Dime Store Rock Lyrics


Dime Store Rock
  • Three former Guns N' Roses members appear on this track and helped write it. In addition to Slash, drummer Matt Sorum and guitarist Gilby Clarke appear on this track and helped write it. All three were members of Guns N' Roses, although Clarke had been ejected from G 'N' R by the time the album was released. According to Clarke, the song was conceived at a time when the three were writing songs for what they thought would be the next Guns N' Roses album, but when that didn't materialize, they used some of this material for the Slash's Snakepit project.

    In our interview with Gilby Clarke , he explained: "I was getting riffs ready for another Guns N' Roses record; just compiling riffs. I played Slash the main riff of 'Dime Store Rock' and he liked it, so we collaborated - that was Matt and Eric Dover on that track. So it was just a matter of hearing a cool riff that we got together and saying, 'Hey, this is what I'm going to play, what do you want to add to it?' And that's how that kind of progressed into the song that it came to be."

    Eric Dover was the lead singer in Slash's Snakepit, and is also credited as a co-writer. The other co-writer was Mike Inez, who was the group's bass player.

    Serve The Ego Lyrics


    Mirror, mirror
    Do you like
    What you see?
    I'll dance for you
    If you dance for me
    Who says a woman
    Cannot serve?
    It would be my pleasure
    Who says it is
    Not my destiny
    To let you control me?
    Underneath the disco light
    Everybody's feelin' all right
    Get on your hands and knees
    And praise the new deity
    Serve The Ego
    Serve the ego

    Two ships sailing
    On a neon sea
    Eat the flesh
    Spit out the seeds
    Feathered hair
    And lame heels
    What turns me on
    Is so surreal

    Underneath the disco light
    Everybody's feelin' all right
    Get on your hands and knees
    And praise the new deity
    Serve the ego
    Serve the ego

    Tut tut, oh, to discover oh
    Oh no, you're yesterday's lover

    Underneath the disco light
    Everybody's feelin' all right
    Get on your hands and knees
    And praise the new deity
    Serve the ego
    Serve the ego

    Serve The Ego
  • Jewel wrote this with songwriters Cesar Lemos and Itaal Shur. Says Shur: "That resulted from a Warner-Chappel writers camp. She was there, and we started writing some songs together and a lot of cool stuff came out. We sat in a room with a couple of instruments and started to jam. I think that song came from a loop on the Triton. We put that loop on and started playing some quasi-Indian stuff and then the next thing you know, we've got a little bit of groove. One of us comes up with the melody and she says, 'Oh, I've got a good lyric for that.'" (Thanks to Itaal for speaking with us about this song. For more, check out itaalshur.com )
  • This peaked at #1 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

    Tijuana Jail Lyrics


    Welcome to salvation,
    My tequila's my companion for this evening of oblivion
    Everyone around me, kinda bores me,
    It makes me lonely with the friends I never had
    Packing up my Mustang 'cause this city has no heart,
    It sucks you in and spits you out
    Patiently I'm seeking my destination is unknown,
    I followed the road down to Mexico

    Sorry Mr.Officer I think you got it wrong,
    I'm just a lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home
    He smiled and said "Senor you're not in Texas anymore"
    Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Tijuana Jail

    Staring at the ceiling of my jail cell it's my home,
    At least for now, it seems like forever
    Sleeping on the floor with the rats, crawling up my ass,
    I'm gonna kill that officer

    Sorry Mr. Officer but I'm gonna get revenge,
    On this side of the border twenty pesos gets you dead

    He smiled and said "Senor I think I'll drink to your threats"
    Send my love to my home, but sent my mail to a Tijuana Jail

    In my destitution suicides a solution,
    But I'm a gambler, and I'm not cashed in
    The sun is going down and my problems will be solved by dawn, but not by justice
    I smelled liquor on his breath, I knew this is my last chance,
    I begged give a dying man his last drink
    He handed me a glass with just the worm and he laughed
    I pulled a switchblade from my boot and shoved it in his throat

    Sorry Mr. Officer I think you got it wrong,
    I'm a lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home

    He smiled and said "Senor you're not in Texas anymore"
    Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Texas Jail.

    Tijuana Jail
  • A track from Gilby Clarke's first solo album, this song is one he wrote before joining Guns N' Roses in 1991. The song is based on a real experience: he had a band called Kill for Thrills, and they decided to have a little fun across the border. "That song was about a time when a bunch of us went down to Mexico for a party week, and it got a little bit too drunk," Gilby told us . "We actually got thrown in jail."

    At the end of the song, Gilby sings about stabbing the police officer in the neck with a switchblade. This part was embellished for the sake of art, but there were some strange things afoot. "It was a surreal experience down there," Gilby said. "We didn't know what was going to happen when we went down there - we were just doing what everybody does when they go down to Tijuana, just getting drunk. I don't even remember a single thing that we did to get thrown in jail, but we did."
  • The lyric "Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Tijuana Jail" was inspired by a baseball call. Gilby was watching a gave when the announcer called a home run by saying, "Send my mail to the Tijuana jail!"
  • Along with "Cure Me Or Kill Me," this was one of two tracks that featured Gilby's G n' R mate Slash on guitar. When the band split up in the mid-'90s, members helped each other out on various projects; Gilby was part of the first Slash's Snakepit album in 1995.

    Smooth Lyrics


    Man, it's a hot one
    Like seven inches from the midday sun
    Well, I hear you whispering in the words, to melt everyone
    But you stay so cool
    My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem, Mona Lisa
    You're my reason for reason
    The step in my groove

    And if you said this life ain't good enough
    I would give my world to lift you up
    I could change my life to better suit your mood
    Because you're so Smooth

    [Chorus]
    And it's just like the ocean under the moon
    Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
    You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
    Give me your heart, make it real or else forget about it

    But I'll tell you one thing
    If you would leave it would be a crying shame
    In every breath and every word
    I hear your name calling me out
    Out from the barrio
    You hear my rhythm on your radio
    You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow
    It's turning you round and round

    And if you said this life ain't good enough
    I would give my world to lift you up
    I could change my life to better suit your mood
    Because you're so smooth

    [Chorus: x2]

    Or else forget about it
    Or else forget about it
    Let's not forget about it
    Give me your heart, make it real
    Let's not forget about it
    Let's not forget about it
    Let's not forget about it
    Let's not forget about it
    Let's not forget about it

    Smooth
  • Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty wrote this with Itaal Shur, a songwriter and producer who has worked with Jewel, Robi Rosa and Maxwell (co-writing his first hit, "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)." Shur said in a Songfacts interview: "I was already active in the music business. I had some hit records with Maxwell and I was already touring the world with Groove Collective, so people knew me more in the underground scene, but I wasn't as big as Rob Thomas, of course. My manager at the time told me that Pete Ganbarg, who was working at the time at Arista, he was looking for music for the new Santana record. At the time, I had my own band and was performing a lot around the city. I jumped at it because I grew up with an older brother who hipped me up to Classic Rock and I always loved Santana.

    I went up to the office and I wanted to hear what they had first to see what kind of direction they were going for, and when I went up there I heard the Wyclef track, I heard the Dave Matthews track, I heard a couple of other tracks, and I realized there wasn't the kind of track that was, in my opinion, a standard Santana groove like Black Magic Woman, Oye Como Va, Evil Ways. So I went home and wrote this track on guitar with all the arrangements called Room One Seven. It was about this couple that meet after a long time and have a little tryst in the hotel room.

    I brought it to Arista and they loved the instrumental and they liked parts of the melodies, but they didn't like the lyrics - they thought it was a little too sexual for Santana - so they asked me if I wanted to work with Rob Thomas. I didn't know him; I'd heard a little bit about Matchbox Twenty. He happened to live at the time in Soho very close to me. He came over and he had already written the verses to the instrumental that Arista gave him. I had a chorus that had the same melody: 'Room One Seven on the seventeenth floor. Take the elevator and I'll meet you at the door.' He didn't have a chorus, so before he came, I changed the words around to, 'Give me the ocean, give me the moon, give me something hot to make my body move,' and this turned into the chorus that we all know."
  • Thomas sang lead on this, but when he was writing it he thought they were going to use someone else. He and Shur would try to figure out who they would get to sing it, but then Arista contacted Thomas and asked him to do it.
  • Many of the lyrics are Thomas' ode to his wife, who is Puerto Rican ("My Mu Equita" translates to "My Little Doll" in Spanish). She ended up in the video.
  • The song's co-writer Itaal Shur told us: "The guitar solo from my demo, Santana copied that solo, which was a huge compliment and all the breaks were also on my demo. It was really weird, my demo was kind of like a template for the live band to play. They sped up the song two beats: it was like at 1/13 and went to 1/15 and it went from A Flat Minor to A Minor. They played it as a band and recorded it all live, pretty much. Me and Rob, when we were writing the song, the verses were fine, but we went through about 4 or 5 changes with the record company; from like, 'Give me the ocean, give me the moon,' 'You're just like the ocean...' Pete Ganbarg, who if it wasn't for him this song wouldn't have come together because he put me and Rob together, he said some really good comments about the lyrics - he was an English major and really picky about lyrics. It was a really good collaboration."
  • This won Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year and Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals at the 2000 Grammys. Supernatural also won for Best Rock Album and Album Of The Year.
  • Clive Davis is a legendary record executive who was the mastermind behind this album. Santana had not had a hit since "Hold On" in 1982, so Davis teamed him up with contemporary musicians like Wyclef Jean, Everlast and Lauryn Hill to make sure the younger generation took notice. The result was a wildly successful album that went over well with Santana's old fans and created a legion of new ones. This was the first single, and it spent 12 weeks at #1 in the US.
  • Santana has the distinction of waiting the longest between his first charting single and first #1 hit. In 1969, "Tango" hit #56 in the US, and 30 years later this was #1.
  • The trend of aging rockers calling in hot young artists to give them contemporary appeal became known in the music press as "The Carlos Santana Effect," thanks to his Supernatural success.

    Gotcha Lyrics


    Gotcha
  • No, this is not a frivolous song; it remains to be seen if it can be called a song at all, but it has a very serious point. On April 2, 1982, the Argentine Junta invaded the Falkland Islands, the most far flung outpost of a once mighty British Empire. Although General Galtieri was clearly in the wrong, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher decided to resort to gunboat diplomacy, and sent a task force to the South Atlantic.

    On May 2, the Argentine ship General Belgrano was sunk by a British torpedo attack; some two hundred and seventy-five personnel were lost. On May 4, the front page headline in the Sun newspaper was GOTCHA, something most people considered far more obscene than any amount of "effing and blinding" any Punk band could have put on any record.

In terms of purely personal significance, you cannot get any deeper than that. It is definitely a sad, but uplifting song."

    Take The Time Lyrics


    (Hold it now)
    (Wait a minute)
    (Come on! whew)
    Just let me catch my breath
    I've heard the promises
    I've seen the mistakes
    I've had my fair share of tough breaks
    I need a new voice, a new law, a new way
    Take The Time, reevaluate
    It's time to pick up the pieces
    Go back to square one
    I think it's time for a change

    There is something that I feel
    To be something that is real
    I feel the heat within my mind
    And craft new changes with my eyes
    Giving freely wandering promises
    A place with decisions I'll fashion
    I won't waste another breath

    You can feel the waves coming on
    (It's time to take the time)
    Let them destroy you or carry you on
    (It's time to take the time)
    You're fighting the weight of the world
    But no one can save you this time
    Close your eyes
    You can find all you need in your mind

    The unbroken spirit obscured and disquiet
    Finds clearness this trial demands
    And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief
    For the fortune lies still in his hands
    If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year
    A man must learn to cope
    If his obsession's real
    Suppression that he feels must turn to hope

    Life is no more assuring than love
    (It's time to take the time)
    There are no answers from voices above
    (It's time to take the time)
    You're fighting the weight of the world
    And no one can save you this time
    Close your eyes
    You can find all you need in your mind

    I close my eyes
    And feel the water rise around me
    Drown the beat of time
    Let my senses fall away
    I can see much clearer now I'm blind

    (Ora che ho perso la vista)
    (Ci vedo di piu)

    You can feel the waves coming on
    (It's time to take the time)
    Let them destroy you or carry you on
    (It's time to take the time)
    You're fighting the weight of the world
    But no one can save you this time
    Close your eyes
    You can find all you need in your mind

    Find all you need in your mind
    If you take the time
    Find all you need in your mind
    If you take the time

    Take The Time
  • Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy said of this song: "We decided to write a song about everything we'd been going through for the past 3 years - looking for a new singer, a new label and new management - just all the changes we made and all the frustrations we went through, but have it coming from each of our 4 different perspectives. So, we broke it up, and said, 'Okay, you take the first verse, you take the second verse,' went away, wrote lyrics about our feelings about all the stuff we were going through, and then put it together. Then we wrote the chorus together. That was the first time we had ever done that, and it's the only song on the album where the lyrics were actually written by everybody."

    So Close Lyrics


    They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym,
    He fell like a rock, she kinda liked him.
    And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor,
    When the music was over, she slipped out of his arms, and out the door.

    Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand,
    Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand.
    Or she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall.
    Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall.

    So Close, yet so far away.
    So close, yet so far away.
    We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today.
    We're so close, so close, yet so far away.

    Some people think, if you really believe,
    That's what you need to solve all the mysteries.
    Yea I know someone, who just heads for the sun,
    She says "I don't want to be wise, I just want to stay young".

    So close, yet so far away.
    So close, yet so far away.
    We believe in tomorrow, though we're stuck in today.
    Baby we're so close, so close, yet so far away.

    There's a restless look in your eye tonight.
    There's a secret hurt in my heart.
    And the dream that pulls us together girl,
    Is a dream, that's gonna tear us, tear us apart.

    There's a restless look in your eye tonight,
    Oh, are you lookin' for some way out of here.
    We gotta fight to keep it together girl,
    For the dream, that keeps us,

    So close, yet so far away.
    So close, yet so far away.
    Who would of thought girl that we'll end up this way.
    Getting' so close, so close,
    So far away.

    We're living in a dream world.
    Yet we're livin' today girl.
    Just you and me baby.
    Gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try.

    So Close
  • The biggest Hall & Oates hit of the '90s, this song explores the vagaries of love: how we can be so close to the perfect union, but overcome with longing when it just isn't right.
  • Daryl Hall wrote the original version of this song with George Green, who was the co-writer on some of John Mellencamp's hits, including "Hurts So Good" and "Rain On The Scarecrow." Hall & Oates recorded an acoustic version of the song that ended up being used as the B-side of the single (listed as "So Close (Unplugged)"), but their record company thought the song had more hit potential with full instrumentation, and called in Danny Kortchmar to produce it, who brought along some high-profile help: Jon Bon Jovi.

    Kortchmar, who played guitar on some of the biggest albums of the '70s (Jackson Browne's Running On Empty, Carole King's Tapestry), had moved into production work and recently finished co-producing Jon's Blaze of Glory album when he got the call to work on "So Close."

    "We were just having a ball in the studio," Kortchmar said of the Blaze of Glory sessions. "So when I got the call to produce this single, I said, 'Jonny, what do you say, let's do this.' So he said, 'Sure, man. Great. I love Hall & Oates. Let's keep going.'"

    Kortchmar and Bon Jovi burnished the song into a hit and made a few changes to its structure. Always an astute businessman, Jon asked for composer credits on the song for him and Kortchmar, which were granted. The hit version of the song is thus credited to Hall/Green/Kortchmar/Bon Jovi.

  • This song is about Rufus' mother, Kate McGarrigle. According to Wainwright, they commonly make songs that are about each other, and this was in response to McGarrigle's "First Born" (A song about Rufus). Some lines that refer to her: "I never had your black hair, and hazel eyes," "I had no radio shows nor did I have homemade clothes, homemade curtains of the same material." The song ends very happily when Rufus decides "I may not be so manly, but still I know you love me, even if I don't have your beauty mark."

    Wheels on Fire Lyrics


    Wheels on Fire
  • Truly is a Seattle band whose Post-Grunge sound fell out of favor in the industry, leaving them orphaned by their label, Capitol Records. Their 1995 album Fast Stories... From Kid Coma won them many fans, but the band never hit it big. "Wheels On Fire" is their first release since 2000. Their lead singer Robert Roth tells us that in terms of meaning, it's sort of a follow-up to a song from Fast Stories called "Blue Flame Ford." Here is Robert's account:

    During recording Fast Stories... we took a month off and I drove down the coast highway to get away for a little vision quest, to write lyrics, listen to rehearsal tapes, and just have an experience while driving down the 101. I was trying to escape a little and "get lost... be free" the good old fashioned Kerouac-Kesey way.

    An hour or two north of San Francisco, a huge deer steps out in front of me and I slam on the brakes and swerve, but no dice, I hit this monstrous thing. In a mild state of shock, I see silhouettes of a group of kids gathering around the deer. As I got out of the car and walked closer I could hear that they were speaking Spanish. One of them looks up and says, "You killed it... and it was pregnant." I found myself stuttering trying to think what to do... this was before cell phones. "Do you have a phone I can use?" and the same kid says, "It's OK Mr... we're going to eat it." As I am walking back to my car I see the kids dragging the deer back to their house. I was completely freaked out. My car upon inspection had no damage whatsoever, just a little blood and one single hair stuck to the grill.

    So my idea of being "On the Road" and "freedom on wheels" completely inverted on me and suddenly I realized that I wasn't getting away from anything, I was the thing to get away from! I was an extension of society and the very thing I was trying to escape and rebel against. The lyrics describe the incident, but I also reference Henry Ford and his ideas about enslaving workers and chaining them to their stations.

    Lyrically "Wheels on Fire" is another reflection on a similar theme with questions about cars and freedom in mind. That type of freedom paradoxical and is ultimately somewhat false. It's an illusion that we've all bought into, similar to the cell phone now. It's really great to have this thing with you that has all this computing power, but without the grid our cell phones are useless. So maybe it's not these things that make us free? It's ultimately a leash. Maybe we don't really want to be 100% free anyway... deep down maybe we really do want to be part of the collective? How do we maintain a healthy balance between our autonomy and being completely isolated or "every man for himself" versus being part of the machinery? So, it's a ball and chain that we're all willing to wear, myself included. "Wheels on Fire" is about the automobile, fuel, war and the unravelling of the way we look at all of these things and how it's playing out lately. Look at climate change, look at Detroit! That's a big part of where we are now in 2013.
  • The band is comprised of Roth on vocals and guitar, Hiro Yamamoto on bass and Mark Pickerel on drums. Robert explains how they came up with the track:

    Musically, I had the verses, riff and melody and the full chorus. When I brought it in to Mark, Hiro and Ty [keyboard player Ty Bailie] it fell together very quickly thanks to this amazing rhythm that Mark came up with on the toms and snare. Mark thought it needed something else musically, like a bridge or something. It was a true classic songwriting collaboration. He hummed this melody that was completely different than the rest of the song and I started playing chords underneath. I flushed out the lyrics later, but I love how that part of the song turned out. "Holly doesn't know, it's not that she's slow, she's never left home, she's never been alone." She's a character from another song on the record called "Holly Grove" who is a spoiled rich girl who is named after the town she lives in. She represents that insufferably and proudly ignorant, closed-minded mentality that somehow always tries to position itself to stand directly in the way of any kind of possible progress we could be making. We're unable to solve any of our real problems or move forward even though the wind is in our hair and were getting that rush or feeling of movement.

    There's also a Dylan song called "This Wheel's On Fire." When my song, "Wheels On Fire," sort of presented itself to me I had come up with the chorus first, but knew that there was also this "other song" so some of the sentiment on the lyrics infused into the chorus is about that bohemian "On The Road" dream and where it has ended up. I believe it still holds some mystery, but it also feels like it could be in danger of becoming something like circling a huge strip-mall parking lot.

    I still go for a country drive with my family every week and I've been told recently by artist and former Big Chief bassist Mark Dancey, who is designing the cover for the "Wheels On Fire" 7" (that's being released before the end of the year), that Henry Ford thought one of the greatest things about the car was that it would bring people to nature, and for better or worse it certainly has. So, like all things in life and art it's also about the built-in contradictions about these things we intertwine our lives with.

    Not The Same Lyrics


    You took a trip and climbed a tree
    At Robert Sledge's party
    And there you stayed 'till morning came
    And you were Not The Same after that

    You gave your life to Jesus Christ
    And after all your friends went home
    You came down, you looked around
    And you were not the same after that

    You were not the same after that
    You were not the same after that

    You see 'em drop like flies from the bright sunny skies
    They come knocking at your door with this look in their eyes
    You've got one good trick and you're hanging on you're hanging on...
    To it

    You took the word and made it heard
    And eased the people's pain and for that
    You were idolized, immortalized
    And you were not the same after that

    Walking tall, you'd bought it all
    And you were not the same after that
    Till someone died on the water slide
    And you were not the same after that

    You see 'em drop like flies from the bright sunny skies
    They come knocking at your door with this look in their eyes
    You've got one good trick and you're hanging on you're hanging on to it

    (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
    (You were not the same!)
    (ooh ooh ooh ooh)

    You see 'em drop like flies from the bright sunny skies
    They come knocking at your door with this look in their eyes
    You've got one good trick and you're hanging on
    you're hanging on:

    You're hanging on
    You're hanging on

    Not The Same
  • This song is about a guy who trips on acid at a party, climbs into a tree and in the morning comes down as a born again Christian. It's based on a true story.
