We gonna grab the mics and get 'em off the walls
So everybody you need to stop snoring

We gonna grab the mics and get 'em off the walls
So everybody you need to stop snoring

Let's get into trouble, lots of trouble
Rock star, you know how to rock hard
Hello midnight lover, lover
Hold that lady tighter
Shoot that bullet through her

My heart beats just like a cherry soda
In the summer
Go, go, go don't be difficult about it
Get off it

Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Throw that boy)
Against the wall, Retro Physical
Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Work that boy)
So sexual, Retro Physical

Let's get down to business, Funny Business
In the middle of the night when
things start to get feisty
Don't forget your money, little honey
There are killers and blonde bunnies
They dance for money

My heart beats just like a cherry soda
In the summer
Go, go, go don't be difficult about it
Get off it

Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Throw that boy)
Against the wall, Retro Physical
Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Work that boy)
So sexual, Retro Physical

Everyone is famous
Running where they lay and they sleep??
We dance for the garage team
In between the spaces, happiness can trace us down
We're not gonna leave this town
In between the spaces, happiness can trace us down
We're not gonna leave this town

We gonna grab the mics and get 'em off the walls
So everybody you need to stop snoring

We gonna grab the mics and get 'em off the walls
So everybody you need to stop snoring

Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Throw that boy)
Against the wall, Retro Physical
Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Work that boy)
So sexual, Retro Physical

Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Throw that boy)
Against the wall, Retro Physical
Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Work that boy)
So sexual, Retro Physical

Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Throw that boy)
Against the wall, Retro Physical
Off the wall (Getcho ass)
Off the wall (Work that boy)
So sexual, Retro Physical

    this is one of my fav lady gaga songs, even though the quality is crap and it hasnt been released in its entirety. >=(

    I think its about bein at a club and a girl demanding the guy be more assertive with his sexuality. It has a real 'stop bein lazy and lets DO THIS' attitude.

    I cant BELIEVE it got leaked!! I lovelovelove it! THANKYOU gaga and whoever leaked it!


    Let's get down to business, Funny Business In the middle of the night he starts to get feisty lets get into trouble, lots of trouble There are killers and blond bunnies They dance for money

    I think this basically means, lets hurry and have sex (get down to business) "there are killers and blond bunnies, they dance for money" = blond bunnies = blond playboy models(bunnies) something about how they kill and dance for money (idk if she meant kill in a physical sense though)


    Everyone is famous Running around real aimlessly We dance for the garage team

    i think she mite be referring to how everyone feels famous, but there not so there just in this sorta state of mind (thefame mind state) while not really doing anything but running around aimlessly. idk what we dance for the garage team means lol

    the song is real fun, its not supposed to be vary deep so dont worry about it, just listen to it and have fun (like allot of gaga songs) =P

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
