For Those Who Love To Live Lyrics

Up jumped Jack on the railroad track
Said I've got to get out of town
It?s been really nice knowing you
Hope to see you around

Oh the boy he couldn't boogie
Oh the boy couldn't kick a ball
But the boy he got hung up
Smooching in the stalls

You've got to give a little love
To those who love to live
You've got to take a little hate
From those who have to wait

Up jumped John putting his trousers on
Saying I've got to get out of here
Hear your lover?s footsteps
They're coming to near for me my dear

Oh the boy he couldn't boogie
Oh the boy can't kick a ball
Oh the boy he got hung up
Making love against the wall

You've got to give a little love
To those who love to live
You've got to take a little hate
From those who have to wait

You've got to give a little, little love

To those who live
To those who live
To those who live, love to live
To those who love to live

Strike Back Lyrics

You want to push me like I don't mind
You want to break me but not this time
You underestimate the moment you shove
You've got no idea what I'm capable of
No, no you don't

You think I'm going to back down
You better think again
I've always said
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You're going to suffer
Hit me, I'll hit back harder
The bigger you are, the harder you fall
It's your darkest hour
Hit me, I hit you harder
When my back's against the wall
I Strike Back, I strike back, I strike back
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back

You are the darkness and I am the light
You are the fallen and Heaven don't lie
So, so, so step back you're crossing the line
If I told once I've told you one thousand times
No, no you don't

You think I'm going to back down
You better think again
I've always said
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You're going to suffer
Hit me, I'll hit back harder
The bigger you are, the harder you fall
It's your darkest hour
Hit me, I hit you harder
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back

Strike back

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You've got my back against the wall
You've got my back, you're going to fall

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You're going to suffer
Hit me, I'll hit back harder
The bigger you are, the harder you fall
It's your darkest hour
Hit me, I hit you harder

The bigger they are
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
The harder they fall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
The bigger you are, (the bigger you are) the harder you fall
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back
When my back's against the wall
I strike back, I strike back, I strike back

Strike Back

The Nashville based Christian Rock band We As Human are centered around lead singer Justin Cordle. The group also features guitarists Jake Jones and Justin Forshaw, bassist Dave Draggoo, and drummer Adma Osborne. This is the lead single from their debut album, which was produced by Howard Benson (Skillet, Red, P.O.D., Flyleaf).

Cordle wrote this song after coming off the tail end of a huge tour, when he felt like he had nothing left. He recalled to Loudwire : "We had been writing a lot and we were at the end of the process and I was in California with my buddy Scott [Stevens} doing some co-writes and I told Scott, 'Man, I don't know if I have any words left.' And he said that we should spend the last couple of days writing songs," he recalled. "So the last two days, we were in the studio in Hollywood and we wrote 'Strike Back' and 'We Fall Apart' together."

"'Strike Back' really kind of came out of desperation," Cordle continued. "Growing up and learning how to be a musician, I kind of felt like an outcast in my town to be honest. I was a weirdo, and I just had a lot of people who didn't understand what I did or why I loved music so much or why I wanted to do that. So I faced a lot of kickback from people who thought I should just knuckle down and get a real job. But I couldn't just let it go. So there were a lot of guys who were musicians and talked about our guys behind our back and we've all had that. Or there were people who just think you should do more with your life and I don't know why, maybe they didn't get enough hugs, but they just want you to fail. So I just took all of that and decided to write a song to empower people that were going through hard times like that and let them know that you can get through no matter what you're facing, you know."

"That's kind of the story behind 'Strike Back' lyrically," Cordle concluded. "And then the music track was just Scott and I throwing down some guitars trying to create the most in-your-face, kicking rock tune."

Dukes Up

Modest Mouse singer/songwriter Isaac Brock seems to hate this song. When asked to play it at an Ugly Casanova (another band he has a hand in) concert, he responded, "I wouldn't play that, even for the band it was written for."

The song is about fistfights. In the old days, you could challenge someone to a fight by telling them to "Put up your dukes."

Take the Bullets Away Lyrics

I've got my finger on the trigger
One bullet in the gun
And I'm spinning the revolver
Thinking this could be the one

I tried to find religion
To see what I'd become
I was ruined by the world
But I blamed it on the son

Am I worthless?
Am I filthy?
Am I too far gone for a remedy?
Will you help me?
'Cause I'm dying
To be something more than a memory
If I reach out
Can I trust you?
Will you help me see the light of one more day?
Take the Bullets Away
Take the bullets away

I've tried to build resistance
I've tried to start a war
But no one ever listened
I've battled with the storm

Am I worthless?
Am I filthy?
Am I too far gone for a remedy?
Will you help me?
'Cause I'm dying
To be something more than a memory
If I reach out
Can I trust you?
Will you help me see the light of one more day?
Take the bullets away

You're so disarming
There's nothing left to fear
You're so disarming
I'd drop all my weapons to show you that I'm not afraid
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away

Am I worthless?
Am I filthy?
Am I too far gone for a remedy?
Will you help me?
'Cause I'm dying
To be something more than a memory
If I reach out
Can I trust you?
Will you help me see the light of one more day?
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away
Take the bullets away

Take the Bullets Away

This plea for God to remove the weapons of our own self destruction features former Flyleaf lead singer Lacey Sturm as guest vocalist. We as Human vocalist Justin Cordle told Loudwire about the collaboration: "I was really torn about it actually," he admitted. "I absolutely love her vocal, but her screams were so good that she made my screams sound feminine. So I wasn't too excited about that. [laughs] But she did awesome, man. Her screams still give me goosebumps. When I listen to 'Take the Bullets Away,' she absolutely killed it on that track."

"I was just sitting at my house waiting for a response and hoping she likes it and she called me," continued Cordle. "We'd known Lacey for a couple of years at that point and loved everything she'd done with Flyleaf and when she called me back she had nothing but great things to say about it. And we were actually in the studio when she recorded her part. She actually flew from Pittsburgh, where she lives, to L.A., for one day, just to do that song for us and it was really cool for her to do that for us. And I think 'Take the Bullets Away' is probably my favorite song on the record right now."

Breakdown Lyrics

Back where the dogs bark where still life bleeds the concrete white
Try not to go too far inside your mind.
Back where the cars decide where the lame star limps an endless mile
Have I gone too far inside my mind?
Oh if you were the one would I even notice now my mind has gone?
Oh if you were the one would I even notice?

Back where the car was parked where the canine in the A line stole your time
You can only go so far for womankind,

Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has gone?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?

Does your love only come, does your love only come,
Does he only come in a Volvo?

Breakdown

Lead singer Brett Anderson wrote this about the descent of a close friend into major depression. His friend ultimately took his on life, which Anderson addressed in later songs such as "He's Gone" and "Simon."

This is often misinterpreted as a song about the dissolution of Anderson's relationship with Elastica frontwoman Justine Frischmann.

Fresh Start Fever Lyrics

Everybody loves the original, everybody's got time to be cynical
Old enough to know better by now
It’s the greatest joke don’t go letting me down
Hold my drink, this just got physical
I’m on a new wave it’s getting visceral
Going toe to toe to see how you go
I’m in pain say yes this is painful

Oh heart of mine
Sing a sad song sing a sad song
Warning you
Oh heart of mine
Sing a sad song

And it’s a Fresh Start Fever
Who wouldn’t want to be here?
Welcome to the future
Dream a little bigger

Cause for now I reserve judgments
Until these chains, chains are redundant
The brave die young and that’s all right
For some but I'm after something long term, long term
Let’s make resolutions
I’ve only got problems and no solutions
You’re just some one to the world but
You’re the world to someone else who told you

Oh heart of mine
Sing a sad song sing a sad song
Warning you
Oh heart of mine
Sing a sad song

And it’s a fresh start fever
Who wouldn’t want to be here?
Welcome to the future
Dream a little bigger

And it’s a fresh start fever
Fresh start fever
Welcome to the future
Dream a little big dream a little bigger

You’re a hard act to follow
So I stare down this empty bottle
There is no message at the bottom so how do I solve it
I’m a hard act to follow
I know we sink so slo-o-ow
The shallow is as shallow does
Keep a track on all those scars

I said you’ve got a chip on your shoulder
Getting worse now you’re older
It didn’t hurt, now your sober
It’s you life and now it’s over

And it’s a fresh start fever
Who wouldn’t want to be here?
Welcome to the future
Dream a little bigger

And it’s a fresh start fever
Fresh start fever
Welcome to the future
Dream a little big dream a little bigger

Fresh Start Fever

This was the second single to be released from You Me At Six's fourth studio album, Cavalier Youth. Speaking with Kerrang! magazine, vocalist Josh Franceschi told the story of of this song. "When we started writing in the cottage we rented in Henley, Oxfordshire, we discussed how the album didn't yet have a song that represented what our band had been about until that point," he said. "We wanted to write a big pop-rock song, with exaggerated verses and a jump-up-and-down chorus."

"Neal (Avron, producer) brought all of his expertise of programmed drums and strings and horns, which gave the song a more layered texture," Franceschi added. "There is a group chant thing in the verse as well that was inspired more by hip-hop artists that we were listening to at the time."

This won Best Single at the 2014 Kerrang! Awards.

Franceschi told Kerrang!: "We wanted to start a new chapter. That's what this is about – moving forward."

Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart Lyrics

Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart

This was originally a #5 hit for Gene Pitney in the UK in 1967. When Almond covered the song in 1989, he invited Pitney to sing on it with him, which Pitney was happy to do.

This hit #1 in many countries including the UK, but Pitney's record label refused to release it in America, where Pitney was from. They were afraid that young listeners who were not familiar with Pitney or Almond would think they were a gay couple.

Almond was a member of the group Soft Cell, who had a hit with "Tainted Love" and broke up in 1984. He went on to have a very successful solo career, with many hit songs in the UK.

Gene Pitney in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh: "I was in the UK and my agent asked me if I would like to re-record one of my hits with Marc Almond. I was happy with that because 'Tainted Love' is a classic. I was playing in Bristol and I had to be in London for 10 in the morning to record my vocal 3 or 4 times. Then I went up north for another show. Marc's arrangement was very different from mine, so I was singing it one way in the morning and a different way that night! Our 2 vocals were edited together and I couldn't believe the result because it sounded so like we were standing next to each other, and I had never met him."

Arnold and Pitney met up for the video at the Neon Junkyard in Las Vegas. Gene says, "It was the only place in the world where you could have a neon junkyard. It was full of old neon signs and they wired up these old signs and parts of them lit up. It freezes out there at night in the wintertime and the cameramen were wearing blankets and coats, but the record was booming across the desert and it sounded great."

In an interview with Mojo Magazine January 2008, Marc Almond was asked if he was aware of the cheese factor when he recorded this duet. Almond replied: "I'm not sure. I'd been doing that song in live shows, so I went to see him play at Bow Town Hall (in East London) to an audience of loyal housewives. Gene was a great singer, and a consummate professional, but he was in the cold winter of his career. I joked to EMI that maybe Gene would be interested in doing a guest backing vocal of the song. Clive Black called him up, and Gene was straight there, stripped off to the waist in the studio and giving it his all. I didn't think of it as camp or cheesy. I was simply thrilled that he was doing it. The record was #1 all over Europe, and Gene was soon back in all the big theatres."

No Strings Lyrics

We're both there at the same time, we both go
Don't need to talk to each other, we got codes
Have a bit too much to drink, say hello
We're gonna go home together
We really should know better

But fuck your No Strings
And your 'hey I'll ring'
But I'm, but I'm imagining things
No strings, kinda hope I have twins
Come on, come on, am I imagining something?
You can't win at all
And the trouble with no strings is you can only fall

They're playing our favourite song
You come dance near me but not for long
You know sometimes I think you're so immature
Don't know what trip you're on
Don't even know if I'm the right sex
You don't even know if I'm the right sex, do ya?

Fuck your no strings
And your 'hey I'll ring'
But I'm, but I'm imagining things
No strings, kinda hope I have twins
Come on, come on, am I imagining something?
You can't win at all
And the trouble with no strings is you can only fall

With all this love you're unprotecting
I'd hate to think of what you're collecting
The novelty's worn
You can't get it for nothing
So let's put this to bed, put this to bed
Without crawling in your bed

But fuck your no strings
And your 'hey I'll ring'
But I'm, but I'm imagining things
No strings, kinda hope I have twins
Come on, come on, am I imagining something?
You can't win at all
And the trouble with no strings is you can only fall

No more crawlin' in your bed

Fuck your no strings
And your 'hey I'll ring'
But I'm, but I'm imagining things
No strings, kinda hope I have twins
Come on, come on, am I imagining something?
You can't win at all
And the trouble with no strings is you can only fall

No Strings

English singer-songwriter Chloe Howl first came to attention with a trio of EPS released in 2013, featuring sassy observations on being a modern British teenager delivered over Electro-Pop beats. She signed to a recording contract with Columbia Records only weeks after finishing her exams and was shortlisted for the 2014 BRIT Awards: Critics' Choice Award eventually losing out to Sam Smith.

This angry, sweary tune about a feckless boyfriend was posted online by Howl as her debut single in late 2012. The teenage singer told Billboard magazine that she penned the song when she was, "16 or 17," after attending a terrible birthday party. "I had this sobering moment where I stepped back and saw everyone desperately trying to get together at the end of the night," Howl explained, "because they wouldn't have felt like the night had been a success unless they had gone off with someone. I kind of wanted to take the myth out of it, really, and so 'No Strings' came from observing that weird culture."

The song was included on the soundtrack for the movie Kick-Ass 2. "It's a cool one to be on," Howl told NME. "Teenage violence, teenage sex, teenage swearing."

Dog Years Lyrics

In a dog's life
A year is really more like seven
And all too soon a canine
Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven

It seems to me
As we make our own few circles 'round the sun
We get it backwards
And our seven years go by like one

Dog Years
It's the season of the itch
Dog years
With every scratch it reappears

In the dog days
People look to Sirius
Dogs cry for the moon
But these connections are mysterious

It seems to me
While it's true that every dog will have his day
When all the bones are buried
There is barely time to go outside and play

Dog years
It's the season of the itch
Dog years
With every scratch it reappears
Dog years
For every sad son of a bitch
Dog years
With his tail between his ears

I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos
Or a span of geological time
Than be living in these dog years

In a dog's brain
A constant buzz of low-level static
One sniff at the hydrant
And the answer is automatic

It seems to me
As well make our own few circles 'round the block
We've lost our senses
For the higher-level static of talk

Dog Years

The line, "Every dog has his day" is from a 1863 children's book called Water Babies by the English novelist and clergyman Charles Kingsley.

This song (on their 23rd album) contains the line "One sniff at the hydrant" - Rush's (13th album) Signals features on the cover a dog sniffing at the hydrant.

The line, "In the dog days, People look to Sirius" is a clever pun. One meaning is that in the summer people are often serious but as written it means that people are looking to the dog star "Sirius."

Blind the crucifix and shoot the gun

Doomsday Jesus

Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde wrote this song after the September 11 attacks on America. The "doomsday Jesus" refers to the vengeful God depicted in the Old Testament. Wylde felt that forgiveness was not the answer, and that the attackers were due retribution. "It's about kill or be killed," he told Total Guitar. "After a while you get smacked around for so f--king long, which is what these other c--ksuckers have been doing to America, it's like that's enough. We're putting the hammer down. That's what 'Doomsday Jesus' is about."

Losing It Lyrics

The dancer slows her frantic pace
In pain and desperation
Her aching limbs and downcast face
Aglow with perspiration

Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire
With just the briefest pause
The flooding through her memory
The echoes of old applause

She limps across the floor
And closes her bedroom door
The writer stares with glassy eyes

Defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage

Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision
And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be

Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee, bell tolls for
For you, the blind who once could see
Bell tolls for thee, bell tolls for thee

Dayshell was formed in early 2012 by former Of Mice & Men clean vocalist Shayley Dayshell Bourget and his former Covette bandmates: drummer Raul Martinez and bassist Jordan Wooley. They signed to Sumerian records and released a self-titled debut album on October 15, 2013.

This was released as Dayshell's debut single. "It pretty much tells my whole story," said Bourget. "I would wake up with anxiety, get paranoid, and start drinking in order to feel normal. On the chorus, I'm reaching out for a hand though. I want to become the person I was born to be. I want to be better at what I love to do. At the end of the day, it's a huge 'thank you' to the fans who have supported me and never gave up. I come out of the gate completely honest. Nobody can say anything because I say it all here."
