitar greats of the last century on this song so it became 'The History Of The Guitar.' Batelle explained: "Using nine guitars, each passage and each riff was played on the guitar synonymous with that player – Hank Marvin on a Strat, Jimmy Page on a Les Paul, Brian May on a Brian May copy (obviously) and BB King on a Lucille."

3 Libras Lyrics

Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back a name
In your recollection down among a million same
Difficult not to feel
a little bit disappointed and passed over
when I've looked right through to see you
naked but oblivious
and you don't see me

But I threw you the obvious just to see
If there's more behind the eyes of a fallen angel
eyes of a tragedy

Here I am expecting just a little bit too much
From the wounded but I see through it all and see you

'Cause I threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the
eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
oh well, oh well apparently nothing
apparently nothing at all

You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't see me
You don't see me at all

3 Libras

Maynard James Keenan, in the A Perfect Circle EPK stated, "It's about being overlooked."

In the liner notes to the single, Keenan said: "Up until the mid twentieth century the mountain gorilla was considered a myth. Oddly enough, a legend not unlike Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. The chance of actually seeing/experiencing this elusive shadow was as likely as finding one's soulmate. Rare. Precious. Even once discovered they seemed unapproachable. The only way to get close to this magnificent creature was to become empathetic. Abandon all pretense and preconceptions. To bare an open throat. To collapse into the arms of vulnerability. All but extinct, these beings/moments are threatened by the black hearted. The cold and oblivious. The empty eyed profit seekers that overlook these Rare. Precious." (thanks, Chrissy - Vancouver, Canada, for above 2)

Keenan shed some more light on this song in their aMotion DVD, where he explained that this is a song about parasitic-like people seeing something different or special about a person. Instead of nurturing that quality or helping that person grow, the "3 Libras" feed off of the energy in a bad way instead of using it for good.

On aMotion, Keenan also mentioned that he wrote the song for about 9 or so people in his life that have birthdays around the same time, hence the name "3 Libras." He titled it so the people with the Libran birthdays could battle it out to figure who he wrote the song about. (thanks, Stephanie - Grants Pass, OR, for above 2)

This is the title track of Manchester Orchestra's fourth album. "The idea for the record was how differently the word 'Cope' can be interpreted. Manchester Orchestra frontman Andy Hull told Billboard magazine. "I would ask my friends and family what they thought that word meant to them, and it was pretty fascinating that I never got the same explanation."

The General Lyrics

The General

This song tells a story about a brilliant and battle-torn general who has a dream in which he realizes the futility of war. He then attempts to persuade his men that they do not have to participate in the battle, but that he would fulfill the job he had sworn to do. He wants them to leave and live a full life, but none of his men will leave him. (thanks, Jim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Dispatch's vocalist and guitarist, Chad Urmston, told us that this song is even more relevant now than it was in 1998: "It's more relevant today than it was when I wrote it. I've always been fascinated by war and been lucky enough not to have the hands in experience. But I can understand that it must be hell and that there's also a deep sense of brother/sisterhood that is unique to that experience." (Here's our full Chad Urmston interview.)

Urmston told us this song was inspired by "a summer of playing Hendrix's "Castles Made of Sand† constantly."

In The Best of Dispatch, Chad Urmston explains: "This was our anti-war song. Although it was primarily based on the Civil War, the message was not confined to that particular conflict. We were too young to be directly involved in the Gulf War; nevertheless, the sense of a troubled history rings loud in the heads of young men who grow up listening to grandfathers or fathers recount war stories. The crowd response to this song always blew us away. Some said it had a 'Castles Made of Sand' feel - any reference to Hendrix we took gladly. We recorded the song up in the northeast kingdom on borrowed instruments. Our hazy-eyed hairball engineer swayed like a derelict wrecking ball over the console like a played-out carnie with nothing to show for a lifetime of swindling. His down-to-the-filter cigarette wandered listlessly with a skeletal droop of ash as he leaned on his crippled office chair teasing gravity. He ended up giving in to his heavy eyes and passing out on the couch with his feet up, still holding the cigarette as Brad and I took turns pressing the 'record' and 'locate' buttons."

In the Basement Lyrics

Oh now tell me where can you party, child, all night long?
In the Basement, down in the basement,
Oh where can you go when your money gets low?
In the basement, down in the basement
And if a storm is taking place, you can jam and still be safe
In the basement, down in the basement,

Where can you dance to any music you choose?
In the basement, down in the basement
Oh, you got the comforts of home, a nightclub too.
In the basement, down in the basement.
There's no cover charge or fee and the food and drinks are free,
In the basement, down in the basement

Where they don't check your age at the door,
In the basement, down in the basement
Barracuda and Jack til your feet get sore
In the basement, down in the basement
Do any dance you want to do, there's no one under you
In the basement, down in the basement

In the basement, that's where it's at
In the basement, in the basement

In the Basement

Martina McBride and Kelly Clarkson combined in their first-ever studio duet together, to cover a 1966 Etta James pair-up with Sugar Pie DeSanto. McBride told Billboard magazine about this hookup with the American Idol alumna. "I wanted to do a song that was a little bit unexpected for us," she said. "I think people would expect the two of us to get together and do this big ballad, but I found this song, and thought it was so much fun. It fits her personality, and it has a lot of fun energy and is very vivacious. So, we recorded it together, and I think it turned out great."

Clarkson and McBride previously sang live together in 2006 when they honored Reba McEntire on CMT Giants, performing "Does He Love You."

This is probably the least known of the covers that McBride recorded for her Everlasting album. "I wasn't super familiar with it, to be honest," she told Billboard magazine. "I discovered it along the way. That's one of the great things about this record – I discovered a lot of music while listening to thousands of songs. That was a really great process for me too."

Everlasting was released on McBride's own Vinyl Recordings label through Kobalt Label Services. It spent its first week at #1 on the Country chart, a history making feat for Martina McBride as she became the first woman ever to debut at #1 with an independently released and distributed album.

The Spam Song Lyrics

The Spam Song

Spam is a brand name of luncheon meat. It's name is a contraction of the words "spiced ham." Years later, the term "Spam" was used to describe junk e-mail.

This song first appeared on the the 25th episode of the TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus, which was titled, appropriately enough, "Spam." On the show, a group of Vikings attempt to sing this song while Eric Idle and Graham Chapman (in drag) are ordering breakfast from Terry Jones, who recites the menu on which almost everything contains some spam. Terry Jones silences the Vikings until the end of the sketch, until he gives in and they sing the full version. (thanks, Connor - Stonington, CT)

Assisting the group on background vocals were The Fred Tomlinson Singers. This group worked with Monty Python on several other songs as well.

The group was known more for their comedy than for their music. All of their movies, however, featured music written by members of the band. Members of the group were: Eric Idle, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam.

There are only three different words in this song. In alphabetical order these are: Lovely, Spam, and Wonderful. (thanks, Jeff - Haltom City, TX, for all above)

Only Love Can Hurt Like This Lyrics

Only Love Can Hurt Like This

This big ballad was penned by American songwriter Dianne Warren, who has previously written hits for the likes of Cher ("If I Could Turn Back Time") and Aerosmith ("I Don't Want to Miss a Thing").

This is one of several tracks on A Perfect Contradiction that find Faith singing about the dark side of love. "I do think I'm a tragic romantic," she told The Metro. "Actually, the benchmark was Candi Staton's 'Young Hearts Run Free,' that kind of song where you acknowledge hardship or sadness but you inject hope into it."

"When it comes on at a party, everyone just thinks: 'Yeah, some hard things have happened, I'm often my own worst enemy – but screw it, let's dance,'" she added.

Having trouble playing along to this song? That's because it was recorded slightly out of tune. Whether on purpose or by mistake is unknown, but Sound on Sound suggests it may be the result of fooling around with the playback rate at the end of production to adjust the tempo. While certain software can do the job without affecting the pitch, it can also produce an unwanted warbling sound.
