Satin In A Coffin Lyrics

You were laying on the carpet
Like you're Satin In A Coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.

Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead.

Well you disappeared so often
Like you dissolved into coffee.
Are you here right now
Or are there probably fossils under your meat?

Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead.

Now the blow's been softened,
Since the air we breathe's our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened,
Since the ocean is our coffin.
Often times you know our laughter
Is your coffin ever after.
And you know the blow's been softened,
Since the world is our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened
Since we are our own damn coffins.
Well everybody's talkin' about their short lists.
Everybody's talkin' about death.

You were laying on the carpet
Like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.

Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.

Who Do You Love Lyrics

Who Do You Love

This DJ Mustard-produced track finds YG hooking up with Drake. Although they didn't link up in the studio, the "My Hitta" spitter and the Toronto MC had multiple conversations about the song. "I've been running into Drake for some years and every time I run into him he tells me that he likes what I do, and he wanna work [together], so the time came," said YG.

"I sent him a beat, he liked the beat, said 'this the one, I'ma hop on,' so he hopped on it and we're about to shoot that video too," he added. "We were going back and forth on the phone about the record, then he sent the verse back. That's how it goes most of the time nowadays because everybody be on the road doing their thing."

Drake's verse leaned on some lyrics from Bay Area spitter Rappin' 4-Tay's 1994 number "Playaz Club."

Compare Drake's:

I got a shorty named Texas Sin
She got a buddy named Young JB and now you know the deal
We turnt up in the studio late night
That's why the songs that you hear comin' real tight.

With 4-Tay's:

I got a ho named Reel-to-Reel
She got a buddy named SP 12, now you know the deal
We gets freaky in the studio late night
That's why the beats that you hear are coming real tight.

Though it was obvious that Drake took his lyrics from "Playaz Club," the Toromto MC presented them as his own. 4-Tay eventually received $100,000 from Drake's record label, OVO Sound, after he questioned the similarities between the two sets of rhymes.

High Noon Lyrics

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along

I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn 'tweenst love and duty
S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' High Noon

He made a vow while in state prison
Vowed it would be my life or his'n
I'm not afraid of death but oh
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side

Wait along,(wait along) wait along
Wait along, wait along
(Wait along, ,wait along, wait along, wait along)

Pop Singer Lyrics

Never wanted to be no Pop Singer,
Never wanted to write no pop songs.
Never had no weird hair to get my songs over.
Never wanted to hang out after the show.
Pop singer writing of pop songs.

Never wanted to have my picture taken.
Now, who would want to look into these eyes?
Just want to make it real - good, bad or indifferent.
That's the way that I live and that's the way that I'll die
As a pop singer of pop songs.

Pop singer, writing of pop song.

Never wanted to be no pop singer,
Never want to write no pop songs.
Never wanted to have a manager over for dinner.
Never wanted to hang out after the show.

Pop singer, writing pop songs.
Never wanted to be no pop singer, of pop songs.
A pop singer.
Never wanted to write no pop songs.

Pop Singer

"The most crucial thing for me is that I want it to be real."

That's what Mellencamp told Creem magazine in 1987. Two years later, he released a song about it. In "Pop Singer," he explains that the music is what is important to him, and that he has no use for the gladhanding, trend-following or fan interaction that is expected of Pop Stars.

Mellencamp wasn't always so "real" - his manager had him use the stage name "Johnny Cougar," which took him years to reverse. He soon took control of his career, however, and did things on his terms. Any part of the job that isn't related to making or performing music is something Mellencamp avoids. He will begrudgingly do promotion, but refuses corporate music traditions like radio station concerts and meet-and-greets. This stance didn't endear him to industry types, but many fans found his candor refreshing and appreciated his authenticity and devotion to his craft.

When he wrote this song, Mellencamp was going through a divorce with his second wife, Victoria Granucci. "I was questioning the importance of music," he told Rolling Stone. "Everybody was having to kiss everybody's ass. If you want to be on MTV, then come here and do this. All these backroom deals were getting made. I was like, 'I don't want any part of this.'"

Caught Up In You Lyrics

I never knew there'd come a day
When I'd be sayin' to you
"Don't let this good love slip away
Now that we know that it's true."
Don't, don't you know the kind of man I am
No, said I'd never fall in love again
But it's real and the feeling comes shining through.

So Caught Up In You, little girl
And I never did suspect a thing
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free

And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be
It took so long to change my mind

I thought that love was a game
I played around enough to find
No two are ever the same
You made me realized the love I missed
So hot! Love I couldn't quite resist
When it's right the light just comes shining through.

So caught up in you, little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free

And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, baby you taught me
How good it could be
Fill your days and your nights
No need to ever ask me twice oh no
Whenever you want me
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away oh no

I can't live without you
So caught up in you
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away oh no

I can't live without you
So caught up in you, little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you , little girl
That I never want to get myself free

And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be, little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free

And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me and taught me
You got me so caught up in you

Caught Up In You

Group members Jeff Carlisi and Don Barnes wrote this song with Jim Peterik , who was a member of the band Survivor. .38 Special's first hit was "Hold On Loosely," which Peterik wrote for Survivor - the bands were on the same label, and when the song didn't make Survivor's album, it went to .38 Special. This led to a collaboration between Carlisi, Barnes and Peterik, who wrote most of the hits for .38 Special.

Jim Peterik told us: "There was a lot of resentment that I was writing songs not only for Survivor, but I was writing them with .38 Special too. I'm talking about resentment from my own band, Survivor. What I tried to explain to them, which fell on deaf ears, was that the .38 songs would never have been right for Survivor. They came from another place in me and were very much a product of the synergy of Don Barnes, Jim Peterik and Jeff Carlisi. All they could see was competition on the charts from someone who wrote the songs for both bands. When .38 Special came in to write for the next record, I was kind of sneaking around. Survivor didn't even know .38 Special was in town. We had to find places to write songs. We couldn't go to the band house, and at my house, what if one of the guys stopped over? So we went to my mother's house and wrote in the basement. We were writing 'Caught Up In You' in this gloomy room in my mother's basement all dark and dank, and we're writing this hit song. I was feeling like the bad kid playing hooky or something." (Jim is author of the book Songwriting For Dummies .)

Frankie Sullivan of Survivor is also a credited writer on this song, which is a source of contention between him and Jim Peterik. According to Peterik, Sullivan demanded the credit because he thought it used a chord progression for a song they were writing with Survivor called "Take it All." In his autobiography, Peterik wrote: "Even though there was no solid evidence to the similarity, I got 38 to agree to cut him in to the copyright just to avoid a lawsuit."

Shah Of Shahs Lyrics

Shah Of Shahs

The book Shah Of Shahs by Ryszard KapuŠ›ciŠ„ski was first published in Polish in 1982. Later it was translated into English. The Shah concerned is Mohammad Rezā Shāh PahlavÄ« (1919-80), the last King of Persia. The Shah was both a secular Moslem and a progressive pro-Western leader who did much for his people, including for women's rights, but there was an iron fist inside the velvet glove, and in February 1979 his government was overthrown to be replaced by an Islamic theocracy whose first ruler, the Ayatollah Khomeini, returned from exile, which for the Iranian people was a case of out of the frying pan into the fire, although after Khomeini's death in 1989, the country was liberalized to some extent, and brought under the rule of law.

When the Shah was overthrown he fled to Egypt, but he was living on borrowed time, not because of his political enemies, but because of a rare blood cancer. In October 1979, he was admitted reluctantly to the United States by then President Carter for urgent medical treatment. It is believed this act of humanity led to the storming of the US embassy in Tehran which resulted in over fifty Americans being held prisoner for 444 days by Islamist students, by which time the Shah was long dead.

The last ruler of the House of Pavlavi died in Egypt on July 27, 1960, and was buried in the Al-Rifa'i Mosque, Cairo. The multilingual Shah wrote a personal account of his reign and accomplishments; Réponse Á  l'histoire was published posthumously in French, and translated into English was published as Answer To History by Stein & Day in 1980.

Running to around 5 minutes, 5 seconds, Al Stewart's morose song sums up the way the Shah must have felt as he watched his life's achievements destroyed and was forced to flee for his life. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England, for above 2)

Whatever

I went down to the beach and saw Kiki, she was all like 'ewhhhh' and I'm like whatever!
Then this chick comes up to me and she's all like 'Hey, aren't you that dude' and I'm like yeah, whatever!
So later, I'm, I'm at the pool hall and this girl comes up and she's all like 'uhh' and I'm like yeah, whatever!
Cause this is my United States Of Whatever
And this is my United States of Whatever
And this is my United States of Whatever
And then it's three a.m. I'm on the corner wearing my leather and this dude comes up to me and says 'Hey punk' I'm like, yeah, whatever!
Then, I'm throwing dice in the alley and officer Leroy comes up and he's like ' hey I thought I told you...' and I'm like, yeah, whatever!
Then, up comes Zaphron and I'm like 'Yo, Zaphron, what's up?' and he's like 'nothin' and I'm like 'that's cool'
Cause this is my United States of Whatever
And this is my United States of Whatever

United States Of Whatever

At 1:25, this is the shortest ever single to reach the top ten of the UK singles chart.

In the mid-'90s, Lynch and his childhood friend Matt Crocco sent a few tapes to MTV Europe of the sock-puppet skits they had created. MTV started showing them as "idents" - short buffer clips played in between videos. A year later, these "idents" turned into half-hour shows. MTV in America started airing Sifl And Olly in July 1998, and the show lasted two seasons. One of Sifl And Olly's most popular songs, "United States of Whatever," started reappearing on the request charts on Los Angeles radio station KROQ after a fan leaked the tune from a UK import.

Lynch was one of 40 musicians chosen from around the world to study at the prestigious Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. This school, founded and financially supported by Paul McCartney, gave Lynch the opportunity of a lifetime. He was part of the school's first graduating class, but also one in five students handpicked by McCartney himself to study guitar on a one-on-one basis.

Deep As It Is Wide Lyrics

There's a place at the edge of the sky
Where there's a love Deep As It Is Wide
The weak are strong, the hungry are all fed
And there's a breeze from the angels flying overhead
Oh yeah

And there's a path, a glorious light
That guides you up the mountainside
And at the top, if you could you'd cry
'Cause you see pure love for the very first time, mmm

Deep as it is wide

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide

And I hear, when you get to the river
You look back for the very last time
And when you cross, you get washed off forever
Hurry up boy, eternity's on the other side, ohh

Deep as it is wide, yeah

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide

Every nation, color and creed
Like grace pouring out, far as the eye can see
Singing praises up to a King
'Cause He died, for a crown
Deep as it is wide, yeah, yeah, yeah

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there and
I believe there's a love
I believe in a love, oh yeah
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide, oh yeah, oh

There's a place at the edge of the sky
Where there's a love, deep as it is wide

Deep As It Is Wide

How Mercy Looks From Here was entirely written by Amy Grant with the exception of this song, which was penned by Eric Paslay ("Friday Night"). The songwriter also supplied additional vocals for the track, together with Grant's friend Sheryl Crow. Paslay told Radio.com that he had been keeping the song for his own eponymous debut album until Grant persuaded him otherwise. "'Deep As It Is Wide' was one of the songs that I kept very close to my chest," he said. "A lot of people in town wanted to record it, but I was like, 'I've got to be a part of this.' I had written it by myself, and Amy Grant came to me and said, 'My album is coming out and I'd love to cut "Deep As It Is Wide." How about if I and you and Sheryl Crow sing it together?' There's no way I'm going to turn that down. My life has been filled with their music for a long time."

Paslay explained the meaning of this potent anthem: "It's about the hope that there is something bigger and better than us," he said. "There's light at the end of the tunnel and there's something out there."

"When I finished this song I wanted to make sure there wasn't a disconnect between each verse, so I went down the street to play it for a friend," Paslay continued. "The way I was sitting, I couldn't see her while I was playing. When I was finished singing, I turned around and she was crying, so I figured I was done."

Growing On Me Lyrics

I can't get rid of you
I don't know what to do
I don't even know who is growing on who
'cause everywhere I go you're there
Can't get you out of my hair
Can't pretend that I don't care, it's not fair

I'm being punished for all my offenses
I want to touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I want to banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame

You're really Growing On Me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see

Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yes you heard what I said

I want to shake you off but you just won't go
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown
Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me alone

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see

You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)

Growing On Me

Contrary to popular belief, and although filled with sexual innuendo, this song is in no way about pubic lice or any sexually transmitted disease. During an interview with the music television station VH1, Justin Hawkins stated: "People have said it's about pubic lice, but that's obviously wrong because pubic lice don't grow on you, do they?" When questioned as to its true meaning Justin said: "A sweet lady woman that you will never fully fathom or understand, but you love her so much that after a while it doesn't matter."

Ooh Rockin'
Oh Yeah

Cruisin' down the motorway,
Got my girl by my side.
We're both a little anxious,
Ooh we got love on our mind.
Waitin', anticipatin'
For the fireworks in the night.
Well I swear we were doin' eighty
When we saw those motel lights.

And we were Rockin' Into the Night,
Rockin' into the night,
Ooh hoo rockin,
Rockin' into the night,
Rockin' into the night,
Yeah, out on the back street,
Taking love where I can,
I found a sweet madonna
Ooh with a bible in her hand.
She's waiting,
Anticipating well,
For someone to save her soul;
Well I ain't no new messiah,
But I'm close enough for rock and roll.

And we were rockin' into the night,
Rockin' into the night,
Oo hoo rockin',
Rockin' into the night,
Rockin' into the night.
And I'm slowin' down
And she's pullin' in

Waitin' anticipatin'
For the fireworks in the night.
Well I swear we were doin' eighty
When we saw those motel lights.
We were rockin',
Rockin,
Into the night,
Ooh yeah
Rockin' into the night,
Rockin' into the night,
Hoo rockin'!

Rockin' Into the Night

Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan wrote this for their band Survivor, which had recently formed and signed a deal with the Scotti Brothers label, a subsidiary of Atlantic. Their A&R man was John Kalodner, who was also in charge of .38 Special.

Survivor recorded the song as part of their first album, which was released in 1979, but the band's producer, Ron Nevison, decided it wasn't right for the record since it was more bluesy and southern than the rest of the songs. Nevison had given Kalodner a rough mix of the song, and when it was deemed unsuitable for the album, he gave the song to .38 Special, who recorded it using the rough mix as a template and made it a last-minute addition to their third album.

Jim Peterik told us, "We were sitting there thinking, 'It would have been nice if it was us,' But I didn't personally begrudge .38 Special because the money was landing in my pocket."

Peterik's bandmate/co-writer Frankie Sullivan felt differently, believing the .38 Special's gain was Survivor's loss.

John Kalodner is known for having a great ear and launched the careers of many famous bands, including Aerosmith and Genesis. About a year after this became a hit, he had Jim Peterik write songs with .38 Special, which resulted in hit songs like "Hold On Loosely" and "Caught Up In You." Peterik was still a member of Survivor, and moonlighting as a songwriter for another band did not always go over well.

When .38 Special recorded the song, they made a few changes to the lyrics. The chorus line was written as "And we went rocking into the night," but became "And we were rocking into the night."

Also, the line, "And it's more than that, yeah, it's more than that" was originally "And in the morning light we'll be rolling."

Before .38 Special recorded this, it was a staple of Survivor's live shows, and often their encore. After it became a hit for .38 Special, Survivor stopped playing it since it was now associated with another band.

This was the first hit for .38 Special. Their accessible southern rock sound quickly caught on with a variety of radio formats and with MTV, and the band charted 13 more Hot 100 hits in the '80s.

The Survivor version of this song wasn't released until 2004 when it was included in the retrospective compilation Ultimate Survivor.

Small Plane Lyrics

Small Plane

This Bill Callahan song about love being his co-pilot and shared domestic life was inspired by his move to Texas and engagement to photographer and documentary maker Hanly Banks. "I kind of changed my life completely," he told Q magazine. "I just made these changes at once. I moved to a city where I had only spent a few days before, and I bought a house with a yard and a driveway. So making that change just took a lot out of me. Even learning to take care of your own house maintenance and stuff, and making music stopped for a long time."

The title of the album reflects Callahan's change of lifestyle. "It's something I've only realised maybe a year or two ago and," he told Q magazine. "How much you're in control of your life and the way you see things. I think there's dream rivers flowing by us all the time and you can choose to make that your life and your path. I guess now my attitude is I just try to love everybody. It's really the simplest way to say it."
