A Dozen Roses and a Six-Pack Lyrics


There's that flower shop on Main.
Lord it's been too long since it's seen my face.
I probably should've stopped by yesterday.
Just a few miles from our house.
There's a neon sign flashing "coldest beer in town."
Is she gone for good, well it's hard to say
But I'm going to be ready either way.

I got a dozen roses if she comes back home
One for every time I left her lonely waiting on me
Why did it take so long to see?
And this six pack might not be enough
But it's a damn good start if we're ending us.
We'll either work it out or we won't.
But I got a dozen roses if she comes back home, and a six pack if she don't.

I'm prayin' love will bring her back
Oh, just one more chance that's all I'll ever ask
I sure hope she ain't a memory yet.
But she left her book there on the bed
Would a woman leave a man like that?

I got a dozen roses if she comes back home
One for every time I left her lonely waiting on me
Why did it take so long to see?
And this six pack might not be enough
But it's a damn good start if we're ending us.
We'll either work it out or we won't.
But I got a dozen roses if she comes back home, and a six pack if she don't.

Is she gone for good, well it's hard to say.
But I'm going to be ready either way.
I got a dozen roses if she comes back home
One for every time I left her lonely waitin' on me, baby
Why'd it take so long to see?
And this six pack might not be enough
But it's a damn good start if we're ending us.
We'll either work it out or we won't.
But I got a dozen roses if she comes back home
Yeah I got this dozen roses in case she comes back home
And a six pack if she don't.
And a six pack if she don't.

A Dozen Roses and a Six-Pack
  • Swindell told Taste of Country that this song tells his story, along with "The Back Roads and the Back Row."

    "I grew up on '90s country, back where it was a time where it was more about the lyrics and not the cool sound of things," he said. "I remember when my parents got divorced. That Clay Walker song, 'This Woman and This Man.' Stuff like that, that as a kid made me feel something. To me, songs like 'Dozen Roses & a Six-Pack' and 'The Back Roads & the Back Row' are songs about where I come from."

    Cute Without The E (Cut from the Team) Lyrics


    Your lipstick, his collar don't bother Angel
    I know exactly what goes on

    When everything you'll get is
    Everything that you've wanted, princess
    well which would you prefer
    My finger on the trigger, or
    (Meet face down, down across your floor)
    My face down, down across your floor
    (Meet face down, down across your floor)
    Well just so long as this thing is loaded

    And will you tell all your friends
    You've got your gun to my head
    This all was only wishful thinkin',
    This all was only wishful thinkin'

    And will you tell all your friends
    You've got your gun to my head
    This all was only wishful thinkin'
    This all was only wishful thinkin'
    Let's go

    Don't bother trying to explain Angel
    I know exactly what goes on when you're on and
    How about I'm outside of your window
    How about I'm outside of your window
    Watchin' him keep the details covered
    You're such a sucker for a sweet talker, yeah

    And will you tell all your friends
    You've got your gun to my head
    This all was only wishful thinkin'
    This all was only wishful thinkin'

    And will you tell all your friends
    You've got your gun to my head
    This all was only wishful thinkin'
    This all was only wishful thinkin'

    Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
    A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
    I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
    I know you well enough to know you never loved me

    Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
    A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
    I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
    I know you well enough to know

    Why can't I feel anything
    From anyone other than you?

    And all of this was all your fault
    And all of this

    I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
    For this simple reason
    I just need to keep you in mind
    As something larger than life

    I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
    For this simple reason is true
    I just need to keep you in mind
    As something larger than life

    I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
    For this simple reason is true
    I just need to keep you in mind
    As something larger than life

    The times I felt you on my breath
    They scraped me to the bone
    The times I fell the give no rest
    And they held me down
    You've been hit now, you've been sorry

    Cold Summer
  • This Brett Scallions penned song dates back to the early '00s, but only got recorded when producer Eddie Wohl and the band got to hear the tune. "I recorded that song probably three or four times already and had kinda lost hope in it," Scallions told Billboard magazine. "But then (Wohl) and the guys in the band heard it and said, 'Man, we gotta do that song!' 'Really?'"

    "I had a full-on hangover; it had been with me so long I was very indifferent about it.," the Fuel vocalist continued. "But we actually got it right this time. I played it for my wife and a number of other people and they were all like, 'Man, that's a hit! You've got to put this song on the record!' So I guess I'm outnumbered this time."

    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
  • 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."

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    Seven Seas of Rhye Lyrics


    Open up your mind and let me step inside
    Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
    It's so easy when you know the rules
    It's so easy all you have to do
    Is fall in love
    Play the game
    Everybody play the game of love
    Ooh yeah

    When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
    Light another cigarette and let yourself go
    This is your life
    Don't play hard to get
    It's a free world
    All you have to do is fall in love
    Play the game - yeah
    Everybody play the game of love
    Ooh yeah

    My game of love has just begun
    Love runs from my head down to my toes
    My love is pumping through my veins
    Play the game
    Driving me insane
    Come come come come come play the game
    Play the game play the game play the game

    Play the game
    Everybody play the game of love
    This is your life - don't play hard to get
    It's a free free world
    All you have to do is fall in love
    Play the game
    Yeah play the game of love
    Your life - don't play hard to get
    It's a free free world
    All you have to do is fall in love
    Play the game yeah everybody play the game of love

    Seven Seas of Rhye
  • 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."
