Sugarcane Lyrics

So so sleeping on the ground tonight
I couldn't breathe so I had two of these
Sugarcane bounce the same when it touches the heat, when it touches the heat

Hurricane always came when the season?s complete
I was late, why?d you step back? You were already there
You could take from the lead but you don't even care

I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades
I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades

The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?
The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?

[Chorus]
Beware, beware
Beware, beware
Beware, beware
Beware?

Knock, knock, getting on your knees tonight
Kicking the boys, you want me back
But the dead was alive when I go to the beach
How could I leave? How could I leave?

Hurricane always came when the season?s complete
Yellow hair over there, now I?ve got to compete
With a bang on the hand and there's something in the air

I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades
I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades

The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?
The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?

[Chorus: x2]
Beware, beware
Beware, beware
Beware, beware
Beware, beware

Sugarcane

Guitarist Derek Miller told NME this is a personal song. He explained: "The first lyric is, 'So so sleeping on the ground tonight. I couldn't breath so I had to move east,' I was born in Pahokee, Florida which is in south Florida in the middle of the state. And I was raised in Belglade where my dad was a sugarcane farmer. You have to burn the fields as part of the harvest, to shuck the cane. And it literally rains ashes from the sky. It sounds like a very nice, apocalyptic image. It's not poetic, it's insane. It's crazy, it's surreal. And I remember that at the age of four, and I had terrible asthma so I couldn't breath. That's why we ended up moving east to Jupiter, to the Ocean. The doctor said, 'this kid needs clean air' and I've since grown out of it. It's a really personal song."

Give It Away Lyrics

I never return to love somebody
Now all that I need is all I see in you
And only you
And if you get lost I'll always find you
You're all that I need your heart will keep you true
My only you

You make me fall and I can't sleep
You want it all but it's too deep
And I can't Give It Away
I just can't give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Just give it away
Just give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Just give it away
Just give it away

Don't ever forget to tell somebody
The feelings inside
To make your dreams come true
I dream of you

To feel so alive and want somebody
It's not make believe
My world would be for you
And only you

You make me fall and I can't sleep
You want it all but it's too deep
And I can't give it away
I just can't give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Breathe in and give it away
Breathe out and give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Breathe in and give it away
Breathe out and give it away

Sing Like a Wire Lyrics

Static in the sentence, static in the dirt
Something like a hunter, shaking, I go wild
Burn your body, I can see your burning fire
I sing everything

[Chorus]
Sing Like a Wire
Sing like a wire

Sit for a while, you can sit beside the fire
Dreamed I was a hunter with a never ending thirst
By the middle of July you were buried in the dirt
Looking in the dark, saying your goodbyes
Looking in the dark, saying your goodbyes
We sing everything

[Chorus]
Sing like a wire
Sing like a wire

Blaze it down in the mix
Let me hear all the kicks
Blaze it down in the mix
Let me hear all the kicks
Blaze it down in the mix

Sing Like a Wire

Guitarist Derek Miller originally came up with this song in 2005, and it was one of the first things Alexis Krauss sang when they formed Sleigh Bells in 2008. Miller told NME: "I didn't know what to do with it from a production standpoint. I tried it on Treats but it was too macho and meaty and big-sounding. IT was too muscular. So I had to thin it out. That was sort of the opposite approach, to sort of thin it out which is why the verses are really tiny sounding."

The song starts off with a nod to Michael Jackson's legendary producer, Quincy Jones. "Quincy Jones, his autobiography definitely changed my life," Miller told NME. "If you listen to those horn stabs in the intro, it's the beginning of 'Bad.' It was sort of done as a joke? But besides that I just think it sounds bad ass. The tempo as well it's like, 108 bpm."

I Know You Well Lyrics

This morning under awaking glow
The sun filled our room like December snow
Like morning through an old window
There's a place in your head I will always know

To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause
I Know You Well
Like the soil in the ground

Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
You and me grow old
I hope we'll live to tell

How you know I know you knew I know you well
Down under, beneath the softened skin
Where the words we whisper sink in
It's no wonder the way the words still ring

Sure as sin, it's not a secret thing
To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause
I know you well

Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
You and me grow old

I hope we'll live to tell
How you know I know you knew I know new york 1991
Here in the same room for so long
Out of the cold November

Still as a passport picture
Still as a passport picture
To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause

I know you well
Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll

You and me grow old
I hope we'll live to tell
How you know I know you knew I know you well

I Know You Well

Chris Collingwood: "I originally wrote this song for my brother's wedding, but the words got fictionalized at some point. For me, part of writing something successful has always been blending the personal with the made-up. It's dangerous territory, as some people recognize chunks of actual history and think we're being literal."

Tiger Kit Lyrics

I was cursing your name, I've been dealt in your dream
I was thinking in symmetry
Tiger found you there 'cause I kept you there
Seeing double, believe me
Take you down low if you put on that ring
And the centers are racists but they do you no favors
Look up in the scene, you're a delicate thing

[Chorus]
You're gonna jump from there to Detroit
In front of all of these people
Oh, how sorry life is
Like a Hollywood sequel
You think you'll land on your feet
But you'll die in the streets
Look away, look away,
Oh, just go back to sleep

We were in the kitchen and the neighbors couldn't see
Thanks for the memories and all the memories
When it's dead in the water, let's throw the dice
Thanks for the memories and all the memories
Never trust a tiger can't be tamed
Feeling under the weather, can you keep it together'
So your sister's Beretta 'cause you're light as a feather

[Chorus]
You're gonna jump from there to Detroit
In front of all of these people
Oh, how sorry life is
Like a Hollywood sequel
You think you'll land on your feet
But you'll die in the streets
Look away, look away,
Oh, just go back to sleep

Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
So make like a banana and split

Tiger Kit

Multi-instrumentalist Derek Miller admitted to NME that he never really got the guitar sound that he was looking for on this song. "It will always drive me crazy," he said. "I will always hear that song and know what it could sound like, which is a problem. It has the closest thing we have to a solo on a Sleigh Bells record, I guess. It kind of rips off Jimmy Page."

However, Miller does love vocalist Alexis Krauss' Rhythm Nation reference on the second verse when she sings, "Never trust a tiger that can't be tamed." He told NME: "I think we were both really into Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. We're both huge Janet Jackson fans. I think you killed it, you have a lot of attitude."

California Sex Lawyer

Adam Schlesinger said of this track: "Our attorney Josh Grier works at a big fancy law firm with a big fancy waiting room. One day we were sitting there waiting and there was a magazine called California Lawyer on the coffee table facing us. Chris (Collingwood) said, apropos of nothing, "California sex lawyer." Perhaps it was only because we were sitting in a quiet office, but at the time it seemed like the funniest thing in the world. Why it needed to be turned into a song, I'm still not sure."

To Hell With You Lyrics

Sit, just stop fucking around
Throwing shade on the ground
I stick around to tone it down
Hey, shut lips

These days they might age you
With no one to age you
These days they might age you
With no one to see you

You don't live, don't lie
Just be ok
Hey, don't take it out on me
If you can't see
You know that it's the truth
Only you, don't take it back on me
The way I see
I?ll go To Hell With You
Here's the proof

True, it was a test
Why did you lie? I thought I?d die
Highest highs and lowest lows
Everybody knows
Love, it costs
There's always someone somewhere who cares, hey there
There's always someone somewhere who cares, hey there
There's always someone somewhere who cares, hey there
There's always someone somewhere who cares, hey there

Don't live, don't lie
Just be ok
Hey, don't take it out on me
If you can't see
You know that it's the truth
Only you, don't take it back on me
The way I see
I?ll go to hell with you
Here's the proof

(x2)
Yes, yes, yes
The sound of this is good so
Yes, yes, yes
You know I'm good at this love

These days they might age you
With no one to age you
These days they might age you
With no one to see you

Don't live, don't lie
Just be ok
Hey, don't take it out on me

Only you, don't take it back on me

I?ll go to hell with you

Wicked Garden

This song about innocence lost could be seen as a general sentiment, but it could also relate to drug use, describing the temptations, along with the highs and lows, that come from drug abuse.

A band composition, lead singer Scott Weiland came up with the idea for this song before the band got a record deal. At the time, they were known as Mighty Joe Young, and they still had day jobs: Weiland worked for a modeling agency as a driver.

Love Sick Lyrics

When I heard you're still alright
I must admit, I laughed , I cried
I found a stranger too about
I tell the truth, oh leave me down
I've lived my only tale or die
I cut my thing so short on sight
But dear, love is a contact sport
Doing bunny hops and I'll never stop

[Chorus]
If you' Could you' Would you'
Just because you can doesn't mean you should
Is that understood' Oh oh
If you' Could you' Would you'
Just because you can doesn't mean you should
Is that understood'

Terminate a lex and let's jump in the next
Runnin' down the street, always chasing boys there
Love sucked, love sucked
He gave up up up up
Just nowhere to go, I was feeling just fine
Now I'm running along 'cause you cut me in live
Love sucked, love sucked
He gave up up up up

[Chorus]
If you' Could you' Would you'
Just because you can doesn't mean you should
Is that understood' Oh oh
If you' Could you' Would you'
Just because you can doesn't mean you should
Is that understood'

The pleasure of your company
Look what it's done to me
The pleasure of your company
Look what it's done to me

There's a heart in my chest
Where a hope used to be
There's a hope in my chest
Where a heart used to be

I'm sending gummy bears to the electric chair

Love Sick

This was the last song Sleigh Bells recorded for Bitter Rivals. Guitarist Derek Miller told NME: "By the end there's just this mess of emotion and ideas. Not disaster, but the lyric just flips last second at the end. 'There's a heart in my chest where a hole used to be. There's a hole in my chest where a heart used to...be' And then it's like 'I'm sending gummy bears to the electric chair,' which is so ridiculous, it's gotta be the most ridiculous lyric ever written and I love it. I love it. I remember we were like, 'Can we do this? Can you sing this? Can you sing this and get away with this?' You know, the jury's out. But for me, I was like 'cool, the record's done.' You know what I mean with that? You know, 'Bitter Rivals' and then of course 'Minnie' and 'Sing Like a Wire' and then you know it starts to shift on 'Young Legends' but then I feel like, yeah it just turns into something very different by the second half."

"It was an inspired moment," continued Miller, "it happened very quickly. That song has immediacy and sounds very inspired to me. And that's where we were at. We were at the end of the record, and you're supposed to be tapped out. But we're still on our toes, and I was like my first thought was like 'How am I going to get through a year without making another record.' But that was a good feeling, we just finished and I'm already dying. That song, it was like, it feels like we can go anywhere from here. I feel like we can go anywhere from here."

Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?

Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?

Why don't you ask him what's going on?
Why don't you ask him who's the latest on his throne?
Don't say that you love me!

Tusk

The "Tusk" is slang for penis, so the song is basically about sex. When Stevie Nicks heard the album was going to be called Tusk, she objected, but Mick Fleetwood really wanted to use the title, so he ignored her and she dropped the subject.

Stevie Nicks recalled to Mojo in 2015: "I didn't understand the title, there was nothing beautiful or elegant about the word 'tusk.' It really bought to mind those people stealing ivory. Even then, in 1979 you just thought, the rhinos are being poached and that tusks are being stolen and the elephants are being slaughtered and ivory is being sold on the black market. I don't recall it being (Mick's slang term for the male member), that went right over my prudish little head. I wasn't told that until quite a while after the record was done, and when I did find out I liked the title even less!"

The music was based on a riff the band used to play when they were introduced at concerts as the lights came up and they were introduced to the audience. When it came time to record the Tusk album, they decided to use it for a song.

The University of Southern California marching band played on this track. Mick Fleetwood decided to use a big brass sound after a visit to Europe in 1978 where he saw brass bands marching down the street.

Speaking with Johnny Black in 1995, Mick Fleetwood explained how it happened: "In soundchecks we used to jam on that riff, and I did the riff in drum form. When it came time to make the album, we pulled that riff out, screwed around with it, put it in the dustbin, and then a year into making that album, I pulled it out again and took it with me as a rough track to Normandy and came up with the idea of using the brass band on it, and using about 100 drummers on it, which we did.

That really worked. It's a glorious noise, and it's something I'm proud of because it's all drums. There's really no lyrics to it.

So I resurrected that, much to everyone's amazement, and I insisted on recording the USC marching band at Dodger Stadium. By this time they'd thought for sure I'm round the twist, and I said, 'Well, I'm going to pay for it. And we're going to film it.' They thought, 'For sure, he's blown it. He's way off the deep end.'"

The USC Trojan Marching Band was recorded at Dodger Stadium on June 4, 1979 while the Los Angeles Dodgers were on a road trip. This was a few weeks after graduation, so while some band members didn't show, most did, since just about everyone had a copy of Rumours in their dorm room and was thrilled to play on a Fleetwood Mac track.

Rehearsals took place in late May, and the day of the recording, each band member signed a release and was paid a dollar. The whole scene was filmed, and the footage used to make the music video. Stevie Nicks is seen twirling, but not like her signature stage move - this time it was with a baton.

Lindsey Buckingham was keen on experimentation at the time, so he recorded some of his vocals for this song in his bathroom using a microphone he placed on the floor that was connected to his home studio. He
also did some percussion for the track on empty Kleenex boxes in his bathroom.

During the recording of the album, Mick Fleetwood got a large pair of replica elephant tusks that he set up on either side of the console, which became known as "Tusk." Whenever the console wasn't working, the band would say, "Tusk is down, Tusk isn't working!"

According to Stevie Nicks, the tusks gave them inspiration. "Those 13 months working in that room were our journey up the sacred mountain to the sacred African percussion place, were all the gods of music lived," she said.

The group's bass player John McVie had a falling out with Lindsey Buckingham and never made it to Dodger Stadium for the shoot, so he was replaced in the video with a cardboard cutout. When MTV launched in 1981, the song had already been out for two years, but the network played it anyway, as they didn't have many clips by popular rock bands.

In 1977, Fleetwood Mac released Rumours, which was one of the most successful albums ever released. Tusk was the follow-up, but the band (especially Lindsey Buckingham), decided to experiment instead of copying the sound of Rumours. The result was a 20-track double album with some very adventurous songs. The title track was the first single, and it did well, reaching #8 in the US. The next single was "Sara," which made #7.

Tusk ended up selling far fewer copies than Rumours, partly because the double disc was sold for a hefty $15.98 in America. It certainly didn't tarnish the band's legacy, as it showed that they were willing to take risks when they could have simply recycled Rumours.

"Tusk is probably my favorite and most important Fleetwood Mac album," Mick Fleetwood said. "Tusk meant this band's survival - if we hadn't made that album, we might have broken up."

On the Tusk tour, Fleetwood Mac played five shows in December 1979 at The Forum in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles. The USC Trojan Marching Band appeared with them at each of these shows, lifted from hydraulic risers behind the stage to join the band on this song.

Fittingly, this is a very popular song among marching bands, especially at USC where the song has been performed regularly since its inception. At home games, fans often chant "UCLA Sucks!" during the song, even if they are not playing UCLA.

Two other schools also claimed it: the University of Alabama and the University of Arkansas. The Arkansas mascot is a razorback (boar) known as "Tusk"; the University of Alabama's mascot is an elephant known as "Big Al," which is actually tuskless in anthropomorphic form, but the University of Alabama is in Tuscaloosa.

Love Take Me Over Lyrics

I hear the clock beep, pull me out of my sleep
Tell me there's a day ahead of me
Trying to wake up, sipping on a hot cup
With the little lady in green

And I'm praying 'bout the man I wanna be
Saying, God, please take all of me
And fill me up with Your love

Love, take these words that I'm speaking
Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking
Love, take me over
Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me over

This is what I'm sure of, I can only show love
When I really know how loved I am
When it overtakes me, then it animates me
Flowing from my heart into my hands

So I'm praying, Father, help my heart believe
That right now You're singing over me
And fill me up with Your love

Love, take these words that I'm speaking
Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking
Love, take me over
Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, come stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me over

(Take me over, take me over)
Let Your never-ending, never-failing, all-consuming love
Take over me

So I am praying, Father, help my heart believe
That right now You're singing over me
And fill me up with Your love

Love, take these words that I'm speaking
Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking
Love, take me over
Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take everything that I'm doing
Love, like a river, flow through me
Love, take me over

Love, fill up all of my space and
Love, stand right here in my place
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me, love, take me over
Love, take me over

Love Take Me Over

This sunny track encourages listeners to be intentionally aware of how much God loves them. "Even though it's in the guise of a very fun, up-tempo sing-along-at-the-top-of-your-lungs song, it's a message and a lesson that I have continued to be in the process of learning," Chapman said of the song. "I need to be filled with love so that I can be loving in the way I respond. I'm still learning that the only way I want to love others well in my life is when I come to terms daily, sometimes hourly, sometimes in 15 minute increments, with the fact that I am loved fully and completely, not as I should be, but as I am. That drives me, then, to a place of living a life of love for others when I realize that I am loved first. We love because He first loved us."

I'll Never Fall in Love Again Lyrics

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
Dontcha know that I'll never fall in love again?

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
No, no, I'll never fall in love again

Ahh, out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
Dontcha know that I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

I'll Never Fall in Love Again

Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote this for the Broadway musical Promises, Promises, Neil Simon's musical adaptation of Billy Wilder's screenplay The Apartment. Bacharach and David had added this song to the musical at the last minute at a time when Burt had the flu, which explains Hal David's little joke of rhyming "Pneumonia" with "Phone ya."

Though she did not appear in Promises, Promises, Warwick recorded the five songs for the musical and included three of them on her 1968 album Promises, Promises. This was not included on an album until Warwick's 1970 release I'll Never Fall In Love Again.

Because there was no time to write a full musical arrangement, the song was performed to a solitary guitar accompaniment, which was unusual for a Bacharach composition.

In the UK Bobby Gentry had the hit version, her cover topped the UK charts for a week in October 1969.

Burt Bacharach has said that he wrote this song faster than any other, since he was working on deadline. "Given the opportunity, I'll play with a song or an orchestration for as long as I can," he said.

Speaking with Record Collector magazine, Burt Bacharach said: "I had just gotten out of the hospital. I'd been on the road and gotten pneumonia. We were on the road with Promises, Promises and we'd try to get this song written and into the show the next night or two nights later. That's where Hal's line came from, 'what do you do when you kiss a girl, you get another germs to catch an ammonia, after you do she'll never phone ya.' So having been in the hospital for five days with pneumonia, I got out and struggled to write that song feeling not too great. You should take a rest after that and not go back into the Broadway show environment out on the road!"

This won the 1970 Grammy award for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance.

The Carpenters covered this song in 1970 on their second album, Close to You.
