Wings Lyrics

Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
It made me think of you
It made me think of you

Under a trillion stars
We danced on top of cars
Took pictures of the stage
So far from where we are
They made me think of you
They made me think of you

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these Wings could fly
For the rest of our lives

I'm in a foreign state
My thoughts they slip away
My words are leaving me
They caught an aeroplane
Because I thought of you
Just from the thought of you

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

If these wings could fly

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

Wings

This stirring, propulsive tune was released as the lead single from Birdy's second album, Fire Within. The record finds the teenage singer-songwriter collaborating with some of the biggest names in the business, including on this song Ryan Tedder. The OneRepublic frontman has penned hits for the likes of Leona Lewis ("Bleeding Love") and Beyoncé ("Halo") as well as his own group. "When I first started writing with other people, I was terrified, because on one level, it's a deeply strange thing to do," Birdy admitted, "go into a room and share your ideas with someone you don't know. But I love it now, because it's interesting to hear someone else's take on what you've done, and to draw new inspiration from their ideas."

The song's Sophie Muller-directed video shows Birdy with guests at a flamboyant mansion party. It was shot in and around Pylewell House, which is located near Lymington in Hampshire, England. The clip also stars Birdy's best friend, her younger sister Caitlin, as well as a couple of cousins. "The song is about having a wonderful time and the memory of being with your friends and kind of wishing you were back there, so I wanted it to feel like a festival, and then the director had the idea of putting everyone in carnival clothes to make it a bit weirder and more interesting," she recalled to The Mail On Sunday's You Magazine. "We had a brilliant time making it, everyone just looked so amazing. My little sister Caitlin and two of my cousins are the ones riding the horses, and in the shots of me on the swing I am with my best friend Becky."

The song featured in the trailer for the movie Winter's Tale. Birdy described to Billboard magazine watching the preview and hearing her tune as, "so cool … to have it playing, and for all my friends to see it."

"Wings" was used in a commercial for Lloyds Bank, in which the financial institution celebrates its 250th anniversary. A new acoustic recording of the song as heard in the advert was released in July 2015, which became Birdy's first ever UK Top 10 hit single.

No More Heroes Lyrics

Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn

Whatever happened to dear old Lenny?
The great Elmyra, and Sancho Panza?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?

Whatever happened to all the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?

No More Heroes any more
No more heroes any more

Whatever happened to all the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?

No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more

No More Heroes

This was written by bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel and guitarist Hugh Cornwell, who wrote most of The Stranglers' material. Said Cornwell: "It was a John bass line and I wrote the lyric and melody."

The song mourns the loss of strong figures in culture and mentions people that Hugh Cornwell had great admiration for: communist leader Leon Trotsky, comedian Lenny Bruce, art forger Elmyr de Hory and Don Quixote side kick Sancho Panza.
And speaking of Lenny Bruce, music legend Al Kooper's memoir Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards tells of Bruce's influence on Kooper. Lenny Bruce's wife Honey and daughter Kitty stayed with Kooper briefly, causing Al Kooper to woolgather about the time at age 16, when he'd gone to Carnegie Hall at a midnight show to catch the legendary comedian. "The stately old hall was packed with jazz musicians, hookers, beatniks, and Manhattan-dwelling yuppies (the kind of white people who went to Harlem for 'kicks'). At the stroke of midnight, Lenny strolled onstage to a thunderous ovation. He walked up to the microphone, did a 180, unzipped his fly, and began to vent. And I mean vent. He had probably retained all day to achieve the effect, urinating nonstop for what seemed like close to five minutes. People went nuts. Some of the yuppies were literally nauseated and walked out of the more expensive seats (lest they should get wet). He shook off, zipped up, turned around to a standing ovation before he even opened his mouth, and slowly shushed the audience. His first words? 'Okay! Now that we got ridda da squares, let's get down to business!'"

Cornwell: "When No More Heroes came out, we refused to sign autographs because we were saying, "Don't have heroes. Be your own hero." The people in No More Heroes are anti-heroes really."

SuperLove Lyrics

You're whiskey, wasted, and beautiful dancing through the fire
You're such a vision to see
I used to think that the power of love was just a song
But now it's got hold in me
S.O.S, is it me? Or this is dangerous?
Kill me with your touch
You're soaken through my blood
R.I.P, set me free, yeah, this is dangerous
I can't get enough

Wanna fall into your super love
Yeah my heart never wants it to stop, please save me
'Cause I never seem to get enough,
You're the bullet and you're making me drop
Please save me
So give me all of your super love
'Cause my body is so close to you, I'm waiting
Dive here, and your arms falling there with you

Feels like I'm tripping, I'm falling hard from the highest heights
When I crash where will you be?
I think your hair looks much better pushed over to one side
How do you feel about me?

S.O.S, this is real, and this is dangerous
You're my favorite drug, I smoke you in the car
R.I.P, what a dream, you're so damn dangerous
I can't get enough

Wanna fall into your super love
Yeah my heart never wants it to stop, please save me
'Cause I never seem to get enough
You're the bullet and you're making me drop
Please save me
So give me all of your super love,
'Cause my body is so close to you, I'm waiting
Dive here, and your arms falling there with you

Wanna fall into your super love
'Cause I never seem to get enough
Give me all of your super love
I'm waiting
Dive here, and your arms falling there with you

Wanna fall into your super love
Yeah my heart never wants it to stop, please save me
'Cause I never seem to get enough
You're the bullet and you're making me drop
Please save me
So give me all of your super love,
'Cause my body is so close to you, I'm waiting
Dive here, and your arms falling there with you

Wanna fall into your super love
Yeah my heart never wants it to stop, please save me
'Cause I never seem to get enough
You're the bullet and you're making me drop
Please save me
So give me all of your super love,
'Cause my body is so close to you, I'm waiting
Dive here, and your arms falling there with you

SuperLove

This was released as the first single from Charli XCX's sophomore major label album. "'SuperLove' is a song about running away and falling in love with someone," she said, "and it being really dangerous and bad for you but still amazing, romantic and wonderful."

Charli added that the song was influenced by artists like Bow Wow Wow, The Waitresses and The Flying Lizards as well as "those Lolita-esque bratty French girls and other girl power heroines." She wrote the tune the same week as "I Love It." "Let's just say I was in a similar mind frame," she said.

Although the song was originally announced as the lead single from Charli's then un-titled second major-label studio album, it was eventually not included on Sucker.

The song's music video was shot in Tokyo's Robot Restaurant by Charli's boyfriend, Welsh movie director Ryan Andrews (Elfie Hopkins).

The song is more commercial than Charli's previous offerings. She told Digital Spy : "I wasn't really thinking that I had to create a radio friendly song or anything, it just happened. Originally the song was really, really, really poptastic in the production. It sounded like Katy Perry or something, which was a road I didn't want to go down, so we added some live instrumentation to it. "

Deify Lyrics

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

You want to know why
I feel so horrified
I let my innocence die
You want to know why
I can't be pacified
You made me bury something
I won't be sleeping tonight

[Chorus]
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man

You want to know why
It seems the passion has died
We've all been living this lie
You want to know why my
Will's been fortified
You made me hunger again
Good luck sleeping tonight

[Chorus]

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
I was too blinded to see
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

[Chorus: x2]

I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

Take It Like a Man Lyrics

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta Take It Like a Man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can

They say it's better to love and to lose it all
I didn't learn how to fly without a heavy fall
I went from A to Z, blew off reality
So if my love is a game then you should learn the rules
You take it on if you're leaving wonder why you lose
It takes a wiser man to figure out my head

I've been in love, went to the other side
I've seen the other side
I'm not about to fall into another tonight
So get it right

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can
So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man

I've seen and done it all
I've been misunderstood
But tell me what could be bad about feeling good
It's all or nothing now
'Cause fate don't wait around

I've been in love, went to the other side
I've seen the other side
I'm not about to fall into another tonight
So get it right

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can

So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man

Sometimes it feels
Like we've got everything to prove
We make believe
But we rise again to face the truth

On and on, on and on we're going
On and on, on and on it's growing
On and on, on and on only the real
Know the deal

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can

So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man

How does it feel? We do it better!
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better!
We do it better!

How does it feel? We do it better!
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better!
We do it better!

How does it feel? We do it better!
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better...

Take It Like a Man

This song features a guest vocal turn from Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears. Cher described the song to Billboard magazine as "very double-entendre," adding that "it's a beautiful song that's crazy and raucous, and rocks out and is a great dance song."

This includes some vocoder effects on Cher's and Shear's vocals. Cher previously employed vocal manipulation to great impact on her 1998 chart-topping single "Believe." "What we did with his voice is so strange," Cher told Billboard, "but I know he's gonna love it."

The song was co-produced by British record producer Mark Taylor who was also responsible for creating the vocal effects on "Believe."

Lovers Forever Lyrics

Imagine a life without death or disease
The kind of power to bring a rich man to his knees

I offer you this
But it comes with a price
A moments pain for such a trifle sacrifice

I can show you worlds no human eyes have seen
I can show you worlds beyond all reasoning

Surrender to me now
And we'll be lovers for all time
Angels and sublime
We'll be Lovers Forever

We'll live just like gods
Reaching every desire
We'll savor ecstasy with every kiss of fire

I offer you more
Than mere words can express
And many mortals who have drained their souls for less

With one gesture I can set your spirit free
With one gesture you'll be mine eternally

Surrender to me now
And we'll be lovers for all time
Angels and sublime
We'll be lovers forever

Surrender to me now
And we'll be lovers for all time
Angels and sublime
We'll be lovers forever

Surrender to me now

Surrender to me now

Lovers Forever

This the only track on Closer To The Truth that Cher was involved in writing. The singer originally penned it with Canadian songwriter Shirley Eikhard (Bonnie Rait, Anne Murray) for the 1994 film adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. "They didn't love it and there were no other vampire outlets then, so I held it," Cher explained to USA Today. The "Believe" songstress added that she seldom records her own material because "it's moody and introspective, a bit dark and very personal. I write about Kurt Cobain's death and homeless people. It's not for everybody."

Unsatisfied Lyrics

Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Was you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Hey, are you satisfied?

And it goes so slowly on
Everything I've ever wanted
Tell me what's wrong

Look me in the eye
And tell me that I'm satisfied
Were you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me I'm satisfied
And now are you satisfied?

Everything goes
Well, anything goes all of the time
Everything you dream of
Is right in front of you
And everything is a lie (or) And liberty is a lie

Look me in the eye
And tell me that I'm satisfied
Look me in the eye
Unsatisfied
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so dissatisfied
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so unsatisfied
Well, I'm-a
I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied
I'm so dissatis,dissattis...

Sirens Lyrics

Last night I dreamt I was floating with you
The river so deep and the sky perfect blue
If we leave behind the dust in the sky
From the sound of Sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When it's chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

Streets lie so empty, the lost avenues
The lights of Saint Vincent are too much to lose
If we leave behind the dust in the sky
From the sound of sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When it's chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

If we leave behind the dust in the sky
From the sound of sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of sirens love will survive

When your heart is on the run
When its chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

Sirens

This poignant and soaring anthem was written by American indie singer Nell Bryden and inspired by her hometown New York, and her personal experience in the devastating aftermath of 9/11. Having avoided writing about the events for ten years, Bryden began describing her experience to Patrick Mascall at Metrophonic Studios as the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 approached and by the end of the day she had completed the song. It was included on the singer-songwriter's 2012 Shake The Tree album.

Cher described her big ballad cover as "Cher does U2."

Lie To Me Lyrics

Hmmm

Oh, fuck, just Lie To Me
Tell me something sweet
Till I look the other way
Don't wanna start over babe
Already gave you everything
I got nothing left of me
The truth is overrated

Here it comes now, you're gonna stab me in the heart
I'm gonna hold my ears, so I can't hear us fall apart
Oh, I'm just a little broken down, trying to keep myself alive
So don't kill me
Don't kill me

Neither one of us is pure enough to come clean

I'd rather you lie to me
And look me dead in the eyes
Tell me I'm the one you need
I don't wanna start over babe
This was my everything
You were my last chance, you see
Truth is overrated to me

Is this all common now?
Where's that fairytale that sold us out?
Oh, do you really think you're the only one with secrets now?
See, you're like me
You're just like me

Well, one of us is happy
Other bleeds

So just lie to me
I tell you something sweet
Till we look the other way
We don't wanna start over babe
Weavin' up everything
Till there's nothing left

Hmmm

Lie To Me

This sweeping-strings weepy ballad was penned by Pink and her frequent collaborator, Billy Mann. Cher described it to Billboard magazine as, "the ballad that all the women cry at."

The song is the closing track of Cher's 26th album, Closer To The Truth. The record begins with a selection of dance-floor anthems and ends with a collection of melodic mid-tempo songs and slower numbers. "The first half of the album are the songs that you play before you're going out to dance," Cher told Billboard magazine, "and the second [half] are the ones that you play after you've come home."

From the very first day that you were born
To the very last time you waved and honked your horn
Had no chance at all to watch you grow
Up so sadly, beautiful
Up so sadly, beautiful

Baby needs a brand new pair of eyes
Cause the ones you got now see only goodbyes
Had no chance at all to let you know
Oh so sadly, beautiful
Sadly, beautiful

Well you got your father's hair
And you got your father's nose
But you got my soul
Sadly, beautiful

From the very last time you waved and honked your horn
To a face that turned away pale and worn
Had no chance at all to let you know
You left me sadly, beautiful
Left me sadly, beautiful
