The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one-man band
Homeward BOUND
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home where my music's playin'
Home where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me
Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home where my music's playin'
Home where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home where my music's playin'
Home where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me
Silently for me
I see the bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Well it's BOUND to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's BOUND to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise, all right
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's BOUND to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't come around tonight
Well it's BOUND to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Train whistle blowing makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys
Rocking rolling riding out along the bay
All BOUND for Morningtown many miles away
Driver at the engine fireman rings the bell
Sand man swings the lantern to show that all is well
Rocking rolling riding out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown many miles away
Maybe it is raining where our train will ride;
All the little travellers are warm and snug inside
Rocking rolling riding out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown many miles away
Somewhere there is sunshine somewhere there is day
Somewhere there is Morningtown many miles away
Rocking rolling riding out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown many miles away
Rocking rolling riding out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown many miles away
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry

Poor boy you're BOUND to die
I meet her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're BOUND to die
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't-a been for Grayson

Poor boy you're BOUND to die (well now, boy)
Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you're BOUND to die (well now, boy)
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody offered his word
Hey, hey
No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey
Hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower

Follow that dream, I gotta follow that dream
Keep a-movin, move ALONG, keep a moving
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you,
There's just one thing that you can do
Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
Got to find me someone whose heart is free
Someone to look for my dream with me
And when I find her I may find out
Just what my dreams are all about
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me
And then ALONG comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today
And then ALONG comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed
And flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then ALONG comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realize their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.
I let it ring for a long, long spell.
I went to the window,
I peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what's on his mind.
He said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get ALONG. with me.
Well, I screamed and I hollered,
I was so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that I loved the best.
I finally got my baby about half past three,
She said I'd like to know what you want with me.
I said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through
I said, tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
She said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get a long with me.
Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow.
The women may come and the women may go,
But before I say I love you so,
I want
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
I've got a soul that cannot sleep
At night when something just ain't right
Blood red but without sight
Exploding egos in the night
Mix like sticks of dynamite
Red black or white, this is my fight
Come on courage, let's be heard
Turn feelings into words
American equality has always been sour
An attitude, I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Right or wrong, my song is strong
You don't like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan
I don't buy supremacy
Media chief, you menace me
The people you say 'cause all the crime
Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime
Blackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Well, I've got tapes, I've got CD's
I've got my Public Enemy
My Lilly white ass is tickled pink
When I listen to the music that makes me think
Not another, motherfuckin' politician
Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
I never touch the sound we make
Soul sacred love, vows that we take
To create straight what is true
Yo, he's with me and what I do
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger
Can't forget 'cause the memory lingers
Count 'em off quick, little Piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
I've got a welt from the Bible belt
Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Giving up blood just to exist
Rub me wrong and I get pissed
No I cannot, get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr.Bigot
Little brother do you hear me
Have a heart oh come get near me
Misery is not my friend
But I'll break before I bend
What I see is insanity
What ever happened to humanity
What ever happened to humanity
What ever happened to humanity

Not GUILTY
For getting in your way
While you're trying to steal the day.
Not guilty
And I'm not here for the rest,
I'm not trying to steal your vest.
I am not trying to be smart,
I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry for your ageing head.
But like you heard me said:
Not guilty.
No use handing me a writ
While I'm trying to do my bit.
I don't expect to take your heart.
I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry that you're underfed.
But like you heard me said:
Not guilty.
Not guilty
For looking like a freak,
Making friends with every Sikh.
Not guilty
For leading you astray
On the road to Mandalay.
I won't upset the apple cart.
I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry that you've been misled.
But like you heard me said:
Not guilty.

The GUILTY undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the streets where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to open up the gate for you
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
How my fathers, they've gone down
True love, they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it
Well, I'll return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I?
But I did it because he lied
And because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I
Want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
GUILTY feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
GUILTY feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, ohh
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
GUILTY feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) Was what I did's so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?

The Name of the Game - ABBA

I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted
I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know
What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
The name of the game
I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
(But it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
Oh yes I wanna know
The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
(That it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
(But it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(I was an IMPOSSIBLE case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
(That it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
To dream the IMPOSSIBLE dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the un-rightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest,
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause.
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
And one man, sore and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star
Impossible, raw women
I know you're all too hard to please
I can help you, if you only ask me kindly
Don't make me get down on my knees
God bless these hungry women
Impossible to ever keep
Your breath has never tasted as sweet
I don't need you to need me, to need my freedom
My freedom is a vision you seek
And the place you disappear to is a place I wish to be
I beg you, instill you
Don't treat it like some kind of joke
This song is, kind lady, my only hope
You can't kill an idea 'cos it's raining
Keep it in the family, keep it in the kids
You know, they're all handing out free tickets
This big, old boat is-a-startin' to sink
The whole world is getting hungry
And it ain't memories you need from me
And if memories are all you need from me
You're a hard act to please
I miss you and it's lonely
I admit, I can hardly sleep
You know he looks like a plastic surgeon
Just look at him, he's a piece
This whole world is like a postcard
Easy lost and easy to reach
And if this is where you're goin' I will surely leave
Ex-impossible grown woman
You know you're oh, so hard to please
Your new friend, he seems to love you
I hope he cries himself to sleep
She will fool you, destroy you
Disappear without so much as smoke
This song is, cool lady, my only hope

It's IMPOSSIBLE
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you goin' through me?
Split the second that I never think of you
Oh, how impossible!
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more?
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should ya ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more?
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should ya ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
Impossible
Impossible

What if I ain't worth the while
Not the style you'd be lookin' for
If I'm sweet tonight
Things look different in the morning light
I'm jealous and I'm proud
If you hurt my feelings I'll cry out loud
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
Are you sure you wanna hear more
Would I be the one you seek
Mild and meek like the girl next door
Don't you realise
I may be an angel in disguise
It's lonely to be free
But I'm not a man's TOY, I'll never be
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
I don't believe in fairy-tales
Sweet nothings in my ear
But I do believe in sympathy
That's me, you see
Are you sure you wanna hear more
Won't you have a drink with me
Just to see you're not really sore
I can't help my ways
I'm just not the girl to hide my face
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
There's a special love
Like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
If I keep on searchin', but until then
I'm Carrie not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

A song I am embarrassed to even know.
Vibrator dependent - Mojo Nixon
only registered users can see external links
[Verse 1]
Came home early one night from work
Thought my wife's in bed with a jerk
She's in there with a piece of plastic
Yelling and screamin' super deluxe creamin'
She don't want my lovestick
[Chorus]
Cause she's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys
She don't want to go out and dance
She don't want to get in my pants
Just stay home and vibrate
I'm getting big blisters on my hands, thinking maybe I ain't a man
Man she ain't gonna get impregnated
[Chorus]
Cause she's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys
Play with them honey
There she was, in the bathroom
Sounded like she was shaving her tallywhacker with a
Battery-powered device
Me, I'm prancing around in the living room
Got the demon jism buildup
I mean I got a severe case of it
Lot of pressure on my brain, eyeballs turning white, grabbing my tallywhacker all the time
I look her in the eye, and I say, uh, I say
"Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby please! Baby you got something I need, something I want
I want to put my face in the special place."
She says "what?"
"I want to put my face in the special place
Yeah, I want to get ring around the face honey
You know what I'm talking about, when the full moon comes around."
She said "Mojy wojy, you got to do something for me if you want to do that."
I said "What's that honey?"
She said "Mojy, know what you got to do? You know I got these battery powered things here, and you know I got some things plug into the wall, put 110 volts on my tallywhacker
Mojo, I want you to go out to the store, I want you to get me something, something big and ugly, gigantic vibrator, Vibratorzilla it'd be
And unplug the refrigerator Mojo, get Vibratorzilla in there and put 220 on the money, honey!"
I said "Baby, you done gone crazy."
"And then Mojo, you can put your face in the special place...
But you're gonna have to, gonna have to
Make a little noise
Took her down to see a nurse
Cure her of this terrible curse
Doctor said lady you're afflicted, now I told you not to grab it
I pronounce you addicted
She just wants to play with her TOYS
She's got VD, that's Vibrator Dependency now isn't it. No honey you can't plug my toes into the wall, I ain't gonna hum no more either

You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
You're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you not to love no other
You must of dreamed it in your sleep
You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
You're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
you're not the kind of girl to tell your mother

RIP Michael Nesmith
An over aged boy of thirty-nine has left the wing today
The first time in his life he's made that step
Be numbed by the society and plagued by insecurity
He's entered a race that must be won
One of the animals has left it's cage today
In search of better things, so it seems to be
But in this land of polyurethane
Things are apt to get a bit hot
As the toys go winding down
As the toys go winding down
C.G. the Mexican is a friend of mine
We used to sit around the house watching Evil Dead
Talking about the way it used to be...
We used to pull the stripers out of San Pablo Bay
Now the delta waters go down So.Cal.
And the stripers start to fade away
It's pudding time
It's pudding time!
As the toys go winding down

LONG ago and far away
In my old common labor shoes
I turned the world all which-a-way
Just because you asked me to
Likened to no other feel'
Summer love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Just because you asked me to
Let the world call me a fool
Let it; things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to
Knowin' how much I love you
After all I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to
Let the world call me a fool
Let it; things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to
A LONG, LONG time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Did you write the book of love, and do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll, can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Now for ten years we've been on our own, and moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
A quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Helter skelter in a summer swelter, the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass, the players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Oh, and there we were all in one place, a generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
I started singin' it
Singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets, the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
They were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' This'll be the day that I die"

I used to hurry a lot
I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage
I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely 'til I found you
You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
(In the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one
(Is a strong one)
People talkin' about us
They got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down
We will still come through
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a long run
You know, I don't understand
Why you don't treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the débutants in Houston, baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long run
(In the long run)
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one
(Is a strong one)
We were scared but we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent, but we ain't breakin'

Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a long run

If today was not a crooked highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a LONG time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'
I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
The LONG and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the LONG winding road
You left me standing here
A long, LONG time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the LONG winding road
You left me standing here
A LONG, LONG time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wether you whine or grine
Wether you whine or grine
She shake it up right on time
She shake it up right on time
Shake up long, shake up strong
Stay on your feet and you can't go wrong
Wether you whine or grine
First thing she ax, if you 'ave your brush
If you 'ave your brush, you can avoid the rush
Wether you whine or grine
Come a ruff, ruff grine
Come a cool, cool whine
Wether you whine or grine
Wether you whine or grine
Wether you whine or grine
She like when you whine or grine
She love when you whine and grine
First thing she ax, if you 'ave your brush
If you 'ave your brush, you can avoid the rush
Mek it come whine or grine
She want you to whine and grine
She says take a skiddip all the time
She love when you whine and grine
First thing she ax, if you 'ave your brush
If you 'ave your brush, you can avoid the rush
Wether you whine or grine
She'll love when you whine and grine
Just take a skiddip all the time
She want a ruff, ruff stroker
She want a cool, cool stroker

What a weepin' and wailin' dung a Caymanas park
What a weepin' and wailin' dung a Caymanas park
Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket
Get up, get up in the first race
And them pull up the pace
Get up, get up in the first race
And them pull up the pace
And Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket
Them wail, them wail, them reel
But they couldn't take the trail
Them wail, them wail, them reel
But they couldn't take the trail
And Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket
It was Starbright, Combat, Corazon
Long Shot on the rear
It was Starbright, Combat, Corazon
Long Shot on the rear
Combat fell, Long Shot fell
All we money gone a hell
All we money gone a hell
And Long Shot, him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket
Stop that train: I'm leaving - today!
Stop that train: I'm leaving - anyway!
Stop that train: I'm leaving. And I said
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
All my good life I've been a lonely man
Teaching my people who don't understand
And even though I tried my best
I still can't find no happiness
So I got to say
Stop that train: I'm leaving - any day, now
Stop that train: I'm leaving - don't care what you say!
Stop that train: I'm leaving. And I said
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Some going east; and-a some going west
Some stand aside to try their best
Some living big, but the most is living small
They just can't even find no food at all
I mean, stop it
Stop that train: I'm leaving - leaving, mm-hmm
Stop that train: I'm leaving - I don't mind!
Stop that train: I'm leaving. And I said
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Stop that train: I'm leaving – leaving!
Stop that train: I'm leaving - can't take it!
Stop that train: I'm leaving - got to be better!
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening
Crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime
Come together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, aha

I'll pack up all my things and walk away,
I don't want to hear another word you have to say
I've been waiting for so long
I just found out there's something wrong
And there's nothing what get better if I stay
There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I'm walking out the door
You used me, you deceived me,
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go
Seems I've been lost in a dream
Pretending that you care
But now I've opened up my eyes
And found it's all been just a great big FAIRYTALE
I've been lovin' you so long
Don't think I'd even know how to forget you
But now the way that things have been
I think I'm better off alone
Than to be with you
There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I'm walking out the door
You used me, you deceived me,
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go
Seems like I've been lost in a dream
Pretending you were mine
Someday you'll open up your eyes
And realize that a good man's hard to find
There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that FAIRY TALES* came true
But they come true when I'm near you
You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise
And betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
If I could I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you so I'll know where you are
Order rainbows in your favorite shade
To show I love you, thinking of you
Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask I'll try, 'cause
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever

* since when did fairytale or fairytales become two words? I would like to think that this is merely a spelling error on someones part and that I am not crazy or cheating.
I have looked in the Oxford English Dictionary and online and evidently -
The American Heritage Dictionary and the Concise OED agree that the noun fairy tale is two words. It can also be an adjective (modifying "romance", for example); that's one word, fairytale, in the US, but hyphenated, fairy-tale, in the UK.
But let's not be picky.
I just looked up the Pogues Christmas song and the title is 'Fairytale of New York' One word.

You're sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too late
For your mother and me
Love has finally died
This is no happy home
But God knows how I've tried
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
I know it's hard to understand
Why did we ever start?
We're more like strangers now
Each acting out a part
I have laughed, I have cried
I have lost every game
Taken all I can take
But I'll stay here just the same
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
Perhaps it's just as well
Why spoil your little dreams
Why put you through the hell
Life is no FAIRYTALE
As one day you will know
But now you're just a child
I'll stay here and watch you grow
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Yeah, because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
