So Sad (So Fine) Lyrics

So Sad (So Fine)

The line, "The train to Brooklyn won't carry you this time" is one of the most recognizeable lines in the song. The song was singer Leslie Beattie's musical response to a well known Brooklyn-based band's 2002 album. Beattie claims that it was carelessly written after watching a program on the Brooklyn Bridge. She was stuck on a lyric and thought the syllables fit.

Cantona work quickly when it comes to songwriting. Guitarist Glenn Pittaway will bring in a riff or full song, and drummer Shawn Allen and bassist Erik Noren quickly build onto it. Beattie adds words and melodies at the end.

Rural Route Lyrics

Little girl disappeared and gone
From the Rural Route
Seven days missing something's wrong
On the rural route
Amber alert all over the nation
From the rural route
Two lane highway full of cops
On the rural route
Rural route

Police dogs howl from wire cages
On the rural route
Last seen leavin' a trailer
On the rural route
Just walkin' home alone
On the rural route
Newspaper prints her fifth grade picture
From the rural route
Rural route

Air stinks of crystal meth
On the rural route
Some one predicts a young girl's death
On the rural route
Father refuses to answer any questions
From the rural route
The man he runs around with comes up missing
Off the rural route
Rural route

Twenty miles away by a lake
On the rural route
Girl's body's found, it's been raped
By the rural route
Twenty-eight year old friend of the father
Arrested on the rural route
Father traded his daughter for favors
On the rural route
Rural route
Rural route

Here's my prayer loud and clear
From the rural route
Forgive us Lord, get us out of here
Off this rural route
Oh merciful Father, show us the will
Here on the rural route
Give us the mercy for the drug-addicted
And the mentally ill
On the rural route

Rural Route

Speaking with Rolling Stone contributor Anthony DeCurtis, Mellencamp explained the song originated with, "a phone call from my mother, who said that the body of a 10-year-old girl who'd been raped and killed had been found not far from where my parents live."

The last verse, he added, "prays for forgiveness, because nobody could have done such a gruesome thing if they had been in their right mind. When you live out here in the middle of nowhere, it's easy to get lost."

Time Is Tight Lyrics

Time Is Tight

Booker T. & the MG's were the house band for Stax Records, but they released some albums under their name. They recorded this in the mid-'60s and reworked it in the late-'60s as the theme for the film Up Tight.

After the demise of Booker T. & the MG's, band members Steve Cropper and Donald Dunn joined The Blues Brothers (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd), who used this in the introduction to their live show.

A famous cover of the song emerged by UK punk band The Clash, who would often use the song as a live warm-up. The Attractions' Steve Nieve contributed some piano lines in the recorded version, which was done at Marquee Studios in March 1978 before being completed by producer Bill Price in August 1979 during the London Calling sessions for inclusion on the US rarities compilation Black Market Clash. It featured only once live for the band, as the set opener to a show in Los Angeles in April 1980.

The Fog Lyrics

You see, I'm all grown-up now
He said
"Just put your feet down child
'Cause you're all grown-up now."
Just like a photograph I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
I pick it up
But I can't let you go
If I let you go
You slip into The Fog

This love was big enough for the both of us.
This love of yours,
Was big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark like the water was
The day I learned to swim.
He said "Just put your feet down child
Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."

Is this love big enough to watch over me
Big enough to let go of me?
Without hurting me
Like the day I learned to swim.
"'Cause you're all grown-up now
Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high.
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."

The Fog

Featuring classical violinist Nigel Kennedy and some seagull imitations, this song is about trying to grow up. "Growing up for most people is just trying to stop escaping, looking at things inside yourself rather than outside," Bush told NME. "But I'm not sure if people ever grow up properly, it's a continual process, growing in a positive sense."

Kate's physician father contributed the spoken word dialogue. Doctor Bush is also an accomplished pianist.

Moana Lyrics

Somehow calm as she walks on stage
Her entire empire becomes your taste
Your taste
Show me
Come

Let me know what you're like
Let me know what you're like
What's your taste?

I bet she carves your heart when she walks onstage
Her empire slowly becomes your place
Your place
Show me
Come

Let me know what you're like
Let me know what you're like
In your place, your place (place)

Somehow calm as she walks offstage
An entire empire recall your face
Your face
Show me
Come

Let me know what you're like
Let me know what you're like
Your face, your face

Rocket's Tail Lyrics

That Novenber night, looking up into the sky.
You said "Hey wish that was me up there
It's the biggest rocket I could find
And it's holding the night in its arms
If for only a moment.
I can't see the look in its eyes
But I'm sure it must be laughing."
But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen
And I thought you were crazy wishing such a thing.

I saw only a stick on fire
Alone on its journey
Home to the quickening ground
With no one there to catch it.

I put on my pointed hat
And my black and silver suit
And I check my gunpowder pack
And I strap the stick on my back
And dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge
Nobody seemed to see me
Then with the fuse in my hand
And now shooting into the night
And still as a rocket
I land in the river.

Was it me said you were crazy?
I put on my cloudiest suit
Size 5 lightening boots too
'Coz I am a rocket
On fire
Look at me go with my tail on fire
With my tail on fire
On fire
Hey, look at me go, look at me

Rocket's Tail

This song features backing vocals by Trio Bulgarka, a traditional Bulgarian vocal ensemble that appears throughout The Sensual World. "Rocket's actually my cat, but it was written for the Bulgarian girls," Bush explained to NME. "Ridiculous collection of images, nothing to do with Rocket really, he just started it all off. At the time the only song I could think of that mentioned rockets was 'Rocket Man' but since then there has been about three of them. I feel a bit like the Python sketch with that guy making eight-millimetre films saying 'Hitchcock had his Rear Window out while mine was still at the chemists'."

Bush actually recorded "Rocket Man" a couple of years later for the tribute album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin. Her reggae-inflected cover was a commercial success, peaking at #12 on the UK singles chart. In 2007 it won The Observer readers' award for Greatest Cover of all time.

The song features guitar by Bush's early music mentor, Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour.

When Girls Telephone Boys Lyrics

Always the same old taste just new injury
Well I'll wear the claws if you'd like that
Yeah if you'd like that we can ride on a black horse
A great new wave Hesparian death horse
I can call you when I get back
Yeah when I get back I will call
But don't speak, don't say nothing
In case we ever do meet again
Something's wrong with you
Well I hope we never do meet again
You always sharpen your teeth 'cause you're like that
And you're like that everytime you pull heart back
And her compact's carving deeper in your lay
I would call but I forget where the phone is at
Guess I'll talk to you when I get back
Yeah when I get back I will call
But don't speak, don't say nothing
In case we ever should meet again
There are some things wrong with you
I hope we never do meet again
I hope we never do meet again
I hope we never do meet again
Something's wrong with you... and I hope we never do meet again

When Girls Telephone Boys

This song is a fine example of what happens when you want to be in love with the wrong person. After too many failures, you want the person to just go away. When you get back to being yourself without this person, you don't care about them anymore, but in typical human fashion, they want to come back into your life. But now you just say no, because you're so much better than they are. You get the chance to say, "Something's wrong with you and I hope we never do meet again."

When Lyrics

No hears a word I say
And my prayers are never answered
But you'll never see the pain inside of me
Stabbing me over and over and over
I trusted you and I loved you
And you spit back in my face
How could you do this to me?
When will you stop trying to hurt me?

I've walked a minefield for you
A career in hell with you
I have made it through the things
Others would surely die just watching
And the oath I take on this day
Is to know that you will be repaid
One day the the sun will die and the night will crawl
Until then, until I see your world implode
I wish you death and suffering
Misery to spare
Time to release your pain
Face the last enemy
I am the last thing you will know
The last thing you will see
I see your death surrounding me
I know you, yes I do
I know you

When no words are spoken and please are ignored
Your tears go unnoticed, will you say enough?
When prayers are unanswered and your calls are unheard
The pain cuts right through you, have you seen enough?

It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies
A black cloud of indecision compromised your life

When judgement has failed you
When your own heart's impaled you
Your wandering mind has destroyed you
Will you ever know when?

When you give everything and the feeling is gone
All the giving is fake, did you fake enough?
When you take everything and you stay too long
When there's nothing left, did you take enough?

It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies
A black cloud of indecision compromised your life

When judgment has failed you
When your own heart's impaled you
Your wandering mind has destroyed you
Will you ever know when?

The main riff and structure of this song is very reminiscent of "Am I Evil?" by Diamond Head, which Dave Mustaine told Artist Direct was intentional. "I called up Brian Tatler from Diamond Head and said, 'Are you cool with me writing this song? It's kind of inspired by 'Am I Evil?'," the Megadeth frontman recalled. "He said, "Oh yeah sure, man!" We're close friends so it was my way of paying tribute to him. It's not exactly the same, but it's close."

Mustaine told Artist Direct that this angry song "was specifically at one person." He added: "That song could've had a great opportunity if it wasn't full of so much vitriol."

Born Too Late Lyrics

Born Too Late for you to notice me
To you, I''m just a kid that you won''t date
Why was I born too late?

Born too late to have a chance to win your love
Oh why, oh why was it my fate
To be born too late?

I see you walk with another
I wish it could be me
I long to hold you and kiss you
But I know it never can be

for I was

Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart just couldn''t wait
Why was I born too late?

Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart just couldn''t wait
Why was I born too la-a-a-a-ate?
Why was I born too late?
Too late

Born Too Late

This was released as the B-side of "Come on Joey, Dance With Me," but some DJs in Cleveland flipped the record and played this instead. It went on to become a hit.

The Poni-Tails were a female vocal group from Brush High School in Lyndhurst, Ohio. The original members are often listed as Toni Cistone (lead), LaVerne Novak (high harmony) and Karen Topinka, but on their first single ("Your Wild Heart" back with "Que La Bozena," released on the Point Label in 1957), the group is listed as Cistone, Topinka and Patti McCabe, who is often reported to be Topinka's replacement. In fact, Novak was Topinka's replacement in 1958. Have a look at the single and learn more about the band in Song Images.

This was The Poni-Tails only hit in the US. In 1959 they had a #26 hit in the UK with "Early To Bed."

Knee Deep In My Heart Lyrics

Life is running past me
Days and hours too
Like it had no color
Just different shades of blue
I heard about this love thing
But I still needed proof
'Cause I believed in nothing
'Til I believed in you

And I say
Wooh
You left your fingerprints
All over my soul

And I caught you out red handed
Knee Deep In My Heart
When I was upside down
Spinning round and round and round in the dark
Act so sweet but you're guilty as charged
I caught you out red handed
Knee deep in my heart

I never saw it coming
You took me by surprise
'Cause you ain't done the cover
Without an alibi
You done the perfect crime girl
Now I wanna do the time
'Cause I got no defense but hell
I'm gonna walk the line

And I say.
Wooh.
You left your fingerprints
All over my soul

And I caught you out red handed
Knee deep in my heart
When I was upside down
Spinning round and round and round in the dark
Act so sweet but you're guilty as charged
I caught you out red handed
Knee deep in my heart

Not the day the sweetest freedom
Not by what I believe in

Wooh

And I say
Wooh
You left your fingerprints
All over my soul
My soul

And I caught you out red handed
Knee deep in my heart
When I was upside down
Spinning round and round and round
And I caught you out red handed
Knee deep in my heart
When I was upside down
Spinning round and round and round in the dark
Act so sweet but you're guilty as charged
I caught you out red handed
Knee deep in my heart

Wooh

Perfect World Lyrics

I never could have seen this far
I never could have seen this coming
It seems like my world's falling apart
Why is everything so hard?
I don't think that I can deal
With the things you said
It just won't go away

In a Perfect World
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all

I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause I can't let go
I just can't find my way
Without you I just can't find my way

I don't know what I should do now
I don't know where I should go
I'm still here waiting for you
I'm lost when you're not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can't let you go

In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
You feel nothing
Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Tears Are Not Enough Lyrics

Tears for souvenirs
Tears Are Not Enough
Tears for shields and spears
Tears are not enough

Searching for certainty
When it's such an unstable world
Searching for something good
And I'm looking for the real McCoy
Blueprint: That says that boy meets girl
Picture: Girl meets boy
A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine

Yes you've shown your feelings
Yes you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough

Slam that door, slap my face
I don't love you anymore
Dry your eyes Sink or swim
You surmise you can't win
We all make great mistakes

Would I lie
Should I lie
Could I lie to you?
Excuses had their uses
But now they're all used up, all used up

Yes you've shown your feelings
Yes you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough

Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
Tears are not enoug

Tears Are Not Enough

ABC's first single was a spare funk tune produced by Steve Brown in which Martin Fry contends that "tears are not enough" to prove that a girl's emotions are genuine. The song peaked at #19 on the UK singles chart, whilst in the US, it was released as the B-side of "Poison Arrow."

The version that can be heard on the Lexicon of Love album was re-recorded by the band and produced by Trevor Horn. It features lavish orchestration by Art Of Noise's Anne Dudley, one of several on the LP. According to Horn, they were her first ever string arrangements.
