Samson, Shimshon (Hebrew: שמשון, Modern Shimshon Tiberian Šimšôn, meaning "man of the sun"); Shamshoun (Arabic: شمشون) or Sampson (Greek: Σαμψών) is the third to last of the Judges of the ancient Israelites mentioned in the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) (Book of Judges chapters 13 to 16).
Samson was granted supernatural strength by God in order to combat his enemies and perform heroic feats such as wrestling a lion, slaying an entire army with only the jawbone of an ass, and destroying a pagan temple. Samson is believed to have been buried in Tel Tzora in Israel overlooking the Sorek valley. There reside two large gravestones of Samson and his father Manoah. Nearby stands Manoah’s altar (Judges 13:19-24). It is located between the cities of Zorah and Eshtaol.
Samson's activity takes place during a time when God was punishing the Israelites, by giving them "into the hand of the Philistines". The Angel of the Lord appears to Manoah, an Israelite from the tribe of Dan, in the city of Zorah, and to his wife, who had been unable to conceive. The Angel of the Lord proclaims that the couple will soon have a son who will begin to deliver the Israelites from the Philistines. The wife believed the Angel of the Lord, but her husband wasn't present, at first, and wanted the heavenly messenger to return, asking that he himself could also receive instruction about the child that was going to be born.
Regina Ilyinichna Spektor (Russian: Реги́нa Ильи́нична Спе́ктор, IPA: [rʲɪˈɡʲinə ˈspʲɛktər], English: /rɨˈdʒiːnə ˈspɛktər/; born February 18, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered in New York City's East Village.
Spektor was born in Moscow, Soviet Union in 1980 to a musical Russian Jewish family. Her father, Ilya Spektor, is a photographer and amateur violinist. Her mother, Bella Spektor, was a music professor in a Soviet college of music and now teaches at a public elementary school in Mount Vernon, New York. She has a brother Barry (Bear), who was featured in track 7, "* * *", or "Whisper", of her 2004 album, Soviet Kitsch.
She learned how to play piano by practising on a Petrof upright that was given to her mother by her grandfather. She was also exposed to the music of rock and roll bands such as The Beatles, Queen, and The Moody Blues by her father, who obtained such recordings in Eastern Europe and traded cassettes with friends in the Soviet Union. The family left the Soviet Union in 1989, when Regina was nine and a half, during the period of Perestroika, when Soviet citizens were permitted to emigrate. Regina had to leave her piano behind. The seriousness of her piano studies led her parents to consider not leaving the USSR, but they finally decided to emigrate, due to the ethnic and political discrimination that Jews faced. Spektor is fluent in Russian and reads Hebrew, and has since paid tribute to her Russian heritage, quoting the poem February by the Russian poet Boris Pasternak in her song Après Moi, and stating “I’m very connected to the language and the culture.”

Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, airline pilot, fencer, broadcaster, author, screenwriter, actor and former marketing director, best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
Dickinson began his career in music fronting small pub bands at school and University, including Styx (not the American band of the same name) in 1976, Speed, (1977–1978), and Shots in early 1979. He then joined the band Samson later in 1979, where he gained some popularity under the stage name, "Bruce Bruce." He left Samson in 1981 to join Iron Maiden as their new vocalist, replacing Paul Di'Anno, and debuting on their 1982 album The Number of the Beast. During his first tenure in the band, they issued a series of high impact releases, resulting in Dickinson gaining worldwide fame, and becoming one of the most acclaimed heavy metal vocalists of all time.
Dickinson quit Iron Maiden in 1993 in order to pursue his solo career, being replaced by Blaze Bayley, which saw him experiment with a wide variety of heavy metal and rock styles. Dickinson rejoined the band in 1999 along with guitarist Adrian Smith, with whom he released four subsequent studio albums. Since his return to Iron Maiden, Dickinson issued one further solo record in 2005, Tyranny of Souls. He is the older cousin of Rob Dickinson, former lead singer of British alternative rock band Catherine Wheel. His son, Austin, is the lead singer in metalcore band Rise to Remain. On 19 July 2011, Dickinson was presented with an honorary music doctorate from Queen Mary College, in honour of his contribution to the music industry.

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread
And went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
The Bible didn't mention us
Not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But there just told light, there just told light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
He told me I was beautiful
And came into my bed
Oh, I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me till the morning light
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread
And went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
Not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
(Written by Lew DeWitt)
Oh Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man
I've heard it said you killed a lion with your hands
And when the people of Phillistia raised your ire
Ain't you the man who set their fields on fire.
You faced an army of Phillistines all alone
And didn't you tear at their flesh with just a bone
So tell me Samson if these things I hear are true
How could you let a woman get the best of you.
I've heard it said you were the best of many men
That you could tear a city gate right off it's hinge
And that the strongest rope just could not hold you bound
And you completly tore one temple down.
How could you let yourself get caught in such disgrace
You got the best of every man you ever faced
And after all the mighty enemies you slew
How could you let a women get the best of you.
You've battled many a man till he has turned and fled
Then turned around and let a woman turn your head
You loved the best, my man, but you were bound to fall
By the very thing that you loved best of all.
Oh Samson it's been said you were a mighty man
And women were your weakneess this I understand
But after all the mighty armies you went through
How could you let a woman get the best of you.
Oh Samson it's been said you were a mighty man
And women were your weakneess this I understand
But after all the mighty armies you went through
How could you let a woman get the best of you.
How could you let Delihla get the best of you...
Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man
I've heard it said you killed a lion with your hands
And when the people of Philistia raised your Ire
Ain't you the man who set their fields on fire?
You faced an army of Philistines all alone
And didn't you tear at their flesh with just a bone?
So tell me, Samson, if these things I hear are true
How could you let a woman get the best of you?
I've heard it said you were the best of many men
That you could tear a city gate right off it's hinge
And that the strongest rope just could not hold you bound
And you completely tore one temple down
How could you let yourself get caught in such disgrace?
You got the best of every man you ever faced
And after all the mighty enemies you slew
How could you let a women get the best of you?
You've battled many a man till he has turned and fled
Then turned around and let a woman turn your head
You loved the best, my man, but you were bound to fall
By the very thing that you loved best of all
Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man
And women were your weakness, this I understand
But after all the mighty armies you went through
How could you let a woman get the best of you?
Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man
And women were your weakness, this I understand
But after all the mighty armies you went through
How could you let a woman get the best of you?
I know we can work it out
Spend some time to talk it out
I know it will all work it out if you say so
All work out if you say so
Please don't you rush about
If you don't know that I'm down and out
I know it will all work it out if you say so
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
Me and Samson go to the store
And ole Samson leaves craters in the floor
Me and Samson walk around town
And clumsy Samson knocked several buildings down
Me and Samson we're best of friends
Me and Samson until the end
Me and Samson go on a double date
But you know it didn't turn out that great
Me and my date are romantically impaired
But ole Samson he lost all of his hair
Me and Samson we're best of friends
Me and Samson until the end
There is this girl and her name is Delilah
She's a Philistine and she's such a big liar
There is this girl and her name is Delilah
She's a Philistine and she's such a big liar
Me and Samson are no longer friends
Cause ole Samson has met his end
Man, I'd really hate to burst your bubble
But it goes to show you
GIRLS ARE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE!
Me and Samson were best of friends
Me and Samson until the end
There is this girl and her name is Delilah
She's a Philistine and she's such a big liar
There is this girl and her name is Delilah
Koliko puta zelis reci da je kraj,
Da vise ne mozes da slusas sta ti govore.
Zivot je kratak, vreme brzo prolazi,
Uzvrati udarce, jer kasno je za kajanje.
Duga kosa uvek im je smetala,
Tvoj simbol zivota njima je iluzija.
Vekovi ce proci, al' ce jedno ostati,
Ratnici smo bili-bili I ostali!
Kao Samson, sa macem u ruci bori se!
Ukroti lavove!
Kao Samson, sa snagom u kosi bori se!
I'm the lion, king of the jungle
following my food home
Hunting around for some real life
Don't want to know where any fool knows
[CHORUS:]
Nobody understands me
Don't talk to me, I can't see
You're nailing my brain to a tree
Why can't you just let me be
If I wrote these words on paper
You would strangle them in your hands
Then sail on in your burning boats
into your promised land
[REPEAT CHORUS:]
[SOLO]
[REPEAT CHORUS (fade out)]
Gotta bar lean, I'm looking mean
I need a drink, I've gotta drink to think
You say I'm drunk but that's me in the mirror
Looking for a fight who says "..."
Come and hit me, falling to the ground
Knee me in the groin, won't make a sound
Head over heels for a fight with you
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two
[CHORUS:]
You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going down
You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going
Now I'm going down
Back to the wall and out for the count
Rock and reel, do you know how I feel?
Swim in swinging I'm blind as an eel
Don't you push cause I'm coming back
You come and hit me, falling to the ground
Knee me in the groin, won't make a sound
Head over heels for a fight with you
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[SOLO]
You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going down
You know in my life, I've been a fighting man
Hard times hit me, now I'm going down
[REPEAT CHORUS]
A story is told that in Asgard of old
was a hammer of great might
By the furnace light in the depth of night
they cast an ingot bold
Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind [x2]
They hammered on wrought and the rune spell caught
and engraved upon it's shaft
With a head of steel beneath which all men would kneel
and would lay down the sword at last
Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind [x2]
[STICK:]
They laid on the anvil, a steel cold bar
Needing no fire nor file
But their sledgehammers following, like thunder rolled
And Sindre, sang runes by the fire
[SOLO]
[REPEAT STICK]
Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind [x4]
Walking out on you [x2]
Easy chairs and an easy life
That's what I want from you
Just one rich bitch for an easy wife
Don't wanna do nothing new
Walking out on you [x2]
Loving you came so easily
When you laid your money down
Wouldn't bite the hand that was feeding me
Until you'd pay for my crown
[SOLO]
Living free came so easily
When you laid your body down
I led the way and you gave to me
Everything you ever had
Walking out on you [4x]
She was a real two timer
She knew I'd never leave
She thought that she could make it
I could never believe
[STICK:]
She looked so healthy
and she looked so clean
But when she got to bite you
was she mean
Vice versa, vice versa
[VERSE TWO:]
She could roll you over
and make you blind
She could say things to astound
the dirtiest mind
She looked so healthy
and she looked so clean
But when she got to bite her
was she mean
[SOLO]
Vice versa, vice versa
[SOLO]
[REPEAT VERSE TWO]
[REPEAT STICK]
Vice versa, vice versa [x2]
Turning you around
We had you trained to be so classical
Yes and you learned to play the guitar at school
But now we've caught you, you've been playing the fool
We don't think your musical taste is cool
[CHORUS:]
You were too close to rock and roll
I paid for the teacher so I own your soul
Move out of the house, you can't use the car
You spend your lectures just drinking in the college bar
You don't wanna get a job, you won't get far
Pretty soon you're gonna come home, gonna need your Ma and Pa
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[SOLO]
Too close to rock and roll
I paid for the man I own your soul
Leading me on you've been a bad bad boy
Betcha since you've been a kid, you've been a mama's toy
Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Too close to, too close to, too close to
Too close to rock and roll
[Instrumental]
Coming down to earth, and smiling cause you know I know
The mother ship has left you bleeding in the cold
I need a revelation open up and come with me
Take me to your leader, got a problem, want it solved
[CHORUS:]
Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes
Watcher of the skies
Look into my eyes
I'm looking around and I wanna be up there [x2]
You taught me how to fly, I'm getting high I wanna cry
I can feel your saucer bur into my soul
I need a revelation open up and come with me
Take me to your leader, got a problem, want it solved
[REPEAT CHORUS]
I'm looking around and I wanna be up there [x2]
[SOLO]
Going home tonight, to bathe in everlasting light
The image in the starlight burns into my brain
I knew your astral plain was laying down the way for me
Take me to your leader, got a problem, want it solved
[REPEAT CHORUS (x2)]
Leading me on you've been a bad bad boy
Betcha since you've been a kid, you've been a mama's toy
I'm gonna teach you, you're gonna learn
Don't fool with me, I'm gonna make you burn
Little boy blue take off your shoe
Just come a little closer so my aim is true
But I don't wanna do it, gonna make you hop
It's hurting me, Is it hurting you?
[CHORUS:]
Take it like a man
Oh, gonna do it all I can
Take it like a man
Oh, gonna do it all I can
Peeking at you, looking at you through the wall
Wanting you, your body looking so small
Teasing me, saying you are gonna do it
Touching me, loving me and lead me to it
Anytime, you wanna lay me, come and fetch it
Pretty tight, money maker never gets it
S-s-s-say you will, I'll welcome you to my place
Come inside, helping me to get it out
Open up, let me in I'm knocking for you
Looking out, no-one about to call for you
Get it up, walking out in early morning
Time to go, can I come again tomorrow?
[CHORUS:]
Hold tight, take the reins
Pushing harder feel the pain
Manwatcher, it's alright
Manwatcher , came tonight
Manwatcher , take the blame
Manwatcher , on the game
[SOLO]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Samson was a comfortable racehorse
Samson was an easy ride
Samson was born to be a racehorse
Samson gave us a pony and died
And one day Samson he kicked to the left
Samson he kicked to the right
Samson he kicked out the door
Samson he kicked out his light
He was a thoroughbred
Who knew his time had come
So when the boy pulled the trigger he was ready to go
Here come Delila
She was screaming at the sun
But it's alright
He said it's alright with him
It's alright, it was alright with him
Delila, fell in love in the summertime
But Samson had too much pride
So she loved him
From a distance
She called him black electra-glide
And one day Samson, he turned to the left
Samson he turned to the right
Something was moving through the grass
Something spooky and tight
It was a rattlesnake striking out from the bushes
And Samson was a hero only just in time
Said Delila
I want to be with you forever
If it's alright
And it was alright with him
And it was alright
It was alright with him
They called him Samson
Because his mane was long
And he was carved out of muscle
He was big and strong
We'll build a statue
So he can be with us always
And it's alright
I know it's alright with him
It's alright
I know it's alright with him
Samson grew old in the winter
But Samson still lived for the racing days
But there were rumors
Flying round the racetrack
They were putting him out to graze
So one day Samson he kicked to the left
Samson he kicked to the right
Samson wouldn't wait for the doctor
Samson couldn't live through the night
He was a thoroughbred
Who knew his time had come
And a bullet would be quicker than a broken heart
And Delila, she was carrying his son
So it's alright
It was alright with him
I know it's alright
It's alright with him
He said it's alright
