Halloween Blues Lyrics

Halloween Blues

The Fratellis are a Glasgow 3-piece that have embraced traditional Rock music. This song from their album pays homage to the early years of Rock. "I can't pretend not to be obsessed with just the simplicity of all of that," says their frontman Jon Fratelli . "It just continually hits me - any time I play an old record, whether it's something from Sun or something similar it seems like it would have been nice to have been around in such simple times. And 'Halloween Blues' is just a nod to that."

All For You Sophia Lyrics

Bang, bang, Gavrilo Princip
Bang, bang, shoot me, Gavrilo
Bang, bang, the first six are for you
Bang, bang, the seventh is for me
Bang, bang, Gavrilo Princip
Bang, bang, Europe's going to weep

[Chorus:]
All for you, all for you, all for you, Sophia [Repeat: x4]

Bang, bang, history's complete
Bang, bang, shoot me, Gavrilo
Bang, bang, the first six are for you
Bang, bang, the seventh is for me
Bang, bang, Gavrilo Princip
Bang, bang, shoot me, Gavrilo

[Chorus]

The black hand holds the gun
The devil takes his run
Urban, take the Apple Quay
It's June, the twenty-eighth
The seventh was for me

Bang, bang, Gavrilo Princip
Bang, bang, shoot me, Gavrilo
Bang, bang, the first six are for you
Bang, bang, the seventh is for me
Bang, bang, Gavrilo Princip
Bang, bang, shoot me, Gavrilo

All For You Sophia

This song is a humorous reference to the band name: Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Serbian rebel group "The Black Hand" shot the archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, in Serajevo in 1914 ("bang bang, Gavril Princip, bang bang, shoot me Gravillo"). This incident is considered to be the trigger of the first world war ("Bang bang, Europe's going to weep").

This was released as the B-side to "Take Me Out".

IJSW

This is one of three new tracks included on Devotion: Vital Special Edition, a deluxe version of the band's 2012 Vital album. Frontman Stephen Christian told Billboard magazine that the tune didn't form in the same way as most other Anberlin cuts. "This song is as close to Jack Kerouac Anberlin will ever come," the singer said. "I just pushed play on the demo and just sang whatever came to mind. I sent it to the rest of the guys under the guise that I was 'sold on the melody lines but the lyrics were just free form' (hence the first line of the song 'I can't help but say what's on my mind'). [Guitarist] Christian [McAlhaney] and the guys emailed me immediately and said not to touch them... guess I should have been making stuff up our whole career."

Heartache Tonight Lyrics

Heartache Tonight

Don Henley and Glenn Frey wrote this with Bob Seger and J.D. Souther. When Frey was a 19-year-old in Detroit, Seger took him under his wing and got his music career started. Souther, who is sometimes considered an "Unofficial Eagle," was the first person Frey met when he moved to Los Angeles in the late-'60s. When we spoke with J.D. Souther, he told us how this song started: "Glenn Frey and I had been listening to Sam Cooke records at my house. So we were just walking around clapping our hands and snapping fingers and singing the verses to those songs. The melody sounds very much like those Sam Cooke shuffles. There's not much to it. I mean, it's really just two long verses. But it felt really good." (Here's the full J.D. Souther interview .)

Bob Seger's contribution to this song was the chorus. Souther told us what happened: "We didn't get to a chorus that we liked within the first few days, and I think Glenn was on the phone with Seger, and he said, 'I wanna run something by you,' and sang it to him, and Seger just came right in with the chorus, just sang it and it was so good. Glen called me and said, 'Is four writers okay on this?' And I said, 'Sure, if it's good.' And he said, 'Yeah, it's great. Seger just sang this to me,' and he sang it to me and I said, 'That's fantastic.'"

The Long Run was the Eagles' last studio album until they re-formed in 1994. There was a lot of tension in the band, and a lot of pressure to make the album perfect. As a result, they spent 3 1/2 years working on the album, which was the follow-up to Hotel California. Frey later explained to Rolling Stone that he learned from the experience: "All one need do was listen to early Stones records to realize that all this striving for perfection is totally unnecessary."

This won a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance By A Duo Or Group.

Artists to cover this song include Conway Twitty, Tom Jones (as "A Heartache Tonight"), John Anderson, and Michael Bublé, who did a big band version of the song in 2009.

Chicken Taquito

This was the first song that Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie ever wrote. He recalled to American Songwriter magazine: "I was 10 years old and I was really into System of a Down. And I wrote this song that sounded like System of a Down, but it was called 'Chicken Taquito.' No joke. I called it that. And literally, the words were just like, how much I love eating chicken taquitos. In a round about way. There was singing about mushrooms and green peppers and stuff too."

New Slang Lyrics

New Slang

This song is about one person telling another how perfect things would be if they had began a romantic relationship.

This is one of the most well known songs by The Shins, most likely because it was featured on the soundtrack to the 2004 movie Garden State, staring Zach Braff (Scrubs) and Natalie Portman (Star Wars Episodes I,II & III). The song "Caring Is Creepy" from the same album is also featured on the Garden State soundtrack.

This was used in a McDonald's commercial, which is ironic since it contains the lyrics, "When you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries" and "Godspeed all the bakers at dawn, may they cut all their thumbs and bleed into the buns till they melt away."

Let Me Go Lyrics

A room full of sadness
A broken heart
And only me to blame
For every single part
No Science or Religion
Could make this whole
To be loved, but never loved
To have, but never hold
It’s a life alone, and a desperate need
To be held to be loved so
This is gonna take a bit of getting used to,
But I know what’s right for you

Fly high and Let Me Go
That sky will save your soul
When you pass by then you’ll know
That this gonna take a bit of getting used to
But I know what’s right for you
Let me go

A head full of madness
And no where safe
When tears aren’t big enough,
And love turns into hate
It’s a life alone, and a desperate need
To be held to be loved so
This gonna take a bit of getting used to
But I know what’s right for you

Fly high and let me go
That sky will save your soul
When you pass by then you’ll know
That this gonna take a bit of getting used to
But I know what’s right for you

So let me go life will get better
Find the love I never gave ya
I know you lie there waiting all night long,
So find where you belong

Fly high and let me go (Let me go)
That sky will save your soul (Let it save your soul tonight)
Fly high and let me go (Let me go let me go)
That sky will save your soul
But this gonna take a bit of getting used to
But I know what’s right for you
Let me go

Let Me Go

In the documentary When Corden Met Barlow, Gary Barlow explained that this song is about his daughter Poppy, who was stillborn in 2012. "It keeps a life and a flame in the whole thing," he said. "It should be a celebration that song, because in some respects, it's alive that record and those lyrics and what it relates to."

The first single from Since I Saw You Last - Barlow's first full length solo album in 14 years - this acoustic guitar driven track was influenced by Johnny Cash. "I've always liked folky, acoustic music but I've never fully explored it. I turned back time and was listening to Johnny Cash and early Elton John before I wrote 'Let Me Go,'" Barlow told The Sun. "I'm 42, I don't want to do urban or dance music."

The video was directed by "Sing" collaborator Ben Winston in New York and sees Barlow wheeling a piano around the streets of the Big Apple.

The song featured in a Compare the Market commercial. It found Barlow performing the song alongside CGI meerkats on Coronation Street's famous cobbles. The ad was commissioned to mark the first anniversary of the company sponsoring the ITV soap.

Buried A Lie Lyrics

Rest in peace girl, your death is such a shame
The paper said a bullet got in your way
But I smell foulplay, possible poisoning
I had to bring her in for questioning
I went to your grave, dug up your body
Brought it to my house, where you lay

So lets play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
For me

I headed downtown, to share what I had found
It's not a suicide, it's a crime
I have a witness, it's clearly evident
There had to be someone else present
At the time of death, poisons in stomach
How could she pull it, if she's dead?

So lets play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
Before the flesh decays
Away, away

I'll catch the murderer
And send him away
I'll get the evidence
From your last day

Your last day

So lets play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
Before the flesh decays

Away, away

Buried A Lie

During a radio interview in 2006, lead singer Buddy Nielsen explained that he "just wanted to tell a story." The song is just that: A murder mystery. Buddy stated during the interview that he loves crime shows such as Law and Order and CSI, and that he wanted to write a song like that. Thus, "Buried a Lie" was born.

Nichols admitted to Billboard magazine that he knows this innuendo-filled track is unlikely to win any songwriting awards. "It's corny and goofy. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say ridiculous," he said. "I like songs like this because it is silly, but at the same time it feels good. It feels fun. Music is supposed to be a little lighter sometimes. 'Hee Haw' isn't going to win any Grammys for lyrical genius, but it will put you in a good mood and make you smile."

Cheating Lyrics

I saw you Sunday, Monday
Hanging with your man again
You came back on a Tuesday
With that cold-heart look of shame

Oh I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're Cheating, cheat on, yeah
'Cause cheating's just a thing you do
It's just a thing you do

I saw you Friday, Saturday
Tearing up another heart
You came home a' crying
Why'd you take it all so hard?

You know I love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you

Yeah, I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
'Cause cheating's just the thing you do
It's just a thing you do, yeah

Oh, I've been told you baby
Girl you done some things so bad to me
And I know

You are the one who's creeping,
You are the one who's cheating,
But if you're heart is beating,
Bring it on, bring it to me.

You are the one who's creeping,
You are the one who's cheating,
But if you're heart is beating,
Bring it on, bring it to me.

You are the one who's creeping
You are the one who's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me.

You are the one who's creeping
You are the one who's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me.

I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you, no.

I could love you better
Better than you once knew
And if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
'Cause cheating's just a thing you do, oh no no no

Cheating

This was released as the second single from John Newman's debut album, Tribute. The record was written at a tough time. Newman told The Sun: "It is a breakup album. I broke up with someone I loved and the music started coming. I didn't talk about things a lot with my friends or with her, the person I went through a hard time with. I put it in the music and that's the only way I talk about it."

Newman's debut solo single, "Love Me Again," found him playing the role of the heartbreaker, but on this song it is his heart that is the one that's broken.

Newman penned the song with Emily Phillips, who is signed to Sony/ATV as a songwriter. The British songsmith co-wrote four tracks on Rizzle Kicks debut album Stereo Typical including their single "Traveller's Chant." She also co-wrote "Worldwide" with Big Time Rush for the American boy band's B.T.R. record.

When he was growing up, other boys would deliberately make a play for girls that Newman was interested in to upset him. as a consequence he found himself getting paranoid that girlfriends were seeing other guys behind his back: The singer told The Observer that this song is about, "a girl in Leeds who I still don't know if she did cheat on me."

'Til Kingdom Come Lyrics

Steal my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I've never felt this way before

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come

Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you, I've waited all these years

For you I'd wait 'Til Kingdom Come
Until my day, my day is done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing
I wouldn't change a single thing

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I'll become

For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

'Til Kingdom Come

This song was intended for Johnny Cash. On Coldplay's "Twisted Logic" tour, Chris Martin explained that this song was written for a special event and was to be performed by Cash and Coldplay together. Unfortunately, Johnny Cash passed away before this event could be finalized.

This is a hidden track. It is represented on the X&Y package by a "+" sign on the back the case.

Chris Martin told Rolling Stone July 14, 2005 that both "A Message" and this song came from his religious upbringing. Said Martin: "'A Message' is taken from a hymn we used to sing called 'My Song Is Love Unknown,' and we'd say 'kingdom come' every week in the Lord's Prayer. One of the great things about being forced to go to church services is that we'd sing all these big songs. That's partly why I'm obsessed with getting everyone to sing along at our shows. It makes me feel like I'm a part of something."
