Evil Lyrics

Rosemary
Heaven restores you in life
You're coming with me
Through the aging, the fearing, the strife
It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that holds you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Right will take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them now your pleasure's set up on slow-release

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith, not denial
But hey whose on trial?

It took a life span with no cellmate
The long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?

We speaks about travel
Yeah, we think about the land
We smart like all peoples
Feeling real tan
I can take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith, not denial
But hey whose on trial?

It took a life span with no cellmate
To find the long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You've come to love me lightly
Yeah you've come to hold me tight
Is this motion ever lasting
Or do shudders pass in the night?

Rosemary
Oh heaven restores you in life
I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
Why can't we just play the other game?
Why can't we just look the other way?

Evil

Interpol's frontman Paul Banks writes their lyrics, but rarely reveals their meanings. He did tell Flaunt in 2004 that this dreary tune was about "the art of nearly falling apart."

Who is the "Rosemary" Paul Banks is singing about? The song seems to be about losing one's self after a trauma, so it could be inspired by the final days of Fred and Rosemary West, a British serial killer couple. While awaiting trial, Fred committed suicide, leaving his wife to serve a life sentence in prison. (thanks, Cam - St. Catharines, Canada)

The band doesn't appear in the video: the main character is a puppet who we follow into a hospital after he gets in a car accident; he sings the song throughout the clip.

The director, Charlie White, came up with the concept of the video. It took 17 hours to shoot on a soundstage and in a hospital operating room in Los Angeles. Paul Banks, told MTV in 2005 why he was so fond of the idea. "The treatment was so interesting," he said. "When we saw the images of the puppet early on, we were sold on the concept of this artificial thing interacting in a real-world environment."

Charlie White explained to MTV in 2005 how the puppet in the video represented a fusion of Interpol: "It fits the profile for both band and fan: It's pale, thin, with dark hair and a boyish-man quality about him."

The song has been featured in numerous television shows, including the first-season episode of the hospital-drama Grey's Anatomy, "Shake Your Groove Thang," and the Season 2 episode of the teen-drama, The O.C., "The Accomplice."

The eerie tune appears on NME's list of 100 Best Songs of the '00s at #59.

Stranger to My Happiness Lyrics

So many times there was a man, he met a girl, took her hand
Told her, "Never will I leave you my love"
But just as soon as he gone again she's flapping in the wind wondering what she must have been thinking of
She's a darling
I've been in and out so many doors
And I've always tried to keep my head
With all the men I've known before
I've seen plenty places
That I'll never see again
I've seen a 100,000 faces
And only called a few my friend

But it's a mystery
Just how you came right in
And stole my heart away
And left me there again

(Feeling like a Stranger to My Happiness)
To my happiness
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)

Now if you think that's a thing that only evil men can bring
Let me skin this cat another way
There was a man who had a plan to settle down with Mary Ann
He said "Darling (darling)
I've been in and out so many door
And I've always tried to keep my head
With all the girls I've known before
I've seen plenty places
That I'll never see again
I've seen a 100,000 faces
And only called a few my friend

But it's a mystery
Just how you came right in
And stole my heart away
And left me there again
I'm feeling

(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
To my happiness
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
Feeling like a stranger

I'm feelin' (feelin')
I'm feelin' (feelin')
I'm feelin' (feelin')
I feel like
A stranger
I feel like
A stranger to my happiness
To my happiness
I've seen pretty faces
I've been to a lot of places
I'm feelin'
Yeah I'm feelin'

Stranger to My Happiness

This song was written and recorded before Sharon Jones was diagnosed with bile-duct cancer, but it subsequently took on a new meaning. She explained to Relix magazine: "No matter what kind of relationship you get into, you feel like a stranger to happiness if it never comes. But now that song has a new meaning. After we recorded 'Stranger to My Happiness,' my happiness was that we were going to go on the road and the album was coming out, but then, I had to go away because of my cancer."

"Now, I feel like a stranger to my happiness," she continued. "We did a video for it. I'm bald and I'm standing there with a shiny dress—it has a wedding band theme. I didn't want to do the video at first. I look all pale, but you know what? It's a great video. My happiness is coming back now, too, because I still have some chemo to go but I'm ready to get back out on the road."

The Fish Lyrics

The Fish

All five of the Yes band members contributed one track of their own design to this album. "The Fish" was created by Chris Squire using only the bass guitar. Steve Howe did "Mood For A Day" as a solo guitar piece. "Cans And Brahms" was not only arranged by Rick Wakeman, he played all the parts as well. Jon Anderson sang all the vocal parts in "We Have Heaven" himself. Bill Bruford created "Five Per Cent For Nothing," which was played by the entire group with percussion instruments. (thanks, Randy - Chicago Heights, IL)

The title comes from Chris Squire's nickname: he was dubbed "the fish" because of his tendency to take long baths. He also happens to be a Pisces.

The subtitle for this song is "Schindleria Praematurus," which is an obscure, neotenic marine fish from the Pacific ocean. "Neotenic" means the adult fish exhibits no adult characteristics, only juvenile characteristics. The story is that Chris Squire had the melody and wanted to sing the name of a fish that had eight syllables, and dispatched a roadie (Maybe Michael Tait) to find one. The best he could find had nine, which is why the last syllable kind of trails off.

This is an instrumental. The only lyrics (if you can call them that) are the repeated subtitle of the song - "Schindleria Praematurus, Schindleria Praematurus, Schindleria Praematurus." (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, WA, for above 2)

On the album, this segues directly from "Long Distance Runaround." Radio stations usually play the songs together.

You'll Be Lonely

This was written by Sharon Jones' baritone saxophone player, Cheme Gastelum. The vocalist explained to Relix magazine: "I'm with him on the road and I know what he's going through—'You don't understand, I can love you like no one else can. You're going to be lonely when I'm gone.' I've meant that to someone in my life. I said that to plenty of them: 'You're gonna miss me when I'm gone; you're gonna be lonely. You're gonna realize this is the best thing you had.'"

Deacon Blues Lyrics

This is the day of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers, wild gamblers
That's all in the past

You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line

[Chorus]
I'll learn to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
And I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home

[Chorus]

This is the night of the expanding man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be

Deacon Blues

This song has the curious chorus line of:

They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

At the same time, the University Of Alabama was a football powerhouse, winning the National Championship in 1973 and losing just one game in each of their next two seasons under the direction of their famous coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. Alabama is known as "The Crimson Tide," a grandiose name that Steely Dan's Walter Becker and Donald Fagen found amusing.

The "Deacon" is often thought to be the Wake Forest University "Demon Deacons," whose football team struggled for much of the '70s, winning just 7 games from 1972-1975. According to Fagen, however, that name came from Deacon Jones, a star football player with the Rams and Chargers who got a lot of attention in the media because of his aggressive play and outsized personality. The name fit well into the song, with "Deacon" matching up sonically with "Crimson."

The song is about a guy who Becker describes as a "Triple-L loser." He told The Wall Street Journal: It's not so much about a guy who achieves his dream but about a broken dream of a broken man living a broken life."

Fagen added: "Many people have assumed the song is about a guy in the suburbs who ditches his life to become a musician. In truth, I'm not sure the guy actually achieves his dream. He might not even play the horn. It's the fantasy life of a suburban guy from a certain subculture. Many of our songs are journalistic. But this one was more autobiographical, about our own dreams when we were growing up in different suburban communities—me in New Jersey and Walter in Westchester County."

When asked about the line, "They call Alabama the Crimson Tide, they call me Deacon Blues," Donald Fagen told Rolling Stone magazine: "Walter and I had been working on that song at a house in Malibu. I played him that line, and he said, 'You mean it's like, 'They call these cracker a--holes this grandiose name like the Crimson Tide, and I'm this loser, so they call me this other grandiose name, Deacon Blues?' and I said 'Yeah!' He said, 'Cool, let's finish it.'"

The Scottish rock group Deacon Blue, who enjoyed seven Top 20 UK hits between 1988 and 1994, took their name from this song.

Regarding the opening line, "This is the day of the expanding man," Donald Fagen cites the 1953 sci-fi novel The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester, as an influence. The book finds the main character "expanding" is mind and thinking of all the possibilities in his life.

When our hero is "ready to cross that fine line" in this song, that's the line between being a loser and being a winner, a line that according to Becker he has tried to cross before, but without success.

Musicians on this track are:

Lead Vocals, Synthesizer: Donald Fagen
Bass: Walter Becker
Drums: Bernard Purdie
Electric Piano (Fender Rhodes): Victor Feldman
Guitar: Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour
Tenor Saxophone: Pete Christlieb
Backing Vocals: Clydie King, Sherlie Matthews, Venetta Fields

The 12-second intro on this track is one of the most distinctive openings in rock. It was created by having guitarist Larry Carlton and piano player Victor Feldman play the same chords, which were layered together with drummer Bernard Purdie's cymbals.

When this song was near completion, Becker and Fagen decided they wanted a sax solo, and they had a very specific sound in mind: the tenor sax that played going to commercial on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. They tracked down the sax player in the Tonight Show band, Pete Christlieb, who recorded his part after a taping of the show. There are many tales of musicians being asked to do take after take during a Steely Dan session, but Christlieb was done in 30 minutes, and it was his second take they used. His part, and the rest of the horns, were arranged by Tom Scott.

Making Up and Breaking Up Lyrics

Making Up and Breaking Up

This song was written by Bosco Mann, who is the bass player, primary songwriter and producer of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Jones recalled to Relix magazine: "When I got to the studio, all the guys in the band were like, 'Sharon, you're gonna like this song.' But when you hear somebody singing something and there's no music you have no idea what they're singing. All the guys in the band were singing, 'Making up and breaking and making and breaking up all over again...' I was like, 'What the hell are you all singing?' And then they told me, 'When you hear it, you'll know what we're talking about; it's going to be beautiful.' And it is such a pretty song. When I was thinking about how to get into this song, I thought about the late-'60s/'70s feel, when I was coming up at that age. I wanted to make the song sound like that."

Chicago (We Can Change The World) Lyrics

Though your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago
Just to sing
In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won't you please come to Chicago
For the help we can bring
We can change the world

Re-arrange the world
It's dying, to get better
Politicians sit yourself down,
There's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Chicago
For a ride

Don't ask Jack to help you
Cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to Chicago
Or else join the other side

We can change the world,
Re-arrange the world
It's dying, if you believe in justice
It's dying, and if you believe in freedom
It's dying, let a man live it's own life
It's dying, rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
Somehow people must be free

I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Chicago
Show your face
From the bottom to the ocean
To the mountains of the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place

We can change the world,
Re-arrange the world
It's dying, if you believe in justice
It's dying, and if you believe in freedom
It's dying, let a man live it's own life
It's dying, rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
We can change the world

Chicago (We Can Change The World)

This song was written in reference to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968. The times were very violent, and riots were threatened at the Convention. The mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley, basically told the police to use all necessary force to keep order. They did, with a vengeance. Civil rights and the Vietnam War were major issues, and there were many protesters at the convention. There were lots of arrests, with the police basically beating into submission anyone who had the nerve to speak out. (thanks, Andrea - Denton, TX)

Some of the lyrics refer to the "Chicago 7" trial, where protesters at the convention were charged with intent to incite a riot. The first line of the song refers to Bobby Seale, the only black plaintiff and the eighth member, who was actually gagged and bound to a chair in the courtroom. He was later removed from the trial, leaving 7. The 3 most famous names from this trial are Tom Hayden, Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. (thanks, rosebud - oregon city, OR)

Speaking to UK newspaper The Guardian in a 2015 interview, Graham Nash said that this song contains the only ever line that he wishes he'd never written. Nash said: "We were pretty blitzed. The line, 'Regulations – who needs them?' We need regulations. You're not allowed to drive through a red light. There are certain societal rules that we have to live by. So I sing it differently now. I say: 'Some of those regulations – who needs them?'"

Harry Hood Lyrics

Harry Hood

Harry Hood is from the Hood Dairy Company, a New England milk company based in Boston. The members of Phish lived next to a Hood milk plant. "You can feel good about Hood" was the company's slogan.

The line "Harry, where do you go when the lights go out?" was Brian Long's contribution. Others have said the line refers the lights at the plant going out at some point each night.

The thank you to Mr. Miner was possibly from the person who lived in the house before the band. Phone calls and letters would come for him and one caught the band's eye, a letter began with "Thank you Mr. Miner."

The audience often had glowstick wars when Phish played this in concert. (thanks, kyler - berwyn, PA, for all above)

Wanderlust Lyrics

Wanderlust

This sprawling tune lined with creeping synths was premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on January 7, 2014. Bassist Tom Fleming told NME: "We wanted people to think, 'S--- have I put the right record on?' It's a big sounding song about protecting what you've got and grabbing things by the balls."

The lyric, "In your mother tongue, what's the verb 'to suck'?" is a shot at British bands who are captivated with copying their American counterparts rather than pursuing their own ideas.

The band were horrified that the line was interpreted by some as an attack on Domino labelmates Arctic Monkeys. "I had to phone up the label to apologise and explain that I was not slagging off the flagship band," singer Hayden Thorpe told The Guardian. "Also, they're on the radio singing about settees in a Yorkshire accent; that's the home team!"

Vocalist Hayden Thorpe explained the song's meaning to DIY magazine: "It's a song about us as a band," he said. "It's a statement about our ideals, who we are as people and as a gang. It's almost a re-imagining of the initial things that threw us together when we were teenagers. We had these grievances, feelings of a power struggle, things we wanted to stomp all over."

The song is a mission statement for the band. "From the Stone Age to now, we judge our whole past by the culture people have left behind," Thorpe told NME. "'Wanderlust' is almost a kind of war cry, asking, is this the best we've got – kids singing in accents that aren't their own, singing about lives that aren't theirs, and reaping huge rewards from it?"

"So little is done with so much privilege – music is really a class thing, because if where I'm glad government that is making people pay £9000 a year for university, then it's only the rich kids who will get to arts and music school," continued Thorpe. "We're talking about such a small group of people who are gonna create work that is supposed to define all tell us what our lives are. It's a very scary prospect."

Fleming explained the meaning of the Present Tense album title to HMV.com . "This record is about playing with now, people's inability to live in the present and not either dwell on the past or obsess about the future," he said. "This record is about memory and trying not to long for things that either didn't happen or will never happen."

Headup Lyrics

Got back out back off the forefront
I never said or got to say bye to my boy
But it's often I try I think about how I'd be screaming
And the times would be bumping

All our minds would be flowing
Taking care of shit like hey 'holmes'
What you needing sometimes life will be coming off whack
And will open your eyes

As I proceed to get loose
I feel you next to me fiending
Getting spacey with the common
Love of music think of this as the

Sun and the mind as a tool but we
Could bounce back from this one
With attitude will and some spirit
With attitude will and your spirit
We'll shove it aside

Soulfly
Fly high
So fly
Fly free

Shut your shit please say what you will
I can't think side step around
I'm bound to the freestyle
Push It down to the ground

With a nova dash
But they watch you
Now climb up superslide
Our spirit so low it's coming over you

Soulfly
Fly High
So fly
Fly free

You walk into this world

Walk into this world with your head up high

Headup

This is a tribute to Dana Wells, the stepson of Max Cavalera (formerly of Sepultura), who was killed by a hit and run driver. Dana was a friend of Deftones lead singer Chino Moreno. Parts of Dana's diary was used in the lyrics: "Walk into this world with your head up high!"

Max Cavalera helped write this, and named his band "Soulfly" after a line in this song.

Cavalera: "The song we did together was very special. They'd lost a friend too. When me and Chino recorded the vocals we were both on the floor and emotions were going everywhere. It was almost as if we had Dana in the studio sitting between the two of us. We were raging so hard, and I remember looking up and seeing Chino had smashed his nose and there was blood all over his face. He had this expression on his face which said, 'How much more energy can you put into a song!' It was unbelievable! When I put that song on I get goosebumps."

Mozart's House Lyrics

So you think electronic music is boring?
You think it's stupid?
You think it's repetitive?
Well, it is repetitive!

I don't know, skip a beat!
I don't know, skip a beat!
I don't know, skip a beat! (We use special tricks with the computer)
I don't know, skip a beat!

I don't know, skip a beat
Why must I say it when I hate to speak
I said, I don't know, skip a beat
'Cause my wife to dance got to their feet
I said I don't know, skip a beat
Wanna be a social but I hate to creep
I said, I don't know, skip a beat
Scared of heights but I got to leap
I said I don't know, skip a beat
'Cause I'm leaping for the stars
No clothes, I'm far from far
If I won't try, I won't go
I'll never leave, I won't go
Can't believe it, I won't go!
No, not far!

Move your left, move your right
I kept it in my head and I kept trying to fight
I said, mhm move your left, move your right
Come a little closer if you like the limelight!
I said mhm move your left, move your right!
I want to surround and keep your here in my sight
I said move your left, move your right
Getting abuse 'cause everyone's taking all their time
They chase and flex the beat, it's on my mind
Moves like that aren't cool, or even crime
Now they one-handed, won't land it
Won't stand it, Clean Bandit

Here's a touch, ?
Relax the tempo, sips some movato
And if I get too animato
Tan my face with that ?
Aliente, mezzoforte, allegro or andante
I can make this voice
Staccato ?
I don't know, skip a beat, we're rushing now, we feel the heat
The doors are open, but the ?
Is this the place, is the final round!
Cruising at the speed ?
Watching the beat, we'll get to Vienna
Without a doubt the strings are fine, the bass is out
Give us a beat, you wrote the ?

Couple of skip beats, a couple of movements out
Now we made it to Mozart's House!
Couple of skip beats, a couple of movements out
Couple of skip beats, a couple of movements out
Couple of skip beats, a couple of movements out
This is Mozart's House!

So you think electronic music is boring?
You think it's stupid?
You think it's repetitive?
Well, it's repetitive!

Mozart's House

The middle part of this song samples Mozart's "The String Quartet No. 21 in D Major," which is nicknamed "The Violet." The quartet was written for and dedicated to the King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II, who was an amateur cellist. Mozart and his friend Karl Lichnowsky met the king in Potsdam in April 1789 and played before the king the following month in Berlin.

The vocalist is Ssegawa-Ssekintu "Love Ssega" Kiwanuka. Born to Ugandan parents, and schooled in Croydon, the sometime Clean Bandit frontman received a Full Blue in Boxing, the highest sporting honour at Cambridge University where the group met. Love Ssega's CV also includes being made the youngest-ever nominee at the global Institution of Chemical Engineers Awards.

The oldest song on New Eyes, this was written by Clean Bandit in Moscow in 2008. They recalled to HMV.com : "It was when we were playing a lot of classical music in our string quartet but also living above a kiosk that pumped out Russian house music 24/7."

Clean Bandit's Jack Patterson told The Sun about the music clip: "Love Ssega came to visit us on holiday and we made the video there as a kind of drunken experiment with some Russian cinematographer babes."

Clean Bandit's Grace Chatto once taught cello at a London music school. Unfortunately she lost her position after the school authorities got wind of the video for this song, in which we briefly see Chatto covering her bare chest with a violin.

This was the first time that Clean Bandit mixed Classical and Dance sounds. "Before that, the tracks were more Hip-Hop based with Hip-Hop instrumentals," violinist Neil Amin-Smith told Radio.com . "'Mozart's House' was the first foray into dance music that's now what we do."
