Cry A River Lyrics

Turn off the lights and close your eyes and tell me what you see
I’ll bet it doesn’t have a goddamn thing to do with me
There’s nothing left to say
I finally know the truth about you

You come alive you played it well I was the last to know
My premonition was the only thing that let it show
I gave you everything
But I could never pacify you

So go on and cry me a river
Don’t say this will haunt you forever
It never did it never will

Tear it away I wanna see just what you really are
And rip the veil that hides that wretched soul you call a heart
This is my agony
But I return to stay beside you

So go on and cry me a river
Don’t say this will haunt you forever
It never did it never will

Vows are not meant to be broken
You never cared for a moment
You never did you never will

Now I know the truth about you
All you need I will deny you

So go on and cry me a river
Don’t say this will haunt you forever
It never did it never will

All that you see you devour
The money the greed and the power
You always did you always will

Now I know the truth about you
All you need I will deny you

Cry A River

This song's solo was one of the toughest for Mark Tremonti to lay down on Fortress. He told MusicRadar.com : "I put it off for a while because of the chord progression – I just didn't feel like it was a good sound bed for an emotional solo. One night I was up, and I came up with a little lick for the melodic phrasing for the beginning of the solo, and I was like, 'That's it! Now I'm saved. I have something to work with here.' After that, it came together pretty quickly."

Head Like A Hole Lyrics

God money I'll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to.
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don't want everything he wants it all.
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
Head Like A Hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
God money's not looking for the cure.
God money's not concerned with the sick among the pure.
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God money's not one to choose
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
You know who you are.

Head Like A Hole

This song is about the control that money has over people and the pain and suffering associated with it. "God Money" is just that. Money has become a god unto itself (especially in capitalist societies, like the one in America). Trent Reznor is basically saying he'd rather die than give in to temptation.

Both the song name and the moniker Nine Inch Nails were inspired by a quote by Al Jourgensen , lead singer of the metal band Ministry: "Listening to Ministry is like having a nine inch nail hammered into your head like a hole."

This was one of the 165 "lyrically questionable" songs pulled from the radio at the suggestion of Clear Channel Communications, a company that owned over 1,200 radio stations, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The new wave/punk band Devo covered this for Jackie Chan's Hong Kong action flick Police Story 3: Super Cop in 1992.

The Vitamin String Quartet reworked this as part of their tribute to Pretty Hate Machine in 2005.

Former MTV VJ Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery loudly sang this to Reznor when she first met him, embarrassing the singer and winning a $20 bet in the process.

This was used on Beavis and Butt-Head in the 1993 episode "Door to Door."

Never Should Have Lyrics

You were, all that I wanted
I fell in love with, all of your heart and your soul
From that moment, couldn't imagine
You ever hurting me, or mistreating my love

I should have known

These rivers of tear drops
These sharp pains in my heart
If this was the way that you loved
You Never Should Have loved me

You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have, never should have
Told me you loved me and you would never leave me

‘cause everything that you would do
To make me fall in love with you
Until you left and you made that mistake
Now I can't take it back if I wanted to (wanted to)

Balled up, laying in my bed
Thoughts racing through my head
How did we start out in love and end up here?

You said you loved me, and I believed you
Seems like you don't even mean what you say
These rivers of tear drops
These sharp pains in my heart
If this was the way that you loved
You never should have loved me

You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have, never should have
Told me you loved me and you would never leave me

You were all that I wanted, I fell in love with
You ‘cause you loved me and I thought that you were ready
I thought that we were gonna be a family
And if you weren't then you should’ve let me
Keep all of my love to give, to someone worthy

Never Should Have

This song finds Ashanti singing of a former lover she now regrets. Her lyrics settle over producer Mansur's marching band-driven soundscape:

"You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have
Never should have told me you loved me and you would never leave me."

Ashanti dated Nelly for five years before the pair eventually split up, and many people believe this song is about their broken romance. When asked if the song was motivated by her relationship with the St. Louis rapper, Ashanti hinted that the lyrics are directed at him without actually confirming it. "I'll just say it's a very real record that's inspired by a real experience and it came from a real place," she told The Drop.FM . "A lot of people have been in a situation where they've been betrayed or lied to or taken advantage of. Everyone has been through betrayal. It speaks volumes. It is a universal message. Everyone has been in a situation where they felt betrayed and wish you had not been put in that situation. You can feel it. This record strikes a chord. I felt it was important to be vulnerable and show I am human and that I have feelings."

The song featured in the finale of the seventh series of the Lifetime TV series Army Wives, in which Ashanti co-starred.

Geno Lyrics

Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! ...
Back in '68 in a sweaty club
Oh, Geno
Before Jimmy's Machine and The Rocksteady Rub
Oh-oh-oh Geno-o
On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes
After a week of flunkin' and bunkin' school
The lowest head in the crowd that night
Just practicin' steps and keepin' outta the fights

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael the lover
The fighter that won
But now just look at me
I'm looking down at you
No, I'm not beinh flash
It's what I'm built to do

That man took the stage, his towel was swingin' high
Oh Geno
This man was my bombers, my Dexy's, my high
Oh-oh-oh Geno-o
The crowd they all hailed you, and chanted your name
But they never knew like we knew
Me and you were the same
And now you're all over, your song is so tame, brrrrr
You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
You were Michael the lover
The fighter that won
But now just look at me
I'm looking down at you
No, I'm not being flash
It's what I'm built to do

Oh Geno, Woh-oh-oh Geno-o
Oh Geno, Woh-oh-oh Geno-o

Geno

This song is about Geno Washington, a US Soul singer the band admired. Washington was never big in his home country, but was a popular performer in the UK, where he played with Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd and scored two Top 40 hits in the '60s: "Water" and "Michael."

As Dexys Midnight Runners were on the upswing, packing club shows and getting positive press, Washington's career had faded, and the once-revered singer found himself on the cabaret circuit. "Geno," which was written by Dexys lead singer Kevin Rowland and guitarist Al Archer, is a tribute to Washington and also a look at the cyclical nature of entertainment.

This was the second Dexys Midnight Runners single released in the UK (following "Dance Stance"), and it shot to #1 on the chart, becoming a crowd favorite along the way. Dexys had no distribution in America, so the song wasn't heard in the US. The band would make their splash stateside in 1983 when "Come On Eileen" topped the charts and became an MTV staple.

Dexys Midnight Runners made their mark by adding their distinctive Celtic flavor to Soul music. They championed artists like Washington and did covers of songs by Sam And Dave, Aretha Franklin and the lesser-known Zoot Money. "Soul" was part of Rowland's stage patter ("our hearts are full of soul..."), as he made it clear where their musical roots had grown.

On the band's second album, they had a hit with a cover of "Jackie Wilson Said," which was Van Morrison's tribute to another Soul singer.

There is a reference to the band's name in the line, "This man was my bombers, my dexys, my high." The "dexys" are pep pills - Dexedrine.

Rowland told The Guardian that the lyrics are all true. He recalled: "I saw Geno Washington in 68 at the Railway Hotel in Harrow. I was 15 years old and out with all the older kids – you had to be 18 to get in – short-haired, cool-looking mods-turning-into-skinhead types. Looking back, it's probably not the best gig I've ever been to, but I didn't have anything to compare it to."

The video features plenty of scenes running around alleyways and jumping over railway station ticket barriers. Al Archer told Mojo: "We did all those things. It wasn't any kind of gimmick, we did actually bunk the trains and all that."

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.

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?

They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?

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. "

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

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."

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

This the only track on Closer To The Truth that Cher was involved in writing.

"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."

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

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."

Kids Don't Follow Lyrics

Go home.....this is the Minneapolis police....the
party's over...if you all just grab your stuff &
leave there won't be any hassle..the party's been
closed....etc.
One, two, three, four

Kids won't listen
To what you're sayin'
Kids ain't wondering
Kids ain't praying
Mo says he's worried
He says talk away
He says yeah I've been cured

I need some attention
No house of detention
I'd love some attention
Don't start again

Kids don't need that
Kids don't want that
Kids don't need nothing of the kind
Kids Don't Follow

What you're doin'
In my face out my ear
Kids won't follow
What you're sayin
We can't hear

Can't stop looting
Can't stop smoking
Kids ain't wondering
Can't stop choking
Kids won't stand still
Kids won't shut up
Kids won't do it
You talk to 'em now

Kids don't follow
What you're doin'
In my face and out my ear
Kids won't follow
What you're saying
We can't hear

Kids won't follow
What you're saying
In my face out my ear
Kids don't follow
What you're sayin'
We can't hear
What you say
Not tomorrow
Not today

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."

Sadly Beautiful Lyrics

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
Sadly, beautiful
So sadly
So sadly

Strong Hand Lyrics

Why don't you tell me
What do you need?
There is a blank page
For you

Give me the bones of
What you believe
Maybe they'll save you
From me

Will I be the Strong Hand
Keeping you safe
Or will I break you
In half

And you will never
Be under my thumb
But you are not your
Own man

See the way we all run
When we know it all off by heart
Playing down, waiting all out
Will we win or lose it this time?

When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things that you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?

All of your brothers
They never died
For what you kill for
Slowly

How it will grind you
Into the ground
If you should try to
Hold me

See the way we all run
When we know it all off by heart
Played down, waiting all out
When we win or lose it this time

When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?

When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?

Box Of Rain Lyrics

Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or
Rain is falling from a heavy sky,
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way
Like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner
Where it's been waiting to meet you,
What do you want me to do,
To watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
When you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
You find by you, you can see
Clear through to another day
Maybe been seen before
Through other eyes on other days
While going home,
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
To another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
With words half spoken
And thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through
A Box Of Rain will ease the pain
And love will see you through

Just a box of rain,
Wind and water,
Believe it if you need it,
If you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower,
Wind and rain,
In and out the window
Like a moth before a flame

And it's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare
And it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

Box Of Rain

This song was written for Phil Lesh's father who was dying. Lesh wanted a song to sing to his father before he died. He wrote the music and recorded it and gave the tape to Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. Hunter listened to the music and wrote the lyrics after listening to the tape only a few times. Lesh would practice singing the song in the car on the way to the hospital. He was able to sing the song to his father before he died.

This song was often sung in response to Deadheads chanting "We Want Phil!" It was also the last song the Grateful Dead ever played. On July 9, 1995, they played it as a second encore after "Black Muddy River" during their last show, which took place at Soldier Field in Chicago.

Robert Hunter says in his lyrics anthology , which is named after this song, that "If if a lyric wrote itself, this did-as fast as the pen would pull."

The Language Lyrics

I don't know why they been lying but yo shit is not that inspiring
Bank account statements just look like I'm ready for early retirement
Fuck any nigga that's talkin' that shit just to get a reaction
Fuck going platinum, I looked at my wrist and it's already platinum
I am the kid with the motor mouth
I am the one that you should worry about
I don't know who you're referring to, who is this nigga you heard about?
Someone just talking that bullshit, someone just gave you the run-around
Niggas downplaying the money but that's what you do when the money down
I don't waste time putting money down
I just go straight to who got it and buy it in cash
Pussy so good that you gotta come see me on tour and you gotta fly in first class
This has been years in the making, it's all for the city
You know I come right every summer, Cash Money Records forever
I'm always big timing, bitch, I came up right under Stunna, you know it

Jealousy in the air tonight, I could tell
I will never understand that but oh well
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"
Okay, now you're talking my language, now you're talking my language
Now you're talking my language, now you're talking my language
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"

I'm about to roll one and light it and fuck it man, no one's invited
I got to kill off the weak shit that's got all you niggas excited
I can't even listen, you whylin', I'd much rather sit here in silence
I send all my money to banks in the islands and eat with Italians, I do
People are funny you don't even know about the shit that I been through
I just want some head in a comfortable bed, it could all be so simple
Talking that shit with your back to me, just know it always get back to me
Come get your girl, she been here for three days and she way too attached to me
Hate when they get too attached to me
I got to get on the bus and get back on the road
Get what I can out the country and then I just get on the jet and go back to the cold
Can't even drive with the top off
Been workin' so hard on the album I missed the whole summer
I just might bring in some girls from Miami
To heat up the city and that's word to Stunna, you know it

Jealousy in the air tonight, I could tell
I will never understand that but oh well
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"
Okay, now you're talking my language now you're talking my language
Now you're talking my language, now you're talking my language
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"

Famous and gangstas
You understand me?
Showtime, headlines
Big time, sunshine, tote nines
Bust mines, flatline, hard grind
High life, stay fly it's jet time
Stunt nigga, every time you see a nigga
Stunt nigga, every time you see a nigga
Stunt nigga, swag on head to feet nigga
Stunt nigga,
I might just bring in some girls from Miami to heat up the city and that's word to Stunna you know it

The Language

This Boi-1da, Ritter and Vinylz-produced track finds Drake bragging about his place in rap's elite, as well as fending off rumors that he's about to leave Cash Money. He spits:

"They know I come right every summer
Cash Money Records forever,
I'm always Big-Tyming, bitch
I came up right under Stunna"

Drake reiterates his point by getting Cash Money co-founder Birdman (also known as Stunna after the title of his third album) to croon the outro. Birdman was also one half of the rap duo Big Tymers.

It's been speculated that the song is a response to Kendrick Lamar's verse on Big Sean's "Control" where the Compton rhymer called out Drake and other rap big guns:

"I don't know why they been lying but your s--t is not that inspiring
Bank account statements just look like I'm ready for early retirement
F--k any ni--a that's talkin' that s--t just to get a reaction
F--k going platinum, I looked at my wrist and it's already platinum"

Speaking on RapFix Live, Birdman said he'd heard the speculation, but he doesn't believe that Kendrick was Drake's intended target. "Drake do what he do. He really slick with whatever he do. He makes you think. But I didn't think he put no energy into that," he said. "Kendrick the homey, I ain't got nothin' but love and respect for Kendrick. Top Dawg is one of my best friends, so I would never want to see us condone that. That ain't what this about."

Drake addressed the speculation doing an interview with Vibe magazine. He said: "'The Language' is just energy. What it was inspired by, I'm sure that, and other things. It's just me talking my s---. I never once felt the need to respond to that record. The sentiment he was putting forth is what he should have. Of course you wanna be the best. Where it became an issue is that I was rolling out an album while that verse was still bubbling, so my album rollout became about this thing. What am I supposed to say? Nah, we'll be buddy-buddy? Mind you, I never once said he's a bad guy [or] I don't like him. I think he's a f---ing genius in his own right, but I also stood my ground as I should."

(We Are) The Road Crew Lyrics

Another town, another place
Another girl, another face
Another truck, another race
I'm eating junk, feeling bad
Another night, I'm going mad
My woman's leaving, I feel sad
But I just love the life I lead
Another beer is what I need
Another gig, my ears bleed

We are the road crew

Another town I've left behind
Another drink, completely blind
Another hotel I can't find
Another backstage pass for you
Another tube of superglue
Another border to get through
I'm driving like a maniac
Driving my way to hell and back
Another room, a case to pack

We are the road crew

Another hotel we can burn
Another screw, another turn
Another Europe map to learn
Another truck stop on the way
Another game that I can play
Another word I learn to say
Another blasted customs post
Another bloody foreign coast
Another set of scars to boast

We are the road crew
That's right!

(We Are) The Road Crew

Lemmy wrote this for the band's road crew, who he considered "The best crew in the world."

This took Lemmy just 10 minutes to write.

During Eddie Clark's guitar solo he falls on his back, resulting in a huge feedback which lasts a couple of seconds before making a comeback and returning to the solo.

Lemmy wrote this number in a studio toilet in Rickmansworth, North London. He explained to Q magazine January 2010: "It was the only quiet place in the building. I had an idea and I needed somewhere to work it through. That is the only song I can remember writing in the toilet."
