Summer '68 Lyrics


Would you like to say something before you leave
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
We said good-bye before we said hello
I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all
We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year
And I would like to know
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

Not a single word was said, delights still without fears
Occasionally you showed a smile but what was the need
I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of '95
My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there
Tomorrow brings another town and another girl like you
Have you time before you leave to greet another man
Just you let me know
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

Good-bye to you
Charlotte Kringles too
I've had enough for one day

    Young Blood Lyrics


    The days
    Are ghosts that pass right through us
    In my eyes
    You’re like an evergreen
    Untouched
    By the hours that fly around us
    My love
    Is that how you see me?

    Remember when
    Remember when we were the diamonds in the coal
    Lovers know
    There’s no age upon your soul

    It’s all okay, you give me Young Blood
    It’s coursing through my veins, it’s real love
    Here inside my heart it’s crystallised
    Like it’s framed in time and never tainted

    Yeah, it’s alright, you give me young blood
    Before the world I may be old enough
    There’ll be a day to take the best of us
    But till then we have young blood

    Somehow
    I never saw it coming
    I’m caught
    And it has set me free

    Remember when
    Remember when we used to talk of growing old
    Lovers know
    There’s no age upon your soul

    Yeah, it’s okay, you give me young blood
    It’s coursing through my veins, it’s real love
    Here inside my heart it’s crystallised
    Like it’s framed in time and never tainted

    Yeah, it’s alright, you give me young blood
    Before the world I may be old enough
    There’ll be a day to take the best of us
    But till then we have young blood

    Oh

    On and on you give me young blood
    It’s coursing through my veins, it’s real love
    And here inside my heart it’s crystallised
    Just like it’s framed in time and never tainted

    Yeah, it’s alright, you give me young blood
    Before the world I may be old enough
    There’ll be a day to take the best of us

    But till then we have young blood

    Young Blood
  • The first single from Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Wanderlust album was released as a free gift for fans in April 2013, before being officially released on November 21, 2013. The song is a life-affirming testament to true love, accompanied by singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt's piano.
  • Wanderlust was recorded in a London studio over a fortnight with a group of musicians and friends.
    "The album is about roaming and your sense of where you come from, and how you take home with you but you also have this desire to get out there and see the world," said Ellis-Bextor. "I found making this album really empowering. I felt like after ten years of making records, this is like the biggest present to myself."
  • The album was co-written, produced and arranged by Ed Harcourt. "He's a family friend," Ellis-Bextor told The Sunday Telegraph. "I've known him for quite a while. And quite early on, we were going for this Eastern sound, quite theatrical, even folky in places. No suggestion, from Bulgarian choirs on up, was too bonkers to be considered."
  • Noted music video director Sophie Muller (Annie Lennox, No Doubt, Beyonce) shot the clip of Ellis-Bextor singing on a pier.

    Possum Kingdom Lyrics


    Make up your mind
    Decide to walk with me
    Around the lake tonight
    Around the lake tonight
    By my side
    By my side
    I'm not gonna lie
    I'll not be a gentleman
    Behind the boathouse
    I'll show you my dark secret
    I'm not gonna lie
    I want you for mine
    My blushing bride
    My lover, be my lover, yeah

    Don't be afraid
    I didn't mean to scare you
    So help me, Jesus
    I can promise you
    You'll stay as beautiful
    With dark hair
    And soft skin, forever
    Forever

    Make up your mind
    Make up your mind
    And I'll promise you
    I will treat you well
    My sweet angel
    So help me, Jesus
    (hey, hey, hey)
    Give it up to me
    Give it up to me
    Do you wanna be
    My angel?

    So help me!
    Be my angel
    Be my angel
    Do you wanna die?
    I promise you
    I will treat you well
    My sweet angel
    So help me, Jesus
    Jesus
    Jesus
    Jesus

    Possum Kingdom
  • Possum Kingdom is a lake in Texas, near the Dallas/Ft. Worth area where the band is from - it even has its own Chamber of Commerce .

    There are no mentions of possums or kingdoms in the lyrics, but we do hear a creepy story about a spooky walk around a lake.

    In a 1995 interview with RIP magazine, Toadies lead singer Todd Lewis, who wrote the song, said: "It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that. They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool."

    Lewis went on to say that there was a real stalker in Tyler, Texas who became a folk hero: "I was down there for Thanksgiving, and after the family got through talking about who died and who's got cancer and all those things that families talk about, they started talking about this guy who was peeping in windows and started breaking into people's houses. He'd go out of his way to be seen, and everyone is like armed to the teeth, and he's like tapping on windows. The whole family was freaked out about it."
  • This is a very dark song with many possible interpretations. Here are a few:

    It's about a serial killer who lures girls away by being really smooth.

    It's about love or sex near the actual lake in Texas.

    It's about a vampire.

    It's about the devil. (thanks, Michelina - New York, NY)
  • Toadies had the briefest possible stay on the US Top-40, nicking the chart at #40 with this song the week of November 18, 1995. The song made it thanks to airplay, which Billboard factored into the charts starting in 1991.

    Toadies, and this song in particular, benefited from the boom in the "Modern Rock" or "Alternative" radio formats, which gave a good home to acts like Belly, Letters To Cleo and Blind Melon. Toadies toured with Bush for nearly a year to promote the Rubberneck album, which was their first major label release (Interscope/Atlantic). They made a second album, called Feeler, but it was rejected by the record company. Bass player Lisa Umbarger left the group, and they broke up soon after, orphaning their mid-'90s success. Toadies came back together in the '00s and released the album No Deliverance in 2008, which they followed with a new version of the previously shelved Feeler in 2010.
  • This was a surprisingly popular song with dancers at strip clubs, and there were even some local news reports in Texas about strippers using the song in their routines.
  • This song was used in the XBox 360 version of Guitar Hero 2, under the "Opening Licks" section. It is available from the start. (thanks, Matt - Labrador City, Canada)

    The Greatest Gift Lyrics


    The Greatest Gift
  • Seattle singer Michael "Wanz" Wansley was a full-time software test engineer for companies such as Microsoft, Adapx, and Volt until he was asked to provide guest vocals on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' international hit single "Thrift Shop." This is the closing track from Wanz's debut solo EP, Wander.
  • Wanz told Artist Direct the story behind the song in an January 2014 interview: "'The Greatest Gift,' was written and recorded in two days last year," he recalled. "Success with 'Thrift Shop' hadn't hit monetarily and touring monies kept me afloat, but there was no extra to buy Christmas gifts."

    " I would watch commercial after commercial of folks buying things, see them in line at the stores and listen to their conversations about what to give someone...feeling 'less than' during the whole process," he continued. "But figured that if I could put the 'Christmas Spirit' into song, that would be a great gift."

    "It took about an hour for me to come up with chords and a melody," Wanz added. "When I started putting the beat together is when I realized I was creating my own present. One that I could give to everyone and anyone! The time I was putting into this song was my gift!!! And since time is the only thing none of us can replace, I wanted to convey that we all do the best we can with the time we have and that helping someone, listening to someone, being there for someone is the greatest feeling and the greatest gift we can give to each other. Hence the title, 'The Greatest Gift.'"

    I Guess I'll Miss the Man Lyrics




    I Guess I'll Miss the Man
    I guess I'll miss the man
    Explain it, if you can
    His face was far from fine
    But still I'll miss his face
    And wonder if he's missing mine

    He never smiled enough
    But though his words were gruff
    I liked his shy, sad glance
    I never told him so
    But then, I never got the chance

    Some men are heroes
    Some men outshine the sun
    Some men are simple, good men
    This man wasn't one

    This man
    Wasn't one

    And I won't miss his moods
    His gloomy solitudes
    His blunt and thoughtless style
    But please, don't get me wrong
    He was the best to come along
    In a long, long while

    World On Fire Lyrics


    Hearts are worn in these dark ages
    You're not alone in this story's pages
    Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
    And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in

    [Chorus]
    The world's on fire and
    It's more than I can handle
    I dive into the water
    (I try to bring my share)
    I try to bring more
    More than I can handle
    (Bring it to the table)
    Bring what I am able

    I watch the heavens and I find a calling
    Something I can do to change what's coming
    Stay close to me while the sky is falling
    Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

    [Chorus]

    Hearts break, hearts mend
    Love still hurts
    Visions clash, planes crash
    Still there's talk of
    Saving souls, still the cold
    Is closing in on us

    We part the veil on Archille's sun
    Stray from the straight line on this short run
    The more we take, the less we become
    A fortune of one that means less for some

    [Chorus: x2]

  • Vocalist Josh Franceschi explained to Kerrang! magazine: "For me, burying the hatchet with people after there's been an issue has been something that I found difficult, and this song addresses that."
  • Rather than having an upbeat chorus the band slowed it down, made Chris Miller's guitar part very simple, and let the groove and the drums carry the chorus. Franceschi told Kerrang! that it's, "a sound we've never really created before."

    Call Me
  • This song is about a prostitute. It was featured in the film American Gigolo in a scene where the lead character is "working."
  • European disco producer Giorgio Moroder wrote this with Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry, who thus became the first woman in British chart history to write three #1 hits. However she hadn't been Moroder's first choice. The Italian disco king had originally wanted Stevie Nicks to provide vocals on the track but the Fleetwood Mac vocalist declined the offer.
  • This was the most successful of all Blondie singles in their native USA. It was the best-selling single of 1980.
  • In 2002, The Box Tops recorded this for the compilation album When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear . Cevin Soling, who was executive producer on the album, explains: "I got the Box Tops back together again, and that was a blast. That was so much fun working with the Box Tops. Especially with Alex Chilton there singing. I didn't produce that. I was in the studio, but the producer on that one was a buy named Benji King, who was the keyboard player for the band Scandal. That studio experience was pretty funny, because he's so full of energy. He's always excited and always really into things. The Box Tops are each one degree more laid back to the next. Coming from the South, they're all kind of very chill. Until you get to Alex Chilton, who's practically catatonic. And so you have that contrast." (Check out our interview with Cevin Soling.)
  • In 2009, Franz Ferdinand covered this song for the War Child Presents Heroes charity album.
  • This song was covered by the heavy metal band In This Moment on their 2008 album, The Dream. (thanks, Charlie - Las Vegas, NV)
  • Giorgio Moroder told Billboard magazine that his difficult experience of recording this song with Blondie taught him not to work with rock bands. "There were always fights," he recalled. "I was supposed to do an album with them after that. We went to the studio, and the guitarist was fighting with the keyboard player. I called their manager and quit."

  • This was a song that guitarist Max Helyer brought to the band. Vocalist Josh Franceschi recalled to Kerrang! magazine: "The rest of us didn't really get at first, but when we caught up with where he was coming from, we all fell in love with it. It's about accepting things won't always go your way, and it's got a really grungy vibe."

    Franchesci added: "I recorded the vocals through a special microphone that helped capture the angst in it, and we recorded some of the drum parts on an iPhone in a basement to get a certain distorted sound."
