Headphones Lyrics


I'mma turn my Headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain (Uh!)
Can you help me, (Yeah!) to (uh-uh-uh) live with me, today
Today, today I wanna fly away (Uh!)
Today (Yeah!), today (uh-uh-uh) I wanna fly away

Wish that I could fly, fly away
Looking for a brighter day, a brighter day
Run Away from yesterday, yesterday
And take all of my Ghetto boys and girls with me
And, even if we don't know when we're in a race
And put a big smile on our mama face
F-Fly away, flying down the Highway
Livin' in the moment, with my shawty right beside me
Touch the sky up, take it higher
Way up till we floating, we let everybody know
That we go make it righter, make it righter, oh yeah
Today!

I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think (I don't wanna)
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me, today
Today, today I wanna fly away
Today, today I wanna fly away

(Let's go!)
I wish that I could hit the block, chillin' with the Homies
Posted on the corner, with no cops checking on us
Take everybody that's with our houses and make a monastery
Health, care, I swear, I do it right now
Tell every boy that had a father at home
If I could I would make you my own
No [single women](undefined) should have to raise you alone
Gimme you're hand, yeah understand together we can
Touch the sky up, take it higher
Way up till we floating, we let everybody know
That we go make it righter, make it righter, oh yeah
Today!

I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think (I don't wanna)
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me

Oh, and I'mma turn my Headphone
Never turn his head hurt
I'm flying Awa-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
I'm flying Awa-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
They can't stop you (can't stop you no!)
They can't drop you (drop you down!)
I'mma turn his Headphones up and fly away!

I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think (I don't wanna)
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me

I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me

I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain
Can you help me, to live with me

Today, today I wanna fly away
Today, today I wanna fly away

Headphones
  • This M.O. track features the Canadian-Portuguese songstress Nelly Furtado. Speaking with Digital Spy , the rapper called it the "first ever Nelly and Nelly collaboration." Nelly added: "It's me, you know. It's more of a stressless song and something that's very inspiring. It's something that I think people were probably expecting as a love song from Nelly and Nelly, so we definitely wanted to take it into a different direction to make people think a little bit."

    Black Moon Lyrics


    (So)
    You know what, you can't come floppin' that shit
    If you run up, guess what, I'm stoppin' that shit
    Still can't figure out nothin' or find flaws
    Take the Pauls, better recognize bodies on the lawn

    If you see such, might touch, home is the crutch
    Roll the dutch with the bunch of we never have enough
    Hold steady for the lyrical melee with delicate rhymes
    An alphabetical order of one at a time

    Should we break it up? Welcome the true while you fearin' it
    And lookin' at the youth, whatcha gonna do? They hearin' it
    Don't hate your face, still in the air lookin' at
    You made me twist you up your all crooked now

    Take a step back sucker, you get spit on
    Payback comin' from all of those you shit on
    (Why?)

    Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
    You on the camera, guess what? I see you
    (So what?)
    Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
    You on the camera, bitch what? I see you

    Check the mic cord every place I roam
    And all the bullshit cease when I pull my chrome
    It's automatic, drastic the way I blow you
    Incredible and unforgettable

    I make you bounce to the rhythm, what counts I hit 'em
    Straight ounce of venom and great amounts of visim
    I'm the psycho lookin' for the prey
    All the way out in the boondocks with the AK on
    (Why?)

    Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
    You on the camera, guess what? I see you
    (So what?)
    Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
    You on the camera, bitch what? I see you

    The hand on the clock's tickin', the plot thickens
    Times runnin' out, you can't hide from the gat clickin' punk
    Hit the floor rhyme to even the score, people
    We'll be hearin' about the way ya were in folklore

    'cause MC's amaze and the people you knew were rippin' up
    Rollin' em up with weed then spliff 'em I got the need
    Say what, what, you want somethin' to pump up
    Jump up just like a record that cut up

    Try to nut up think it's funny
    I'll wrap your ass up like the mummy
    With rhymes, sucka's they run from me
    Wanna get away, that's a better way, ya heard

    (Why?)
    Tell me the word and kilts comin' with poison verbs
    And vocab sucka's be leavin' out on the slab

    Black Moon
  • From the linear notes, lead singer Chino Moreno: "This song was the very last thing recorded for the White Pony sessions. I remember getting a call from B Real (from Cypress Hill) asking me if I had finished recording the lines he had asked me to speak for the song Rock Superstar. I told him that I was finished, though I hadn't actually gotten around to doing it. He said, 'Cool, I'm right around the corner from the studio. I'll swing by and pick it up.' So I quickly ran into the vocal booth and asked Terry to hit 'record.' I recorded around two minutes of me rambling on a DAT and literally ejected the tape as he walked in. Anyway, that same day I asked him if he would be down to record some vocals for a song Crook and I had been working on titled Black Moon, and it would be sort of like a trade for the thing I had done for Rock Superstar. I ended up feeling kind of bad because the original version of Black Moon was like five long verses. So he sat wrote three full pages of lyrics compared to my couple sentences. Some trade. I just recently got a copy of what we did and edited it down for this record. Cypress has and always will be some of my favorite rap sh*t. I felt truly honored for the opportunity to work with B. I want to do it again."

    Father Sun
  • This duet with Sammy's son Aaron Hagar is a track from Sammy Hagar and Friends, the vocalist's first-ever Rock collaborations album. He told Jam! Music the inspiration for this song. "I go to this little island called Taha'a and there's about 60 people on it," he explained. "I said, 'Okay, I'm taking my family the day after Christmas. No guitar. No tape recorders. No music.' ... I was there about four days and every night at dinner they'd bring in these people from these islands. A lady beating on a drum - boom, boom, boom - and these Tahitian ukuleles and these weird string instruments and they would sing the most beautiful music, French Polynesian music. Anyways, I got so damn inspired that I bought one of those instruments off a guy, 'cause you couldn't go anywhere to buy one, so I said, 'Just sell me your thing.' And I started writing on it and wrote the song called 'Father Sun.'"
  • Hagar told Jam Music how his son Aaron ended up singing on this song. " At 40 he decides now he's going to be a singer," he explained, "He just kills me 'cause he's such a great artist. He can sing. He can play instruments. He can paint ... He's really creative, paints, draws, sculpts, builds cars from scratch. So he can do anything but if he wants to pursue a musical career, he's got good talent. I asked him to do it."

    Every time I'm falling down
    You take the repercussions
    Headaches and anxieties
    Advancing my frustrations

    Rush into my depression
    Sacrifice everything
    Waste with me into nothing
    Well now you're stuck with me

    Hand up your soul to my wrist
    And I'll vow my trust to you
    Moving on and I always thought
    I realized you've imagined
    You take the repercussions
    Headaches and anxieties
    Advancing my frustrations

    Rush into my depression
    Sacrifice everything
    Waste with me into nothing
    Well now you're stuck with me

    Hand up your soul to my wrist
    And I'll vow my trust to you
    Moving on and I always thought
    I realized you've imagined

    Do Da Da
  • This was originally called "Stuck with me," as those lyrics are repeated in the song. However, there was a mix-up while naming songs, and a song on the album Insomniac was given that name by accident. They decided that it suited that song better, so this one got the nonsense name "Do Da Da."

    Album: As Time Goes By
    Released: 1949

    Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend Lyrics


    Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend
  • This song was written by Jule Styne and Leo Robin for the Broadway production of Gentleman Prefer Blondes and was first performed by Carol Channing in 1949. Ethel Merman, the actress and singer known for her vibrant voice and magnetic stage presence, recorded it the following year.
  • The most iconic performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" is undoubtedly Marilyn Monroe's in the 1953 film version of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. As playgirl Lorelei Lee, Marilyn created an indelible image while draped in pink satin and diamonds surrounded by a group of dapper suitors. Her own sultry voice was used for most of the song, but some rough patches were dubbed over with Marni Nixon's vocals - specifically the high-pitched opening and the line "These rocks don't lose their shape, diamonds are a girl's best friend." Although if 20th Century-Fox had their way, Marilyn's vocals would have been entirely dubbed. Nixon told The New York Times in 2007 that the studio was unimpressed with the star's "silly" voice, but Nixon thought it was perfect for the character and the song.

    Nixon's soprano voice was a familiar one in Hollywood; she also dubbed vocals for Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady.
  • Several artists have emulated Marilyn's performance over the years. Madonna copied the attire and set design for her "Material Girl" video in 1984 but later claimed she had little in common with the icon. She told Smash Hits in 1992: "I don't think I'm like Marilyn Monroe in a lot of ways. The main thing that we have in common is that we bleach our hair. She's a 'sex symbol' and a 'sex goddess' and I can relate to that in terms of how many people like to see me."

    Anna Nicole Smith also channeled Marilyn for her "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" single in 1998 (and in 2004 dressed as Marilyn/Lorelai for a PETA ad campaign, stating "Gentlemen prefer fur-free blondes").

    Australian Pop singer Kylie Minogue covered the song in 1995 and then re-recorded in in 2004 for the film White Diamond.
  • Gossip Girl socialite Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) dreamed she was performing the song ala Marilyn Monroe in the show's 100th episode "G.G." while Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) appeared as a Breakfast at Tiffany's-inspired Audrey Hepburn.
  • Nicole Kidman sang a modified version of this song for Moulin Rouge! in 2001. Called "Sparkling Diamonds," the song eliminated any overt 1950s references - such as the names of jewelers or the modern Automat - to reflect the film's turn-of-the-20th-century time period.
  • The song has also been borrowed by many Jazz singers. Lena Horne included it on her 1958 album Give the Lady What She Wants, while Julie London recorded it in 1961, followed by Eartha Kitt in 1962.

    Such a sight for sore eyes, you're a suicide makeover.
    Plastic eyes, lookin' through a numb skull.
    Self-effaced, what's his face.
    You erased yourself so shut up.
    You don't let up.

    You have a growth that must be treated
    Like a severed severe pain in the neck.
    You can smell it but you can't see it.
    No explanation identified 'cause you don't know.
    You don't say.

    And you got no reply.
    Hey you, where did you come from?
    Got a head full of lead, you're a inbred bastard son.
    All dressed up, red blooded,
    A mannequin Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're synthetic.
    You're pathetic.

    Prosthetic Head
  • Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this about "fake" people, like those in Hollywood. The lyrics, "All dressed up, red-blooded mannequin" show his feelings about them putting up a front and being "plastic."
  • After the bridge, right before Billie Joe starts singing, "I see you..." you can hear someone cough. It's probably Billie because he sounds out of breath when he starts singing again.

    Healer
  • "Healer" is a modern hymn written by the Australian songwriter and evangelical Christian Michael Guglielmucci. It was inspired by his struggle with cancer - which is truly inspirational. Except that it wasn't; in September 2006, Guglielmucci was treated at hospital after a minor accident; the cancer was all in his head, although not literally.

    Two years later his father - his terrestrial one, not the one in the sky - revealed the truth. His son had been suffering not from cancer but from the sins of the flesh, in particular an addiction to pornography. The case became a national scandal, but Jesus will probably forgive him in the end, even if the Australian public won't.

    Weighed out
    Her choices on a scale
    Prevailing nothing made sense
    Just transportation and a
    Blank decision... she's taking off
    No time and no copping out
    She's burning daylight and petrol
    Blacked out the rear view mirror
    Heading westward on
    Strung out
    On confusion road
    And ten minute nervous breakdowns
    Xanex a beer for thought
    And she determined... She's taking off
    Is it salvation?
    Or an escape from discontent?
    Will she find her name
    In the California cement?
    Punched out of the grind
    That punched her one too many times...
    Is tragedy two thousand miles away?
    She's taking off

    Writer/s: MURVIN, JUNIOR / PERRY, LEE
    Publisher: Universal Music Publishing Group
    Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

    Police And Thieves
  • This song was co-written by Junior Murvin with the legendary Reggae producer Lee "Scratch" Perry. At a session at Perry's famous Black Arc studio in Jamaica, Murvin and his backing band The Upsetters were jamming on a version, when out of nowhere lyrics, structure and melody all came together and Perry made the snap decision to record the song in that form that very day. The next day a dub remix and alternative versions were recorded, and by the end of that week the record was released and gaining heavy airplay in Jamaica.
  • "Police and Thieves" had already become a huge hit in the UK before the British Punk band The Clash made the song even more famous with their cover version on their debut album. Originally recorded simply to fill space, the band were incredibly nervous about being a white Rock band covering a Reggae song so deeply entrenched in Jamaican roots. In the Westway to the World documentary singer Joe Strummer explained: "We had some brass neck to do that. By all rights they should've said 'ya heathen mon, ya ruined de works of Jah!' But they were hip enough to realize that we'd brought our own music to the party."

    "In the way that '60s bands would cover contemporary R&B classics, we covered the latest record from Jamaica," noted guitarist Mick Jones.

    The Clash's version features rearranged guitar patterns (playing on both the on-and-off beat to set it aside from Reggae, at the behest of Jones) and an opening homage to The Ramones by quoting the line "They're going through a tight wind!" from "Blitzkrieg Bop." It became a live standard for the band, being played from April 1977 through to pretty much the end of the band, and Strummer often enjoyed improvising new sections of lyrics or music into live versions, often more parts of "Blitzkrieg Bop" or Ray Charles' "Hit The Road Jack."
  • This became a hugely popular song in the UK club scene, and was particularly popular amongst Punk rockers thanks to exposure by DJ Don Letts, who championed many Reggae songs. Since early on in Punk history there weren't many actual singles out (The Damned's "New Rose" was the first and only Punk single for a while), DJs in clubs had to play other songs aside from Punk, and often played Reggae singles - including "Police and Thieves." As a result of it's popularity in the UK and The Clash's cover version, Murvin's original version was re-released in 1980 and became a UK Top 40 hit at #23.
  • Other covers aside from The Clash's version include a Drum 'n' Bass rendition by the group Dubversive in 1997, a version by Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl for the Reno 911!: Miami film, and further covers by The Rabble, The Orb, Charlie Harper (of fellow UK punk band The UK Subs), Perez Trope Ska, and Culture Club.
  • "Police and Thieves" has featured on many film soundtracks, most famously in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) where it soundtracks a scene in a cannabis farm in an apartment. It also features in the Wes Anderson movie The Royal Tenenbaums, and in the 1978 movie Rockers.

    I saw you standing alone
    With a sad look on your face
    You call him on the phone
    Looks like he left you
    Without a trace
    Tears falling out of your eyes
    He's living in a disguise
    You've been feeling bad for so long
    You wonder if it's right or wrong

    [Chorus]
    Why Do You Want Him?
    Why do you want him?

    Now many days have gone by
    And you still just sit there and cry
    You're feeling bad for yourself
    His memory will always dwell
    You're so obsessed with his love
    That's why push came to shove
    You've been feeling bad for so long
    You wonder if it's right or wrong

    [Chorus: x2]

    You find a way out
    To throw it all the way
    But you can bet
    You got something to say

    Why Do You Want Him?
  • This is one of the first songs Billie Joe Armstrong wrote. He wrote it when he was 14, and it is about his stepfather whom he and his 5 siblings detested.
  • After his father died and his mother started dating a different man, Billie Joe wrote this to get his feelings out. It's a great example of the expressive songwriting that is characteristic of his songs.

    Police On My Back
  • Originally released on the Baby, Come Back album in 1968, the song enjoyed a revival in the manner of Junior Murvin's "Police And Thieves" when UK punk band The Clash recorded a cover of the song in 1980 for their Sandinista! album. "We used to play the Equals' version on the tour bus, Mick was the first one to play it to me" said bassist Paul Simonon. "We recorded it at the Power Station, just the three of us, me, Mick (Jones, guitarist) and Topper (Headon, drummer). Paul put his bit on later in Wessex," noted singer Joe Strummer.

    There was a slight problem with recording in New York as no record store in NYC had a copy of the album, so Clash aide Kosmo Vinyl had to bring a copy of the LP over from London to help the band remember the lyrics.
  • This song was cited by some critics in reviews of the Sandinista! album as the most Clash-sounding song on the album - with the irony being that it's a cover! The song was a live standard for the band from 1981 until their breakup.

  • From the linear notes, lead singer Chino Moreno: "This song, originally derived from a Crook sample, had almost no real instrumentation. So when I heard the kids from Idiot Pilot covering this live, I got the idea to re-record it with them. The song itself is super simple, but I think that's what I love about it. The lyrics were all written when I was 15 and living in Arizona with my grandparents. It's pretty much about my first and only real date I ever had. It's kind of corny, but it was the first time I got my heart broken."
