Former DMZ members Coraccio, Murphy, and Peter Greenberg all rejoined Connolly in Lyres at some point from 1979 to the early 2000s. The A-Bones drummer Miriam Linna, (a former drummer for The Cramps) and then A-Bones, Yo La Tengo and former Lyres bass player Mike Lewis filled-in with Lyres for a show in 1986. Stiv Bators of The Dead Boys and Lords of the New Church, and Wally Tax of The Outsiders also recorded with Lyres in the late 1980s.
Lyres were less active in 1989, due to Conolly living in California for a brief period. After a renewed period of activity in the early 1990s, the band went through a dormant period until 1999. The band has been playing regularly during the last two years. Conolly is the one member who has been in every lineup during the large number of Lyres personnel changes. In 2009, Lyres played at the Go Sinner So festival in Madrid and an additional date in Porto Nuovo. This line-up included a fill-in Peter Greenberg on guitar.
I Can Tell
Lyres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I bloody can
Been told too many times
I cant do this or that
Been there done it now
And there aint no looking back
I'm tired of the same routine
Looking for a yes out here
To hell with all the sour notes.
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Seems like youre not hearin
What's coming from my lips
Left and right swayin
To avoid my fingertip
Looks like the same sad stare
That plagues me day by day
Its all in the way that I say
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
You might seem to have some give in what I think say and do
In fact you're not so wrong
I'm a really big fan of you
Everytime you say no way
Looking like a shame to know
Making my cauldron burn baby
As the embers glow hot below ugh guess what
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
Yes I bloody can
The lyrics to Lyres's song "I Can Tell" are about empowerment and the desire to break away from the limitations imposed by society. The singer has been told too many times that he can't do something, and he's tired of it. He's done with the same routine that everyone else is following and is looking for a way out. He wants to hear a resounding "yes" to his ideas, and he's willing to leave the negativity behind. The repetition of "Yes I bloody can" highlights the singer's determination to succeed and overcome the doubts that have been imposed on him.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of communication and how misinterpretations can lead to misunderstandings. The singer feels like they're not being heard, and when they try to communicate, they're met with resistance. The lines "Looks like the same sad stare/ That plagues me day by day" indicate the frustration of feeling misunderstood, and the desire for someone to listen and understand their perspective. The repetition of "Yes I bloody can" takes on a different meaning in this context, as the singer is trying to emphasize that they are capable of expressing themselves and being heard.

🎤 Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, 21 Savage - Creepin' Lyrics:
[Intro]
(Just can't believe this, man)
(Metro Boomin want some more, nigga)
[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me
And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
I think about it when I hold you
When lookin' in your eyes, I can't believe
And I don't need to know the truth
Baby, keep it to yourself
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
[Bridge: Mario Winans, The Weeknd, Both]
Did he touch you better than me? (Touch you better than me)
Did he watch you fall asleep? (Watch you fall asleep)
Did you show him all those things, that you used to do to me?
If you're better off that way (Better off that way)
There ain't more that I can say (More that I can say)
Just go on and do your thing and don't come back to me
[Verse 3: 21 Savage]
Woah, woah, woah, 21
Had me crushin', I was cuffin' like the precinct
How you go from housewife to a sneaky link?
Got you riding 'round in all type of Benzes and Rovers
Girl, you used to ride in the rinky dink
I'm the one put you in Eliantte (On God)
Fashion Nova model, I put you on the runway (On God)
You was rockin' Coach bags, got you Chane'-ne'
Side bitch in Frisco, I call her my Bay-bae (21)
I got a girl but I still feel alone (On God)
If you playin' me that mean my home ain't home (On God)
Havin' nightmares of goin' through your phone (21)
Can't even record, you got me out my zone
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
[Outro: 21 Savage & The Weeknd]
If you creepin', just don't let me find out (On God)
Get a hotel, never bring 'em to the house (On God)
If you're better off that way
Baby, all that I can say
If you're gonna do your thing, then don't come back to me
