Someday (Place in the Sun) Lyrics

They never have time to give you
They’re always on the run
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Your work has just begun
Someday you will find your place in the sun
Find a place in the sun
Find a place in the sun

Back to the beginning in fact no we’re winning
Thanks to the spectacular raps that I’m scribbling
It’s ‘Bachs that I’m driven in
Plaques in my living room
The stats match the facts man I'm back, back, back, back
Mama look we made it out the flats we was living in
Times I nearly thought I would collapse living in Britian
Smiling in pictures
Flying to fixtures
Never in denial cos the Nile is a river
Rappers on the sly try’na eye my elixir
Jealousy’s a crime bet your pride won’t resist ‘ya
To get to where I am I cried like I was injured
Bled like a soldier perspired like a sprinter
Brother said T keep an eye out from them rinsers
People that you hang with are trying to lynch ya
Never break down
I’ll be there to lift ya
You’re perfect how you are so why they trying to fix ya

They never have time toAnnotate give you
They’re always on the run
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Your work has just begun
Someday you will find your place in the sun
Find a place in the sun
Find a place in the sun

Away from the pain and the sadness
Soon the whole world is gonna understand my language
Everybody’s try’na find a method to the madness
Wankers hating on me ‘cos I did it single handed
Whatever will be will be even if you plan it
On the road to success but feeling like I’m stranded
Disturbing London ho, I don’t speak no other language
Started with a goal and then I ended with a hat-trick
Selling out arenas think it’s time to do a new tour
Pennies for the thoughts that I’m about to give you food for
Never show emotion even on a mood board
Sold my bandwagon then I went and bought a two door
Dizzee made me rap and rider made me get my groove on
I just wanna hit a billion views and do a tune Sean
Thinking ’bout life listening to too short
One day they’ll have a statue of me in Madame Tussauds

They never have time toAnnotate give you
They’re always on the run
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London
Your work has just begun
Someday you will find your place in the sun
Find a place in the sun
Find a place in the sun

For that spot I’ma use Cruella Deville power
Or do a Willow and Jaden and use my willpower
Victory is the sweetest defeat is real sour
Together we can move mountains rebuild towers
A lot of hurt still waiting for God to heal ours
Stand up and rebel again the real cowards

They never have time to give you
They’re always on the run (on the run)
But you keep on working for your place in the sun
When the lights go out in London (Disturbing London)
Your work has just begun (we’ve just begun)
Someday you will find your place in the sun

Someday (Place in the Sun)

Tempah explained in a track-by-track video that this song is about how he started in the cold, harsh streets of London and had to face many obstacles to get to where he is today (his "place in the sun").

The song features vocals by Virgin/EMI singer-songwriter Ella Eyre, who also sung on Rudimental's chart-topping single, "Waiting All Night."

Looking Down the Barrel Lyrics

Looking Down the Barrel

This track filled with boisterous boastings and laugh-out-loud punchlines follows on from where the Disc-Overy track "Obsession" left off. Tempah explained that he decided to fill the tune with "random retorts and different tangents he was going off on," concerning fame, life, relationships and success.

The song's Johnny Cash-flavoured beat was supplied by Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, and the song's sample of Gator Creek's 1970 track "Betty Jean's Mama" was selected by the electronica musician. "The beat is very odd," Tempah told The Sun. "It's grimey and there's a Johnny Cash-esque sample too. I'm always trying to flip it. I've put some weird lyrics in there too; just things that pop into my head. I think it's great for people to get into my mind. I think people were wondering 'Who is this guy?' It's important for me to let people in a bit more."

King For A Day Lyrics

There's no way
I'm coming back to you
I've just got to say
That everything we did is through
You tried to undermine
The better ranges of my nature
But soon you're going to find
You should have started talking straighter
Now don't you worry
I won't put you down
I'm in no hurry, baby
To see you go to ground
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only King For A Day
I guess you're happy that way

Well there's no hope
For peace and reconciliation
You're quick to play your hand
But what you haven't learnt is patience
So look before you leap
To tell the world your colored story
It's clear your talk is cheap
You'd do anything to get your glory
So spread your wings and fly
There is no doubt
You're so sorry inside you've got something to shout about
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way

And there's no love
Ever to be lost between us
I guess this is because
The damage that you've done is so grievous
So I hang my head
To dwell on what might have been
But what you left instead
Is pieces of a broken dream

Now don't you worry
I won't put you down
I'm in no hurry
To see you go to ground
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way

So spread your wings and fly
There is no doubt
You're so sorry inside you've
Got something to shout about

Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way

Don't you see that you're only king for a day
You must believe that

The Nameless Lyrics

Pathetic benign accept it undermine
Your opinion my justification
Happy safe servant caged
Malice utter weakness
No toleration, invade
Committed enraged admit it
Don't condescend don't even disagree
Destroy decay disappoint delay
You've suffered then now suffer unto me

Obsession, take another look
Remember, every chance you took
Decide, either live with me
Or give up, any thought you had of being free

(don't go) I never wanted anybody more
Than I wanted you
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved
Was hate

Anyone no anything yes anyway fall anybody mine
Anybody tell me
I want you I need you I'll have you I won't
Let anybody have you
Obey me believe me just trust me worship me
Live for me
Be grateful now be honest now be precious now
Be mine just love me

Possession, feed my only vice
Confession, I won't tell you twice
Decide, either die for me
Or give up, any chance you had of being free

(don't go) I never wanted anybody more
Than I wanted you
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved
Was hurting you
(don't go) I never wanted anybody more
Than I wanted you
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved
Was hate

Stay inside the hole, let me take control
Dominate
You are nothing more, you are something less
Innocent
Something has to give, something has to break
Omnipresent
Fingers in your skin, let me savage in
You deserve it

(don't go) I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved was hurting you
(don't go) I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved was hate

You're mine (I know who you are)

To Live And Die In LA Lyrics

To Live And Die In LA

This is the title track to William Friedkin's 1985 crime drama To Live and Die in LA Wang Chung wrote the original score for the film (which included this song).

According to the DVD commentary on To Live and Die in L.A., director William Friedkin didn't want a theme song for the movie, but Jack Hues and Nick Feldman of Wang Chung wrote one anyway, which was this song. Friedkin liked it and decided to use it in his movie.

In an interview with Eric Greenberg on the Just My Show podcast, Jack Hues of Wang Chung explained: "It all has to do with the opportunity to explore a new genre. I started out just a kid in love with the Beatles music and learning to play guitar, but when I got around 18, I wanted to go to university. And at that time you had to do classical music if you wanted to do music in university. So I got into classical music, and that whole thing of long form composition - outside of a three-minute pop song - was something I really, really wanted to do. So the opportunity for To Live and Die in LA was ideal for me creatively. It gave me the chance to really expand ideas instead of always having to pare them down and try and fit them into that three-minute format."

The Spark Lyrics

A little bit of misfit dancing
A little bit of jojo dancing
A little bit of thoughts of mine coming out
The mind of this midnight rambler

I can't wait 'til these tunes of mine
Get me out of this local jam
Get up, up on that big stage now
Show the world just who the heck I am

Ever thank you if it all goes right
You got something that could change your life
Use that moment just to show your life
Everything is gonna be alright.

Crashing through the stars, alright
I'm screaming 'til the stars collide
I'm tellin' everybody, that's right
We all got The Spark,
We all got the spark tonight

Takin' back the way we are
'Cause that's just the way we are
I'm crashing through the dark, well alright
We all got the spark,
We all got the spark tonight

They say if you look around
For something hard enough
And you just might find it
And there's some around who wanna keep you down
But Shawty don't be blinded
Feeling trapped
Thinking that you can't get out of this hum drum scene
Time to turn this thing upside down
Show these people what you really mean

Everything that you could lose your mind
Could it be the big dream you'll find
No more waiting 'cause it's almost time
Everything is gonna be alright.

Crashing through the stars, alright
I'm screaming 'til the stars collide
I'm tellin' everybody, that's right
We all got the spark,
We all got the spark tonight

Takin' back the way we are
'Cause that's just the way we are
I'm crashing through the dark, well alright
We all got the spark,
We all got the spark tonight

I'mma feel this forever
Or even if it's just tonight
I can see the end much clearer
Even when I close my eyes

Tryin' to keep myself from falling
Tryin' to get this thing right
I gotta do this more often
Well, well maybe tonight

Crashing through the stars, alright
I'm screaming 'til the stars collide
I'm tellin' everybody, that's right
We all got the spark,
We all got the spark tonight

Takin' back the way we are
'Cause that's just the way we are
I'm crashing through the dark, well alright
We all got the spark,
We all got the spark tonight

(Yeah, we all got the spark
We all got the spark tonight)
(Yeah, we all got the spark
We all got the spark tonight)

The Spark

This song features vocals by Nashville singer-guitar player-rapper, Spree Wilson. Afrojack recalled the track's origins to Billboard magazine: "I started working with Spree on the song in the studio and he already wrote the song. Then the label came and were like, 'Hey look: we're the label, let's put some major artist on there' and it didn't really work because it completely disrupts the balance of the song. It became too pop sounding." Ultimately, Wilson was retained as the featured artist, a first for the songwriter.

The music video was directed by Tim Nackashi, who is best known for helming clips for artists such as Maroon 5, OneRepublic and OK Go. The visual sees Afrojack hitting Las Vegas and partying in a mansion. (The Dutch DJ was a resident at the time at Sin City's Wynn luxury resort).

This was released as the lead single from Forget The World. Afrojack told Rolling Stone that the album title has a lot of meaning for him. He explained: "It's basically a message not just to my fans, but also to myself, to always remember to keep following your heart, keep following your path, and never try to let the things around you get you down."

I Never Told You What I Do For A Living Lyrics

I Never Told You What I Do For A Living

The album is a story of a man and a woman. They both die - the man goes to hell and the woman goes to heaven. The man then makes a deal with the Devil that if he brings 1000 evil souls to the Devil he can be with his wife again. As the last song on the album, this tells the conclusion of their story:
"And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
we'll love again, we'll laugh again
and it's better off this way
and never again, and never again
they gave us two shots to the back of the head
and we're all dead now."

This is the last song on the album, and it is his last night of killing before his deal with the devil will be completed and he can see his lover again, hence the lyrics, "Another night and I'll see you" because he is almost done collecting 1000 souls. All the killing that he has done has made him feel dirty and the "stain that won't come off the sheets" is referring to something that he'll never be able to forget. He thinks the devil has lied to him, and he didn't send him to his lover, but he feels that he should stop killing now as they'll eventually meet again in another life. The devil ruined his plans of being with his wife and metaphorically shot him twice in the back of the head, and now they're both dead.

Beachin' Lyrics

So just watchin' her blonde hair, sun burn, stare at them, wack caps rolling over
Laid back in a thrift store beach chair, droppin' limes in her Corona
Well she looks back, yeah, she throws me a kiss, like honey I sure want you
And it's a hundred and three between her and me and only 92 in Daytona

And it's sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
Chillin', breazin', sippin', singin' whoaoaoh

Beachin'

We got 2-for-1s, we're at a margarita bar, whatever happens happens
And there's a reggae band, full of dread head, just sittin' in the corner laughin'
Well my baby walks over, drops a 20 in a jar, she smiles and shakes it at me
Yeah, she gets 'em goin', she gets 'em playin' a little, don't worry be happy

And it's sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
Chillin', breazin', sippin', singin' whoaoaoh

Beachin'

You got a margarita here in my hand, doin' a little drinkin'

Talkin' 'bout sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
Chillin', breazin', sippin', singin' whoaoaoh,

Beachin', sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand

Beachin'

This summery lifestyle jam with a laid-back groove finds Jake Owen singing of a slow and relaxing time by the sea. He sings:

"And it's sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, so tight.
Rollin' white sand, cold can, koozie in my hand just a summer time strollin.'
Chillin' breezin' sippin' singin' oh-oh-oh.
Beachin'."

Owen told Rolling Stone this Jaren Johnston, Jon Nite and Jimmy Robbins penned tune, "sounds like if 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' had a sister song, this would be it."

The song's music video continues the love story that started at the end of the clip for "Days Of Gold." The visual is the second of three installments of the ongoing tale.

Jaren Johnston told Roughstock about the day he wrote the song with Jimmy Robbins and Jon Nite. "I came in there, and at the time, [Kenny] Chesney was picking songs for the Island record (Life On A Rock) that he did a while back with 'Pirate Flag' and all that stuff on it," the songwriter recalled. "Originally when we got through it, I was like, 'Man, this would be great for Chesney.' So I called him and told him I was going to send him a song. He got it and listened to it, and told me it was cool, but he was kind of done with the album."

"I kind of went back in, and we changed it up a bit because I knew that Jake was cutting (Days Of Gold), because I already had a couple of songs cut with him for that record," Johnston added. "I wanted to make the verses more Shawn Mullins-like. We got through that first chorus, and we all thought it would be perfect for Jake. It was totally his world ... he's super on the water all the time, always on the beach or on a boat or whatever. I sent it to him the next morning, and he hit me back immediately saying he wanted to play it for his producers, and here we are!"

The song was Owen's third #1 on the Country chart. The Nashville star first reached the summit with "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" in September 2011, before reigning with "Alone With You," in April 2012.

This was Owen's second summer hit following his success with "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" in 2011. "We put it out hoping it would do well, but you never really know when you put a song out," Owen told Billboard magazine. "The timing was perfect, and it went #1 July 4 weekend," he said. "I guess I'm the summertime anthem guy now."

Work Lyrics

If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When's it ever not
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along

All I can say I should say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time

The best DJs are saving their slowest song for last
When the dance is through it's me and you
Come on, would it really be so bad
The things we think may be the same
But I won't fight for more
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure

All I can say I should have said
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
You want to take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
We still have time

Can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play they're never okay to mix
The way we do

All I can say I should have said
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
You want to take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
We still have time

Work

In this coming-of-age song, Jimmy Eat World frontman Jim Adkins makes his case to a girl, asking her to ride off with him. It's very "Thunder Road" in its sentiment of escaping the confines of where you grew up and seeking something more, replete with romantic intent.

This features backing vocals by alt-rocker Liz Phair. Jim Adkins told Phoenix New Times: "There was something about 'Work' that reminded me of Liz Phair. Don't know exactly what it was. I always think it's interesting to hear male and female voices contributing to complex relationship type songs. Our A&R person had a connection with her, so I figured why not just ask Liz Phair to sing with us. She was into it. So in a couple days, we had Liz Phair in the studio in L.A. where we were working doing backups."

The music video, directed by Marc Webb, was filmed at Madison West High School in Madison, Wisconsin. Through interviews, the students share their fears about life after graduation.
