Heresy Lyrics

All around that dull gray world
From Moscow to Berlin
People storm the barricades
Walls go tumbling in

The counter-revolution
People smiling through their tears
Who can give them back their lives
And all those wasted years?
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?

All around that dull gray world
Of ideology
People storm the marketplace
And buy up fantasy

The counter-revolution
At the counter of a store
People buy the things they want
And borrow for a little more
All those wasted years
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?

Do we have to be forgiving at last?
What else can we do?
Do we have to say goodbye to the past?
Yes, I guess we do

All around this great big world
All the crap we had to take
Bombs and basement fallout shelters
All our lives at stake

The bloody revolution
All the warheads in its wake
All the fear and suffering
All a big mistake
All those wasted years
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?

Heresy

This song is about the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the fall of communism in Germany, ending 40 years of dictatorial Communist rule. The song also address the fall of communism in Moscow (Russia) and details the waste of time that pasted before freedom was brought to these places, the joy of democracy and emotions of the times.

In the February 1994 issue of Modern Drummer, Neil Peart said he heard the drum pattern when he was in Togo: "I was laying on a rooftop one night and heard two drummers playing in the next valley, and the rhythm stuck in my head. When we started working on the song I realized that beat would complement it well."

Geddy Lee (from the RTB CD Launch radio broadcast): "It's that horrible and wonderful moment all mixed into one when somebody realizes that they've been, you know, had their freedom removed for so many years, and they finally get it back. It must be such a bittersweet moment. All those years.... all those lives that were lost and all the struggle, all the people that were fighting, all the years, and suddenly.... it's all over. And what do they do about all the people that did not survive, who were not lucky enough to be around when the wall fell down. It's an unanswerable question, but it's certainly one to think about."

Alex Lifeson (Guitar Player, November 1991): "Occasionally we do things that are slightly out just to give a particular character to the music. On "Heresy" I'm playing my acoustics in the chorus - especially the second chorus - to get a 12-string, Byrds kind of sound. We wanted to create the effect of a bunch of guys sitting around playing who aren't quite in tune. You can hear it in the acoustic - particularly the [Gibson] J-55, which has a Nashville tuning. Of course you're gonna get that kind of fluctuation anyway when you're playing high up the neck, because the strings are so light." (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington, for all above)

A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young Lyrics

I like fast cars and shop dreams,
Chased a lot of crazy things,
Left behind my share of broken pieces
This morning I turned 36
And you just remember half of it
You wonder how you out-lived Hank or Jesus

I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder
But you kept me from going under
When that current got too heavy

I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

Fear I've had none,
What the hell made you wanna love
A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young?

In the mirror I saw my surprise,
Who knew gray hairs like to hide on a head,
Didn't think he'd live past thirty
If I make it thirty more,
It's the brown that you'll be looking for
As you run your fingers through,
Say slow down honey

I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder
But you kept me from going under
When that current got too heavy

I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

Fear I've had none,
What the hell made you wanna love
A man who was gonna die young?

Call it intuition, or call it crazy
Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies
But I'd gladly stick around if we're together
So baby when you bow your head tonight,
Could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind
And with you I'd like to live forever

A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young

Co-written with "Hell on the Heart" collaborator Jeremy Spillman, this sparse acoustic ballad finds Church mulling over reaching the second half of his thirties and outliving both Jesus and Hank Williams. "You look in the mirror for the first time and there's a couple gray hairs around your temple and you think back to when you were 25," he told Billboard magazine. "I didn't think I'd live long enough to have gray hair. We've been doing this for awhile. Fans have been growing with me. I'm not afraid of the fact that I'm 36. I'm proud."

This is one of the most honest tunes that Church has ever written. He told Radio.com : "That song talks about turning 36, it talks about finding your first gray hairs. And the honesty there - I think too many people, if you are 46 you want to look 36, and if you're 36 you want to look 26. I didn't want to do that. I've earned the gray hairs. So I wanted to show that level of honesty."

Dance Hall Days Lyrics

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel

We were so in vies
In our Dance Hall Days
We were cool on cries
When all you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true

Dance hall days love !

Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears

We were so in vies
In our dance hall days
We were cool on cries
When all you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true

Dance hall days love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days love

Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you

We were so in vies
In our dance hall days
We were cool on cries
When all you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true

Dance hall days love
Dance hall days love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days love

Dance Hall Days

Jack Hues of Wang Chung told Eric Greenberg on the Just My Show podcast: "It begins quite innocent: 'take your baby by the hand,' and then the last verse with 'take your baby by the wrists, and in her mouth an amethyst,' it's all a bit more hallucinogenic in a way, how things that start off simple get complex.

My dad was a musician, and he had a band that played in an old-fashioned dance hall. I used to play with him in that band, so maybe there's sort of the nostalgia that's in the track. It's all quite real, actually, as far as experiences that I had when I was first starting out playing, and playing in public.

Musically, it's that sort of rhythm and that kind of shuffly beat. Technically it's sort of like 3 against 2 (laughs), but we're not gonna talk about all that. It's a particular feel that was sort of unusual at the time, I suppose. It was partly inspired by one of the Adam and the Ants tracks, and that's part of the thinking of using Chris Hughes, who produced Adam's Kings of The Wild Frontier album. I think the record company were keen that we sort of met up with him, and Chris and I have been friends ever since that time - Chris works with me on my jazz records that I've made in the last couple of years. It's been one of the most important friendships of my life."

Even though they are British, this was Wang Chung's only hit in the UK. After it proved to be a bigger hit in the US and was featured in the film To Live And Die In LA, they decided to ignore the UK market and concentrate on the US. This proved an astute decision as they recorded two more American top 10 hits, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" (#2 in 1986) and "Let's Go!" (#9 in 1987), whilst not even recording a minor chart placing in the UK.

Hues explained on Just My Show: "I think it has perhaps created a slight air of unreality around it. Because Wang Chung in Britain is sort of obscure '80s band. I think 'Dance Hall Days' was a fairly substantial hit over here, although it didn't chart high, it was in the charts for a long time. It took a long time going up, and a long time going down, like a proper record should do. And we did Top of the Pops a couple of times, which was a big BBC show where promising bands - or not so promising bands - got their exposure. But I think the divide between the US and the UK for me probably worked, in that I'm quite a private person, and at the time of 'Dance Hall Days' I had three children, and I wasn't married at the time, but my family life is very important to me. Being able to come home and be low key was great. I could leave all of the craziness behind in the States and just be myself, as it were, when I got back here."

This was featured in the 1997 movie Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

Wang Chung frontman Jack Hues' real name is Jeremy Ryder. He took the stage name as a persona, which British musicians like Joe Strummer and Johnny Rotten were doing at the time. He is the biological father of British actor Jack Ryder, who played Jaime in the British Soap Opera Eastenders. (thanks, Dave - Ipswich, England)

When this song was on the charts, Wang Chung was touring in America as the opening act for The Cars, who were supporting their album Heartbeat City.

Like a Wrecking Ball Lyrics

I, I been gone I been gone too long singing my songs on the road.
Another town, one more show and I'm coming home.
Don't give a damn what these keys I hold
I'm gonna knock down that front door, and

I'ma find out what that house is made of.
Been too many nights since its felt us make love.
I wanna rock some Sheetrock, knock some pictures off the wall.
Love you baby, Like a Wrecking Ball.

You, look at you send me one more shot sitting on a bathroom sink.
Damn you really turn me on, painting your toenails pink.
Easy baby before you say but if I can make it just one more day, and

That old house is gonna be shaking.
I hope those bricks and boards can take it.
But I won't be surprised if the whole damn place just falls.
I'm gonna rock you baby, like a wrecking ball.

And that old house is gonna be shaking.
Rafter and rocking foundation quaking.
Crash right through the front door, back you up against the wall.
Love you baby take it right there baby rock you baby, like a wrecking ball.

Like a Wrecking Ball

Church said to Spin magazine of this vintage-soul sex jam: "I've always hated where we get cute with subjects like that. Innuendo. I'm of the old school, the Al Green, that age of, 'We're talkin' about sex.' Just come out and say it."

Jam! Music asked Church if he damned Miley Cyrus for releasing a similarly titled song after he'd recorded his own wrecking ball tune? He replied: "I hadn't heard the Miley Cyrus song, honestly I don't listen to that world a whole lot. But as somebody said something about it and I just looked at them blankly, and I guess at the time it was like the biggest song in the world and I was like, 'I don't think I know the song.' Then they played it and I was like, 'Well, it's different.'"

Cyrus wasn't the first person to use the heavy steel ball that demolishes large buildings as a metaphor for destruction. Other artists that have sung of a wrecking ball include: Aubrey O'Day, Bruce Springsteen, Five Finger Death Punch, Harvey Danger, Jack's Mannequin and Lifehouse.

This song about a passionate reunion after a long road trip was a late addition to The Outsiders. "(The project) is a whole entity," producer Jay Joyce explained in CMA Close Up feature. "But we'll sit back and think, 'What is this little family (of songs) missing?' And we're smart enough to stand back and let the record reveal itself. Sure, you've got to show up and do the work. But Eric came into the studio with three new tunes this time, so you've got to allow for a great song at the last minute. On the last record, I think it was 'Springsteen' that came in at the last minute. This time it was 'Wrecking Ball.'"

Eric Church co-wrote the song with Casey Beathard, who has also co-penned Top 10 singles for Gary Allan, Billy Ray Cyrus, Trace Adkins, and Kenny Chesney. The Nashville songwriter also contributed to a number of The Outsiders tracks, including "Devil, Devil (Prelude: Princess of Darkness)," "The Joint," "That's Damn Rock & Roll" and the title tune.

Right Now Lyrics

I'm feeling mean today
Not lost, not blown away
Just irritated and quite hated
Self control breaks down
Why's everything so tame
I like my life insane
I'm fabricating and debating
Who I'm gonna kick around

Right Now
Can't find a way
To get across the hate
When I see you

Right now
I feel it scratch inside
I want to slash and beat you

Right now
I rip apart the things inside
That excite you

Right now
I can't control myself
But I fucking hate you!

I'm feeling cold today
Not hurt just fucked away
I'm devastated and frustrated
God I feel so bound
So why I'd feel the need
I think it's time to bleed
I'm gonna cut myself and
Watch the blood hit the ground

Right now
Can't find a way
To get across the hate
When I see you

Right now
I feel it scratch inside
I want to slash and beat you

Right now
I rip apart the things inside
That live beside you

Right now
I can't control myself
But I fucking hate you!

You open your mouth again
I swear I'm gonna break it
You open your mouth again,
By god I cannot take it

Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up

Right now
Can't find a way
To get across the hate
When I see you

Right now
I feel it scratch inside
I want to slash and beat you

Right now
I rip apart the things inside
That live beside you

Right now
I can't control myself
But I fucking hate you!

I fuckin' hate you [Repeat x8]

Song About A Girl Lyrics

This ain't about tailgates
Ain't about bonfires
Ain't about souped up cars, water towers
Or drowning in a bottle of Jack
This ain't about Chevy's
Ain't about money
Ain't about blue suede shoes, coo-coo-ca-choos
Got nothin' to do with that

It's a Song About A Girl
It goes like this
Ah, little heartbreak queen
Rockin' the jeans
Baby, just read my lips
It's a song about a girl
The one you can't forget
Ah, blows your mind every time
You think it's gonna be a hit
It's a song about a girl

Ah, it's a song about you, oh, yeah
This ain't about hometowns
Ain't about back roads
Ain't about shoulda, coulda, wish I woulda
Rear views looking back
This ain't about goodbyes
Ain't about come-backs
Oh, got nothing to do with the stars and the moon
Man you're gettin' way off track

It's a song about a girl
It goes like this
Ah, little heartbreak queen
Rockin' the jeans
Baby, just read my lips
It's a song about a girl
The one you can't forget
Ah, blows your mind every time
You think it's gonna be a hit
It's a song about a girl

Baby you ooo ooo ooo, yeah you ooo ooo ooo, yeah you ooo ooo, know who you are
Baby you ooo ooo ooo, yeah you ooo ooo ooo, read my lips, hear my heart
Listen to this guitar

It's a song about a girl
It goes like this
Ah, little heartbreak queen
Rockin' the jeans
Baby, just read my lips
It's a song about a girl

Every time
Ah, don't think too hard
Dig too deep
Or read between the lines

It's a song about a girl
It goes like this
Ah, little heartbreak queen
Rockin' the jeans
Baby, just read my lips
It's a song about a girl
The one you can't forget
Ah, blows your mind every time
You think it's gonna be a hit
It's a song about a girl, girl oh

It's a song about a girl, girl, oh, yeah
It's a song about a girl, girl, oh

It's a song about a girl

This ain't about tailgates
Ain't about bonfires
Ain't about souped up cars, water towers
Drowning in a bottle of Jack

Song About A Girl

Paslay explained how all of the songs on his self-titled debut album fit together really well. "They're all the way from 10 years ago to probably a year ago between the 11 songs," he said. "I believe every song could be played on the radio and be a hit, you know, but it is wild when you think about how do all these songs get to be on a record. And it is – it's about timing."

"I wrote this song, 'Song About a Girl,' it's a pretty new song and went in the studio and cut it, and it's like, 'Holy crap! This is a fun song. It needs to be on the record,'" Paslay added. "The bummer thing is you knock off a song that was on the record before it. There's a lot of songs that deserve to be heard, and they will be eventually, but these are the 11 on the album, and I think they fit together really well to kinda at least introduce people to me about what I like singing about."

The third single to be released from Eric Paslay, this explains that most, if not all, tunes are about a girl. The singer co-wrote the tune with Jessi Alexander and Gordie Sampson and he recalled the story of the song: "Jessi Alexander came in with that idea and [we] wrote it with Gordie Sampson. We were just sitting there and just saying that everything we write – Jessi has written tons of songs. Gordie has written tons of songs," Paslay said. "They're both great artists, and I've written my share of songs, and we're just like 'You know what? They're all about girls,' at least for most guy writers in country music, it's a song about a girl."

"The first lines of the song, 'This ain't about tailgates, ain't about bonfires, ain't about souped up cars, water towers and drowning a bottle of Jack.' That's all things that everybody loves," Paslay added. "And it was just kind of a thing of what can we get to make people go, 'Huh? What do you say?' And the fun thing is there's nothing sexy about a tailgate, unless your babe is sitting in it. There's nothing sexy about a bonfire unless your girl is glowing in it. And I sure don't think a water tower is sexy unless my girlfriend's name is written on it, or if you're getting over your babe in a bottle of Jack."

"But it was just fun writing that song about thinking about not clichés, but in a way you always talk about these things and it's all because of the girl," he continued. "'Every time don't think too hard, dig too deep or read between the lines, it's a song about a girl.' And as a songwriter and as a singer I love singing that song because it's smart, it's fun and it's easy to hold your baby's hand and shake it with."

The first verse features the lyric "coo-coo-ca-choos," a shout-out to The Beatles' "I Am The Walrus."

"Sometimes, the sound of the words will happen before the actual words," Gordie Sampson noted to Billboard magazine. "So Eric will mumble something like, 'Oo, oo, oo-oooh,' and then it's just about trying to find a word that fits in that hole, like 'coo-coo-ca-choo.' I remember reading an article about Shania Twain and Mutt Lange working together and them talking about that's how she often would write, finding the sound of the words before finding the words themselves."

"I'm hoping ["coo-coo-ca-choo"] makes people question and dig in deeper," Jessi Alexander added. "I mean, that's what I did. When I heard different references about older artists, I was looking for them. So hopefully, it'll bring a little light there."

Paslay wanted to shoot the video in a grand, old ballroom, and director Wes Edwards happily obliged. "[We] found this gorgeous, really dilapidated opera house in Pulaski, Tennessee, who's doors had been closed since the 1930s. The place is just beautiful, but beautiful in the most decayed, decrepit way possible. There's something about that. I really like spaces that have history. I like funky, dusty, kind of disgusting-looking places," Edwards explained in a Songfacts interview . Country singer Jason Aldean is familiar with this interest. For his "Amarillo Sky," the director had the band playing in a tumbledown barn and for "Fly Over States," an airplane graveyard.

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside This Woman's Work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you've got a little life in you yet.
I know you've got a lot of strength left.
I know you've got a little life in you yet.
I know you've got a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it go.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
Though we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it go
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That we never said.
All the things we should've done,
Though we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

This Woman's Work

Bush wrote this for a sequence in the movie She's Having A Baby where a man is waiting helplessly in a hospital while his wife gives birth in the next room. She wrote it from the man's point of view.

A cover by the R&B American artist Maxwell was released as a single in 2001, peaking at #56 on the Hot 100.

Bush told the NME: "It was written for John Hughes' film She's Having A Baby. Really light comedy about this young guy who gets married, very much a kid. His wife is pregnant and it's alright until they get to the hospital and the baby's in the breach position.

That's the sequence I have to write the songs about and it's really very moving, him in the waiting room, having flashbacks of his wife and him going for walks, decoration... It's exploring his sadness and guilt, suddenly it's the point where he has to grow up. He'd been such a wally up to this point."

Bush re-recorded the song for her 2011 album, Director's Cut, in which she updated a selection of tracks from The Sensual World and The Red Shoes.

The song returned to the UK singles chart at #63 in April 2012 after contestant Hope Murphy performed it on Britain's Got Talent. Maxwell's cover also entered the top 75 for the first time when it reached #41 the same week.

Mz. Hyde Lyrics

In the daylight,
I’m your sweetheart,
You’re goody-two-shoes prude is a work of art
But you don’t know me,
And soon you won’t forget,
Bad as can be, yeah you know I’m not so innocent

Better beware I go bump in the night,
Devil-may-care with a lust for life,
And I know you,
Can’t resist me,
Soon though you,
Are so addicted
Boy you better run for your life!

Welcome to the nightmare in my head, (Oh god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed, (Oh god!)
Just give in and you won’t be sorry,
Welcome to my other side,
Hello it’s Mz Hyde!

I can be the bitch,
I can play the whore,
Or your fairytale princess who could ask for more
A touch of wicked,
A pinch of risqué,
Good girl gone bad, my poison is your remedy

Better be scared, better be afraid,
Now that the beast is out of her cage,
And I know you,
Wanna risk it,
Soon though you,
Are so addicted
Boy you better run for your life!

Welcome to the nightmare in my head, (My god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed, (My god!)
Just give in and you won’t be sorry,
Welcome to my evil side,
Hello it’s Mz Hyde!
Hello it’s Mz Hyde!
Hello it’s Mz Hyde!

I’m the spider crawling down your spine,
Underneath your skin
I will gently violate your mind,
Before I tuck you in
Put on the blindfold
There’s no way to be sure,
Which girl you’ll get to know!
(It’s me Lizzy, I swear)

Welcome to the nightmare in my head, (My god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed, (My god!)
Just give in and you won’t be sorry,
The nightmare in my head, (Oh god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed, (Oh god!)
Just give in and you won’t be sorry,
Welcome to my evil side,
Hello it’s Mz Hyde!
Hello it’s Mz Hyde!

Mz. Hyde

This song was seen as the focal point of Halestorm's The Strange Case Of... album. When the band were writing songs for the new record, they had ballads, like "Beautiful With You," and heavy songs like "You Call Me a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing," but nothing to truly tie them together. This song, which addresses Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale's Jekyll/Hyde personality wound up serving as the thematic glue that binded the record together. "It was one of the later songs we wrote," Hale told Yahoo! Music : "At one point, we were looking at a good chunk of 17 to 50 songs that were all over the place. The guys in the band were saying, 'Well, how can we put all these songs onto this record? We love them all, but there's no common theme.' So I came to them with this idea about this Mz. Hyde character. It was actually a personal thing because it was a character I invented that helped me come out of my shell when I was a kid. Growing up, I was a very shy and introverted, so I more or less had to invent Mz. Hyde in order to be the rock star I wanted to be onstage."

"For years, I've been writing about these two sides of myself, and I wanted to capture that in a song.," Hele continued. "So I brought this to the guys, and all three of them looked at me at the same time and said, 'Oh my God, that's it! Lzzy, you are Mz. Hyde! Once we put this song on the record, everything else makes sense because we have the soft side of you and then the harder side of you. That works because you're like a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde thing!' And I was like, 'Well, okay, I'm glad we were able to work that out, basically at my expense.'"

Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novel The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde was written by the Scottish novelist in three days in his Bournemouth villa . Wracked by coughing fits caused by tuberculosis and drinking himself into stupors to try to counteract this, Stevenson had a nightmare about a man being pressed into a cabinet where he swallowed a drug and changed into another being. This gave him the basic outline of the plot, which he based on William Brodie a respected businessman and Edinburgh town councillor by day and a leader of a gang of robbers by night.

Buffalo Soldier Lyrics

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
There was a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

I mean it, when I analyze the stench
To me, it makes a lot of sense
How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America

If you know your history
Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I am

I'm just a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier
Win the war for America

Dreadie, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo, woe yoe yoe

Woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe

Buffalo Soldier, trodding through the land
Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand
Trodding through the land, yea, yea

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier
Win the war for America
Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Driven from the mainland
To the heart of the caribbean

Singing, woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe

Woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yoe yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe

Trodding through San Juan
In the arms of America
Trodding through Jamaica, a Buffalo Soldier
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Woe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
Woe yoe yeo yo, yo yo woe yo woe yo yoe

Buffalo Soldier

The Buffalo Soldiers were a segregated regiment of black cavalry fighters during the American campaign to rid the West of "Indians" so that "civilized" white people could gain the lands used by Native Americans. Ironically, many of the soldiers were slaves taken from Africa. Bob Marley gives a small history lesson as a protest song about the black man's role in building the country that continues to oppress him. (thanks, James - Rochester, NY)

Released two years after Marley's death, this song was one of the last that he recorded. Issued as a single, it reached #4 on the UK charts, where Marley had as much success posthumously as he did when he was alive: seven more released charted after this one.

The song was included on Confrontation (1983), which was the first Bob Marley album released after his death, and also on the hits collection Legend (1984), which became the best-selling Reggae album of all time.

I Like You Lyrics

Too many nights I stayed awake until the dawn
Since I've always got my mind and my heart torn
I touch a rose woke up myself up on the floor

But there's something I can feel when I'm with you
I recognize it, it's something so brand new
I can't help it, hope that you're feeling it too

I Like You a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)
I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)

I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)
I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)

You think I learned from all those times my heart was crushed
I'm a victim of that appetite, that lust
'Cause I want that feeling, loving is that much

Now I know why I really shouldn't play with fire
But with true love I should be so tired
But the way you move just fills me with desire

I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)
I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)

I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)
I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)

I can't help it
Now you got a hold on me
I can't help it
You're taking control of me

I can't help it
Now you got a hold on me
I can't help it
You're taking control of me

I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)
I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)

I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)
I like you a little bit (yeah)
I like you a little bit
(More than I should)

I Like You

This collaboration with London producer George Fitzgerald is a straight-talking song about sex. Katy told The Sun: "Men get away with singing about what they like doing so why shouldn't we women? That one is for all my female fans for sure."

Circumstances Lyrics

A boy alone, so far from home
Endless rooftops from my window
I felt the gloom of empty rooms
On rainy afternoons
Sometimes in confusion
I felt so lost and disillusioned
Innocence gave me confidence
To go up against reality

All the same we take our chances
Laughed at by time
Tricked by Circumstances
Plus ca change
Plus c'est la meme chose
The more that things change
The more they stay the same

Now I've gained some understanding
Of the only world that we see
Things that I once dreamed of
Have become reality
These walls that still surround me
Still contain the same old me
Just one more who's searching for
A world that ought to be

All the same we take our chances
Laughed at by time
Tricked by circumstances
Plus ca change
Plus c'est la meme chose
The more that things change
The more they stay the same

Circumstances

Neil Peart wrote this about his time in Europe before returning to Canada and eventually joining Rush. He traveled to London to go to where he thought the hot music scene was at the time. While in London, since he wasn't getting anywhere with his drumming, he ended up working at a tourist gift shop just to get by. He returned to Canada about a year and a half later.

Last Train Lyrics

Last Train

King the Kid is a Pop-Rock trio whose viral takes on Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" and Taylor Swift's "22" garnered millions of YouTube views. They comprise:

Tthe band's drummer, Florida native Ricky Ficarellii, who moved out to Los Angeles to make it big in the music industry.

Guitarist and songwriter David Michael Frank, who is a classically trained singer that was born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Seattle, Washington.

Jose Mostajo, who grew up in Lima, Peru, and has lived in Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico, before eventually residing in Atlanta, Georgia. He has played the guitar since the age of 13.

So why King The Kid? They explained to Bop and Tiger Beat Online : "It was in our long list of band names that we've been building on for a long time (with potential names such as: Meat Shampoo, The Pijama Llama, Dirty Santa, Reese Withoutherspoon, etc). But 'King The Kid' was really representative of our band's attitude during its inception. The name references self-empowerment and taking your life into your own hands and living life your own way (hence Live Like Royalty)."

This single previewed their debut album: "For 'Last Train,' the music came first," David Michael told Billboard magazine. "When it came down to writing lyrics we knew we wanted something that we had experienced while still being a relatable topic. It's about a long-distance relationship, and the final moments of being together before the last goodbye and leaving each other's side. Being in a band that travels often, we've all been there, and the song wrote itself pretty effortlessly."
