God Bless the Girl Lyrics

Jacqui loves her work, and her work is love
For there is no other
She says "god has given me a job"
Jacqui loves her work
There is no other
Jacqui's aiming for the stars but landed on the clouds
There is no other
Sitting in her corner too afraid to run away
Like a slave without chains

The wonder turns to danger, spring turns to winter
God Bless the Girl
But I will treasure, treasure every single moment
God bless the girl
Fire turns to water, light becomes darkness
God bless the girl
And I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl
God bless the girl
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl

You don't need another friend, you just need a reason
There is no other
Jacqui loves her work, and her work is love
For there is no other

The wonder turns to danger, spring turns to winter
God bless the girl
But I will always treasure, treasure every single moment
God bless the girl
Fire turns to water and light becomes darkness
God bless the girl
I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl
God bless the girl
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
The years pass so swiftly
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
Years pass so swiftly
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)

God Bless the Girl

This energized track had the working title "Gospel" for a long time until it was finished towards the end of recording.

At one point this was included on The Next Day and moved up and down the tracklisting, then it was off the album, then back on. Ultimately it was designated to be a bonus track for the Japanese album release, as well as featuring on the expanded three-disc collector's edition of the LP, The Next Day Extra.

Old Admirals Lyrics

I can well recall the first time I ever put to sea
It was on the old 'Calcutta' in 1853
I was just a lad of fourteen years, a midshipman to be
To make my way in sailing ships of the Royal Navy

By the time that I was twenty-one I'd sailed the world around
Weathered storms in the China seas with the hatches battened down
And made my way by starlight off the coast of Newfoundland
And dined on beer and herrings while the waves blew all around

I live in retirement now
And through my window comes the sound of seagulls
And sets my mind remembering
The evening stars like memories sail far beyond the distant trees
Way out across the open seas
I hear them sing

Oh the wooden ships they turned to iron and the iron ships to steel
And shed their sails like autumn leaves with the turning of the wheel
And I was given captain's rank and soon took under me
The proudest ship that ever sailed for queen and country

Ah, the old queen she passed away with the new born century
And I received my calling up to the admiralty
The sands ran through the hourglass each day more rapidly
As we watched the growing of the fleets of high Germany

So at last the Great War blazed
I waited with the passing days
The call to arms that never came
Writing letters

I may be old now in your eyes
But all my years have made me wise
You don't see where the danger lies
Oh call me back, call me back

But the war it ran its course, they could find no use for me
And I live in the country now, grandchildren on my knee
And sometimes think in all this world the saddest thing to be
Old Admirals who feel the wind, and never put to sea

Now just like you I've sailed my dreams like ships across the sea
And some of them they've come on rocks, and some faced mutiny
And when they're sunken one by one I'll join that company
Old admirals who feel the wind, and never put to sea

Old Admirals

Stewart wrote this after reading a biography of Admiral Lord Fisher, who resigned as First Sea Lord in 1915 after a dispute with Winston Churchill.

Fisher (1841-1920) is regarded by some as second only to Lord Nelson in British naval history. He was born in what was then Ceylon, the son of a British Army officer, enlisted in the Royal Navy aged just thirteen and rose to the position of First Sea Lord, retiring on his 70th birthday. Fisher was recalled after Prince Louis Battenberg (another of Stewart's heroes) was forced to resign at the outbreak of war in Europe on account of his German ancestry. Both these men appear in "Manuscript," the song which can be said to have started historical folk-rock.

The album version of "Old Admirals" runs to 5 minutes 54 seconds; it is also included on the 1996 unofficial fan club release Oceans Of Delphi, in which Stewart tells his audience this was the most uncommercial song possible being about the rise of British sea power immediately prior to the First World War. Fisher, he added, was utterly devoted to the British Empire, and was cast aside and forgotten at the end of his life; the song was an extended metaphor for growing old and unwanted.
Although the first part of this statement is undoubtedly true, Fisher was anything but forgotten in old age. He resigned in May 1915 after a dispute with Churchill, but soon found another post, and on his death he was given an illustrious funeral at Westminster Abbey.
Stewart said on this live recording that "Old Admirals" was probably his personal favorite of the songs he had ever written (up until that time), but he has said the same thing about "Manuscript," the first song he wrote in this new genré, and which bears an even stronger metaphor.

This is the closing bonus track on The Next Day Extra, an expanded three-disc collector's edition of Bowie's first studio album in 10 years, The Next Day. Producer Tony Visconti commented to NME: "I am far from the best interpreter of Bowie lyrics, but I'll stick my neck out one more time. 'So She' is a wistfully sung love song. It kind of makes me feel romantically sad. Harmonically it is quite sophisticated for such a short piece."

A--hole Lyrics

A--hole

This vitriol-filled attack on haters features Skylar Grey on the hook. Grey (birth name Holly Brook Hafermann) formerly performed as simply Holly Brook and was featured under that name on Fort Minor's hit single "Where'd You Go." After her success with that song, she maintained a low profile in the industry until gaining widespread fame as the songwriter who created the chorus for Eminem's international hit "Love The Way You Lie." Grey also appeared on Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor" and Diddy-Dirty Money's "Coming Home," as well as releasing her debut solo album, which was executive produced by Slim Shady.

The beat was supplied by Alex Da Kid, the guy who produced "Love The Way You Lie." It was one of three tracks he helmed that finished up on The Marshall Mathers LP 2, the other two being the Deluxe Edition bonus tracks, "Wicked Ways" and "Desperation." The British producer explained to Artist Direct how he worked with Eminem on the record. "When Marshall first started to work on MMLP2, we discussed his vision for the album and where he wanted to go creatively," he said. "Then I went to work making beats and hooks that I thought would align with this vision and take it to the next level. Every few months or so, we would reconvene and he would pick the tracks he liked and write to them. Sometimes we would redefine the initial idea, but most of the time it stayed pretty true to the demo."

Here In Your Bedroom Lyrics

Here In Your Bedroom,
I can turn my head off
The less that I feel
Is the less that I'm on top

I wonder what you think
As we lay here in bed
I don't know what I'm thinking,
But that's better for my head

When I wake up tomorrow
Will you still feel the same?
When I wake up tomorrow
Will you have changed?

[Chorus]

'cause I still feel the same
'cause I still feel the same
I, I still feel the same

Here in your bedroom
I can turn my head off
The less that I feel
Is the less that I'm on top

I wonder what you think
As we lay here in bed
I don't know what I'm thinking,
But that's better for my head

When I wake up tomorrow
Will you still feel the same?
When I wake up tomorrow
Will you have changed?

[Chorus]

Here we go!

Here in your bedroom,
I feel safe from the outside.
I can tell that you're changing,
But still I feel so high.

I wonder what you think.
Sometimes I feel so old.
I don't know if it's worth it
When I just do what I'm told.

When I wake up tomorrow,
Will you still feel the same?
When I wake up tomorrow,
Will you have changed?

[Chorus]

I, I still feel the same
I, I still feel the same
Won't you?

Here In Your Bedroom

Written on New Year's Eve of 1995 by lead singer and backup guitarist John Feldmann, this song was Goldfinger's first major single to gain a large mainstream following. It marked their departure from an underground Punkish band into Pop/Punk semi-stardom (they were still relatively unknown). The song still remains one of the most popular songs in their live lineups even after over a decade of playing it.

Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat Lyrics

Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat

DJ/producers Fatboy Slim and Riva Starr enlisted beatboxer Beardyman to provide the vocal hook for this banger. Beardyman's real name is Darren Foreman. He came up with his moniker after quickly needing a nickname for a flyer for an early show, at a time when he'd grown a beard.

The song was inspired by a strange encounter in New York. "Me and Riva were out vinyl shopping in Williamsburg, Brooklyn earlier this year when we met this dude ranting in the street about some 3-day bender he had been on," recalled Fatboy, "We hooked him into our serato and chopped him up into a tune. I just wish we'd caught his full name."

The song's remix by Calvin Harris was released on October 27, 2013 in the United Kingdom as the single, with the original version being included on the EP. It became Fatboy Slim's first Biritish Top 10 hit since "Star 69" in 2001 and Riva Starr's debut UK chart entry.

In 2006 Beardyman became UK Beatbox Champion. When he retained his title the following year, he became the first beatboxer in UK history to win two championships in a row.

The song's music video features 250 contestants in a marathon dance endurance contest. Fatboy Slim said of the clip, "I take off my hat and trousers to everyone who competed. It was brutal, it was emotional and no-one died."

He's My Best Friend Lyrics

I've known him all my life
It seems so inconceivable
At thirteen we shooks hands but we've been always inseparable
He's cinnamon on my toast, we're so close

That's not to say we haven't had our share of arguments
He's so unpredictable he winks acknowledgments
When I would rather he closed his eye
Than push me aside

My hands a five leaf clover
It's psalm Sunday over and over
I never had the luck of swingers
Til' I was wrapped around your finger

He's My Best Friend
He's my best friend
He's my best friend
I'm his best friend
He's my best friend

You don't need a brain to have a stroke of genius
Or a beautiful girl to let down your curls
Cause growing up is hard enough
When your a powder keg for powder puffs (whether we're stayin' in or hanging out)
I'd never ask another on a date to the ball
He doesn't need a rubber sweater or alcohol
Cause he gets tipsy from exchanging looks
And a little misty reading sticky (blue dirty books)

But he's my best friend
He's my best friend
I'm his best friend
He's my best friend

My hand's a five leaf clover
It's psalm Sunday over and over
I never had the luck of swingers
Til' I was wrapped around your finger

He's my best friend (we could hold hands for hours)
He's my best friend (in the bedroom or shower)
He's my best friend (I pick him up when he's feelin' down)
He's my best friend (I guess he's always been hangin' around)
He's my best friend (he gets lonely now and then)
He's my best friend (and he gets shy around another men)
I'm his best friend (it seems I've reached the end of my best friend)

He's My Best Friend

This song is an obvious ode to masturbation. Some of the evidence:
"I've known him all my life"
"At 13 we shook hands"
"My hand's a 5 leaf clover, it's palm Sunday over and over."

Elastic Heart Lyrics

And another one bites the dust
But why can I not conquer love?
And I might've got to be with one
Why not fight this war without weapons?
And I want it and I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
And let's be clear, I trust no one

You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace

Well I've got thick skin and an Elastic Heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart

And I will stay up through the night
Let's be clear, I won't close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I walked through fire to save my life
And I want it, I want my life so bad
And I'm doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one

You did not break me (You did not break me, no, no)
I'm still fighting for peace

Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart

Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart

Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart

Elastic Heart

This soaring ballad is a collaboration between Australian singer-songwriter Sia, Toronto R&B crooner The Weeknd, and Philadelphia producer Diplo, who as well as heading his own dancehall project (Major Lazer) has also provided the soundscape for a succession of pop hits such as Usher's "Climax" and Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now."

The song started as a track that Diplo sent to Sia. Her reaction was immediate: "For the first time ever, I called someone and said, 'Do not send that track to anyone else - I'll pay for the track tomorrow,'" she recalled to Billboard magazine. "And he said, 'You don't have to pay for the track, you dingaling, it's yours.'"

Sia wrote lyrics for the song about finding love after enduring heartbreak and pain, hoping that Katy Perry would record it, maybe for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack. Perry passed, so the Australian songstress did her own vocal. Sia's manager got the Weeknd to add his falsetto to the mix, anticipating it would enhance the song's chances of being chosen for the soundtrack. The plan worked and after Sia was shown an early draft of the movie, she rewrote the lyrics to make the song fit the film franchise.

The song's music video reunites "Chandelier" director Daniel Askill, choreographer Ryan Heffington and Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler. The clip features a dance battle between a shirtless Shia LaBeouf (Transformers, Fury) and a blonde-bobbed Maddie Ziegler in a giant bird cage.

The intimacy between the two actors provoked concerns of pedophilia on social media. Sia addressed the outcry on Twitter describing the pairs' performance as "These two warring 'sia' self states."

She added, "I apologize to those who feel triggered by #ElasticHeart My intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody."

Maddie Ziegler thought Shia LeBeouf did "really well" considering he hadn't had much dance experience before the video shoot. She recalled to MTV News: "I was confused, like, 'Wait, Shia's not a dancer, is he?' And everyone was like, 'No.' But he actually did really well, he did. He wasn't a bad dancer at all. For him, it was mainly fighting, and acting, and running around. And screaming."

Sia would hide her face during performances of this song (and also "Chandelier"), as she was determined to deter the intrusions on fame and shield herself from the judgment of the Internet. One of her more intriguing performances of the song was on the Ellen show, where she sang it with her head protruding from a white box, her eyes covered with the wig. The visual component was handled by Maddie Ziegler, who did an interpretive dance from the box with several girls in similar boxes behind her.

Sia brought out Maddie Ziegler to help her perform the song during her appearance on Saturday Night Live. Whilst the Aussie songstress faced stage right, her face covered in a veil from the nose up, Ziegler re-enacted her video dance with Denna Thomsen, who was standing in for Shia LeBoeuf. Sia also sang "Chandelier" on the show alongside a sad-looking mime.

Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song) Lyrics

Drawing hearts on the foggy glass
New love chase away my past
Nothing but the open road
Saddle up, here we go
1, 2, 3

First winder here in your arms
Flames rising as well fall like stars
Making angels in the snow
Warm, fuzzies, frozen toes
Is this a dream?

Don't Wake me up
If this is love
Please let me be
Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
I became we
Don't wake me please
From this winter dream
Winter dream
Winter dream

Build a fire to escape the cold
Bing Crosby on the stereo
Tracing letters on my skin
Slowly starts sinkin' in
You love me

Oh, Don't Wake me up
If this is love
Please let me be
Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
I became we
Don't wake me please
From this winter

Dream and dreams
While I'm wide awake
The tree, the lights
Stayin' up late
It's true
I'm in love with you (Oh)

Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
I became we
Don't wake me please
From this winter dream, dream
Winter dream
