When You Were My Girl Lyrics


When You Were My Girl
  • Matt Cardle wrote this song, which was the second single from his Porcelain album. The singer also co-produced the song with Toby Smith (Jamiroquai) and Jamie Scott (JLS, Enrique Iglesias). "I had a session in LA with JC Chasez [*NSYNC] and his producer Jimmy Harry," Cardle explained. "We came up with this really awesome bass line, which I revisited a few weeks later when I was back in the UK. I continued writing and a few days later, the track was finished." He added: "It's got a real Marvin Gaye, Jackson-esque type feel to it. I'm really proud of it."

    The song was premiered on BBC Radio 2 on September 30, 2013 and released worldwide a fortnight later.
  • The song's music video was directed and shot by Nick Spanos in Los Angeles on September 16, 2013. The director previously worked with Cardle on the clips for his "It's Only Love" and "Lately" singles.

    Butterfly In Reverse Lyrics


    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They took a lot of time
    Getting it right on this girl
    I said, Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They did a lot of things right on this girl

    Had a lot of girlfriends
    I should have known them
    Click your heels and count back from there
    Do you want to go back?
    You should have known
    That the Butterfly In Reverse here is me

    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They took a lot of time
    Getting it right on this girl
    I said, Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They did a lot of things right on this girl

    Where'd you want to go to
    With nothing beside you
    But webbing and curfews and rain?
    And everything that hurts you
    Is locked up inside you
    Like butterflies with wings
    And other perfect things

    We go swimming in the sunshine
    Dangling from clotheslines
    Separate and fall into me
    But did you ever see me?
    Me, absolutely?
    Me, but all you, but still me?

    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They took a lot of time
    Getting it right on this girl, I said
    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They did a lot of things right on this girl

    Butterfly In Reverse
  • This song expresses regret at losing a girl: Mary-Ann. It describes how Mary-Ann wasn't treated and appreciated as she should have been. The butterfly is used as a metaphor: their feelings are paralleled to a butterfly because butterflies appear so peaceful and at ease. It's explained how feelings are "locked up inside you." But, the author says that he is a "Butterfly in reverse," so this implies that he doesn't feel at ease, doesn't feel beautiful, and doesn't feel peaceful - like the butterfly. He's in indecision over this girl. In addition, the butterfly is compared to Mary-Ann and comes to represent her. She is labeled as perfect, as is the butterfly.
  • Hard Candy got its first breath of impetus from Adam Duritz ' work with Ryan Adams, and Adams returned the favor by co-writing and singing on this. The song revels in the fields of syrupy symphonic Pop, complete with Burt Bacharach reference.
  • This was written for the actress Mary-Louise Parker, whom Duritz dated back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Other actresses whom Duritz dated and who inspired Counting Crows songs are, Courteney Cox-Arquette ("Monkey") and Monica Potter ("Mrs. Potter's Lullaby").

    4x4 Lyrics


    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    I'm a female rebel, can't you tell?
    Banged on the dashboard, just chipped a nail
    Lean out the window, it's when I go
    Driving so fast 'bout to piss on myself
    Driving so fast 'bout to piss on myself
    The police wanna get him and put him in jail
    I'm a do whatever to get him his bail
    Hooked on donuts and rooster tails
    I'm in that passenger seat flying high in the air
    And we're driving fast 'till we're plum out of gas

    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    I'm a female rebel, can't you see?
    Riding 'round your backyard to the beat
    Pulling out the steering wheel right from the seat
    Pumping his brakes to the sound of the beat
    Pumping his brakes to the sound of the beat
    You don't understand what he's doing to me
    Deep down inside like a pit bull in heat
    He's almost coming so we head for the streets
    I'm in that passenger seat flying high in the air
    And we're driving fast 'till we're plum out of gas

    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    It's twelve o'clock and I don't want to party
    My pit bull friend and my big truck hobby
    A little bit of dirt never hurt nobody
    Now I got dirt all over my body
    Might as well, light a ale
    His big fog lights is bright as hell
    Calls 'em off, starts to yell
    He hits the gas so I grab the rail

    Are you sure you wanna ride with me?
    If you scared don't lie to me
    I'm a crazy mother fucka from the mid west
    With a Mississippi flow and all in dress
    And a four by four with the alter steps
    Doing donuts underneath the old chest
    I need a chick on time 'cause mine be early
    Think I ride or I die down to six thirty
    Straight up chick like twelve o'clock
    I don't know where yet, that's what she tell the cops
    Sits down for a nigga, raise her hand for a nigga
    I solemnly swear he was with me all day
    To the judge, he the one I love
    Hell they can't tell, she don't even budge
    Round and round we go
    Don't stop 'till I tell you so

    I'm in that passenger seat flying high in the air
    And we're driving fast 'till we're plum out of gas

    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    I'm a female rebel, can't you tell
    Can't you tell, can't you tell
    I'm a female rebel, can't you tell
    Can't you tell, can't you tell

    4x4
  • This song finds Miley collaborating with Pharrell Williams, who as part of The Neptunes, has produced numerous hit singles for various musicians. Cyrus told Billboard magazine how she mapped out a new sonic vision with Williams in Miami. "We wanted to make something really different," she said. "He came to my house, and I didn't have shoes on-I don't put a show on for anybody. He said, 'This is why I love you: You're just wild and free, and I want to capture that.'"

    This was the second song the pair wrote together and Pharrell described it as a union of "foreign elements."
  • This rhythmic hoedown features Nelly. "It's kind of a country, hip-hop, pop feel, if you can believe that," the St. Louis rapper told MTV News. "It's about having fun; kind of how a 4x4 truck symbolizes rebelliousness ... you know, mashing out, wanting to ride with the bad boys. It's a dope track."
  • Cyrus both raps and sings on the track, and Nelly complimented the ex Hannah Montana star's skills on the mic. "She grew up with hip hop. Hip hop is a way of life, she's not a rapper but she loves hip hop. It's about how she expresses herself," he explained to MTV News. "I know a lot of kids her age that are just like her; they grew up loving this music. People act like they want her to be 30 years old; she's not even 21, she has no kids, she's been working with Disney for her whole life, she wants to have some fun."

    Volvere Junto A Ti Lyrics


    Volveré junto a ti a pesar de mi orgullo
    Volveré porque sé que no puedo elegir
    Recordando ahora días de otra latitud
    Frecuentando sitios donde tu estarás
    Repitiendo gestos y palabras que perdimos
    Volveré junto a ti como cuando me fui

    Tu dime si estás, dispuesto a intentar
    De nuevo conmigo, un largo camino
    Si aún eres tu, si ahora soy yo
    Como una canción sincera y nueva
    Tu dime si estás, si puedo encontrar
    Nuestro pasado en tu mirar

    Volveré junto a ti, pues te quise y te quiero
    Volveré junto a ti, para siempre hasta el fin
    Volveré, porque de ti queda parte en mi

    Al respirar el aire limpio de intranquilidad
    Al reencontrar tus manos fuerte soplaré
    No sentirme siempre frágil como ayer

    Tu dime sólo si estas dispuesto a intentar
    De nuevo conmigo un largo camino
    Dime si aún eres tu, si ahora soy yo
    Aquellas canciones, tuyas, nuestras
    Tu dime si estás, si puedo encontrar nuestro
    Pasado en tu mirar

    Si ahora eres tu una canción sincera y nueva
    Tu dime si estás, si puedo encontrar nuestro
    Pasado en tu mirar

    Ya no puedo elegir, volveré junto a ti.

    Drive Lyrics


    (Mike Will made it)

    Drive my heart into the night
    You can drop the keys off in the morning (in the morning)
    'Cause I don't wannna leave home, without your love
    Without it

    You told me that you wanted this
    I told you it was all yours, if you're done with it
    Then what you say forever for?
    If forevers out the door
    I'll ignore, when you call

    Drive my heart into the night
    Yeah
    You can drop the keys off in the morning (in the morning)
    'Cause I don't want to leave home, without your love
    Without it

    You told me you were coming back (right back)
    Promised it was real and I believed that
    But if I fall for it again, I will be a fool
    If our love is at the end, then why do I still want you yeah
    But I guess I got no valentine
    Send me roses I just let 'em die
    I was crazy thinking you were mine
    It was all just a lie

    Drive my heart into the night
    You can drop the keys off in the morning
    'Cause I don't want to leave home, (leave home) without your love
    Without it

    I always knew I never wanted this
    I never thought it could happen (it could happen)
    You acted like you wanted this
    But then you led me on (led me on)

    I thought you would be there when I go (I go)
    You promised you would be there when I go (I go)
    But all the broken promises I won't miss, I'm finished
    All I know are the facts
    That when I look you in the eyes all I see are the lies
    Been there, done that

    Drive my heart into the night
    You can drop the keys off in the morning (In the morning)
    'Cause I don't want to leave home, without your love
    Without it hey hey, uh

  • This song was inspired by the difficulties Cyrus was having in her relationship with her fiancé Liam Hemsworth before they called a halt to their romance. "I wrote it while I was working on Valentine's Day - emotionally it was such a hard time," Cyrus told Fashion magazine. "It is about needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It's a time when you want to leave but you can't. It's also about moving on."
  • The song was produced by Mike WiLL Made It, who also served as executive producer for Bangerz. Will told Billboard magazine that despite the song's modern Dubstep/Trap sounds, he wanted Cyrus to keep to her Nashville roots with her vocals. "I told her, 'Keep your Country twang,'" he said. "That's what's ill about her."

    Bonus Mosh Pt. II Lyrics


    So, scream I heard about your message
    And how it reeks of your indifference
    Simply tied horizontal straight from your wrists
    (So scream louder now)
    I'm bound to come around about
    (Bound to come around)
    But can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips
    Tensing up your shoulders
    C'mon say it...

    Well, it's love (It's love)
    Make it hurt (I deserve it)
    Well, it's love (It's love)
    Make it hurt (I deserve it)
    Well, it's love, it's love, it's love...
    Make it hurt.

    I said I use the inconsistencies
    That undress the machine
    You're the poster boy, their selling point, the focus for their new campaign
    (Something has to be done)
    Bound to come around about
    (Bound to come around)
    Oh, but can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips
    Tensing up your shoulders, c'mon...

    Well, it's love (It's love)
    Make it hurt (I deserve it)
    Well, it's love (It's love)
    Make it hurt (I deserve it)
    Well, it's love, it's love, it's love...
    Make it hurt.

    The keys to the castle
    Are right where I left them
    The princess walked in just to take more attention
    Cause after all, well isn't that all that I've been after
    And after all, well isn't that all that I'm after
    You're so...

    (No way out) I give up in you, well, I give up in you
    (No way out) I give up in you
    (No way out) Well, I give up in you, I give up in you
    (No way out) Well, I give up in you

    I wanted you for nothing more
    Than hating you for what you were
    If that's what you wanted to hear
    (Well, if that's what you wanted to hear)
    I wanted you for nothing more
    Than hating you for what you were
    (So leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear
    (If that's what you wanted to hear)
    I wanted you for nothing more
    Than hating you for what you were
    (So leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear
    (If that's what you wanted to hear)
    (It's love, it's love) I wanted you for nothing more
    (Make it hurt, I deserve it) Than hating you for what you were
    (If that's what you wanted to hear)
    That's what you wanted to hear
    (To hear) If that's what you wanted to hear

"There's actually a song called 'Vegas Lights,' which I wanted to be an anthem for Vegas that represented how I felt when I went to the clubs.

    Ah ah ah ah ah oh

    What is there left for me to do in this life
    Did I achieve what I had set in my sights
    Am I a happy man, or is this sinking sand
    Was It All Worth It, was it all worth it
    Yeah, now hear my story, let me tell you about it
    We bought a drum kit, I blew my own trumpet
    Played the circuit, thought we were perfect
    Was it all worth it, ooh giving (hey yeah) all my heart and soul and
    Staying up all night, was it all worth it (hey yeah)
    Living breathing rock 'n' roll (ah), a Godforsaken life
    Was it all worth it, was it all worth it (hey) all these years

    Put down our money without counting the cost
    It didn't matter if we won - if we lost
    Yes we were vicious, yes we could kill
    Yes we were hungry, yes we were brill - ha ha haa
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh

    We were so dandy (yeah) we love you madly
    Was it all worth it

    We went to bali, saw God and dali
    So mystic, surrealistic
    Was it all worth it yeah yeah, giving all my heart and soul
    Staying up all night, was it all worth it
    Ooh living breathing rock 'n' roll this never ending fight

    King Push Lyrics


    This is my time, this is my hour
    This is my pain, this is my name, this is my power
    If it's my reign, then it's my shower
    This pole position, I made a lane cause they blocked ours
    Dope boys, block bleeders
    Gold diggers don't stop either
    Motivation is misguided if it hit the mark, then it's not needed
    Carry on like a carry on, and my side bitch I let tag along
    Call me "daddy" from a complex
    Cause her mother's fucker wouldn't marry mom
    No excuses, no regard
    Step on the brick like a promenade
    Twenty thousand on calling cards
    And I'm speaking spanish like Don Omar, but

    I'm King Push, this king push
    I rap nigga 'bout trap niggas
    I don't sing hooks

    Fuck nigga, with the sly talk
    Miss me, with all the pie talk
    When them lights on you, and them letters big
    You point us out, just like an eye-chart
    But that's my fault, my details of the sidewalk
    For eleven years, we seen better years
    We was sellin' birds over the time port
    My first grammy was my first brick
    Red carpet, every bad bitch
    More BMF than billboard
    I got a label deal under my mattress, 'cause

    I'm King Push, still king push
    I rap nigga 'bout trap niggas
    I don't sing hooks

    Vultures to my culture
    Exploit the struggle, insult ya
    They name dropping 'bout caine copping
    But never been a foot soldier
    Let's have another look, just get a little closer
    Rage against the machine, black Zack de la Rocha
    In a cranberry Rossta, inside track on the G rap poster
    Best d-boy all I'm missing is a dash
    Difference between me and Hova, but

    I'm King Push, still king push
    I rap nigga 'bout trap niggas
    I don't sing hooks

    King Push
  • This song finds Pusha making a ferocious claim to the rap throne. The beat was initially credited to the actor Joaquin Phoenix along with My Name Is My Name executive producer, Kanye West. A few days after the publication of the tracklisting, Phoenix explained that it was actually his friend, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich's son who made the beat, and all he did was pass it along to Kanye West"s camp.

    Joaquin Phoenix received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in the 2005 movie, Walk The Line. The actor unexpectedly announced in late 2008 that he had retired from thespian pursuits to pursue a rapping career. A couple of years later Phoenix appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and revealed that his "retirement" announcement was for a mockumentary, I'm Still Here (2010), which he and Casey Affleck were filming.

  • This song was the result of a one-hour session between pianist Freddie Mercury and guitarist Brian May. Mercury wrote most of the song, being responsible for the title, the lyrics and the orchestral parts (done on keyboards). The guitar lines were written by both of them and influenced by Jeff Beck.
  • Freddie and Brian decided to make the song "inside-out," in the sense that it was instrumental in the parts verses would normally be, and it would have vocals in the section where guitar solos generally go. This could have been influenced by Pink Floyd. Mercury's driver confirmed that Freddie listened a lot of their music while he was in the car, and some of their pieces ("In The Flesh," "Is There Anybody Out There?") include the same structure.

    40 Acres Lyrics


    Trouble world, trouble child
    Trouble times destroyed my smile
    No change of heart, no change of mind
    You can take what's yours but you gon' leave what's mine
    I'd rather die, than go home
    I'd rather die, than go home
    And I ain't leaving without my 40 Acres

    Unpolished, unapologetic
    This cocaine cowboy pushed it to the limit
    You thought Tony in that cell would've made us timid
    We found his old cell, bitch, we searchin' through the digits
    Anything Spanish, got me speaking Spanglish
    Money universal, that's the only language
    The dream ain't die, only some real niggas
    We was born to mothers who couldn't deal with us
    Left by fathers who wouldn't build with us
    I had both mine home, let's keep it real niggas
    My better half chose the better path, applaud him
    Younger brother me a spoiled child, I fought him
    I heard that the Devil's new playground is boredom
    The California top just falls back like autumn
    And they say I'm on the verge of winning
    I claim victory when Malice on the verge of sinning
    Old habits die hard
    That rainy day bag buried in the backyard
    It's heaven for a hustler, no graveyards
    Cause stand up niggas don't lie on no floors
    Much rather burns us, ashes to ashes
    Mix us with the powder, sell us to the masses
    We gon' keep it tight, rip it out the plastic
    Now you celebrate motherfuckers raise your glasses, Push'

    Trouble world, trouble child
    Trouble times destroyed my smile
    No change of heart, no change of mind
    You can take what's yours but you gon' leave what's mine
    I'd rather die, than go home
    I'd rather die, than go home
    And I ain't leaving without my 40 acres

    Unpolished, unapologetic
    Might have broke a heart or two but gave an honest effort
    My nonchalant attitude is always fuck it
    35 years of marriage and my momma left it
    You shouldn't question if you ever stood a chance with him
    The better question is did you enjoy the dance with him
    (Yughh!) I'll probably never pull you chair out, bitch
    You know this money grew your hair out, switch
    All that shit I bought you wear out
    Rich, and I'm the only one I care about
    Place none above me, God don't like ugly
    Hate me or love me, only he can judge me
    Unpolished, unapologetic
    Big willie with the blow, niggas, I am legend
    School of hard knock, I attended
    Selling hard rock, fuck who I offended
    I was a goner, punished by karma
    Called him tar baby now he’s transcending genres
    The 911 came with the ass shots
    A toothless crackhead was the mascot
    The owner of the key to that padlock
    I’m Jordan vs Cavs for the last shot
    I need all mine, reparations
    We growin' poppy seeds on my 40 acres, Push!

    Trouble world, trouble child
    Trouble times destroyed my smile
    No change of heart, no change of mind
    You can take what's yours but you gon' leave what's mine
    I'd rather die, than go home
    I'd rather die, than go home

    40 Acres
  • Pusha explained the meaning of this The-Dream and Rico Beats produced track to MTV News: "It really harps on things that have happened in my life in regards to family," he said, "my brother being my partner, my parents not being together, speaking on how those things altered my views on relationships and so on."

    He continued: "One of the lyrics goes:

    'Unpolished, unapologetic, might've broke a heart or two, but gave an honest effort
    You see my nonchalant attitude is always f--- it/
    35 years of marriage, and my mama left it
    You shouldn't question if you ever stood a chance with him, the better question is, did you enjoy the dance with him?
    I'll probably never pull your chair out, bitch, you know this money grew your hair out, switch
    All that s--- I bought, you wear out, rich
    But I'm the only one I care 'bout.'

    "A lot of people, and men in general, don't recognize that their selfishness towards women in a relationship probably has to do with something that has happened in their life before," Pusha explained. "I like to harp on things like that because people speak about relationships like it's always so blissful but, like I said, my album is also based in harsh realities."
  • Pusha told MTV News that he booked a room in the Los Angeles' Redbury Hotel, where he spent three days writing the song. "Three days without touching the studio. Everybody [was] beginning to think I'm wasting studio time, but sometimes it takes that long," he said. "That's writing it, not liking it, not liking the order of it, not liking the flow of it, ripping it up [and] going back at it again."
  • Pusha's brother Gene "Malice" Thornton was formerly his partner in the rap duo Clipse. After Gene's conversion to Christianity, he changed his performing name to No Malice and concentrated on a solo career. Pusha addresses the difference between him and brother on this song:

    "My better half, chose the better path, applaud him
    Younger brother, me, a spoiled child, I fought him
    I heard that the Devil's new playground is boredom
    The California top just falls back like autumn
    And they say I'm on the verge of winning
    I claim victory with Malice, on the verge of sinning."

    Pusha explained to MTV News that he has no problem with No Malice's new direction. "When you're involving my brother, you're involving a whole other aspect of life, which is family, which is love, which is my heart, which is everything to me," he said. "Any decision he makes, I ride with it. Any decision I make, he rides with it."

    A song of desperation, but I'm not letting go

    They said we were too young, to keep our love so strong
    You said you want devotion, look no further

    But I know we can turn it around
    I know I've hurt you, and I've not been true
    But I know I can turn it around

  • Sub Focus (aka Nick Douwma) enlisted the vocal help of Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke for this song. "I wanted to do a track that felt like indie electronica," he told MusicRadar.com . "I'm a big fan of people like Friendly Fires and Passion Pit, so I wanted to incorporate that feel."

    "The lead patch is one that you hear quite a bit this days," Douwma added, "it's a retro-sounding synth that's just really simple, quick pitch modulation on a saw wave."

    "Kele's vocal was a big part of this song coming together.," he concluded. "It's been a big ambition of mine to work with him for a long time. He's got an amazing, emotive voice that works really well in dance music."

    Don't Try So Hard Lyrics


    If you're searching out for something
    Don't Try So Hard
    I you're feeling kind of nothing
    Don't try so hard
    When your problems seem like mountains
    Feel the need to find some answers
    You can leave it for another day
    Don't try so hard

    But if you fall and take a tumble
    It won't be far
    If you fail you mustn't grumble
    Thank your lucky stars
    Just savor every mouthful
    And treasure every moment
    When the storms are raging round you
    Stay right where you are
    Oh don't try so hard
    Oh don't take it all to heart
    It's only fools they make these rules
    Don't try so hard

    One day you'll be a Sergeant Major
    Oh you'll be so proud
    Screaming out your bloody orders
    Hey but not too loud
    Polish all your shiny buttons
    Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
    But you never had to try
    To stand out from the crowd

    Oh what a beautiful world
    Is this the life for me
    Oh what a beautiful world
    It's the simple life for me

    Oh don't try so hard
    Oh don't take it all to heart
    It's only fools they make these rules

    Don't try so hard

    Everything they don't baby you're obscene
    You don't listen you don't hear
    You're blinded by the fear that surrounds you

    I know you say love when you mean control
    You buy the truth and your heart is cold
    So you live in shadows

    But you live in terror with the hollow men
    Who stun you with their lies
    With fever in their eyes as they drown you

    Baby, I Can't Please You
  • The meaning behind this song has caused a bit of confusion over the years. With its politically charged video that alternates the breakdown of a right wing spy with flashes of Rush Limbaugh's face on a TV screen, most fans assume the song was aimed at the conservative radio host. The lyrics even seem to accuse Limbaugh and his contemporaries of a fear-mongering agenda: "You try to tell the world how it should spin, But you live in terror with the hollow men, Who stun you with their lies, With fever in their eyes as they drown you."

    But, according to Phillips, the possibility of a political interpretation is just that - a possibility. She said in our interview: "It's not specifically about Rush Limbaugh, but it might be about what's wrong with Rush Limbaugh. But that might also be what's wrong with somebody else who's liberal. I try to make them a little bit more human than specific in that sense, so that 'Baby I Can't Please You' is a broader concept. It could be in a love relationship. It could be in a political relationship. Hopefully there are many levels you can take any of my songs on. That is always my aim."
  • The music video for this song ends with a quote by Christian author C.S. Lewis: "People in fear are always attempting to gain power... People in love are always willing to give up power."
  • This song was used in the 1999 TV movie It Came From the Sky (starring Christopher Lloyd, John Ritter and Jo Beth Williams) and also appeared on the Melrose Place: The Music soundtrack in 1994.

  • Guitarist Brian May wrote this for his solo album but when he listened to Freddie Mercury singing it, he decided to give it away to the band. Then the 4 of them re-wrote it together.
  • This song is about rushing into things without proper preparation. Rushing into something headlong is like jumping into something head first without thinking about consequences.

    Pretty Time Bomb
  • Sam Phillips was "taking a swing at celebrity culture" with this song, trying to get people to connect with something other than their television sets. She explained in an interview with Patheos.com:

    "I think one of the things that I've felt strongly about is not to preach, but to inspire and offer an alternative instead—to say: 'There's something else. Look over here, you might find something else.' Because our culture is so success- and money-oriented, and the music business is, too. I think we all know this in a sense, but we're still on the hamster wheel even though money doesn't guarantee abundance or happiness or joy.

    I think art reminds us of this. Being inspired by and lost in a song, painting, poem, story, or performance can be one of the richest experiences in life. It's such a release from all the push for us to buy things and to be what we're not."
  • The Push Any Button album, inspired by the '50s and '60s era of Pop music, was nearly named after this song until the tragic Boston Marathon bombings of April 15, 2013 prompted Phillips to change her mind. She told Examiner.com about the inspiration behind the current album title: "I was trying to connect it to the 20th Century - when you think about it, there aren't many mechanical buttons to 'push' anymore, as we're living in the electronic age. I feel like these songs were pulled from the jukebox in my mind."

    We'll just keep on trying
    We'll just keep on trying
    Till the end of time
    Till the end of time
    Till the end of time

    Innuendo
  • Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor wrote the lyrics to this song as a tribute to Led Zeppelin. When Robert Plant joined the three surviving members of Queen at Freddie Mercury's memorial concert at Wembley Stadium, they played a full version of this song, which included parts of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and "Thank You."
  • The music was started off by Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon jamming in the studio in Montreux. From then on Freddie Mercury composed the song and added the long interlude. The melody is Mercury's as well. Lyrics were started off by Mercury but completed by drummer Roger Taylor.
  • The orchestra in the middle part was completely done with synthesizers; by Freddie Mercury and the producer David Richards.
  • Yes guitarist Steve Howe played the Spanish guitar solo in the middle because, admittedly, Brian May couldn't do it. Steve dropped by in the studio to say hi to producer David Richards, then Freddie invited him to join them on the track.
  • This was Queen's third #1 in the UK after "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Under Pressure."
  • Chris Daughtry performed this song on the fifth season of American Idol. Simon Cowell called his performance "indulgent" and asked why he didn't sing one of the great Queen songs instead.

    Lying Lyrics


    If I said I believe my eyes
    And science can move my soul
    If I said I'm not afraid to die
    And I don't need you

    I'd be Lying

    If I said the way he looks at me
    Doesn't make me want to undress
    If I said I could leave you now
    And go where I could forget

    I'd be lying

    I've been lying all my life with silence
    And I need to find the words to tell you

    If I said I don't want what I don't have
    And all the answers are enough
    If I said I believe in myself
    And that's enough

    I'd be lying

    Lying
  • In this song, Sam Phillips tries to tell her lover how she feels in a roundabout way: "If I said I could leave you now and go where I could forget, I'd be lying." In our interview with Phillips , she talked about the nuts and bolts of the song: "There were some philosophies going around and some self help that I didn't agree with, so I put that in a song. It was a hodgepodge of that, but more of what the Tin Pan Alley writers call the classic laundry list song: you put a lot of different things in a list. That was an unusual way to say it: 'I'd be lying if I said this, this, this, this, this, and this.' So I guess that would be the craft part of it, the 'behind the machine' part of it."

    Tin Pan Alley refers to the influential music publishers and songwriters based in large cities - usually New York - in the mid-19th to 20th centuries.
  • Elvis Costello was a guest performer - as guitarist - on the Cruel Inventions album.
  • Phillips re-recorded this song for her digitally released Long Play series. She told the Pop Matters website: "I was never really happy with my performance of it on Cruel Inventions, I thought my vocal was too strident. I wanted a softer approach, vocally, so I thought a stripped down version would be interesting, and I was really happy with how it turned out."

    Sail Away Sweet Sister Lyrics


    Hey little babe you're changing
    Babe are you feeling sore?
    It ain't no use in pretending
    You don't wanna play no more

    It's plain that you ain't no baby
    What would your mother say?
    You're all dressed up like a lady
    How come you behave this way?

    Sail Away Sweet Sister
    Sail across the sea
    Maybe you'll find somebody
    To love you half as much as me
    My heart is always with you
    No matter what you do
    Sail away sweet sister
    I'll always be in love with you

    Forgive me for what I told you
    My heart makes a fool of me
    You know that I'll never hold you
    I know that you gotta be free

    Sail away sweet sister
    Sail across the sea
    Maybe you'll find somebody
    To love you half as much as me
    Take it the way you want it
    But when they let you down my friend
    Sail away sweet sister
    Back to my arms again

    Hot child don't you know you're young
    You got your whole life ahead of you?
    And you can throw it away too soon
    Way too soon

    Sail away sweet sister
    Sail across the sea
    Maybe you'll find somebody's
    Gonna love you half as much as me
    My heart is always with you
    No matter what you do
    Sail away sweet sister
    I'll always be in love with you

    Sail Away Sweet Sister
  • Queen guitarist Brian May wrote this, and though he usually played piano on his own songs, this time he asked Freddie Mercury do record it because of his perfect timing and rhythm sense. Mercury sings the middle eight of the song as well, while Brian sings the verses and choruses.
