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

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.

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

From the Clouds Lyrics Jack Johnson

From the Clouds  is featured on  Jack Johnson's album To the Sea which you can buy here: To the Sea

Lyrics:


Oh, you're such a pretty thing, I'll take you and I'll make you all mine.

I will steal you from this patient world that'll chase us, it could never take you back.
[Chorus]
We could watch it from the clouds
We can't stop it anyhow, it's not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds
We can't stop it anyhow, it's not ours.
It's not ours.

And I know you know me well enough to know I'm lucky to have you.
But all this just the little things, the words that I should tell you all the time.
You're so sweet to me when you beat me in doubles solitaire.
You're so sweet to me in a world that's not always fair.
[Chorus]
We could watch it from the clouds
We can't stop it anyhow, it's not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds
We can't stop it anyhow, it's not ours.

More that you feel
More your little heart will ache.
Love's the only thing that carries on
It's the only thing this world can't take.
This love is ours.
This love is ours.
This love is oooohoohoohoohoo x 2

When I Look Up Lyrics Jack Johnson

When I Look Up Lyrics Jack Johnson

When I look up is featured on  Jack Johnson's album To the Sea.

Lyrics:

When I look up at the stars

As I walk in the night

Down the street by my house

It feels good

When I look up at the stars

As I walk in the night

Down the street by my house

It feels good

The light from the moon

Is afraid of the ground

So it falls behind spaces

And hides behind clouds

When I look up at the clouds

As they move through the night

With the wind

As I walk down the street

The light from the moon

Is afraid of the ground

So I step on the shadows

Of my own feet

No Good With Faces is a the second track on Jack Johnson's album To the Sea.

Lyrics:


No good with faces
 Check out the lyrics to Johnson's You and Your Heart


And I'm bad with names

Gave me directions

But it's all the same

I'm lost

I'm too tired to try

Street lamps are broken

Black the way I came

Who broke the moonlight

Watch it wax and wane

I'm lost

I'm too tired to try

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now

There's no need for rain

Its our own parade

Let's not be afraid of our reflections

Its not only you

You're looking at now

Road signs were stolen

Left here holding this flame

Who stole my patience

Who stole my way

I'm lost

I'm too tired to try

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now

There's no need for rain

Its our own parade

Let's not be afraid of our reflections

Its not only you

You're looking at now

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now

There's no need for rain

Its our own parade

Let's not be afraid of our reflections

Its not only you

You're looking at now

Who you looking at now

Who you looking at now

No good with faces

And I'm bad with names

Gave me directions

But it's all the same

I'm lost

I'm too tired to try

Lyrics Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology Jack Johnson

Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology


Lyrics by Jack Johnson from the To the Sea album.


Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology:


Everybody is made of clay
That's what they used to say
Until the truth stepped on us all
Now everything that was big is small
We're just little crying robots
Program me
I wanna win the race
I wanna find the place
Where the king
Locked up the princess
Jump the fence
And drink a little bit of...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now who is the king of the sky
Jupiter says oh me oh my oh why
Is the game always changing
I've been through some strangeness
what's the matter
Is the feast not fat enough
Up the ladder with your feet
Reaching with your hands
You can feel it and dream it
I know you want to believe it
Just steal it
Take a piece of the sun
And drink some...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now everybody's in the play
At least that's what the script
Told me to say
It said:
Shadows cut across the hero's face
He falls from grace
Until a little bird sang:
The truth is never ending
We're just here pretending
Let's all laugh so that we don't cry
Let's all life our glasses up to the sky
For some...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology
