Boom Skit Lyrics

Brown gal, brown gal, turn your shit down
You know America don’t wanna hear your sound
Boom boom jungle music, go back to India
With your crazy shit, you’re bumming up the area
Looking through your Instagram, looking for a pentagram
All I see is poor people, they should be on ghetto-gram
You don’t get our underground, Bro-fest are overground
Fist pump, eat, hammer, even throw your dick around
Yeah you try to stick around do you do your bic around?
Let you into superbowl you tried to steal Madonna’s crown
What the fuck you on about?
Think about goin to France, quelle heure est-il?
Its the time to do the terror dance
Eat, pray, love, spend time in the Ashram
Or I’ll drone you, Kony 2012 you now scram!

(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)
(Boom shaka laka boom)

Boom Skit

When M.I.A. performed "Give Me All Your Luvin'" with Madonna and Nicki Minaj at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show, she controversially extended her middle finger to the camera. The NFL responded by filing a lawsuit against M.I.A. for $1.5 million in damages and demanding a public apology from her. The ever-provocative singer-songwriter references the issue here over a 76-second Hit-Boy beat: "Let you in to Super Bowl you try to steal Madonna's crown. What the f--k you on about?"

Antiphon Lyrics

Antiphon

Midlake spent much of 2011 and 2012 painstakingly recording their fourth album at the farm in Buffalo, Texas where The Courage Of Others was tracked. However the perfectionism of frontman and songwriter Tim Smith was increasingly frustrating the rest of the group and in late 2012 he announced that he was leaving Midlake to form a new project called Harp. The question arose as to how would the remaining four members (Eric Pulido, McKenzie Smith, Paul Alexander and Eric Nichelson) manage without Smith's songs?

"Of what we'd recorded," Pulido told Mojo magazine, "Tim had said, 'You can have this…' but what we couldn't take with us turned out to be 75% of the recording." The solution was to begin again from scratch, and the quartet wrote and recorded a new full-length album in just six months. Pulido said that they titled it Antiphon, "because it means a response to an oratory or piece of music, and this album is a response to what's gone on with Tim. The original Antiphon was an orator in Ancient Greece who was part of an oligarchy that fought democracy. But we didn't overthrow Tim! He's not Antiphon."

I've Told You Now Lyrics

You know what I mean
It's like walking in the heat all day with no water
It's like waiting for a friend
Watching everybody else meet theirs on that corner
Or losing in an argument
Although you're right can't get your thoughts in order

Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain

But what the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh I
I've Told You Now

You know what I mean
Although I try my best I still let down the team
You're everything I want
Why should I resist when you are there for me?

Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain

But what the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh the truth spills out
And oh I
I've told you now

I've told you now
And I've told you now!
And I've told you now!

Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain

So what the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
What the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time

Oh, the truth spills out
And oh I
I've told you now

I've Told You Now

Sam Smith and Eg White wrote this song, which is about unrequited love. White's resumé also includes Will Young's Ivor Novello Award winning "Leave Right Now," James Morrison's UK Top 10 hit, "You Give Me Something" and Adele's international smash, "Chasing Pavements." It was the first tune that the pair penned together.

Smith wrote this song about a heartbreak when he fell for a guy who turned out to be straight, and thus not interested in his advances. Smith says he thought the guy was interested, so after more than a few drinks, he poured his heart out to him, only to be rejected.

Introducing this song at concerts during his first tour, Smith would often ask the audience, "Has anyone ever been in love with someone who doesn't love you back?"

The track that you hear on In the Lonely Hour is actually the demo version that Smith recorded for the album. He had tonsillitis on the day that he recorded it, and he loved the fact that the listener can hear that.

Who I Am Lyrics

Look at me I am the sun
I’ll blind your eyes, the only one.
Look at me when night sings blues,
I’m the only one, yes I’m your muse.

Look at me, make no mistake,
Fashioned with earth, molded with clay.
I’ll tell you how I face the day,
Live life, raise hell, left nothing undone.

Who I Am, who am I to you?
You know dammit, I speak the truth to you.
Who I am, who am I to you?
Why can’t I be who I am?

Look at me, I’m not like you.
I’m number one, not number two.
Look at me a pride and joy,
I came to win, I came to destroy.
Look at me, look in my eyes Heart of a lion,
I'll fight till I die!
Life’s too short to expect less
Even when I fall, I get up swinging

Who I am, who am I to you?
You know, dammit, I speak the truth to you
Who I am, who am I to you?
Why can’t I be who I am?

Who I am, who am I to me?
You know dammit, I speak the truth, you see
Who I am, who am I to me?
I just wanna be who I am
Just wanna be who I am
Just wanna be who I am

Who I Am

Scott Stapp's slow suicide after Creed became one of the most successful bands in America included arrests for suspected intoxication in 2006 and for domestic abuse the following year. This song finds him explaining that his self-destructive behavior was down to his own ego. "Who I Am," Stapp stated, "is the first composition in which I embody a character. That character is pure unadulterated ego. Unchecked, ego can take you down as quickly as the deadliest drug. When stardom came my way, I tripped out on ego. I OD'd on ego. And on this record I wanted to expose ego for what it is; I wanted to give ego a voice; I wanted ego to unleash its rage and express its need to possess my soul. In no uncertain terms, ego says, 'I came to destroy.' Pernicious raw ego stands as an enemy to peace of mind and is the counterpoint to much of this record's dramatic tension."

Sweet Painted Lady Lyrics

I'm back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We're all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

If the boys all behave themselves here
Well, there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh, the prices I charge here will see you alright

So, she lays down beside me again
My Sweet Painted Lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game, oh

Forget us we'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game, oh

Only One Lyrics

You can go, you can leave this town.
Forget about the people and the places,
and the faces that have let you down
You can hide, you can change your name
But the fear will always find you,
if it’s coming from inside you,
so you’ve gotta change

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and Only One.

If you leave, tell me where you'd go?
Would you lock yourself inside a place,
so no one had the chance to face you on your own

'Cause when we fall down, we can stay down
But the freedom that we wanna find,
is only found when we’re off the ground.

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me.
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you.

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you.

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

Only One

This song finds Scott Stapp giving voice to the steadying and sacred force that keeps him afloat after years of self-destructive behavior. "It's that still small voice inside that I call God," he said. "My heart tells me that God is always there. 'Even when you feel your breath fading from your lung,' God is reaching out to accept you in ways that renew your spirit and energize your soul."

Ballroom Dancing Lyrics

Well I used to smile when I was a pup
Sailing down the Nile in china cup
With the recipe for a lovely day
Sticking out my back pocket

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till me made it up in the ballroom

Ballroom Dancing made a man of me
One, two, three, four
I just plain adore your
Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV
I got what I got from ballroom dancing
Big b.d.

Well I used to fly when I was a kid
And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit
On a carpet ride to a foreign land
At the time of Davy Crockett

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till me made it up in the ballroom

Ballroom dancing made a man of me
One, two, three, four
I just plain adore your
Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing
Big b.d.

Well went so fast and we all grew up
Now the days have passed in the china cup
Are the memories of another day
And I wouldn't want to knock it

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till we made it up in the ballroom

Ballroom dancing made a man of me
One, two, three, four
I just plain adore your
Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing
Big b.d.

Ballroom Dancing

American fans didn't get it, but British fans loved this song because it was a satirical send-up of the ballroom dancing craze in England in the early 1980s. The biggest hits on British television at the time were ballroom dancing competitions ("seen it on TV").

Hit Me More Lyrics

40 days of rain.
40 nights it poured.
I can't take it anymore,
It's getting overboard.
I lean forward.
Wandered through mountains,
Ran through valley's so low.
Been down the road less traveled,
A million times before.
Went through hell to find my heaven,
Crossing up my lines.
Went through hell to find my heaven,
Fighting for my life.

10 floors down,
I dove into the night.
The stars were in my eyes, I scream,
Come on Hit Me More.
Broken by the sound.
Blinded by the light.
You say it's do or die, I scream,
Come on hit me more
There's a choice to be made,
Come on, what you waiting for?
Is that all you got?
Come on hit me more.

Hit me with sunshine,
Burn my skin,
Reign down fire,
Come on bring it again.
Gotta pay it forward.
Float like a butterfly,
Sting like a bee,
I want you to give me your best mohammad ali
Went through hell to find my heaven,
Crossing up my lines.
Went through hell to find my heaven,
Got nothing left to hide.

10 floors down,
I dove into the night.
The stars were in my eyes. I scream,
Come on hit me more.
Broken by the sound.
Blinded by the light.
You say it's do or die, I scream,
Come on hit me more
There's a choice to be made,
Come on, what you waiting for.
Is that all you got?
Come on hit me more.

"float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
I want you to give me, your best mohammed ali
I lean forward

10 floors down,
I dove into the night.
The stars were in my eyes,I scream,
Come on hit me more.
Broken by the sound.
Blinded by the light.
You say it's do or die, I scream,
Come on hit me more
There's a choice to be made,
Come on, what you waiting for?
Is that all you got?
Come on hit me more.

Hit Me More

This song finds Scott Stapp revisiting a horrific episode from his past when during a drug-fueled bout of paranoia, he jumped ten stories off a hotel ledge in Miami Beach and miraculously survived. Stapp now sees it a life-altering moment. "Rationally, I should have been dead," he said. "Yet all it did was strengthen my conviction that, as hard as I tried to control or even end my story, my story was really out of my hands."

I Love LA Lyrics

I Love LA

Randy Newman was asked to write a song about Los Angeles as a theme to the 1984 Olympics, which were held there. Instead, he wrote a tongue-in-cheek "homage" to the car-cruising, sun-worshipping LA culture, complete with mentions of a "Big nasty redhead" and a "Bum down on his knees." LA officials didn't think this was the image they wanted, but Newman released the song anyway. Despite the unsavory references to the city, the song became an anthem for Los Angeles, as most people didn't listen far beyond the chorus. This is typical of Newman's songwriting; he often writes lyrics that mean more than what's on the surface. "I don't want to sing everything out of the side of my mouth," he once said.

Randy Newman's cousin, Tim Newman, directed the video. Tim had lots of experience directing commercials, but had never done a music video. For most of the video, we see Randy driving around Los Angeles, taking in the beautiful sights along the way. Tim said it was the most fun he ever had at his job.

For a while this was the adopted theme song for the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. It is also played after every LA Dodgers home victory.
