Down Lyrics

Chill. light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Play a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations

[Chorus:]
We've changed a lot and then some some
Know that we have always been Down down
And if i ever didn't thank you you
Then just let me do it now

I bet you light up when we start the show follow me now
Very closely because i told you so you know
We glow because we throw sun rays
We be freaky and we want to stay

[Chorus]

Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
'cause we're dope kidchange like a chameleon
And the channel whenever that wack show real world is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with you teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique 311 in LA

[Chorus]

Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down
And

[Chorus]

Down

Written by 311 lead singer Nick Hexum and DJ S. A. Martinez, this is a song for the fans (who were "down" with them) to thank them for being loyal before the band became successful, and also an expression of gratitude for their bandmates.

311 emerged from humble beginnings in Nebraska, and when their second major-label album, Grassroots, made the albums chart (at #193) and got some radio play, they knew it was going to work out for them. "There was momentum swelling," Hexum said in his Songfacts interview . "We knew we were blowing up, and it was strictly from a grassroots basis, and not from being media darlings or anything like that. It's a 'thank you' to both the band members and the fans."

This was a breakthrough single for 311, marking their first appearance on the Billboard Airplay chart (it wasn't released as a single, so it wasn't eligible for the Hot 100) and getting them on MTV. The song isn't typical pop fare, but it made an adventurous addition to many playlists looking to branch out from grunge, hip-hop and easy-going pop (we're talking about you, Hootie & The Blowfish).

311 performed this on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on August 23, 1996. (thanks, Kiona - Huntsville, AL)

The music video, which makes liberal use of various fun-house effects, was directed by Josh Taft, who also did the Stone Temple Pilots vids for "Plush" and "Sex Type Thing."

Baby, you know I heard the neighbors say

Got To Choose

Paul Stanley (from Classic Rock magazine): "There was a band called Boomerang which featured some of the guys from Vanilla Fudge, and they did a version of 'Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won't Do)' by Wilson Pickett. I'm pretty sure that's the riff I used in 'Got To Choose.' It's one of my favorite Kiss songs."

Jumper Lyrics

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
I would understand,
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
Icing over a secret pain,
You know you don't belong,
You're the first to fight, You're way too loud,
You're the flash of light, On a burial shroud,
I know something's wrong,
Well everyone I know has got a reason, To say, put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand,
I would understand.
Well he's on the table, And he's gone to code,
And I do not think anyone knows,
What they are doing here,
And your friends have left, You've been dismissed,
I never thought it would come to this, And I, I want you to know,
Everyone's got to face down the demons,
Maybe today, We can put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand,
I would understand,
I would understand...
Can you put the past away, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
I would understand

Jumper

In our 2015 interview with lead singer Stephan Jenkins , he described this song as "a noir about a guy who jumped off a bridge and killed himself because he was gay," adding, "It was really about bullying."

Stephan Jenkins said on the PBS show In The Mix: "It's not just a song about some guy offing himself. 'Jumper' is really about understanding. Everyone carries demons around, they carry some sort of scar around. The message of Jumper is that there comes a time when you have to put the past away." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Jenkins told us that this song has changed meaning over the years, as shifting attitudes toward gay rights and inclusion have made the song a celebration, in a way. "'Jumper' has become a really positive song," he said. "When I wrote it, I wrote it as a lament, and now I sing it as a sense of arrival and more exalted, so that one's definitely changed."

This song is used in a scene in the film Yes Man in which Carl sings and plays the guitar to this song to convince a man not to commit suicide. (thanks, Alec Thorp - Yorktown Heights, NY)

The title is never sung in the lyrics, which led many people to believe it was called "I Would Understand," which is repeated throughout the song. (thanks, Tiga - Mount Carmel, PA)

Thrills in the Night Lyrics

Early morning, as she wakes from her sleep
9 to 5 is the day that she'll keep
Ties her hair up and her blouse buttoned tight
Gets her worked up as she waits for the night

All those people, tell me what would they say
If they knew her, how she hides it away
Locked inside, there's the start of a flame
And the feelings that she never will tame

Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery
Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees livin' inside

[Chorus]
Thrills in the Night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no one really knows her

In the evening when she takes to the street
She goes hunting with a body in heat
And desires she's kept hidden inside make her tingle
And she knows why she lies

Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery
Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees living inside

[Chorus: x2]

See the stranger that she's pushing away
As she dresses for the start of a day
And desires she's kept hidden inside make her tingle
Yeah she knows why she lies

[Chorus: x3]

Thrills in the Night

This song is about a woman who lives a double life. During the day, she buttons up and puts in her eight hours at work, all the while thinking about the night, when she can satisfy her prurient desires. Her thrills come in the night, but she never lets on.

Paul Stanley of Kiss wrote this song with Jean Beauvoir, who was an early member of the band Plasmatics. He produced the Ramones albums Animal Boy (1986) and Brain Drain (1989).

45 Lyrics

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
Keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart?
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart?
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe!

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45, 45

45

Many people think this is about suicide, but the song is actually about hope, to fight against the odds. Shinedown lead singer Brent Smith told Foundry Music: "I think a lot of people kind of take a literal sense because of the lyrics - but the song is basically about the day that you wake up and you look at yourself in the mirror and you finally decide that you want to try to become comfortable in your own skin, and realize that you're gonna have to make yourself happy before you're going to make anyone else happy. And basically, the 45 isn't an actual literal term for a gun, I used it as a metaphor for the world, the 45 is actually the world and what it hands you every day of your life. When you get up, it's a gift to be alive to begin with. A lot of different people, when I've talked about it, they said, 'Do you really honestly mean that?' And I'm like, 'Well, yeah.' Because I've been in that situation where I didn't know if I wanted to continue going on and I didn't know how to necessarily make myself comfortable with who I was, trying to find a way of learning more about myself. And you come from a dark place sometimes, and that's really the reality of the song. It's about overcoming and about moving forward. And it's basically about understanding that it's not always going to be good, but you really have no one to blame for yourself if you don't move forward. That's where the whole, 'Nobody knows what I believe,' comes from because we're all individuals. So that's really where it comes from, it's about moving on, really." (thanks, Justin - Franklin, VA)

The Warehouse Life

Richmond Fontaine songwriter Willy Vlautin lived in Reno in his twenties and many of his songs were inspired by his time in the Nevada city. This song is one of them. He told Uncut magazine: "I guess a lot of time I take a real life story and then make it much more dramatic. Like 'The Warehouse Life.' I used to work at a warehouse and me and this guy would get drunk on lunch break and he had a huge gambling problem. He had a bookie in Reno. If you have a bookie in Reno you're in a mess. But he didn't get beat up. He was threatened an awful lot, but his folks got him out of it." (thanks, DeeTheWriter - Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation)

Safe Place Lyrics

Another day inside my world
I'm married to you and this road
A road that never let's me sleep
There's no way to escape these demons I am forced to keep

And then I'll find you here
Through your eyes
Everything's clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms
But I'm alone for now

I mean the best with what I say
It doesn't always sound that way
I never learn to work things out
Cause in my family all we ever seem to do is shout

And then I find you here
Through your eyes
Everythings clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms
But I'm alone for now, alone for now

And I try to sleep
The drugs I take are killin' me
I think of you to ease my pain
But your so far

Now it's time to say goodbye
I love you baby please don't cry

And then I'll find you here
Through your eyes
Everythings clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms
But I'm along for now, alone for now

Lay Me Down Lyrics

Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain, the way I’m missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside
These tears, they tell their own story

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight

I’m reaching out to you
Can you hear my call? (Who's to say you won't hear me?)
This hurt that I’ve been through
I’m missing you, missing you like crazy

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight

Lay Me Down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me down
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay down
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight

Lay Me Down

This yearning love song is the lead single from In the Lonely Hour. It was released in the UK on February 15, 2013. The song entered the British singles chart at #46 after being referenced by host James Corden at the 2014 BRIT Awards.

Smith explained to MTV News how this was the song that kick-started his music career. "Disclosure heard 'Lay Me Down,' and [after that] it was like a domino effect," he said. "We wrote 'Latch' together, and then Naughty Boy heard 'Latch' and we wrote 'La La La' together, and then I had a number-one single in the UK."

The song was written by Sam Smith with Jimmy Napes, who helped write Disclosure's hits "Latch," "White Noise" and "You & Me." and newcomer Elvin Smith. The Disclosure pair produced the tune.

Smith performed the song along with "Stay With Me" during his debut appearance on the March 29, 2014 episode of Saturday Night Live.

The song secured Smith a record deal. London Records' Nick Raphael recalled to Billboard magazine: "I remember hearing 'Latch' and thinking, 'No person can go through that many vocal ranges at one time without going through a computer. And then he played 'Lay Me Down,' and I remember getting in the car afterward, calling the business affairs guy and saying, 'Whatever we do, we must close this deal.'"

Sam Smith went back into the studio in January 2015 to re-record the tune for its single release. The new version of the song was done with its original producers Jimmy Napes and Steve Fitzmaurice.

The music video was directed by Ryan Hope, whose other clients include George Michael ("White Light"), 2 Chainz ("Feds Watching") and Wiz Khalifa ("Remember You"). The clip was filmed in a South East London church and starts with a funeral before turning into a wedding scene, with Smith exchanging vows with his male partner. The singer said: "With this video myself and Ryan Hope the director have decided to make a statement and showcase something we passionately believe in."

"This video shows my dreams that one day gay men and women and transgendered men and women all over the world, like all our straight families and friends, will be able to get married under any roof, in any city, in any town, in any village, in any country."

Sam Smith partnered with John Legend to record a new version of the song for Comic Relief. The special track was released on March 9, 2015, with all proceeds going to the UK charity.

The collaboration with John Legend topped the UK singles charts. It was Smith's fourth #1 in his home country, following the singer's guesting on Naughty Boy's "La La La" and his own "Money On My Mind" and "Stay With Me."

Much of In the Lonely Hour deals with a case of unrequited love Smith suffered when he fell for a guy who turned out to be straight, and thus not interested in his advances. The singer explained during his gig at the O2 Academy in Brixton, London that he wrote "Lay Me Down" after deleting the unresponsive guy from his WhatsApp account.

Roses From My Friends Lyrics

I could have treated you better
But you couldn't have treated me worse
But it's he who laughs last
Is he who cries first

Sometimes I feel I know strangers
Better than I know my friends
Why must a beginning
Be the means to an end

The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
The Roses From My Friends

When the last word has been spoken
And we've bared witness to the final setting sun
All that shall remain is a token
Of what we've said and done

When all we've had has been forsaken
Distant church bells no longer ring
That's the sound of a heart taken
And the story of tears from a king

The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
The roses from my friends

This may be the last time I see you
Forgive me for holding you close
This may be the last time that I see you
So of this moment I will make the most

This may be the last time I see you
But if you keep me in your heart
Together we shall be eternal
If you believe
We shall never part

The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
The roses from my friends

There are songs on here which are one take, which are just me and Meg playing live, like 'Catch Hell Blues.' We're proud of that, because we know the conditions it was made under. If people say I love your song, and I think I spent $600,000 dollars and recorded it on computer and it took six months. I mean, what's the big deal? Anybody can do that!

All Or Nothing At All
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all

All or nothing at all
If it's love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No I'd rather have nothing at all

Oh please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes and the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall

And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, caught in the undertow
And so you see, I've got to say no, no
All or nothing at all

All or nothing at all

Writer/s: ARTHUR ALTMAN, JACK LAWRENCE
Publisher: CARLIN AMERICA INC
Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

All Or Nothing At All

A songwriter named Arthur Altman wrote the music for this in 1939. The song needed lyrics, so music publishing mogul Lou Levy asked his friend Jack Lawrence to help out. Lawrence had written many popular songs, including "Foolin' Myself" for Billie Holiday, "What Will I Tell My Heart?" for Bing Crosby, and "If I Didn't Care" for The Ink Spots. He agreed and added lyrics to the song. Altman made a few changes to the melody to accommodate the lyrics.

After this was written, Lou Levy found three prominent orchestras to record it. One of the orchestras was led by Freddy Martin, another by Jimmy Dorsey (with vocals by Bob Eberly), and the third by Harry James. James had recently discovered a 24-year-old vocalist from Hoboken, New Jersey, named Frank Sinatra, who sang this in his version. Despite strong renditions from big-name orchestras, all three singles disappeared without a hint of public interest. Even though this was a flop, Sinatra's career took off. He joined Tommy Dorsey, the most successful bandleader of the early '40s, and became the featured vocalist on 39 Top-20 singles. He was a heartthrob sensation, headliner and show business icon. He was the most talked-about performer in the music industry and signed a deal with Columbia Records, one of the biggest labels in the business.

In 1943, in order to obtain both more pay and benefits for its members, the American Federation Of Musicians instituted a "Record Ban" that prohibited professional musicians from all recording activities. At first, the record companies weren't worried. They thought the public wouldn't know, or (especially in current wartime conditions) care whether skilled musicians were performing on the records they purchased. The market was soon flooded with unaccompanied singing groups, amateur accordion players, kazoo bands, bagpipe recitals and harmonica combos. As is the case whenever the public is underestimated, the market was soon drowning in unsold recordings. At Columbia Records, panic prevailed. They had the hottest new singer in show business on their roster and could not record him. Lou Levy came up with the solution for both this particular problem and for the music business in general - since the musician's union was restricting only current recording, they could reissue previous failed recordings by current stars. They found Sinatra's 1939 recording of this song and changed the label credit from "The Harry James Orchestra with vocal by Frank Sinatra" to "Frank Sinatra" with "accompanied by Harry James Orchestra" in small print. This time, the song was a huge hit. It stayed near the top of the charts for half a year and was followed by another 116 Top 40 songs by Sinatra over the next four decades.

In a 1944 interview, Sinatra said: "That was the song, a few days after Harry James and myself recorded it, that gave us our walking papers out of the old Victor Hugo Cafe (a major entertainment venue of the 1930s) on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. The manager came up and waved his hands for us to stop. He said Harry's trumpet playing was too loud for the joint and my singing was just plain lousy and fired Harry, me and the entire band on the spot. He said the two of us couldn't draw flies as an attraction, and I guess he was right - the room was as empty as a barn. It's a funny thing about that song. The recording we made of it five years ago is now one of the top spots among the best sellers. But it's the same old recording. It's also the song I auditioned with for Tommy Dorsey, who signed me on the strength of it. And now it's my first big record."

In 1954, and obscure singer named Joe Foley hit #28 with his version.

In 2000, Jack Lawrence accepted an invitation by the Sheet Music Magazine bimonthly to write an article on song verses. He realized that this and some of his other enduring songs didn't have verses, so he wrote new lyrics to correct the oversight.

This remains one of the most recorded American song standards. It has been recorded by vocalists Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Perry Como, as well as Jazz musicians like John Coltrane, George Shearing, Count Basie and Chet Baker. Other artists to record it include Barry Manilow, Diana Krall, Little Jimmy Scott, Al Jarreau and Little Anthony And The Imperials. (Thanks to Carlin America publishing. For more, check out www.carlinamerica.com )

Charles Pignone, Vice President of Frank Sinatra Enterprises, told us that Sinatra often called this song his first hit and would return to it again and again, reworking it as a ballad and as an uptempo number with a Nelson Riddle arrangement for Strangers in the Night. "That was a song that he continued to sing up until he retired in 1995," Pignone recalled. "And that song came in and out of his concert repertoire through the years, and he always spoke of it very fondly."

Thank God (Interlude) Lyrics

All my life, wanted to love you, wanna make you proud
To never leave you or how they fly
Gave up my loyalty and paid the price
Got me asking why these people wrong you, but you done them right
They giving up and all you do is fight
You sacrificing, you would even die
And I thank God for never leaving me alone even when I'm on my own
Won't break up, stand up strong
And I thank God for showing the road to go
When I'm weak and feeling low, built up, but never show

Sorry, Ms.Jackson, I hate to call in this fashion
I understand it's late and you work harder than average
Plus I'm knowing that you and your son have been clashing
But Kenny called and told me to tell you what happened
He hit a lick with his homies, his homies switched it on him
They spent the money, he got greedy and put the pistol on him
Shots fired from both sides, but nobody died
I thank God he survived and got out alive
But this gon' hurt you to hear
Kenny went to jail, might be facing some years
Police say it's evidence he broke into someone's residence
The neighbors say they witnessed it and plus they found fingerprints
They say the bail like 50 thou
But it's gon' be like 5 thousand to get him out
Man, I told him not to fuck with them niggas
I'm sorry, I don't mean to curse, but I just never trust 'em at all
And he up in the pound, my dawg
And his girl ain't accepting his call
Can't let him fight the charge in his cell, he didn't bail on me
I got 2, we just need the other 3, fight the case on his feet

Thank God (Interlude)

My Krazy Life tells the story of the hardships YG faced growing up in Compton, his gang affiliations and the time he spent locked up in jail. This song finds his mother being informed on the phone of her son's arrest. This track features Big TC and the rapper's Pu$haz Ink labelmate RJ, however YG himself never appears. "I couldn't call her, she didn't want to hear nothing I had to say," YG explained during a RapFix Live interview of his omission from the track. "So I had the homey do a verse talking to my mama, let her know what's going on. That's RJ, that's why I wasn't on the song."

Big TC is the younger brother of rapper/singer Ty Dolla $ign. He recorded his take while locked in prison on a murder charge. "The person you hear on the song first is Big TC, he's in the penitentiary facing life. So him and his homeys be recording songs on their phones and uploading it to YouTube," YG explained.

"We was on YouTube one day and DJ Mustard was playing it for me and I was like, 'That's hard, make a beat to that.' So we got it off of YouTube, turned it to an MP3 file, he pulled it up and made a beat to it."
