P.L.U.C.K. Lyrics

Elimination
Die
Why walk down

A whole race, genocide
Taken away all of our pride
A whole race, genocide
Taken away
Watch them all fall down

Revolution
The only solution
The armed response
Of an entire nation
Revolution, the only solution
We've taken all your shit
Now it's time for restitution

Recognition
Restoration
Reparation
Recognition
Restoration
Reparation
Watch them all fall down

Revolution
The only solution
The armed response
Of an entire nation
Revolution
The only solution
We've taken all your shit
Now it's time for restitution

The plan was mastered
And called genocide
(Never want to
See you around)
Took all the children
And then we died
(Never want to
See you around)
The few that remained
Were never found
(Never want to
See you around)
All in a system of down
Down, down, down
Walk down

Watch them all fall down
Revolution
The only solution
The armed response
Of an entire nation
Revolution
The only solution
We've taken all your shit
Now it's time for restitution

The plan was mastered
And called genocide
(Never want to
See you around)
Took all the children
And then we died
(Never want to
See you around)
The few that remained
Were never found
(Never want to
See you around)
All in a system, down

This is about the Armenian Genocide in 1915 that was caused by the Turkish army. P.L.U.C.K. Stands for "Politically Lying Unholy Cowardly Killers."

Serj Tankian sings most of the lyrics. Daron Malakian yells "watch them all fall down" before the chorus and sings "Never wanna see you around" at the middle and end part of the song. (thanks, Scott Baddwin - edmonton, Canada, for all above)

The Take Off and Landing of Everything Lyrics

You have the time-worn shimmer of tarantella on a Tuscan plain
Patiently listen as dull reminiscences fall from my jaws in a jumble again
You hold a lamp to my slumber
I resurface just to do a new number on you

You kiss the wrist of the hand that has twisted itself all into your hair
You close the blinds and doors behind me and clear all obstacles on the stair
You are an open book
I’m on the bathroom floor
Yours is an open door
I’m throwing ballast overboard

You are a genius teetering
Hurricane wild be calm as the deep
Every living thing needs watering
I miss loving you
Actually loving you
Words on my bedroom wall
Speak of my stone cold care

A prayer to The Take Off and Landing of Everything
Leaving your lips as we took to the sky
And a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
I’ll say for you and I will for all time
Wrote on my bedroom wall
Spoke of your deep true care
Over my shoulder and just as I leave
I see you slipping the world up your sleeve
Well take it and run
Go on, go on
That’s why it’s there

In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good
In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good

In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good
In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good

In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good
In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good

In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good
In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything
To the take off and landing of everything good

The Take Off and Landing of Everything

Elbow's sixth album was originally titled Carry Her, Carry Me, before being changed to The Take Off and Landing of Everything. "It always happens, this," Guy Garvey told Q Magazine. "The title's now from a song there - this huge, cacophonous thing, born of our love for space rock, prog, Primal Scream and Spiritualized."

He continued: "It's to do with the fact that there have been lots of life events. There are five members of the band, people have split up, got together, had children, it never stops this stuff. Especially round the 40 mark; there's lots of re-evaluations in life, and yet I wanted to remain celebratory about that."

"Everybody's feeling relief with remorse, next to joy, next to loss.," Garvey added. "But I think think laughing very hard and worrying very little is a good way to keep young."

Elbow achieved their first-ever UK #1 album when The Take Off and Landing of Everything debuted at the peak position. It took the band 24 years to achieve their first chart topper, having first played together as teenagers at college in 1990.

Much of The Take Off and Landing of Everything was inspired by Guy Garvey's breakup with his long-term partner Emma Jane Unsworth. The title song is about beginnings and endings. The Elbow frontman explained to Q magazine: "There is such a relief when some things run its course and you put it to bed. Not, 'Thank God I'm not doing that any more' but, 'Thank God I haven't done too much damage to someone I care about deeply.'"

"I wanted the song to be a celebration, not just of the throes of great relationships, but of the timely end of things," he continued. "The landings are as important as the take-offs."

Sweating Bullets Lyrics

Hello me, meet the real me
And my misfit's way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possession
Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story, tell it to Reader's Digest!

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me and
My air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit and my
Palms are getting wet, Sweating Bullets

Hello me, it's me again
You can subdue but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Sinking down to your level
Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know
His limitations

Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm sharpening the axe and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets

Well, me, it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its blacktooth grin
If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me
And my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands
And I don't know where I've been

Once you committed me
Now you've acquitted me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa
Sweating bullets

Sweating Bullets

This song finds a man (apparently schizophrenic) being confronted by his dark side, who warns him that he cannot be repressed much longer. When this sinister side shows up, the man wakes up with blood stains on his hands, wondering what he did.

Dave Mustaine has said that the song is about himself, and that he wrote it after "it was pointed out to me that I'm kind of schizophrenic and that I live inside my head."

He revealed on VH1's That Metal Show, however, that the song was inspired by a friend of his girlfriend (and later, his wife), Pam. This friend suffered from anxiety attacks - Mustaine called her "s--thouse crazy." She would take Pam to a party, have an anxiety spell and leave her; Mustaine would get the call and have to pick her up.

After Mustaine wrote this song, Pam thought it was about her, but Dave assured her she was "not that crazy." Said Mustaine, "I wrote this song about her nutty friend."

Dimebag Darrell of Pantera loved this song and got a tattoo of a black tooth grin after a tour, a reference to the line, in this song, "Someday you too will know my pain and smile its black tooth grin." Darrell also created a drink he named after the song, which is mostly whiskey with a splash of Coke.

Regarding the line, Dave Mustaine told Billboard: "I think there's no better description of the joy of a good fight than when you see a boxer who's smiling after he's won, but he's had a tooth knocked out."

The music video was directed by Wayne Isham, who also did Megadeth's videos for "Symphony Of Destruction" and "99 Ways To Die." Mustaine says he started off sober for the shoot, but ended up very drunk by the end, and he even kicked a hole in the wall at one point. The video shows multiple images of Mustaine as it takes us through his descent into madness.

Unfinished Monkey Business

During the making of the Stone Roses long-awaited second album The Second Coming, media outlets were keen to find any leaked details of sessions the band had undertaken at the studio. According to Q magazine, Brit pop band Dodgy had spent time at the same studio and when the Guardian asked their drummer Matthew Priest for details, he told them that Brown had got heavily into dub reggae. Priest added that the Roses' vocalist, who because of his long arms had been labeled by the press as 'simian lead singer,' would only respond to people addressing him as 'King Monkey.' Brown was highly amused by this fictitious story, to the point that he called his debut solo album "Unfinished Monkey Business."

Sweet Georgia Brown Lyrics

Sweet Georgia Brown

This is famous as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, who officially adopted it in 1952. They use it for their "Magic Circles" when the players stand in a circle and pass around the ball, displaying their impressive techniques and dexterity.

This was written in the 1920s by Maceo Pinkard and Ken Casey. It was popularized by the big bandleader Ben Bernie in the 1920s, and he was given a co-writer credit for recording it.

The most famous version, with whistling and bone-cracking, was a 1949 instrumental recorded by Brother Bones & His Shadows. This is the version used by the Harlem Globetrotters.

The original version had lyrics that were about a black prostitute. Many people and groups have covered this with lyrics, including Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, The Beatles, and The Grateful Dead, and the lyrics seem to vary by cover. The Beatles' version contains the line "In Liverpool she even dared to criticize the Beatles' hair with their whole fan club standing there." The Grateful Dead only performed their version live. (thanks, Crystal - Springfield, MO, for all above)

This song was a showstopper in the 1976 Broadway musical Bubbling Brown Sugar, where it was performed by Vivian Reed (who earned a Tony nomination for the role; the production was also nominated for Best Musical). The show lasted just one year on Broadway, but continued on as a touring production. For three years, Bettye LaVette played the lead role in this production.

Walk Like A Man (You Can Call Me Your Man)

Grand Funk drummer Don Brewer wrote this swaggering rocker and sang lead. Says Brewer: "It was just another song we were jamming on in the rehearsal studio, and those lyrics came to mind. I started singing, 'Walk like a man, call me your man.' It came out of jamming along and coming up with chord changes that seemed to sound right with it."

The Four Seasons had a hit in 1963 with a song called "Walk Like a Man," which prompted a lawsuit against Grand Funk. As a result, the title of Grand Funk's song was changed to "Walk Like A Man (You Can Call Me Your Man)."

As Bob Gaudio of The Four Seasons explained , you can't copyright a title, but the Grand Funk song took it too far with the lyric "Walk like a man, and talk like a man."

This was the follow up single to "We're An American Band," which was also written and sung by Brewer and became their first #1 hit. Grand Funk was a huge concert draw at the time and sold lots of albums. Most critics hated them, but the publicity seemed to have a positive effect on their record sales.

The Lumberjack Lyrics

I was born in the backwoods
Of a two-bit nowhere town
Fathered up some rock 'n' roll (baby)
So you mothers could boogie down
I ain't whistling dixie
No I'm a rebel with a groove
All around the world they go 'round and 'round
When they dig on my new stainless steel sound

[Chorus]
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm gonna cut you down to size
I'm a lumberjack baby
And you're the one that gets my prize
And when you hear my motor running
You know I surely be coppin' a rise
So I'm gonna crank it up and cut it down

I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm a lumberjack baby
But I ain't jacked my lumber baby
Since my chain saw you

The Lumberjack

Monty Python weren't the only act to record a song about a lumberjack. Kennesaw, Georgia band Jackyl's debut single also concerns a worker in the logging industry. Their southern rocker peaked at #24 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart in 1992.

Yes, that's a real chainsaw solo on the track, courtesy of lead singer Jesse James Dupree. Before they were signed to Geffen Records, a chainsaw bit was part of their stage show, with Dupree cutting stuff up and wielding it as an instrument during jam sections. When Jackyl got their major-label deal, Dupree figured it was the end of the chainsaw, since they were now big-time. John Kalodner at Geffen (who signed the band) thought otherwise, insisting they keep the chainsaw in the show and use it on this track.

In our interview with Jesse James Dupree , he said that this song was written and performed the same day in a burst of inspiration. Dupree was headed from Atlanta to South Carolina, where he was meeting the band for a show. Along the way, he wrote the song in his head. Said Dupree: "We got there, and there was a bass guitar right when I walked in the door. I picked up the bass guitar, figured out what key I was doing it in, and told the band that we were going to kick off a three-chord turnaround in A. And it's been 'The Lumberjack' ever since."

The song has a blues groove and follows a typical lyrical format of the genre:

I'm a ____ baby
And I'm going to ____

The blanks can be filled with any number of metaphors, and in this case they are "lumberjack" and "cut you down to size." And like many blues songs of this vein, it's filled with sexual references.

The video was directed by Greg Vernon, who also did Aerosmith's "Eat The Rich." The clip is a mix of live footage, hillbilly clichés, and classroom scenes. As he did in the Aerosmith "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" video, John Kalodner is in the clip as an apparent woman who turns out to be a (bearded) man. Of course, the chainsaw has a feature role in the clip.

Jackyl is in the Guinness Book of World Records for performing 100 concerts in 50 days. (thanks, Wayne - Crockett, TX)

Another day wasted out of time
I can't get out of this
Altered state of mind
I'm going overboard
My conscience meets decline
Into Reality
I know this can't be fine

[Chorus]
Cause I'm all messed up
Making prefect nonsense
Drowning in my doubt too well
Cause I'm all messed up
Going nowhere fast but circles in my mind
So blind

Who are these voices in my head
I can't go on like this
Living like the dead
I haven't slept so long
Feeling sad I dread
I'm talking to myself
Forgot what I just said

[Chorus]
Well I hold my only enemy as closely as a friend
And I sold my own reality to further my descent

Self-destruction taking over it's so easy to pretend
Introduction to this nightmare may never end

Can anyone help me drag my heels
I'm running overtime
I can't hold down my meals
My mind is racing by
Staring blankly feels
Like pulling out my teeth
While this engine winds

Crackity Jones

Lead singer Frank Black wrote the lyrics about the frighteningly violent (crackity), gay roommate he had when he lived in Puerto Rico in 1985. He recalled to Mojo magazine May 2014: "Looking back, he just had some mental health issues. I found him frightening, a little mysterious." (thanks, Eulbie - New York, NY)

Like he did on several Pixies songs, Frank Black inserted some Spanish words and phrases in the lyric. During the six months he spent in Puerto Rico (on an exchange program when he was a student at the University of Massachusetts), Black learned just a bit of Spanish, so it was always a bit disjointed when he used the language in his songs. Here's the translation of the Spanish in this song:

"paco picopiedra" - Fred Flintstone (should really be "Pedro Picapiedra")
"la muñeca" - the doll
"hospedaje" - dorm room
"goofiar" - goof off
"automovil" - car

At Pixies shows, the mosh pits would amp up during this song, as it's a perfect track to release some aggression.

Empty Handed Lyrics

If I came to you Empty Handed
A barren ocean
With nothing at all
And if I came to you empty hearted
Searching for pieces
After the fall
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
But I'm tired of going on without believing
And love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind

If I fell into you, would it be close enough
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is
If I had nothing to give

If you came to me empty handed
I'd bring the ocean to bring you home
And if you came to me empty hearted
I'd find the pieces to make you own

If I fell into you, would it be close enough
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is
If I had nothing to give

If I am a promise
Will you let me break again
I will be your congress, I will only let you ban
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
But I'm tired of going on without believing
And love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind

If I fell into you, would it be close enough
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is
If I had nothing to give

If I had nothing to give

Pet Lyrics

Don't fret precious I'm here
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you
Like I do
Like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils
See they don't give a fuck about you
Like I do

Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
One and the same I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drum
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son
Go back to sleep

Maynard Keenan has always stressed paying more attention to the emotions the music brings out in you then what the lyrics actually say. The songs of A Perfect Circle are open for individual interpretations, which the band encourages.

This song could be a stab at the War on Terror. The first 2 lines seem to be from the point of view of the President of the US, the line "Go back to sleep," is very closely linked to a bit by comedian Bill Hicks, who lead singer Maynard Keenan is a fan of. It's basically saying, don't look at what's actually going on, just let the government tell you what's really happening.
"Lay your head down child, I won't let the boogeyman come" - Seems a reference to how the media tries to keep us scared, with orange level terrorism alerts and whatnot, but that our government is somehow in control and can protect us at all times.
"Pay no mind to the rabble" - Could be about war protesters or anyone in general who has spoken out against the Bush administration and been labeled traitors.
The next bit could mean something about giving the government more power, letting them make choices for you to keep you safe and ignorant. Rather, to keep certain people safe from being impeached or thrown out of office.Next, we have him sort of repeating a few earlier ideas, about how we should just let this war go on while bodies pile up, just so long as we don't really figure out why we are at war in the first place.
"Head down, go to sleep" - It seems this song is about the current administration keeping the ignorant masses unaware of what's really happening, much the same way they use reverse psychology to make the public think certain bills, laws and acts, like the clean air act, are doing any good at all, while doing irreparable harm to our environment or standing in the world's view. This ignorance has long been a topic that Maynard has sung about. (thanks, Bill - Topeka, KS)

The song can be viewed as being about 2 bodies - a controlling, maybe obsessive body and a weaker body. It can be related to the relationships between god and the world, father and son, government and society, or drugs and the user. The relationship that seems to be the most relevant however seems to be drugs and the user - the whole album seems to be based around drug addiction. (thanks, Emily-Jane - perth, WA)

The "New World Order" that is referenced in this song is what some conspiracy theorists and political analysts call a modern globalization organization which consists of political leaders, media tycoons, leaders of business and industry from around the world. (thanks, aaron - zanesville, OH)

Like a hurricane without warning
I woke up Sunday Morning
Had to face The Truth
The truth about me and you
Ah baby ooh

We don't even kiss
Can't live my life like this
Time to face the truth baby
I don't love you like I used to ooh

You know that we grew apart
Scared to leave
Just don't want to be lonely
Instead we wasted to much time
Living lies
It's time we face the truth baby

The title track of Ledisi's sixth album was written by the singer in New York City at 3AM. It finds Ledisi revealing all the feelings that she went through after breaking up with her man. "I'm not a male-bashing songwriter or singer," she told The Boombox . "So I try to be mindful of that. I always believe there are two sides to every story. I want to uplift [with my music], not bash."
