Pistola Lyrics

On the tip of my tongue
An offensive is poised and rearing
My intention: a bullet
My body: a trigger finger

And my pen is a Pistola
I don't need to fear you ?

My secret arsenal
Is an infinite ageless inkwell
Its a fountain of youth
And a patriots weapon of choice

And my pen is a pistola
I don't need to fear you ?

Pistola

This song is about the ability to use words as a weapon. In the line, "My intention: a bullet, my body: a trigger finger," his intention, his belief, is the bullet that kills. His body is symbolically the "trigger finger" that writes with a pen.

Black Me Out Lyrics

Black Me Out

Laura Jane Grace told NME: "It's an angry song, 'Write me off, f---ing forget about me.' It's really just a 'f--- off' to negative people. The 'f--- you' attitude is what attracted me to punk when I was 13 years old."

Do you hear a Bruce Springsteen influence in this song? Bruce does. He told NPR: "'Black Me Out,' it's a fantastic song, you know. And so, any time where you feel you may have dropped a seed or two that someone picked up in any way is, it's just a pleasure. I mean it's like, 'Oh yeah, I did that little part of my work well,' in that this was an assistance and someone went and made something beautiful of their own or crazy of their own about it or whatever, however it comes out."

Grace explained the song's meaning to Spin magazine: "It's an angry song," he said, "and it's about feeling like you have certain relationships in your life where you have to fake the person that you are and be inauthentic and compromise yourself to people you work with or people you see out at a bar who corner you — who make you the kind of person that you aren't, really — and feeling like you're so angry that you just want to be like blacked out from someone's existence, like, 'F---ing forget about me, don't think about me anymore, I do not exist to you anymore.' That kind of feeling."

Red-Headed Woman

Springsteen wrote this about his second and current wife, the red headed Patti Scialfa. She has released two albums of her own - Rumble Doll and 23rd Street Lullaby - and is a member of the E street band.

For the Plugged: In Concert MTV special, Springsteen broke from their acoustic format and played electric (not quite Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival, but a statement nonetheless). The E Street Band was on hiatus for this performance, which was released as an album and on video, with this as the first track. When the DVD was released, it contained some additional tracks.

Heaven's Wall Lyrics

Heaven's Wall

This out and out Gospel rocker couched in Biblical language is most likely an outtake from Springsteen's proposed Gospel album, which he eventually scrapped for the more political Wrecking Ball. However, Springsteen felt it deserved a proper studio recording and gave the demo to producer Ron Aniello to play around. Aniello told Rolling Stone: "On 'Heaven's Wall' we took the basic track and jumped on there with overdubs. That's pretty much the original, vocal, drum and bass."

This was one of eight tracks on High Hopes that Tom Morello played on. The Rage Against The Machine guitarist also toured with the E Street Band during the Australia leg of Springsteen's Wrecking Ball World Tour. "He became a filter that I ran my music through," Springsteen told Rolling Stone. "He would send the songs back to me with a very current slant on them . . . He jolted those songs into the now. He's one of the few guitarists that creates a world by himself. It's like the Edge or Pete Townshend or Johnny Marr. The E Street Band is a big house, but when Tom is on stage he builds another room."

The New York Chamber Consort provided the orchestral instrumentation. The string section also played on three Wrecking Ball tracks as well as the High Hopes tunes "Dream Baby Dream" and "Just Like Fire Would."

The Christmas Shoes Lyrics

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonigh

The Christmas Shoes

The song tells the story of a little boy with clothes that "were worn and old" buying shoes one Christmas Eve for his sick mother so she'll look good if she "meets Jesus tonight." Founding member Eddie Carswell told us, "it was inspired by this lady who'd actually been in that situation - not exactly the way the story goes, but a very similar story."

The song's storyline was inspired by a Christmas story that St. Louis-based radio personality DC Chymes found on the Internet. A NewSong fan, Chymes asked Eddie Carswell to write a song based on the narrative. Eddie and his then songwriting partner Leonard Ahlstrom liked the idea and worked at it on and off for a couple of years without completing the song. "We would read this story, and we knew something was there," Eddie recalled in the band's online biography, "so we kept stabbing at it, kept coming back to it."

When the band was recording Sheltering Tree, Eddie pitched the unfinished song, but the producer passed on the cut. With the album complete, NewSong had a meeting with people from their Benson Records label. The suggestion was made about adding a last minute Christmas song, so Eddie played a rough version of "The Christmas Shoes". Their enthusiastic response convinced the two writers to finish the song and the record label to add it. Within a mere week, the second verse and bridge were complete, and "The Christmas Shoes" was on the album as a bonus track.

Benson was a Christian record label but it had a mainstream affiliate. When they played the song for their mainstream side, they immediately saw its potential. Eddie recalled to us, "First thing you know it was out and we're getting these unbelievable reports all over the country about it and about how much everybody liked it and what was going on."

After NewSong recorded the track, Carswell told a writer friend of his, Donna VanLiere about it. She put together a novella based on the song , which was on the New York Times bestseller list in 2002. It was later made into a TV movie for CBS, called The Christmas Shoes starring Rob Lowe and Kimberley Williams, which was the second highest-rated TV movie of the 2002-2003 seasons. VanLiere has since penned several more books that were inspired by the song, which have spawned a couple more TV movies. Eddie told us that, "it's just been a crazy thing how God's blessed that little song. Just when you think it's all over, something else happens about it. So it's been an amazing song to be a part of."

The Christian music group NewSong was originally a 9-member church band for Morningside Baptist Church in Valdosta, Georgia, formed in 1983.

This hit the top of the Adult Contemporary chart in 3 weeks. A year later it was the title track of NewSong's holiday album.

Avant Gardener Lyrics

I sleep in late
Another day
Oh what a wonder
Oh what a waste.
It’s a Monday
It’s so mundane
What exciting things
Will happen today?
The yard is full of hard rubbish it’s a mess and
I guess the neighbors must think we run a meth lab
We should amend that
I pull the sheets back
It’s 40 degrees
And i feel like I'm dying.
Life’s getting hard in here
So i do some gardening
Anything to take my mind away from where it’s supposed to be.
The nice lady next door talks of green beds
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps.
Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes.
I feel pro-active
I pull out weeds
All of a sudden
I’m having trouble breathing in.
I’m having trouble breathing in.
I’m having trouble breathing in.
I’m having trouble breathing in.

My hands are shaky
My knees are weak
I can’t seem to stand
On my own two feet
I’m breathing but I'm wheezing
Feel like I'm emphysemin’
My throat feels like a funnel
Filled with weet bix and kerosene and
Oh no, next thing i know
They call up triple o
I’d rather die than owe the hospital
Till I get old
I get adrenalin
Straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman
Post-overdosing kick start
Reminds me of the time
When i was really sick and i
Had too much psuedoefedryn and i
Couldn’t sleep at night
Halfway down high street, Andy looks ambivalent
He’s probably wondering what i’m doing getting in an ambulance
The paramedic thinks I'm clever cos i play guitar
I think she’s clever cos she stops people dying
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
Should’ve stayed in bed today
I much prefer the mundane.
I take a hit from
An asthma puffer
I do it wrong
I was never good at smoking bongs.
I’m not that good at breathing in.
I’m not that good at breathing in.
I’m not that good at breathing in.

Avant Gardener

This song about a slacker who has a panic attack while cleaning up her yard was penned by Barnett on the beach. She told NME: "As a song I was really proud of it. But I thought everyone would hate it! Just because, aw, it's a really stupid song. It's so long and has no chorus and it's not catchy, you know?"

The lyrics of this half-spoken song describe an event that actually happened. Barnett was feeling ambitious one day and decided to do some gardening. It went horribly wrong when she started having trouble breathing and had a panic attack. An ambulance was called and she ended up in the hospital. She explained to Uncut magazine: "'Avant Gardener' is all true, apart from the adrenaline into the heart, like in Pulp Fiction. I just got adrenaline in the top of the thigh... But in the heart sounded so much more exciting."

Although this song recounts a real experience, Barnett does it with a sardonic wink, as it expresses that feeling you get when you finally find ambition and it fails miserably, making you wonder if you're better off staying in your comfort zone.

The music video quickly got over a million views on YouTube and led to an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The video is a non sequitur, with Barnett playing an awkward match of tennis with her band.

Petals Lyrics

I've often wondered if there's
Ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness
And sought stability

A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started failing in the wind
Like golden Petals scattering

And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you

But I miss you dandelion
And even love you

I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery

A boy and a girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
I'll always love you
(Always love you)
And although you're struggling
You will recover
(We're gonna make it maybe)
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother

So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep
(Sleep)
(Sleep)
(Sleep)

And I missed a lot of life
But I'll recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you

I really loved you
(I guess I loved you)
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity

And I found the strength to break away
(Do do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do do)
Fly

Petals

In this song, Mariah describes her relationship with Tommy Mottola, who was head of Sony Records, where she recorded. Carey was married to Mottola from 1993-1998. It's extremely emotional song, with very subdued vocals by Carey, who sings not only about her relationship with Mottola, but with his son and daughter as well.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced this track. The duo is known for their work on many of Janet Jackson's hits.

Southern Way Of Life

Deana Carter penned the title track of her seventh album with Damon Elliott, who is Dionne Warwick's son. She recalled to American Songwriter magazine: "On that song, we got together — he's this Hip-Hop guy and I'm the Country girl. I'm the Nashville girl in LA wanting to get some R&B cuts, and he was wanting to get into country music, so we just did a song of southernisms. We were joking about how I talk, so I started writing down things that my mother and grandparents have said – and we just strung it all together in a conversation in this song. So that's kind of our 'Shave My Legs' for this record."

Lullaby Lyrics

At night as we lay down to sleep
I wonder what you'll show me
I think of you
and the thoughts that you keep
And I, I wonder do you know me
Everything that I have
is broken in two
Everything that I am
revolves around you
And you just don't understand
What a girl goes through

Everyone believes in something
Though we give it different names
You can search the world for that one thing
But it's all the same

Lay your body down
Come and let me bring your
body down
Listen to my voice
the only sound
As I Lullaby you,
lullaby you down

As the moon rides away from the sun
She takes all his light and reflects it
I relate them to us just for fun
There's a parallel that's unexpected
Every star in the sky,
reminds me of you
Twinkling in my eyes,
The way that you do
And I don't know why
I get so blue

Everyday is filled with changes
No matter where you go
Living in a world of strangers
So we go for what we know

Lay your body down
Come and let me bring your
body down
Listen to my voice
the only sound
As I lullaby you,
lullaby you down

Everyone believes in something
But it's all the same
Attitude will keep me going
So I guess I can't complain

Lay your body down
Come and let me bring your
body down
Listen to my voice
the only sound
As I lullaby you,
lullaby you down

Do It All Over Again Lyrics

This one's for the girls that like to lose their minds
They hit rewind and then they lose their minds
Hey, this one's for a girl that keeps me up all night
She's working overtime, my heart's working overtime

So hey girl, hey girl, why you hesitate, girl?
'Cause I gotta see pretty and it's right by me tonight, tonight
Wait girl, wait girl, why you complicate, girl?
I got money in my pocket and I kinda wanna blow it tonight, tonight

So if I lose my head tonight
Don't forget to tell the morning light
To wake, wake me up, up, up in time
And Do It All Over Again, do it all over again

Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again.

Let's go to a place we've never been before
I wanna see it all so let's see it all
Can't stop, won't stop till we've seen the freaking world
It's just outside the door so what you waiting for?

So hey girl, hey girl, why you hesitate, girl?
'Cause I gotta see pretty and it's right by me tonight, tonight
Wait girl, wait girl, why you complicate, girl?
I got money in my pocket and I kinda wanna blow it tonight, tonight

So if I lose my head tonight
Don't forget to tell the morning light
To wake, wake me up, up, up in time
And do it all over again, do it all over again
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again.

Let's go, let's do it again
We've got time, let's sleep every other weekend
Let go, put your hands up higher
And higher and higher

Hold on if you feeling the love
Baby, take another second just to dial it up
Hit play, rewind, turn back in time
We start the night till the sunrise

So if I lose my head tonight
Don't forget to tell the morning light
To wake, wake me up, up, up in time
And do it all over again, do it all over again

Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again.

We do it all over again.

Do It All Over Again

English singer-songwriter Elyar Fox was first noticed on YouTube where he'd been uploading his cover versions of hit tunes and cultivating a fan base of "Foxers." As views on his YouTube channel reached over 10 million, Elyar attracted increasing interest from all of the UK's major labels, before eventually signing with Global Talent, in conjunction with RCA.

This song was released as the lead single from Elyar's debut album and was co-written by the singer himself. Asked by District MTV what inspires his music, Eylar replied: "I guess I just write about things that are going on in my life, I'm always doing things and meeting new people and girls, and that's a big inspiration for me."

Call On Me

This was inspired by the song "Valerie," originally recorded in 1982 by Steve Winwood. The first version of Prydz' track sampled the original recording but upon being asked to give his stamp of approval to its release, Winwood reportedly offered to re-sing the vocals to fit the track better.

Winwood's contribution to this track made him the only person to sing lead vocals on a UK #1 single in both the 1960s ("Keep on Running" by the Spencer Davis Group) and the 2000s.

Eric Prydz began to make music at the age of 9 in Stockholm, Sweden. After developing a nasty habit of breaking and entering in order to "borrow" his school's keyboards, he soon landed himself in a Swedish reform school. Nevertheless, this setback merely strengthened his resolve and, buoyed by encouragement from influential friends in the music business, Prydz was soon producing tracks that found their way into the record boxes of some of the world's most high profile DJs. This was his first hit single in the UK.

The video shows semi-clothed women doing raunchy aerobics. It was in heavy rotation on the music channels in the UK.

This was #1 in the UK for 3 weeks before it was knocked off by Robbie Williams' "Radio." A week later, Williams was knocked off the top spot when this climbed back up to it.

Sunshine & Whiskey Lyrics

Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Chilling on a beach with my sweet Georgia peach.
Not a care in the world, just trying to beat the heat.
Body like an hourglass, sand on her feet.
I can't help but stare cause I got the best seat.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any hotter you slid on in,
Said, "I'm a little hot and bothered, if you know what I mean.
Let's crank it up to a hundred degrees."

Alright, you hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
It's like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

Slow driving south with the drop top down,
Hair in the wind, Tom Petty up loud.
You gave me that look, you licked them lips.
I said, "Hang on baby, better pull over for this."
Don't wanna get DWK, driving while kissing they'll put you away.

You hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
It's like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

Well you hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

Sunshine & Whiskey

Ballard released a live video of the song in which he prefaced the tune by labeling it "self-explanatory." He added with a laugh, "I've found myself in a little bit of trouble from time to time in my music career, in a honky tonk and being on the road, and the two things that have always put me there, in trouble, are women and whiskey, and that's what this song is about."

Ballard told Radio.com the song helped him find the sound he was looking for on his sophomore album. "The way we arranged it, sonically speaking, that sound is going to be identifiable with the record," he explained. "It's a fun song, 'Every time you kiss me, it's like sunshine and whiskey.' It's a summertime thing."

The song also worked as an album title as well. "I felt like it really wrapped its arms around all the songs," Ballard said. "If nothing else, maybe people in Walmart will look at it and go, 'Sunshine and whiskey?' and at least give it a second glance."

This was written by Jaren Johnston (Tim McGraw's "Southern Girl," Keith Urban's "You Gonna Fly") and Luke Laird (Carrie Underwood's "Undo It," Little Big Town's "Pontoon.") Johnston told Roughstock about the day the pair wrote this song at Laird's house. "After we hashed out the song that day, I kind of took the track home to work it up," he said. "It was kind of different from what we had first done. I just started rapping on it. I sent it to Luke, and I think his text said 'OMG, someone is going to cut that!' We were so excited."

"Luke and I write together all the time," added Johnston. "We always have a blast. We'll just find an 80s beat and just start rapping over it. It's hilarious."
