Wichita Lineman Lyrics

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wire,
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you,
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

And I need you more than want you,
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

Wichita Lineman

This was written by Jimmy Webb, who also wrote Campbell's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and "Galveston." He was driving along the Kansas-Oklahoma border when he saw a lonesome telephone lineman working atop a telephone pole. This gave him the idea for the song.

In our interview with Jimmy Webb , he explained how he puts himself into the shoes of the subjects of this songs. Said Webb: "I've never worked with high-tension wires or anything like that. My characters were all ordinary guys. They were all blue-collar guys who did ordinary jobs. As Billy Joel likes to say, which is pretty accurate, he said, 'They're ordinary people thinking extraordinary thoughts.' I always appreciated that comment, because I thought it was very close to what I was doing or what I was trying to do. And they came from ordinary towns. They came from places like Galveston and Wichita and places like that.

No, I never worked for the phone company. But then, I'm not a journalist. I'm not Woody Guthrie. I'm a songwriter and I can write about anything I want to. I feel that you should know something about what you're doing and you should have an image, and I have a very specific image of a guy I saw working up on the wires out in the Oklahoma panhandle one time with a telephone in his hand talking to somebody. And this exquisite aesthetic balance of all these telephone poles just decreasing in size as they got further and further away from the viewer - that being me - and as I passed him, he began to diminish in size. The country is so flat, it was like this one quick snapshot of this guy rigged up on a pole with this telephone in his hand. And this song came about, really, from wondering what that was like, what it would be like to be working up on a telephone pole and what would you be talking about? Was he talking to his girlfriend? Probably just doing one of those checks where they called up and said, 'Mile marker 46,' you know. 'Everything's working so far.'"

While recording the song in the studio, Campbell felt something was out of place. He couldn't capture the same feel of the song he'd felt when Webb sang the demo as he accompanied himself on his Hammond organ. Campbell decided that the only way to get the right vibe was to add Webb's Hammond organ to the song's instrumentation.

The chiming at the fade that is meant to signify telephone signals was done on a massive church organ. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Glen Campbell told the Daily Mail about his excitement on first hearing this song. He recalled that Webb used to write in the studio as Campbell did his recording. When the songwriter sang to him the parts of this song that he'd initially written, Campbell knew it was a hit. He continued: "I implored him to finish it, and even offered to help. But he told me to go and play my guitar and leave the writing to him." Webb added in our interview: "On certain songs, the magic is undeniable: 'Wichita Lineman' and 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix.' And it's almost as though the song was waiting for the singer and the singer was waiting for the song."

Before he became a solo star, Campbell was a prominent session musician, and on this track, he employed many of the people he used to play alongside on studio dates. Campbell played guitar along with Al Casey and James Burton, Carol Kaye was on bass, Jim Gordon on drums, and Al DeLory played piano. According to Carol Kaye, these session players would add a lot of notes to make more out of the parts that were written, and she created most of the intro on this track. "Wichita Lineman" is one of her favorites of the hundreds of songs she played on.

The Country group Restless Heart recorded an updated version for their 2013 album Encores. Their pianist Dave Innis told us that having played with Glen Campbell on several occasions including his last two concerts in Branson, Missouri the thought came to him when this song came on the radio that Restless Heart vocalist Larry Stewart, "would be the perfect singer for a recut." He added: "And the original 'Wichita Lineman' didn't have any background vocals on it, really, that I can recall. So it was fun to do a vocal treatment."

Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit

Gina G is an Australian who began as a DJ and singer before emigrating to the UK in 1994. This song got her a record deal, and Gina became the first overseas singer to represent the UK in the Eurovision competition when this song was entered. It came in 7th but was the most successful UK Eurovision entry ever on the US charts.

While recording demos one day, Gina G came across a discarded unnoticed demo tape of this. She completely transformed it into a dance anthem, retaining only the first line of the chorus, the phrase "Ooh aah just a little bit."

Ten Feet Tall Lyrics

I'm clumsy, yeah my head's a mess
'Cause you got me growing taller everyday
We're giants in a little man's world
My heart is pumping up so big that it could burst

Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky

Ohhh ohh ohhh
I'm Ten Feet Tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I'm ten feet tall

I'll be careful, so don't be afraid
You're safe here, no, these arms won't let you break
I'll put up a sign in the clouds
So they all know that we ain't ever coming down

Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky

Ohhh oh ohhh
I'm ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I'm ten feet tall

You build me up
Make me what I never was
You build me up
From nothing into something
Yeah, something from the dust

Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky

Ohhh oh ohhh
I'm ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I'm ten feet tall

Ohhh oh ohhh
I'm ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I'm ten feet tall

Ten Feet Tall

The 6ft 9in Dutch producer Afrojack attempted to reach new heights on this pounding track. The house-pop tune was premiered on February 2, 2014 on Bud Light's "Cool Twist" Super Bowl commercial with free copies handed out to the first 500,000 people to Shazam. Rob McCarthy, Vice President at Bud Light, said. "Afrojack has an uncanny ability to re-imagine the status quo, and that skill made him the ideal partner to help debut our new Bud Light Cool Twist reclosable bottle."

Rising LA-based singer/songwriter Wrabel originally recorded this as a tender piano ballad. Afrojack liked it so much that he revamped the song for an uptempo dance single with Wrabel again contributing vocals.

Bones Exposed Lyrics

It's like loving a lion that cannot be tamed
I snap at the thought or the sound of your name
Pulling teeth from my stomach you've been eaten alive
My blood fills your lungs, my soul your inside

My feet they stand on ashes
From the fires that you've made
Burning bridges
Just to save your face

If I say I wouldn't be hostile
Could you say you would do the same
If we're all made just a little bit broken
Tell me who is to blame
Tell me who is to blame

I'm sensing a feeling picking wounds of regret
That left alone there's no scarring ill dig and ill dig
Scratching and itching I'll keep biting my lip
From this pain that I'm feeling
Picking wounds of regret
A cut cannot heal
Unless you leave it alone
I'll open mine daily
Leaving Bones Exposed

Exposed!

If I say I wouldn't be hostile
Could you say you would do the same
If we're all made just a little bit broken
Tell me who is to blame
Tell me who is to blame

To blame!

Standing on ashes from the fires you've made
Burning your bridges just to save your face

Wounds of regret

If I say I wouldn't be hostile
Could you say you would do the same
If we're all made just a little bit broken
Tell me who is to blame
Tell me who is to blame

To blame!

We're broken, imperfect
We were all made the same
We're broken, we're broken, imperfect
We are all to, blame!

Bones Exposed

This song finds Of Mice & Men frontman Austin Carlile furiously calling out keyboard warriors who attack him on the Internet. He told Kerrang! magazine: "None of us are perfect; so how can anyone judge anyone else? Those people who pull on their computers and talk crap about other people: what did you do today? What did you do to make your life memorable? What did you do to help? What gives you the right to say something about me?"

Enough Lyrics

The color blue
I always felt it like a sigh
But this is new
This blue fire inside his eyes
With feet of snow
I try in vain
He makes the northern lights come dance for me again

(chorus)
He's good Enough
He's sweet enough
He's man enough a little touch
I need so much
I want so much
I need to feel that secret touch
Why can't I break out
Why won't he reach out for me
Oh Loneliness
It comes and it goes
But lately loneliness loneliness
It just grows and grows and grows
Cause here he is living deep inside
Nowhere nowhere nowhere to hide

(chorus)

Ann Wilson: "This one is directly autobiographical. It's about unrequited feelings and when you do something as personal as this you always run the risk of embarrassing yourself. It's hard to reveal something so intimate, but I think music is also part of the process of healing."

Nancy Wilson: "To me this one is very Zeppelinesque. It's got real power but it stays personal, which is what it's got to do to tell this story." (thanks, Shanny - Detroit, MI, for above 2)

Luna Lyrics

I will bathe myself
Then I'll wear you for the night
Colors fading, frayed at the sight

(You're changing in the night)
Oh why is your face so pale and white?

There's a lot of words to call out
Just waiting for the perfect hideout
Down when the walls started shaking
I'm ready for you to find out
Ah-ooo-ooo
To find out
Ah-ooo-ooo

Now that the night has fled
Just like everything I said
When the moon was out instead

(Not sun, gold, soft and rain)
You burn through my mind, again and again, again
And again and again

There's a lot of words to call out
Just waiting for the perfect hideout
Down when the walls started shaking
I'm ready for you to find out
Ah-ooo-ooo
To find out
Ah-ooo-ooo

There's a lot of words to call out
Just waiting for the perfect hideout
Down when the walls started shaking
I'm ready for you to find out
Ah-ooo-ooo
To find out
Ah-ooo-ooo

Luna

The song features guest vocalist Rae Morris synchronizing with frontman Jack Steadman. Blackpool singer and pianist Rae Morris filled in for three tracks on So Long, See You Tomorrow, while the band's regular collaborator, Lucy Rose, was on tour. "It would have been great to have Lucy full-time, but it's just not possible, she's a star in her own right," Steadman told NME. "Rae came to one of our gigs and knew Lucy; she sang for us one day when Lucy wasn't available and it sounded great so we kept it."

The accompanying music video, directed by Anna Ginsburg, stars London-based synchronized swimming troupe Aquabatix. "The synchronized swimming aspect of it kind of related to everything that we were doing visually," Steadman said. "It was all about animation and loops, and I thought, when I was picturing these synchronized swimmers, it tied into that quite well."

Ginsburg also directed the video for "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep," from the band's previous album, A Different Kind of Fix.

Jack Steadman explained the birth of this song to NME: "'Luna' began in India. I think that's where I started writing it, but it was very much just a rhythm part and a bass line, and it had a cool sort of essence to it, but it wasn't a song. So I worked on it a bit more. It was kind of a very electronic song at that point; it had kind of a dance hall beat to it. And I was singing a melody in my head, and it wasn't sounding right coming out of my voice, and I'd just been introduced recently to Rae Morris, so I called her up, and I thought maybe this was something she could sing on. And she came around to the studio, and it just worked. It was fantastic ... that was the moment I think where it really became something.

Rae and I were so excited about it when we first finished it. We went out that night, and I had it on my iPod, and everywhere we went, we would just want to leave so we could go outside and listen to it again. I think the lyrics kind of come from that night, really, of writing it and going out all night and just listening to it and that kind of twilight moment. And then there's obviously the comparisons between the subject - the girl - and the face of the moon."

Kickin down the darkness
Kick it on down the drain
Kill the superstition
Gotta get a state of grace

(Chorus)
It's the Oldest Story In The World
There is nowhere left to hide
So we take it all in stride
When there's no more asking why

There is nothing left to do
But love~baby love~baby love you
Crash the television
Thrash those games and fools
Gotta get a resolution
Better go go back to school

(Chorus)

Fair-weather friends and fair-weather cool
Righteous the right buy all the bad news
Rich up the rich and dumb down the poor
Take it no more

Ann Wilson: "I think people are frustrated with what's happening in this country and I was trying to tap into some of the frustration I was feeling about world events. For some of us, it's like deja vu... we've been through this before."

Nancy Wilson: "I like to think this song strikes a blow against the media culture that tries to spoon feed us into thinking that somehow the war is only happening on TV. We come form a Marine Corps family and we know war from the inside." (thanks, Shanny - Detroit, MI, for above 2)

Air Lyrics

She’s part of my pages, she’s the one that’s gonna make me crazy
What if I’m in love, so what if I am?
I’m hiding desire, it’s like I’m walking on a high wire
What if I’m in love, so what if I am

Lost, uncertain, I feel good with you
You feel it, said hopeful and true
You tangle, I’m trapped and I’m blue
You, nobody sees through the secrets, the real you
But I know, 'cause I’ve seen you

She’s certain, she’s stable, we’re gonna take it to a higher level
What if I’m in love, so what if I am?
I’m not gonna deny it, she’s on my mind every single moment
What if I’m in love, so what if I am

Lost, uncertain, I feel good with you
You feel it, said hopeful and true
You tangle, I’m trapped and I’m blue
You, nobody sees through the secrets, the real you
But I know, 'cause I’ve seen you

I feel good when I’m with you,
Brand new, case it blast the shadowed
I see things with a different view
And you reign cause you know how to get it aside

What if I’m in love, so what if I am?
Maybe I am

Lost, uncertain, I feel good with you
You feel it, said hopeful and true
You tangle, I’m trapped and I’m blue
You, nobody sees through the secrets, the real you
But I know, 'cause I’ve seen you

The theme of Buckcherry's Confessions album is the seven deadly sins and four elements. It is part of a larger vision that includes a short film written by vocalist Josh Todd , who based the lyrics on his childhood and transformation into adulthood. He explained to Heavy Metal Artwork : "'Water' and 'Air' are about – well there's a love interest in the film – it's about these two opposite people and they're struggling with the meeting of the two worlds, and how they're going to deal with each other. That's where those songs came from."

One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack) Lyrics

Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom, on a mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after who
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain
N' all the riches buried there
Now the valley cried in anger
Mount your horses
Draw your sword
And they killed the mountain people
So they won their just reward
Now they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turn the stone and which beneath it
"Peace on Earth"
Was all it said
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after who
One tin soldier rides away
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away

One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)

This song's message is that human greed and violence is futile. A "Tin Soldier" is a miniature toy soldier. (thanks, Ken - Ottawa, FL)

The songwriting team of Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter wrote this. They wrote songs for Dusty Springfield, The Four Tops and Glen Campbell.

In 1969, this was a #34 US hit for a short-lived Canadian band called Original Caste as simply "One Tin Soldier." Original Caste's version reached US #34 and went to #1 in Canada.

Coven's version was used as the theme from the 1971 independent film Billy Jack.

In 1973, Coven released a re-recorded version of the song which reached US #79. In 1974, their version from 1971 was reissued, reaching US #73. (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for above 4)

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow I want more

I don't mind spendin everyday
Out on your corner in the pourin rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

[Chorus]

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her everytime she falls
Yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

[Chorus]

Yeah

Love Will Have The Final Word Lyrics

When the voice of fear rages in my head
Reading down the long list of my regrets
When the ruins are all I see
Remind me that it only means
That love isn't finished speaking yet

Of all the things I've ever heard
Let me remember when it hurts
That Love Will Have The Final Word
As long as God is on His throne
I am carried by the hope
That love will have the final word

When the place that broke inside you will not mend
And you wander in the dark without a friend
When the night goes on and on
Remember when it all goes wrong
That this is how we know it's not the end

Of all the things I've ever heard
Let me remember when it hurts
That love will have the final word
As long as God is on His throne
I am carried by the hope
That love will have the final word

Sorrow may close the chapter
But the story will end with laughter
Cause the worst thing is never the last thing
No, the last thing will be the best thing

Of all the things I've ever heard
Let me remember when it hurts
That love will have the final word
As long as God is on His throne
I am carried by the hope
That love will have the final word

Of all the things I've ever heard
Let me remember when it hurts
That love will have the final word
As long as God is on His throne
I am carried by the hope
That love will have the final word

Love will have the final word
Love will always have the final word

Love Will Have The Final Word

The title track of Jason Gray's Love Will Have The Final Word album is a proclamation of confidence and determination. The singer has the assurance that through God's redemption of our lives through Christ Jesus, the ultimate victory has been won for us, and Love indeed has the final word. "I hope when people hear the record they are persuaded that God deeply loves them for who they are and not for who they think they should be," explained Gray. "That they are assured that His love gets the last say over whatever has happened, is happening, or will happen in their lives, and that this hope is the cause for deep peace and joy. I pray that both those who are rejoicing and those who are grieving find that they are not alone, and that through all of it, by the grace of God, something of the wisdom of Love is made real."
