Empty Spaces Lyrics


What shall we use
To fill the Empty Spaces
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill
The final places?
How should I complete the wall

Empty Spaces
  • If part of this song is played backwards, you can hear this: "Congratulations. You have just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont...
    -Roger! Carolyne's on the phone!
    -Okay.

    Pink was the main character in Pink Floyd's film The Wall.

    After this first message, the voice of engineer James Guthrie is heard over an intercom, shouting out "Roger! Carolyne's on the phone!" This is a reference to Carolyne Christie, who was Roger Waters' wife from 1976-1992.
  • In the movie, an extended version was used, whereas in the album it ends with "How can i complete the wall?" which is only the sixth line. (thanks, charlie - Thomaston, DC)
  • The version used in The Wall is called "What Shall We Do Now." This shortened version was used on the album because there wasn't enough room for the the longer track. (thanks, Sarah - Guess, Canada)
  • On the album version, the song is more than half over when the lyrics begin. The first 1:28 of the song are completely instrumental and the song is a total of 2:08. The secret message at the beginning, however, begins at around 1:12, which is also over halfway through the song. (thanks, Chris - Bradenton, FL)

    Fog on the Tyne Lyrics


    Fog on the Tyne
  • This bittersweet celebration of life on the dole in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne was written by Alan Hull, the lead singer of Tyneside folk rockers Lindisfarne. He originally performed it during his solo folk club shows.
  • When Lindisfarne learned they would be working on their second album with Bob Dylan producer Bob Johnston, they were delighted. However this rousing number was originally not intended for the record. During recording, that band played a date at the Royal Festival Hall, at which they performed "Fog." "It went down a storm at the Festival Hall," drummer Ray Laidlaw recalled to Uncut magazine, "and when we came back, Bob said, 'How come you haven't played me that?' We said, 'We don't think much of it...' It wouldn't have been on the album if it hadn't been for him."

    The song not only became the title track of Lindisfarne's breakthrough album in England, it also became the band's signature tune.
  • A heavily reworked version of the song with vocals by Geordie footballer Paul Gascoigne was recorded in 1990 under the title "Fog on the Tyne (Revisited)." Released in the wake of Gazza's renown after the 1990 World Cup, it peaked at #2 in the UK singles charts.

    John Cage Bubblegum
  • The lyrics of this song are in French. A rough English translation is: "It's the most beautiful, and it's the saddest, and it's the most beautiful land in the world."
  • John Cage is one of the most famous experimental music composers in history, known for his avant garde approach to his work. He is quite possibly best known for "4'33", in which a performer sits at a piano for approximately four and a half minutes making no sounds intentionally. What "John Cage Bubblegum" is or what it has to do with this song is not clear, but Stereolab's song titles are almost always nonsensical. (thanks, Matt - pitts, PA, for above 2)

    He's The One I'm Bringing Back Lyrics


    I hear them all say
    I'm going crazy
    But I don't give a fuss
    Cause He's The One I'm Bringing Back

    All my life I've
    Lived on the sideline
    But now I've had enough
    And he's the one I'm bringing back

    So you can keep all your little remarks
    To yourself
    I know our ages may be far apart
    But you can't tell any reasons not to
    He's got eyes up and locked onto
    Put your eyes on someone else

    I hear them all say
    I'm going crazy
    But I don't give a fuss
    Cause he's the one I'm bringing back

    All my life I've
    Lived on the sideline
    But now I've had enough
    And he's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back

    Go out together on a Tuesday night
    Never rest
    He's got a car that goes 100 miles
    You'd probably guess
    I crash when he holds me
    Forgot what you ever told me
    Put your eyes on someone else

    I hear them all say
    I'm going crazy
    But I don't give a fuss
    Cause he's the one I'm bringing back

    All my life I've
    Lived on the sideline
    But now I've had enough
    And he's the one I'm bringing back

    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
    Friday, Saturday, Sunday

    I hear them all say
    I'm going crazy
    But I don't give a fuss
    Cause he's the one I'm bringing back

    All my life I've
    Lived on the sideline
    But now I've had enough
    And he's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back back back
    He's the one I'm bringing back

    He's The One I'm Bringing Back
  • Nina explained the song's meaning to The Sun: "That song is about being in a relationship that people around you disapprove of," she said. "It's about not listening to anyone's opinions because you loved being with that person. The subject was quite old-fashioned and reminded me of the 1950s romance, so I wanted to give it a retro feel."
  • Nina wrote the song with former Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson. He quit the band at the end of 2012 to work full-time as a producer and songwriter at his 'Chewdio' studios in East London.

  • Jack Black stars in the video with Dave Grohl. The pair play rednecks who meet up in a motel room, at first doing manly things, but then messing about in women's clothes and having a night of debauchery.

    Black had previously appeared in the Foo Fighters video for "Learn to Fly" along with his Tenacious D partner Kyle Gass; both clips were directed by ex-Lemonhead Jesse Peretz. Grohl appeared in the Tenacious D video for "Tribute" in 2001.
  • This is one of what Dave Grohl considers the "four good songs" on the One by One album, which was a tedious one to record. The other three are "All My Life," "Times Like These" and "Tired Of You."

    Cinnamon and Lesbians Lyrics


    Cinnamon and Lesbians
  • This song fuses Portland resident Steven Malkmus' fantasy about the Green Tortoise bus – a cheap way of getting from San Francisco to Portland in the 1970s – with an encounter he had with a "ne'er-do-well hippy guy," who declared that the people who died in the Twin Towers on 9/11 deserved their fate because they were working for The Man. "It's a Portland song, but it's Portland in the 80s, before I was here," Malkmus explained to Uncut magazine, "when cinema and was avant garde and lesbianism was shocking to some people."

    "Joanna (Bolme, bass) was worried the title might be un-PC, so I asked our publicist in New York," he added. "He's like, 'No. Those cinnamon and there's lesbians. What's the problem?'"
  • Malkmus incorporated the riff from the Grateful Dead's "St. Stephen" into this song. However, the frontman has said in interviews that he's not much of a Deadhead. He told American Songwriter magazine: "Yeah. It's interesting, but it's pretty simple. I like the early stuff, recorded and live, like Pigpen and the acid-y stuff. And I like Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, and I don't really like it after that. And I didn't go to shows, and I don't listen to bootlegs much. I'm approaching things from albums and what they recorded. That's what I know. I'm the suburban guy who just got the albums. I just created my own vision of things; I didn't really get into the scene."

    Racing through my brain (there she goes again)
    And I just can't contain
    This feeling that remains

    There she goes
    There she goes again
    She calls my name
    Pulls my train
    No one else could heal my pain
    And I just can't contain
    This feeling that remains

    There she goes (she calls my name)
    There she goes again (she calls my name)
    Chasing down my lane (she calls my name)

    There She Goes
  • This was originally recorded by the The La's, a promising band from England who developed a cult following in America. They released it as a single in 1988, but it didn't chart. In 1990, when The La's finally released their first album, they re-released this as a single - this time it charted at #13 in the UK and #49 in the US. Critics loved the album, but the La's disappeared soon after it was released.
  • Sixpence None The Richer's version became a hit when it was used in the movie Snow Day. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)
  • Many people believe the song is about shooting up heroin, with "she" being the drug. (thanks, Ric - London, England)
  • This was used in commercials for birth control pills Ortho Tri-cylcen LO.

    Shotgun Rider Lyrics


    Roll, won’t you come roll with me slow, fast, full speed
    Girl wherever sweet time takes us
    Hang, with me down this old road
    Only god knows where we’ll go
    Don’t matter long as I’ve got your love

    I don’t ever want to wake up
    Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
    Another Voice calling me baby
    On the other end of the phone
    A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
    Before dinner on Friday night
    No I don’t ever wanna know, oh oh
    No other Shotgun Rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, Woohoo Oh O

    Slide, slide over nice and close
    Lay your head down on my shoulder
    You can fall asleep I’ll let you
    Dream, life aint nothing but a dream, don’t wanna be
    Cruisin’ through this dream without you

    I don’t ever want to wake up
    Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
    Another Voice calling me baby
    On the other end of the phone
    A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
    Before dinner on Friday night
    No I don’t ever wanna know, oh oh
    No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, woo hoo oh oh
    No other shotgun rider, oh oh

    I don’t ever want to wake up
    Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
    Another Voice calling me baby
    On the other end of the phone
    A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
    Before dinner on Friday night
    No I don’t ever wanna know, oh oh
    No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, woo hoo oh oh

    No other shotgun rider, oh oh

    Singin’ to the radio, oh oh

    You’re my shotgun rider

    Shotgun Rider
  • This romantic song finds McGraw lovingly singing of never wanting another shotgun rider beside him. He just wants it to be with that special someone.

    "I don't ever want to wake up, looking into someone else's eyes.
    I don't want no other shotgun rider beside me, singing to the radio."

    McGraw is singing of his wife, Faith Hill, whom he's been married to since 1996.
  • Does the title ring a bell? Back in 2007 McGraw recorded a duet with Faith Hill titled "Shotgun Rider" for his 2007 album Let It Go. This is an entirely different song.
  • McGraw premiered the song on February 19, 2014 during Jimmy Fallon's first week hosting of The Tonight Show. "I thought since it's Jimmy's first week we should give his audience something they can't get anywhere else," McGraw explained of his choice of a new tune. "It's been a great week for the show already, and I'm honored Jimmy invited me to the party!"
  • The song was written by Hillary Lindsey (Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take The Wheel"), Marv Green (Lonestar's "Amazed") and Troy Verges (Hunter Hayes' "Wanted").

    McGraw said: "This is one of those songs that really paints a picture and sets a mood. In my mind, you look over and see the person that you love next to you sitting in the front seat, and you think, 'How good do I have it? Life is perfect.'"
  • The live video, which vacillates between black-and-white and color, was directed by Bennett Miller. The filmmaker is best known for directing acclaimed movies such as Capote (2005), Moneyball (2011), and Foxcatcher (2014). Previous music clips on Miller's resume include Bob Dylan's 2006 song "When the Deal Goes Down" and Scarlett Johansson's cut "Falling Down."

    The clip was shot during McGraw's concert in New York City, which was part of the American Express Unstaged live stream music series.
  • The song was Tim McGraw's 25th country #1 and his first since "Felt Good On My Lips" topped the charts for three weeks in January 2011.

  • This was Queen's first entry in the UK single chart. Brian May in Q magazine March 2008: "Our first breakthrough, made with the idea that if radio was going to play it, everything had to explode. And it did work."
  • As the song fades out, part of a British seaside song called "Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside," is sung. (thanks, Tom - Trowbridge, England, for above 2)
  • Freddie Mercury penned the song basing it on a fantasy world called Rhye that he had created with his sister, Kashmira. They were brought up on the African island of Zanzibar in the Zoroastrianism religion, founded in Iran, and these fuelled Mercury's flights of fancy. Several other of the Queen singer's early songs feature the mysterious land of Rhye, including Lily Of The Valley, My Fairy King and The March Of The Black Queen.
  • The song's success enabled Mercury to quit his day job working at a stall in London's Kensington Market.
  • The success of the single earned Queen their first ever appearance on Top of the Pops, the musical variety show that The Beatles, and many other British bands, aspired to be on when they started. Judging by In the Days of our Lives documentary Queen appears to have mixed view on their appearance. Roger Taylor was critical: "There was a strike on at the BBC so we recorded it in the weather studio. It was rubbish, no one actually played, just some aging disc jockeys. And the drums were plastic, so they made this 'dook' noise when you hit them."

    Brian May on the other hand was more positive: "it was an exciting experience, because hey here you are on Top of the Pops and it's all happening."

  • The first single from Trey Songz's sixth album, starts with the singer proclaiming "Put your hands in the air, Trigga," referencing both his nickname and album title.
  • The song's hook samples Teena Marie's 1988 single "Ooo La La La," which was later interpolated on the chorus of the Fugees' 1996 hip hop hit tune "Fu-Gee-La." Songz re-imagines it as an ode to sex.
  • The song was produced by DJ Mustard, the Californian producer responsible for the beats on such club ready cuts as Tyga's "Rack City," 2 Chainz's "I'm Different" and Kid Ink's "Show Me."

    The World Is Not Enough Lyrics


    I know how to hurt
    I know how to heal
    I know what to show
    And what to conceal
    I know when to talk
    And I know when to touch
    No one ever died from wanting too much

    Chorus:
    The World Is Not Enough
    But it is such a perfect place to start my love
    And if you're strong enough
    Together we can take the world apart my love

    People like us
    Know how to survive
    There's no point in living
    If you can't feel alive
    We know when to kiss
    And we know when to kill
    If we can't have it all
    Then nobody will

    Chorus
    I...I feel safe
    I...I feel scared
    I...I feel ready
    And yet unprepared

    Chorus
    The world is not enough
    The world is not enough

    The World Is Not Enough
  • This is for the theme song to the James Bond movie of the same name. The lyrics were written by Don Black, who also co-wrote "Diamonds Are Forever." David Arnold, who wrote the music, has also composed for British sketch show Little Britain and other Bond films, including Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
  • In the music video, Shirley Manson is a robot built to look identical to a singer. She kills the singer and takes her place in a concert. The crowd cheers for her, not knowing she carries a bomb inside her set to detonate at the concert. (thanks, Beth - MN, for above 2)
  • In 2006, IGN placed the song ninth on their list of the top ten Bond themes.

    Sweet Spot Lyrics


    Sweet Spot
  • This song finds Hayden Thorpe and Tom Fleming singing of a dream state, halfway between asleep and awake over picked guitars and sparse synth. Fleming told NME: "This has a very clean guitar and synth, which we were careful not to overuse. When we sat down to record this album, we realized, 'This wants to be a pop record now.'"
  • Hayden Thorpe told DIY magazine the tune went through a huge amount of versions. "We almost wrote it off," he said. "We just couldn't get it right. The barometer was flinging either from being this Ibiza thing straight back into this song you couldn't focus on. And we couldn't get it to level out. Like most moments on the record, when we had half an hour of demo time left we scrapped what we had and started again. Within half an hour the dual guitar line came about."

    "The song itself has been around for a long time," Thorpe continued. It's about euthanasia, really. What I think a beautiful pop song should be able to do is take a very difficult subject and make it sound completely weightless; throw it up in the air like it's a feather. That's what I wanted 'Sweet Spot' to do. This might sound morbid, but the song also refers to how death and sex are from the same creature. It's the snake's head and the snake's tail."
