Los Angeloser lyrics by Meat Loaf

Los Angeloser lyrics by Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf is back with a new album, Hang Cool Teddy Bear, and this time its actually worth a listen unlike his last album Bat out of Hell 3 which did not have the magic of the prior albums. 

The new lead single is Los Angeloser, and it's very different for Meat Loaf, its not quite a piss take lyrically but more a  dry take or cheeky wit on how one's life could possibly turn out...

Los Angeloser lyrics

I wrote you this poem
I'd like to dedicate it to you

I'm just a white boy
I play the guitar
I put my pants on
I drive a shit car
Up into the valley
To see my girlfriend
She's got a big couch
She's got a Mercedes Benz

Sing hallelujah
My glass is half full
She pours me champagne
She drinks a Red Bull
And she says 'darling
One thing thing you got to understand
As long as I am satisfied
Well, you will always be my man

You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll empty all my pockets and I give you what I can
You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll give you all the love that I can

Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
I'll give you all the love that I can

Oh yeah
We got the sunshine
We got the good friends
We [do-si-do] and all the time
Out in the wilderness
She always looks fine
She's gonna be the one to make it
And I'll be two steps behind

You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll empty all my pockets and I give you what I can
You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll give you all the love that I can

Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
Los Angeloser
I'll give you all the love that I can

Now check this out
I say this
I say this with the deepest appreciation for all you ladies out there
Especially the ones who've shown a little love for someone such as myself
You believed in me
Loved me
If it wasn't for you
There would be no... me

I thank you baby
The way you save me
I would repay you
But I'm too lazy

I thank you baby
The way you save me
I would repay you
But I'm too lazy

You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll empty all my pockets and I give you what I can
You know that I, I'll give you all the love that have
I'll give you all the love that I have
I wrote you this poem
I'd like to dedicate it to you

Only the Ocean Lyrics Jack Johnson

Only the Ocean Lyrics Jack Johnson

Only the Ocean is featured on  Jack Johnson's album To the Sea.

Lyrics:

After all this time


After all of this season

After your own decision to go to the water for a reason

It's only the ocean and you

And all of this lines

Will all be erased soon

They'll go out with the tide

And come back with the waves

It's only the ocean and you

You don't want

You don't wait

You don't love but you don't hate

You just roll over me

And you pull me in


And this work is done

And this cold is dry

When this world's too much

It will be only the ocean and me

When this sales go off

Mountanis fade away

Stars come back

I'm finaly free

It's only the ocean and me


You don't want

You don't wait

You don't love but you don't hate

You just roll over me

And you pull me in

And you pull me in

You don't want

You don't wait

You don't love but you don't hate

You just roll right over me

And you pull me in

And you pull me in...


You just roll over me

And you pull me in

Anything But the Truth Lyrics Jack Johnson

Anything But the Truth Lyrics Jack Johnson

Anything But the Truth is featured on  Jack Johnson's album To the Sea.

Lyrics:


If they tell me that the bees

Don't make honey anymore

Then what am I supposed to tell you

And if they tell me that the ocean

Is tired of her shores

Then tell me

What am I supposed to tell you



When I can't tell you anything

But the truth



When I can't tell you anything

But the truth



What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm

How does the mama

Keep the baby warm

What if the wind

Is telling us that its time

And what if we're not ready to fly



I can't tell you anything

But the truth

I can't tell you anything

But the truth



Tree tops they touch the ground

In the morning walk with no sound

Hear no birds, hear no planes

Through the mud, feel the clay

Build it up, make it sing



But I can't tell you anything

But the truth



Buth I can't tell you anything

But the truth



What is this place

Who am I

Why did we come here



I don't know I don't know

But I don't know

That we're meant to know



I don't know I don't know

But I don't know

That we're meant to know

Pictures of People Taking Pictures Lyrics Jack Johnson

Pictures of People Taking Pictures Lyrics Jack Johnson

Pictures of People Taking Pictures is featured on  Jack Johnson's album To the Sea.

Lyrics:


Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

I pictured us at the end of time
Holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the back ground of the picture
Was water running to the sea

So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

The feed back loop
Is closing in so tight
Surrounding ourselves
With satellites

But I picture us standing there
Staying away from time
Just watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures.........
I pictured us at the end of time
Taking pictures of nothing

My Little Girl Lyrics Jack Johnson

 

My Little Girl  is featured on  Jack Johnson's album To the Sea. It's a sweet love song to Jack's baby daughter.

Download the track here or get the entire album from Amazon.

Lyrics:

Hey little girl ,you might not know this song.

This is not the kind of song that you can sing along.

Hey little girl maybe some day.

At least thats what all the good people will say


Hey little girl, you've gone and stole my heart and made it your own

You stole my heart and made it your own.

Hey little girl black and white and right and wrong.

Only live inside a song i will sing to you.

You don't ever have to feel lonely you will never lose any tears.

You don't have to feel any sadness when you look back on the years.

How can I look you in the eyes and tell you such big lies?

The best I can do is try to show you how to love with no fear.

My little girl.

You've gone and stole my heart and made it your own you stole my heart and made it your own.

Lyrics:


I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go

But it's time to turn your love
Give it back [x2]
Give it back...

I don't want you to know
Let's not go sleep tonight
It's not that it goes too fast
It's just that it goes at all

And it's time to turn your love
Give it back [x3]
Give it back...

Why should I be sad when I'm just you? ?
Why should I be sad? Baby, I'm with you [x2]
Baby, I'm with you...

And it's time to turn your love
Give it back [x3]
Give it back...

Give it back, give it back, give it back...

The Upsetter Lyrics Jack Johnson

The Upsetter Lyrics Jack Johnson

The Upsetter  is featured on  Jack Johnson's album To the Sea.

Lyrics:


Some will say
This place is wrong
These hands are fast
This face is long
Just stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on

These plans are torn
These feet are cold
This shield is worn
This peace was stolen
Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on
These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you're asleep
They'll be here still
Breathing out or in

Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden
Just stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on
These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you're asleep
They'll be here still
Breathing out or in
