Brick by Brick, released in June 1990, is the 10th album by the American singer Iggy Pop. After attracting mixed reviews for much of his 1980s output, Pop hired longtime Stooges fan Don Was as producer, who would later produce Avenue B, and opted for a hard-rock sound. Many songs on the album incorporate a lyrical theme of the United States facing dangers of cultural decay and implosion. Slash and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses fame were featured on the album as songwriters and performers. The cover was drawn by American cartoonist Charles Burns. The album's personnel includes studio musicians Waddy Wachtel and Kenny Aronoff. The album is the first studio album that features Pop contributing guitar. He plays a majority of the guitar parts along with Wachtel and Slash.
The album gave Pop some of his strongest reviews since his David Bowie collaborations, and "Candy", with the B-52's vocalist Kate Pierson, became his first MTV hit. The video for the song found fairly heavy rotation on that station. Videos were also made for "Home", "Butt Town" and "Livin' On the Edge of the Night".
Usain St. Leo Bolt, OJ, CD (/ˈjuːseɪn/; born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican sprinter. Regarded as the fastest person ever timed, he is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time measurements became mandatory in 1977. Along with his teammates, he also set the world record in the 4×100 metres relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, and the first man since Leonidas of Rhodes to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting, and an eleven-time World champion. He was the first to achieve the "double double" of winning 100 m and 200 m titles at consecutive Olympics (2008 and 2012), and topped this through the first "double triple" (including 4×100 m relays).
Although gaining worldwide popularity for a sprint double victory at the Beijing Games, Bolt has had more victories as a 200 m runner. While he had not won any significant 100 m title prior to the 2008 Olympics, he had won numerous crowns in the 200 m event at the youth, junior and senior levels. Further, at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Bolt completed a hat-trick of 200 m world titles by winning his third straight gold in the event. His 2009 record breaking margin for 100 m, from 9.69 seconds (his own previous world record) to 9.58, is the highest since the start of fully automatic time measurements.
I'm hoping it'll all get better
But it keeps on getting worse
Time and time again
People running as the earth shakes
Just another earthquake coming in
To break my faith in this
Wind blowing off the rooftops
Water in the basements
Looking like lightning strikes again
Story ends and another begins
And they will keep on coming
They will keep on coming
Every single flame burns bright and fades
But that's okay
My best-laid plans are washed away
No time to make 'em all again
Sometimes life gets in the way
We've got to keep on breathing
Look how far we've come
Look what we've made
Started from nothing, building
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick
So we're back to broken hearted
Back to where we started
Everything we built gone down again
If this was in the movies
It's said to be the truth
Bet no one would believe a word of it
Far reaching on the hillsides
Losing by a landslide
Everybody's patience wearing thin
The drama ends and another begins
But if everybody loses, everybody wins
Every single flame burns bright and fades
But that's okay
My best-laid plans are washed away
No time to make 'em all again
Sometimes life gets in the way
We've got to keep on breathing
Look how far we've come
Look what we've made
Started from nothing, building
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
Brick
All we have is us
To build back up
What we have lost
But that's enough
Every single flame burns bright and fades
But that's okay
My best-laid plans are washed away
No time to make 'em all again
Sometimes life gets in the way
We've got to keep on breathing
Look how far we've come
Look what we've made
Started from nothing, building
My best-laid plans are washed away
(Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by)
No time to make 'em all again (Brick by brick)
Sometimes life gets in the way
(Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by)
We've got to keep on breathing (Brick by brick)
My best-laid plans are washed away
(Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by)
No time to make 'em all again (Brick by brick)
Sometimes life gets in the way
(Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by)
