Psycho

This is a song against groupies, which is a surprise since many Rock bands write affectionate songs about them. It basically says that if you want to see the show, you don't have to sleep with the band.

Me & My Girls Lyrics

And we play our favorite songs
And we scream out all night long
Like ooh oh
When it's just me and my girls

All the lights, turn them off
It's too loud in here to talk
I don't understand a word you say

Gotta sleep but instead
Karaoke on the bed
Taking duck face selfies right and left

We get crazy with it, we get stupid with it
We don't care if people stare
And when we wobble with it

We get diva on it
We get queen bee on it yeah
We get Britney, Demi, One Direction, Bieber on it

And we play our favorite songs
And we scream out all night long
Like ooh oh
When it's just me and my girls
And we dance like no one's watching
We crack up, booty poppin'
Like ooh oh
When it's just me and my girls
Watch me now
Me and my girls, me, me and my girls
Me and my girls, pop pop pop it pop it
Me and my girls, me, me and my girls

My voice is gone, got my favorite PJ's on
Times like this don't always come along
You're all I need, there's nowhere I'd rather be
Then to have you crazy freaks with me

We get crazy with it, we get stupid with it
We don't care if people stare
And when we wobble with it

We get diva on it
We get queen bee on it yeah
We get Britney, Demi, One Direction, Bieber on it

And we play our favorite songs

Me & My Girls

This was released as a promotional single from Fifth Harmony's debut EP, Better Together, reaching #104 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.

Fifth Harmony's Lauren said during a performance on Live From MTV that each track on the EP "has a different kind of vibe to it." She added the overall concept is being yourself and OK with what you're feeling," "So if you're having a good day and want to go out with your girl and see a guy or whatever, 'Don't Wanna Dance Alone' and 'Me & My Girls,'" Lauren continued. "And then if you're having one of those days where you're in a relationship and it's hard, we have 'Who Are You.' So it's a teenage-girl little diary."

Prison Song Lyrics

They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison

Following the rights movements
You clamped on with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids
Following the rights movements
You clamped on with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood

Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated
In the prison system, prison system
Prison system of the U.S.

They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
(For you and me to live in)
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
(For you and me)

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
You don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars
Against the new non-rich
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
You don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars
Against the new non-rich

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood

The percentage of Americans in the prison system
Prison system, has doubled since 1985

They're trying to build a prison

Oh baby, you and me

All research and successful drug policies show
That treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing
Mandatory minimum sentences
All research and successful drug policies show
That treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing
Mandatory minimum sentences

Utilizing drugs to pay for
Secret wars around the world
Drugs are now your global policy
Now you police the globe

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood

Drug money is used to rig elections
And train brutal corporate sponsored
Dictators around the world

They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison

Prison Song

This is about how America has too many people in prison and it throws out some facts (the percentage of Americans in the prison system has doubled since 1985; nearly 2,000,000 Americans are incarcerated). The chorus describes America's need to build more prisons, yet it none-too-discretely blames the government for the problem.

Recovery Lyrics

I don't want to play this game no more
I don't wanna play it
I don't want to stay 'round here no more
I don't wanna stay here
Like rain on a Monday morning
Like pain that just keeps on going on

Look at all the hate they keep on showing
I don't want to see that
Look at all the stones they keep on throwing
I don't want to feel that
Like Sun that will keep on burning
I used to be so discerning, oh

In my Recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

And I can hear the choirs keep on singing
Tell me what they’re saying
And I can hear the phone
It keeps on ringing
I don’t want to answer
I know that I used to listen
And I know I’ve become dismissive

In my recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

In my recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing

The River Of Dreams Lyrics

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep

I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep

And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep

I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind

In the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep

We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By The River Of Dreams

In the middle of the night

The River Of Dreams

Billy Joel gets a lot of song ideas in his dreams, and often struggles to remember them when he wakes up. For this song, however, he woke up with the song in his head, but tried NOT to write it. He explained on The Howard Stern Show in 2010: "I thought, Who the hell am I to try to pull off this gospel song, so I took a shower to wash this song away. I sang it in the shower and knew I had to do it."

In Joel's dream, he was "walking in his sleep," which inspired that lyric.

Joel has said that the phrase "River of Dreams" is a play on the phrase "Stream of Consciousness."

This is a very spiritual song where Joel, who identifies himself as an atheist, includes some biblical imagery, including the line, "Through the valley of fear," which is a reference to Psalm 23:4 - "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." Joel also says that the river is a religious image, as "there's baptizing in a river and you have to cross the river - people are getting dunked in the river and there's rivers of blood."

The cover of the River Of Dreams album was painted by supermodel Christie Brinkley, who was Joel's second wife.

Danny Kortchmar co-produced this song with Joe Nicolo, who was also the engineer. In the '70s, Kortchmar toured and recorded with James Taylor, and also played on popular albums by Jackson Browne, David Crosby/Graham Nash, Linda Ronstadt and many others. Some of his other production credits include the albums Blaze of Glory by Jon Bon Jovi and End Of The Innocence by Don Henley. In our interview with Kortchmar , he talked about his production philosophy, which suited the introspective nature of this track:

"Get the most out of the artists you're working for. And get something that's true to them and that represents them and is also catchy and is going to attract people - attract ears. So it's really just a matter of being true to the artist's original vision of himself, because I'm not one of these people that wants to be a svengali and wants to change somebody into something else."

Joel performed this song at the Grammy Awards ceremony in 1994, where it was up for Record of the Year (it lost to Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"). Joel, backed by a large gospel choir on a set designed to look like a church, used the false ending about two-and-a-half minutes into the song as an opportunity to make a point: instead of waiting a beat and continuing the song, he stopped cold, looked at his watch and said, "Valuable advertising time going by... dollars." Joel later said that he was protesting because producers cut off Frank Sinatra's acceptance speech earlier in the telecast when Sinatra was given a Legend Award.

The video was directed by Andy Morahan, who also did Joel's clip for "The Downeaster Alexa." It was shot in Connecticut; the bridge scenes were done at the Providence & Worcester railroad bridge in Middletown, which crosses the Connecticut River. Joel's daughter, Alexa Ray, and wife, Christie Brinkley, appear in the video along the riverbank with Brinkley painting the album cover.

PYD Lyrics

PYD

This stripped-down Soul jam was released as the seventh promotional single from Justin's #MusicMondays series, a 10-week drive in which he unveiled a new tune every Sunday at midnight. The song finds him collaborating with R. Kelly as the pair share boasts about putting it down with their ladies. The Chicago crooner told Vibe magazine: "[Justin] just called me to do a song and it's hot. He wanted to go and do some R&B stuff so we got together and did that."

"PYD" is shorthand for "Put You Down" and is said to be a play off of Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)."

The song is the raunchiest cut that Bieber has recorded to date. It finds him promising to give his girl the "best you've ever had" and describing all of the places he would like to put her down, which include the:

"Door to the wall
Coffee table girl get ready
From the stove to the countertop
Dining room table."

Kelly heats it up further on the second verse where he promises to be her "dope man in the bedroom."

Justin Bieber told The Hollywood Reporter of the song: "I was going for a modern Boyz II Men sound," he said. "I'm really influenced by R&B, but I love everybody -- from Michael Jackson to The Beatles to, like, Led Zeppelin and Korn."

Kelly told The Sun about this collaboration with Justin: "He's coming over into the R&B world and I welcomed him like 'what up!' We happened to be in the same hotel one day, and we played each other music for like two hours, we talked about getting together and two months later we did it."

All my life, Waiting For Somebody
Ah-ha-ha, come and take my hand
All my life, waiting for somebody
Ah-ha-ha, whoa, yeah

Down so long, doesn't really matter
This downtown home, been kicked and I've been spurred
You comin' along? It does't really matter
I'll go it alone--doesn't even hurt

I'm waitin' for the day, waitin' for the day that you come my way...

I drove down deep, made a big decision
I'm going to sleep--I'm going there alone
I know damn well I'm tired of all this cryin'
On my feet as far as I can tell

Somebody... somebody... somebody... somebody... etc

This song is on the Singles soundtrack. While upbeat, some believe the line "I'm going to sleep, I'm going there alone" refers to suicide, a frequent topic of Westerberg's oeuvre.

Staring at a stop sign
Watching people drive by
T mac on the radio
Got so much on your mind
Nothing's really going right
Looking for a ray of hope

Whatever it is you may be going through
I know he's not gonna let it get the best of you

You're an Overcomer
Stay in the fight 'til the final round
You're not going under
'Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it's hopeless
That's when he reminds you
That you're an overcomer
You're an overcomer

Everybody's been down
Hit the bottom, hit the ground
Ooh, You're not alone
Just take a breath, don't forget
Hang on to his promises
He wants you to know

You're an overcomer
Stay in the fight 'til the final round
You're not going under
'Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it's hopeless
That's when he reminds you
That you're an overcomer
You're an overcomer

The same man, the great I am
The one who overcame death
Is living inside of you
So just hold tight, fix your eyes
On the one who holds your life
There's nothing he can't do
He's telling you

You're an overcomer
Stay in the fight 'til the final round
You're not going under
'Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it's hopeless
That's when he reminds you
That you're an overcomer
You're an overcomer

You're an overcomer
You're an overcomer

See don't quit, don't give in

Overcomer

The title track of Mandisa's Overcomer album was written by Christopher Stevens, David Garcia and Ben Glover in the fall of 2010.

2010 and 2012 BMI Christian Songwriter of the Year, Christopher Stevens has worked with CCM artists TobyMac and Sanctus Real as well as country singers Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood. He has collaborated with David Garcia and Ben Glover on several projects including Christian Hip Hop-R&B-Pop rock duo Group 1 Crew's Fearless album.

This was used as the title song for the Good Morning America series Overcomers, in which host Robin Roberts asked viewers to share their personal stories to the world.

The single proved to be a big hit for Mandisa. It became the 20th tune to top Billboard's Christian Songs chart for at least 10 weeks. It was also the first by a woman to log a reign of double-digit weeks; of the prior 19 such hits, ten were by solo men and nine by male groups or trios.

This won the Grammy Award in 2014 for Best Contemporary Christian Music Song. Overcomer also won for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.

I'm Aquarius Lyrics

Just one fight and just one anniversary
So I never thought you'd be the one to up and leave
You said our love was written in the stars
But I never paid attention to my charms

And now I see how quick you must want to forget
'Cause you left the ring I bought you with your cigarettes
Well I can finish up if you don't want them
And I can take the ring back where I got it from

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

Yeah, I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a Taurus and
I'm Aquarius and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

Never thought about it sentimentally
Never saw just how much you thought I meant to me
Never learned about it in university
Never thought about it 'cause you're the first to see

And I'm aware of the procedure
But normally it's me that leaves her
I guess I'm finished up
It's time to move on
I'm taking the ring back to where I got it from

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
We've had problems, we're
Notorious for them
It's what your friends said, now
You're inside there, now
I've seen our stars but there's
Nothing aligning.
'Cause I'm Aquarius
Yeah, I'm Aquarius

I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius

I'm Aquarius

The first single from Metronomy's Love Letters album finds Joe Mount crooning a tale of doomed romance. "I've seen our stars and there's nothing aligning," he laments. The song was premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on November 11, 2013.

Continuing the astral theme, the song was made available through an astronomy app called The Night Sky app, which was activated when the user found the Aquarius constellation in the sky. It was made available exclusively for one week to existing and new users of the app.

The video was directed by Edouard Salier, who previously helmed Justice's "Civilization" music clip. It finds frontman Joseph Mount encountering a goddess and hairless cats on an alien planet. "It's so hard to create an original science fiction movie since the whole genre's been mopped around in every direction," said Salier. "I wanted to do something very slow and contemplative, taking place in a very colourful and artistic universe."

Joe Mount told NME the background to this song: "I'm a Virgo," he said, "but there's a nice tradition of these songs from the 60s when astrology was a really cool thing to sing about, like, 'Aquarius,' (by The 5th Dimension), that I wanted to be part of."

Mount expanded on the song to NME: "Astrology, I don't believe in," he said, laughing. "I like spiritual people, I like people that believe that Jupiter is doing something that is relevant to them. I like how self-centered that is!"

"I wrote it as a soulful pop song and never imagined I would be the one to sing it." Mount continued. "I wanted to write a word the song that was about a breakup and someone basically blaming it on the planets, not on the fact that they are not very good in relationships."

Mount sent the song to Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, who he worked with on her debut solo album Cinderella Eyes. He told The Sun: "I realise I'm lucky now that I got to keep it. It's a song that stayed with me and it works so well on this album."

Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes (say yes, say yes, say yes, say)

I'm sorry it took me so long,
I'm sorry it took me so long,
(to come around, to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long

Your famous last words started once your
Fingers hit the snooze,
"Just nine more minutes please" (and they)
They all know where to find me
And the word that I said
"what a big mistake"
And the words you let out ("keeping me away")
Well I will never make another promise
(without you)
Well I will never make another promise
(with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long
(to go around, to go around)
I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long

Well there's a secret I've been perfecting,
That's what I wondered "would you let me"
I'm comfortably confused (and you)
You've gotten so removed
You know I, I could take the friends of those filth
Ocean blue, paint em white now
(ohh you're gonna fall tonight)
Well I will never make another promise
(without you)
I will never make another promise
(with you in mind)

So pace the stairs the stairs to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)
So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like that's where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)

Oh we would paint your sins on the ceiling
I keep them glued to my chest
It keeps me close like a promise kept
(say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)
If I talk in my sleep, then you just keep trying
I like it enough if you just keep trying
If I choke in my sleep
If I choke in my sleep
(say yes say yes say yes say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long
(say yes say yes say yes say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long

So pace the steps to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be

Set Phasers To Stun

This is about a relationship that has just ended. The guy in the song has suspected it all along but he didn't dare confront his girlfriend about it until she told him. The chorus is him saying, "Fine, you go hang around your apartment like you really want to be there, but you're really miserable."

The title is a phrase often said on Star Trek when they needed their weapons, but didn't want to use deadly force.

The album title comes from the line in this song, "So pace the stairs to your apartment, like it's where you want to be."
