Ayheee

Dave Matthews Band

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now

Praise god who has many names
but the devil has many more
with the love that my mother gave me
I'm gonna drop the devil to the floor
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees

Sometimes I wish that my people were comin'
I'd love myself, I'd find me some cover
Rain in the top the top leave me covered
It's something it's just what you crave, you know it!

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah
come on now

Walkin' along in this craze of confusion
Sometimes I can look
but sometimes you doubt all my steps
it's the weight that's above the shoulders
now come on, I will, come, I will, come I will
so I came

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

Brother, Sister
Brother, Sister

Praise god who has many names
But the devil has many more
And with the love that my mother gave me
I'm gonna drop the devil to the floor
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees

I've seen evolution, my people have come to believe
that we are the traitors, the cheaters
We pray with this a collection of cells
We parade with ourselves

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

Drop the devil to his knees
Drop the devil to his knees

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

Somebody gonna save the world... ayhee yeah...

ayheee yeah
I'm a liar
ahyee ah yeah ha
come on now.

    the lyrics to the chanting "ayhee" part are incorrect here.. it's more along the lines of

    "ah, ee hee, ay amunaya ey ey ah yeh hey amuna"

    there is no "i'm a liar" or "come on now" it's not words, it's chanting. next time you get a chance, find a video of him explaining the song or either buy the live at radio city dvd or cd..

    it's dave's rendition of the way the the coy san (sp?) people of africa sang, and how they sang music without words, only chanting.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
