Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
(Let it rock)
(Let it rock)
(Let it rock)
I see your dirty face, hide behind your collar
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God to justify the way
You live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well, you made your bed
I made mine
Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Now the son's disgraced, he who knew his father
When he cursed his name, turned and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart, so he stuck his middle finger
To the world, to the world, to the world
And you take your time
And you stand in line
Well, you'll get what's yours
I got mine
Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Yeah
Wayne's World, Planet Rock
Panties drop, and the tops
And she gon' rock 'til the camera stop
I sing about angels like Angela
(Rock) And Pamela
(Rock) And Samantha
(Rock) And Amanda
And Tamara, ménage à moi
I'm in here like, "Bitch, what's up?"
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can dick you up, I can dick you down
Shorty, we can go wherever, just pick a town
And my jewelry is louder than an engine sound
Big ass rocks like on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground
Weezy
Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Just let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Let it rock
Let it rock
I'm back like I forgot somethin', I'm somethin'
Rulin' rock rubbin' rap runnin'
Miles like it's tryna get a flat stomach
Like Wayne a personal trainer
My aim is perfect, I'll bang ya
Period, like the reminder
And I wish I could be as cruel as you
And I wish I could say the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No, not this time
(Let it rock)
(Let it rock)
I see your dirty face, hide behind your collar
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God to justify the way
You live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well, you made your bed
I made mine
Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Now the son's disgraced, he who knew his father
When he cursed his name, turned and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart, so he stuck his middle finger
To the world, to the world, to the world
And you take your time

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
I see your dirty face High behind your collar When picking his apostles, Jesus didn't know who was going to betray him, although it was prophesied in Zechariah 11:12 about Jesus being betrayed for 30pcs of silver. However after observing his apostles, he figured it out. (John 13:2) Contrary to popular belief-the last supper only included 11 apostles, not 12. Jesus dismissed Judas and the convenant was with the 11 remaining faithful ones. (John 13:21-30)
What is done in vain Truth is hard to swallow So you pray to God To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie Judas was greedy. His greed overtook him, like his father, (Behavior wise) Satan. He betrayed Jesus and now he knows that God is going to destroy him forever. That is very hard to swallow. Also the Pharisees and Saducees had to swallow it. That's why they didn't put the money in the temple treasury. It's blood money. They knew that Jesus was the Messiah because of their greed, they rejected him and had the people do so to. Furthermore, Judas tried to hang himself, but God caused the branch to break and died a horrible death. Too, the Saducees and Pharisees bought a field with that money-Potter's grave-to make things "right." They were living a lie. (Acts 1:18 and Matthew 27:5-7)
And you take your time And you do your crime Well you made your bed I'm in mine Judas and the priests plotted and schemed in an effort to betray Jesus. Their bed is everlasting death, while Jesus is in Heaven.
Because when I arrive I bring the fire Make you come alive I can take you higher What is this, forgot? (I believe this says, With the sins forgot) I must now remind you Let It Rock Let It Rock Let It Rock Jesus will return as King of God's Kingdom and those not living in harmony with God's will not reap their due. Those who are will reap an award. We all need reminding of this fact.
Now the son's discrased He, who knew his father When he cursed his name Turned, and chased the dollar But it broke his heart So he stuck his middle finger To the world To the world To the world Deuteronomy 21:23 says, "Accursed is the one hanging on a stake." Jesus was disgraced because they said he blasphemed and misrepresenting who he actually was. Judas and the priests undoubtedly knew who Jesus was and still didn't repent of his of sins. Another common misconception is that Judas felt sorry that why he hung himself. He just felt remorse under the burden of guilt.
I wish I could be As cool as you And I wish I could say The things you do But I can't and I won't live a lie No not this time This verse could be construed as sarcastic. He can't say and do the things that Lil' Wayne or the majority of this world is doing. He's standing out as a righteous one.
