Come See About Me

One month after this song's release (and two days after Christmas), The Supremes performed this song while making their debut guest appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Supremes would go on to appear 19 more times on show, which is more than any other Pop act.

Songstress Freda Payne covered this song for her 2001 album of the same name.

In 1967, Motown group Junior Walker & The All Stars took this to #24 in the US with their saxophone-driven version.

Neil Sedaka covered this song for his 1984 album of the same name. Supreme Mary Wilson provided backup vocals for his version.

Martina McBride put her own take on this song for her 2014 collection of covers, Everlasting. She told Billboard magazine: "It wasn't on our list to do. We were looking at this other song, but it popped up on iTunes, and we all just looked at each other and said 'We should do that song.' It's really fun and will be familiar to a lot of people."

Inner Journey Lyrics

Inner Journey

Jennifer Batten: "'Inner Journey' may well be the launching pad for this record. The percussion is based on body noise samples. This is the comedic highlight of the CD with a whacky video to match. Though the title "Inner Journey" sounds like a spiritual endeavour, it's more like the inner journey your body takes in digestion. Most female recording artists use body parts to promote their music, which has been done to death, and I find that's quite lacking in imagination! I prefer a more creative shocking attention grabbing angle."

Kiss Me Lyrics

In my young life I have received
Callers as though they were Christmas Eve
Disappointed and I don't know why?
She gave me laughter and hope
And a sock in the eye.

In my young life and I know something now.
I've never tried to create a wow
Wows are few frustration more common
Now I can feel it in my soul
That's why I gave the come on...

Kiss Me with your mouth
Your love is better than wine
But wine is all I have
Will your love ever be mine?

Faces fall before my feet
Like blood onto a clean white sheet
When I grow old I won't forget
To innocence my only debt.

Wow I feel so fresh today
Barefoot in the snow to make love in the hay
The stars are bright in the abyss
Now I can feel you in my arms
I explode inside your kiss.

Kiss me with your mouth
Your love is better than wine
But wine is all I have
Will your love ever be mine?

Kiss Me

The lyrics, "Kiss me with your mouth, your love is better than wine" are from the Song of Solomon in The Bible.

This was produced by J.J. Jeczalik, who was a key member of The Art of Noise.

Duffy was an original member of Duran Duran, but left in 1979 to go solo before Duran Duran exploded onto MTV. Duffy helped create The Lilac Time in 1987. They attracted a college radio following and produced a few albums before breaking up in 1991.

This was Duffy's biggest hit. In America, it became a club favorite and a staple on alternative radio stations though it failed to chart. His only other UK hit was his follow up "Icing On The Cake," which peaked at #14.

Whatever Lyrics

Whatever

This is the title track of Jennifer Batten's third solo album. Jennifer commented on the record's creation in her track by track commentary: "Originally I started writing a lot of these tracks for Jeff Beck when I was in his band. My third CD has been long over due so in the end I'm happy to have these tracks for myself! He got me interested in electronica and I'm very happy to have that as a new direction with all the amazing inspiring sounds available today."

Jennifer was in Jeff Beck's band for three years from 1998. She played on Beck's CD’s Who Else and You Had It Coming, which were both supported by world tours.

Jennifer said regarding this song: "'Whatever' brings the record back to Los Angeles and gives a pathetic tribute to the cultural degradation in the language of the modern youth. They use the word 'whatever' to replace most words in the language, due to laziness. The song makes use of various samples of people and accents saying 'whatever.' The focus is on total nonsense surrounded by melody and a whacky guitar solo.

When I Come Around Lyrics

I heard you crying loud, all the way across town
Cause you been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Well, don't get lonely now, and dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get
So uptight you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I Come Around

Well, I heard it all before, so don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know you're right

So go do what you like, make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing
Was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right

No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

When I come around

When I Come Around

A track from Green Day's first major label album, this is a very personal song lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote about being away from his girlfriend, Adrienne Nesser, and the frustrations they both felt when he was on the road. Billie Joe met Adrienne in 1990 when Green Day performed in Minnesota, where she lived. He was just 18, and found it difficult to maintain a long distance relationship, especially with his touring schedule. In this song, he affirms his devotion for her, assuring her that when he does get to see her (when he "comes around") he will make it up to her.

Billie Joe and Adrienne got married in July, 1994, a few months after Dookie was released and right in the midst of the band's rapid ascent to stardom (the band was touring at the time). The marriage endured, and couple had two children together.

MTV aired two different videos for this song. A concept video for the song was directed by Mark Kohr, and MTV also showed a live version from Green Day's infamous Woodstock '94 performance (lots of mud was in the air). They used this video to promote the MTV Woodstock '94 retrospective video tape.

Jason White, who sometimes played as a second guitarist for Green Day, is in this video. He's the guy kissing the girl.

When performing this song at Woodstock '94, a fan threw a clump of mud onstage and Billie Joe stuck it in his mouth. This caused the fans to keep throwing mud and started the infamous mud fight. A security guard (in a rush to get fans off of the stage) accidentally slammed bassist Mike Dirnt into an amplifier, causing him injuries to his arm and three of his teeth.

This song was not released as a single, which was a strategic move by Green Day's label (Reprise) to goose sales of the album. Airplay pushed the song to #6 in America.

Lazybones Lyrics

When all the limbs are numb and clean,
And you're in transit, dream to dream,
I'll drift there to meet you, Lazybones.

When all the world has lain and sank,
And money sleeps inside the banks,
I'll drift there to meet you, layzbones.

Cameraman sways to remember how the eye dances,
Drunkenness is a hand-held
Scrambling down Delancey
I come stumbling;
Well I hear you had to take a shine
And firing at random, I hear the rays fell upon mine.

Cool you, Miss Amaze, with a handful of water
Trucks encircling, bearing down, coming louder.
If I could stay here, under your idle caress
And not exit to the world and phoniness and people.

When all the noise has left your head
Will someday you rise off the bed?
I'll be there to lift you, lazybones.

Lazybones

At a Mike Doughty "Question Jar" show in Nashville on November 11, 2007, the Soul Coughing frontman was asked about the meaning of "Lazybones." He replied: "It's about a guy who does heroin that falls in love with a girl who's drunk, and they don't really click because their drugs aren't really compatible."

Kevin Carter

Kevin Carter was a South African photographer who took his own life months after winning the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography for a haunting Sudan famine picture. After dropping out of school for bad grades he joined the South African Defense Force where he found upholding the apartheid regime loathsome - when he took sides with a black mess-hall waiter, some Afrikaans-speaking soldiers called he 'kaffir-boetie' (nigger lover). After a few odd jobs, Carter worked in a camera shop and fell into journalism. Carter, whilst working for the Johannesburg Star, hooked up with three friends - Ken Oosterbroek of the Star and free-lancers Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva - and they began moving through Soweto and Tokoza at dawn. Capturing the chaotic hand-to-hand street fighting between Mandela's A.N.C. and the Zulu-supported Inkatha Freedom Party which involved AK-47s, spears and axes. The four became so well known for capturing the violence that Living, a Johannesburg magazine, dubbed them "the Bang-Bang Club."

In 1993 Carter headed north of the border with Silva to photograph the rebel movement in famine-stricken Sudan. He wandered into the open bush. He heard a soft, high-pitched whimpering and saw a tiny girl trying to make her way to the feeding center. As he crouched to photograph her, a vulture landed in view. Careful not to disturb the bird, he positioned himself for the best possible image. The picture immediately became an icon of Africa's anguish. on April 12, 1994, the New York Times phoned to tell him he had won the Pulitzer. Carter was always troubled by personal problems and two months after receiving his Pulitzer, Carter would be dead of carbon-monoxide poisoning in Johannesburg, a suicide at 33. His pickup truck was parked near a small river where he used to play as a child, in a note left on the passenger seat part of it read: "The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist."

Richey Edwards wrote the lyric to this song. The Manic Street Preachers guitarist vanished in February 1995, and the band continued on without him, including five songs on the Everything Must Go album (the first one released after his disappearance) that he co-wrote. The band was hoping that Edwards was in hiding, and that including some of his songs on the set would flush him out.

In writing about Kevin Carter, Edwards opened a window to his own sense of nihilism and a depression that is exasperated by success. His body was never found.

King For A Day
I know you well
And I can tell
Something's on your mind
'cause in your dreams
The demon screams
And I know he's going to hurt you blind
(bridge)
You say you hunger for something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore
(chorus)
IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO BE WITH YOU
IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I HAD JUST ONE THING TO SAY
YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS
ALL WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH
Diamond rings
And all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame
It's just a name
That only satisfies you for a while
(REPEAT BRIDGE & CHORUS)
I've heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes the world go 'round
But all the gold
Won't heal your soul
If your world should tumble to the ground
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
So listen,
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah.
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah.
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
If I was King
For just one day
For just one thing to say
Love...

Make Me Lose Control Lyrics

I run a comb through my hair and step out in the street
And the city's the color of flame in the mid-summer heat, oh yeah
Jennifer's got her daddy's car, she's playing up-town on the stereo
We go cruisin' so close, the way they did long ago

My darlin'

CHORUS:
(Turn) Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) Keep this feelin' alive
Make Me Lose Control
Baby baby
(When) When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) Take me over the edge
Make me lose control

We put the top down and park with the moon in the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in july, oh yeah
Jennifer's singin' "Stand by Me" and she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good, or could this be just the start?

Oh darlin'

CHORUS

Keep my baby clothes on, and were movin' in time
And the heat from your touch, makes me feel like I'm losing my mind
Oh yeah
(And then they played) Back in my arms again
(We close our eyes) We start rememberin' when
(We start to kiss) And all the feelings return
And we just pray that this night never ends

Oh, my darlin'
(Turn) Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive make me lose control
Baby
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) Take me over the edge
Make me lose control

Baby baby

(Turn) Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) Keep this feelin' alive make me lose control

When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) Take me over the edge make me lose control

Baby baby

Make Me Lose Control

Carmen wrote this with the lyricist Dean Pitchford . They first worked together when they wrote "Almost Paradise" for Pitchford's movie Footloose, and they remained good friends. Pitchford told us, "I always thought that Eric Carmen was a beautiful melodist. Look at 'Boats Against the Current,' look at 'All By Myself.' Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff."

Carmen: "Dean and I had written a song called 'Long Live Rock And Roll,' and it was a tribute to Rock And Roll music. The verse lyrics were the same. The lyric for the chorus was different. It was more of a nostalgic thing. Jimmy Ienner heard the song, and we talked about it, and we decided that we needed something a little more immediate. We didn't really want to be writing a nostalgia thing. So Dean and I then beat our brains out for a couple days, and I said, 'How about Make Me Lose Control?' Dean said, 'O.K.,' and then we wrote some lyrics."

Some of the songs mentioned in the lyrics: "Uptown" by The Crystals, "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King, "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes and "Back In My Arms Again" by The Supremes.

Dirty Gold Lyrics

Take a breath, say you love me
We both know that everything changes

Keep in mind that none of this is fiction
This is just a glimpse into the head of a menace
We were two different children
But we born of the same moon
Blowing entire opposite
We were brought up the same too
I used to hate you because they celebrate you
And you made them notice every single thing I can’t do
But really I honestly wanted to be you
And I just hope my desire to wasn’t that see through
I never took into account the things that you were hiding
I even understood your rage when I see you get violent
I guess the height of all my envy was leaving me blinded
Until you sat me down and told me how crazy your life is
You said to run and never look back
And if I did, to never lose track of all the hurdles I was jumping
That lead me to my current goal

Don’t sell your soul baby you are Dirty Gold
Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold

Took a chance, said you’d love me
We both know that everything changes

You found me when I was dying and unappreciated
You broke me down into a science that I completely hated
You told impeccable talent didn’t make me less average
But how I use it to my advantage determined my passion
It took some time to understand and manage
But then I learned this passion was the method to my madness
And I never got to thank you, at least not in the way I planned
But I had to learn before I did that, I hope you understand
It takes a lot for me to bury hatchets but consider them cremated
All the ashes burned to ashes
And I’m dusting off my vocal box and finally saying thank you
And even though you ain’t my fan, you did the shit they ain’t do
So disregard my temper and the times I fucking hate you
Because despite all my ignorance I’m really fucking grateful
Never forget the importance of the sparks you hold

Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold

Took a glance, towards the mirror
Now I know that everything changes

I used to hate me, I swore my life was too painful
Let my demons overtake me before I fight with my angels
There was constantly a struggle to see my life at an angle
That provided understanding of how much drama could change you
I used to cut myself open just to feel like I was living
But when living is just dying then there’s no longer a difference
There’s no longer existence, and there’s no longer persistence
And there’s no longer a drive there existing on only division
And I thought, if nobody ever loved me
This vacancy inside me must be really called a bloodstream
Then I looked into the world and saw a million people like me
Probably never know your stories, but you’re the reason I’m fighting
You’re the reason I’m writing; music
Could be so reviving
And if ever you tend to forget, I’m right here to remind you:
Don’t ever give into the hurt you hold

Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold
Don’t sell your soul baby you are dirty gold

Dirty Gold

Haze explained to XXL magazine that the title of her debut album was inspired by her favorite band. "When I thought about it, I was like, 'Oh! Let's do this,'" she recounted. "So I texted the lead singer [of Dirty Gold], Yeah, your name is going to be the name of my album.' He's like, 'So cool!'"

San Diego, California's Dirty Gold is an experimental Afro-Beat/Surf-Pop project of brothers Lincoln, Grant and John Ballif.
