Exquisite Tenderness Lyrics

Exquisite Tenderness

This ballad was the first song that Red Dragon Cartel frontman Jake E. Lee ever wrote. He told Glide Magazine ; "I started playing piano when I was six and I didn't start playing guitar until I was twelve. So right around when I was thirteen or fourteen, on the piano, I just came up with that. That was the first song I ever wrote and I never knew what to do with it. I mean, it wasn't an Ozzy song, it really didn't seem like any song that you would put on a rock record, and I just never really knew what to do with it, but I always had it."

"The studio that Ron (Mancuso co-producer) and I recorded in is right next to a restaurant that has a Jazz lounge in it ," Lee continued, "and we were in there late at night and I saw a piano and I was like, I hadn't seen one of these in a long time (laughs) so I sat down and I started playing that and Ron said, 'What's that?' And I said, 'That's the first song I ever wrote, never knew what to do with it.' And Ron said, 'I know what to do with it' (laughs) and I said, 'What?' and he says, 'Let's put it on the record.' 'Really?' It just seemed really weird to me but he said, 'I think it would be a great way to end a rock record, with something like that.' And I think he was right. I'm just thankful that after forty-plus years I'd finally be able to put that song on something."

Tha Crossroads Lyrics

Bone Bone Bone Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone
Now tell me whatcha gonna do
when there ain't no where to run (tell me what)
(When judgment comes for you, when judgment comes for you)
And whatcha gonna do
when there aint no where to hide (tell me what)
When judgment comes for you (Cause it's gonna come for you)

Let's all bring it in for Wally, Eazy sees uncle Charlie
Little Boo, God's got him and I'm gonna miss everybody
I only roll with Bone my gang look to where they lay
When playing with destiny, plays too deep for me to say
Lil' Layzie came to me, told me if he should decease well then please
Bury me by my grand-grand and when you can, come follow me

God bless you working on a plan to Heaven
Follow the Lord all 24/7 days, GOD is who we praise
even though the devil's all up in my face
But he keeping me safe and in my place, say grace
For the case to race with a chance to face the judge
And I'm guessing my soul won't budge
Grudge because there's no mercy for thugs
Oh what can I do it's all about our family and how we roll
Can I get a witness let it unfold
We living our lives to eternal our soul aye-oh-aye-oh

Prayyyyyyy, and we pray and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Still we laced, now follow me roll stroll
Whether is tell of his Heaven
Come let's go take a visit of people that's long gone
Darris, Wally, Eazy, Terry, Boo
It's steadily creeping up on the family
Exactly how many days we got lasting
While you laughin we're passing, passing away
So y'all go rest y'all souls
Cause I know I'ma meet you up at the crossreads
Y'all know y'all forever got love from them Bone Thugs baby

Now Eazy's long gone
Really wish he would come home
But when it's time to die
Gotta go bye bye
All a thug could do is cry, cry
Why they kill my dog and man
I miss my uncle Charles y'all
and he shoudn't be gone, in front of his home
What they did to Boo was wrong
Oh so wrong, oh so wrong
Gotta hold on gotta stay strong
When the day comes
Better believe Bone got a shoulder you can lean on (lean on)

Hey and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
everday, everyday, everyday, everyday

See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads

And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss everybody when I'm gone

Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
That's how we roll
Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
That's how we roll
Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
That's how we roll
And I'm asking the good LORD with a sigh
It's I he told me we live to die

What's up with murder y'all, see my little cousin was hung
Somebody was really wrong, everybody want to test us dawg
Then Miss Sleazy set up Eazy to fall, you know why we sinnin
And Krayzie intended on ending it when it ends
Wanna come again, again and again

Tha Crossroads

This song was dedicated to Eazy-E (real name: Eric Wright), a rapper and music mogul who was a member of the group NWA. He died of AIDS in 1995; Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were signed to his label, Ruthless Records.

The Isley Brothers' song "Make Me Say It Again Girl" was sampled onto this song.

This song won the 1996 Grammy for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.

There are 12 credited songwriters on this song, making it the record amount of songwriters credited for a #1 American hit. When "This Is Why I'm Hot" by Mims reached pole position in 2007 it created a new record, with 13 credited songwriters.

In 2002 the British group Blazin' Squad released a cover version, which topped the UK charts. All 10 members were approximately 16 when this track was released and had just taken their GCSE school exams. One of the group's members, Tommy B, says in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "I heard the track on MTV and thought it would be good to cover. It's one of the Top 10 biggest rap tracks of all-time in America, it spent eight weeks at #1 there, but didn't reach those heights over here, so I thought we could give it a UK vibe."

Masterminds! We gon' get this forever
You know whenever we link up, my nigga
They think this shit comes from outer space or something
Nigga, let's get this money nigga
Masterminds: ROC, MMG! Jay, I got it, I got it

Four stacks for the heels on my bitch feet
Car seats still smelling like 10 ki's
Tell a plug that I'm lookin' for increase
Wingstop, fat boy need a 10 piece
Say a nigga name and the car start
Nigga switching lane to lane like WalMart
Sippin Bordeaux out in Bordeaux
Hazard lights flashing on the four-door
Switch the Benzo for the Enzo
Back to the Benzo when the ends low
Switch my old bitch for my new bitch
'Cause my new bitch something like a nympho
Fuck the game raw when I came in it
Getting money ever since I came in it
You couldn't stop me if you tried
Motherfucker cause The Devil Is A Lie

Big guns and big whips
Rich nigga talkin' big shit
Double cup, gold wrist
Double up on that blow, bitch
Two mil on that I-95
Bow your head cuz it's time to pay tax

The devil is a lie, bitch I'm the proof
The devil is a lie, the devil is a lie
Bitch I'm a lie, the devil is a lie

Nigga's stick dirty but his dick clean
My money goin' on the deep end
Talkin' half a milli for the weekend
Contract like a nigga play defense
Curtains in the maybach bitch peek in
Now the bitches wanna car hop
6 cribs for the cars in the car lot
Dope boys on the goal nigga
Went gold 6 times for a goal nigga
Black bottle and a bad bitch
Club all money where the cash is

The Devil Is A Lie

This single from Rick Ross' sixth album finds The Miami boss and Jay Z spitting rhymes over Major Seven and K.E. on the Track's horn-laden beat. "We're pushing the envelope once again and it's just one of those records I can't wait to hit the streets," said Ross before the song's release on December 19, 2013. "We went in another direction but it's just one of those records that's gonna speak for itself and everybody's gonna have their opinion of it, but it's most definitely what the streets need."

Jay addresses the Illuminati rumors that have plagued his career on his verse. According to this conspiracy theory, the world is controlled by the Illuminati, which masterminds events and dictates world affairs through governments and corporations with the ultimate aim of a totalitarian, one-world government.

The theory follows that Hova must be among the ranks, since he is so successful and influential. The Roc Nation leader takes umbrage at this accusation, questioning on this song why a black man can't be successful without it being part of a plot.

This was the sixth collaboration between Ross and Jay, which started with "Hustlin'" from Rozay's 2006 debut album Port of Miami. The hook-up was followed by such song's as the Hova and Dre team-up "3 Kings" and "F—WithMeYouKnowIGotIt," off the Roc Nation boss' Magna Carta Holy Grail LP. "Me coming into the game in '06 off of my first single, which caused a big war, at the end of the day, it was the conversations I had with Jay Z that ultimately made me choose Def Jam Records," Ross told MTV News.
"Ever since then I always came to the table with new records to let him check me. From my second album, to my third and fourth, anytime I needed a collaboration, he always made it happen. He's been out of the country [for] some events, I've [called] him last minute and he made it happens. So there's was always been that genuine respect."

Major Seven and K.E.'s horn-based beat samples Gene Williams' 1970 soul single "Don't Let Your Love Fade Away."

New Speedway Boogie Lyrics

Please don't dominate the rap, Jack,
If you've got nothing new to say.
If you please, don't back up the track
This train's got to run today.

I spent a little time on the mountain,
I spent a little time on the hill,
I heard some say "Better run away",
Others say "Better stand still".

Now I don't know, but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold,
Other hand I have heard it said,
It's just as hard with the weight of lead.

Who can deny, who can deny,
It's not just a change in style?
One step done and another begun
And I wonder how many miles.

I spent a little time on the mountain,
I spent a little time on the hill,
I heard some say "Better run away",
Others say "Better stand still".

Now I don't know, but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold,
Other hand I have heard it said,
It's just as hard with the weight of lead.

Things went down we don't understand,
But I think in time we will.
Now, I don't know, but I was told
In the heat of the sun a man died of cold.

Keep on coming or stand and wait,
With the sun so dark and the hour so late.
You can overlook the lack, Jack,
Of any other highway to ride.

It's got no signs or dividing lines
And very few rules to guide.
I spent a little time on the mountain,
I spent a little time on the hill,
I heard some say "Better run away",
Others say "Better stand still".

Now I don't know, but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold,
Other hand I have heard it said,
It's just as hard with the weight of lead.
I saw things getting out of hand,
I guess they always will.

Now I don't know, but I been told
If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load.
I don't know whose back's that strong,
Maybe find out before too long.

One way or another, one way or another,
One way or another, this darkness got to give.
One way or another, one way or another,
One way or another, this darkness got to give.
One way or another, one way or another,
One way or another, this darkness got to give.

New Speedway Boogie

This was written about the disaster at the Altamont Speedway concert in 1969 when the Rolling Stones hired the Hells Angels to work security. The lyric: "In the heat of the sun, a man died of cold" refers to Meridith Hunter, an audience member who was killed by the Hell's Angels. Garcia referred to the concert as "...a nice day in HELL." (thanks, Chris - San Francisco, CA)

According to Blair Jackson in Goin' Down The Road: A Grateful Dead Traveling Companion , Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter wrote this as a response to an indictment of the Altamont affair by Rock critic Ralph Gleason. Hence the lead-in lyrics, "Please don't dominate the rap Jack, if you've got nothing new to say." (thanks, Rich - Gurnee, IL)

'Cross The Plains Lyrics

'Cross The Plains

Travis Edmonson was an American singer-songwriter from San Francisco, California, who recorded material both solo and as one half of the folk duo Bud & Travis. Edmonson befriended the young David Crosby and treated the aspiring hipster to his first taste of marijuana. He also recorded this Crosby-penned song for his Travis On His Own album.

This was the first song that David Crosby ever wrote. He told Mojo magazine (February 2014): "l've always been fascinated with wagon trains and the movement of people west. It wasn't a very good song."

He added: "I think the first song I wrote that was any good was 'Everybody's Been Burned,' which I did when l was with The Byrds."

One Voice Lyrics

Just One Voice
Singing in the darkness
All it takes is one voice
Singing so they hear what's on your mind
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than

One voice
Singing in the darkness
Joining with your one voice
Each and every note another rock
And hands are joined and fears unlock

If only one voice
Would start it on it's own
You need just one voice
Facing the unknown
And then that one voice
Would never be alone
It takes that one voice

Pa pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa

It takes that one voice
Just one voice
Singing in the darkness
All it takes just one voice
Shout it out and let it ring
Just one voice
It takes that one voice
And everyone will sing

Dogs Lyrics

The first time we met you were a kennel maid,
You gave me a tip I got me forecast paid,
You were holding a greyhound in trap number one,
Your white coat was shining in the afternoon sun.

Now we're both together,
We're never gonna break apart, no no,
'Cause we're a happy couple you and me,
With a greyhound at either knee.

I'll have ten shillings to win on Camera Flash, young man,
What dog's that, it's a deuce, look at it.

There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
We're a happy couple you and me,
With a greyhound at either knee.

We go to the dog track on Saturday night,
We put all our money on a dog that we like,
A kiss and a cuddle, a hot meat pie,
Two dollar tickets and a starry sky.

There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
'Ceptin' you, little darling,
We're a happy couple you and me,
With a baby on either knee.

Yes it's you little darling,
Yes it's you little darling,
Now it's you little darling,
Now it's you.

Girl, where's me wage packet ?????,
Ah I'll put twenty-five knicker please on Gallop Printer,
Oh, I hope the wife don't find out,
Yes, it's sure to win, isn't it,
Yes, I know, it's a good dog, I saw it run at White City,
Just last week, broke the record, Gallop Printer,
Nice dog, yes, lovely form, lovely buttocks.

Dogs

This tribute to White City's dog track was inspired by Pet Townshend's friend Chris Morphet, who had a fascination with greyhound racing. Morphet contributed harmonica and backing vocals to the tune.

The song was not a major commercial success at the time of its release and has been virtually disowned by the group since. According to Roger Daltry, Townshend had Small Faces bassist Ronnie Lane in mind when he wrote it. The vocalist told Uncut magazine: "He was such a lovely geezer, Ronnie, they were great guys, The Faces, all of them. But I think it'd have been better if Pete had just given the song to Ronnie in the first place. As a Who record, it was all a bit frivolous for me."

A musically unrelated sequel "Dogs Part 2" was later released as the B-side of "Pinball Wizard" in 1969.

One Said To The Other
You'll never find another
Now that you're on your own
To discover
You're living undercover
Now that you're on your *own

She's not really bothered by a riot in Milan
Only gets excited by the cheap shot brands
Dressed up in a number that she got from Japan
Powdered up, converted with solarium tan

You know that she won't leave here alone
(You know that she won't leave here alone)
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone

One said to the other
You'll never find another
Now that you're on your own
To discover
You're living undercover
Now that you're on your *own

She's not really in touch with the government plans
Much too busy looking for a one night stand
You don't have to show her before you get to know her
And she's the type who plays the fool I don't understand

You know that she won't leave here alone
(You know that she won't leave here alone)
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone

One said to the other
You'll never find another
Now that you're on your own
To discover
You're living undercover
Now that you're on your *own

She ain't ever gonna leave here alone
(Ain't Ever gonna leave here alone)
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone

She's not really bothered by the riot in Milan
Only gets excited by the cheap shot
Dressed up in a number that she got from Japan
Powdered up, covered in solarium tan

You know that she won't leave here alone
(Know that she won't leave here alone)
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone
(Ain't ever gonna leave here alone)
Oh you know that she won't leave here alone
(Know that she won't leave here alone)
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone

One said to the other
You'll never find another
Now that you're on your own

The Deep Lyrics

The Deep

Director Alistair Legrand was excited to finally put an old idea to use when he teamed up with Data Romance for this music video. He remembers: "The idea for this video came to me when I was listening to this song I really liked a lot. I couldn't stop visualizing these robotic forms engaged in this street-style battle dancing…I kept thinking it would be perfect for a song that wasn't hip hop."

Legrand stumbled upon "jookin," a Memphis dance style that combined his robotic visions with ballet-like grace, and its master performer Lil' Buck. Along with co-choreographing the routines, Lil' Buck and his crew performed in the video.

Ajay Bhattacharyya told Toro Magazine why they chose Legrand to direct the video: "When we found Alistair's treatment, we gravitated toward it because it was so simple and barebones. It was dark, and didn't try to paint a plot, like putting our song to a movie or something. Guy-girl drama. (His plan) appealed to us way more, the visceral quality of it. I think there's a lot of darkness in our music that isn't evident on the surface."

This song was featured on the TV series Lost Girl in the 2011 episode "Fae Gone Wild."

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas Darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with you

Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But ev'ryday's a holiday
When I'm near to you

The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it ev'ry day
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say

That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas eve
I wish I were with you

The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say

That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you

Merry Christmas Darling

This was the Carpenters' first attempt at Christmas music. The lyric was written in 1946 by Frank Pooler, who was the choir director at California State University, Long Beach. Karen and Richard Carpenter were both part of the choir. In 1966, at Pooler's request, Richard composed the music for this ballad, which was first released in 1970. This sparked the interest and idea of a Christmas album by the Carpenters, and on October 13, 1978, Christmas Portrait was released. (thanks, TimmT - Orange, CA)

In the UK, this was re-released in 1990 as a single with "(They Long to Be) Close to You," which is when it hit #25.

Although this sounds like a happier song, there's more going on under the surface. In our interview with Data Romance, Amy Kirkpatrick talked about how it was inspired by an inner struggle: "I wrote it at a time where I was trying to be okay with everything that was going on, and I really wasn't. It's when you're telling yourself 'everything's fine, I'll do this for you, it's no big deal,' but on the inside you're contradicting what you're saying."

Danger in the shape of something wild,
Stranger dressed in black she's a hungry child.
No-one knows who she is or what her name is.
I don't know where she came from or what her game is.

Hot Child In The City,
Hot child in the city,
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty,
Yeah,
Hot child in the city.

So young to be loose and on her own.
Young boys they all want to take her home.
When she comes downtown the boys all stop and stare.
When she comes downtown she walks like she just don't care,
Yeah.

Hot child in the city,
Hot child in the city,
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty,
Yeah,
Hot child in the city.

Come on down to my place baby, we'll talk about love.
Come on down to my place baby, we'll make love.
Hot child in the city. Hot child in the city.
Hot child in the city runnin' wild and lookin' pretty,
Hot child in the city.

Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city.

This song is about child prostitution. Gilder had moved from Vancouver to Los Angeles, and was amazed at how many young girls he saw working as prostitutes on Hollywood Boulevard. (thanks, Jeanette - Hawthorne, CA)

This was Gilder's only hit. He was previously in a group called Sweeney Todd.

This took 21 weeks to get to #1 in the US, a record at the time. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)
