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!

Sleeping single in a double BED
Thinking over things I wish I'd said
I should have held you, but I let you go
Now I'm the one sleeping all alone
Sleeping single in a double bed (ooh)
Tossing, turning, trying to forget (ah)
I could be lying with you instead
I'm sleeping single in a double bed
I'd pour me a drink, but I'd only be sorry
'Cause drinking doubles alone don't make it a party
Another sleepless night, and it's the same old story
When you're the only one at 2:00 in the morning (la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(Ooh) I'm sleeping single in a double bed (ooh)
Thinking over things I wish I'd said (ah)
I should have held you, but I let you go
Now I'm the one sleeping all alone
Sleeping single in a double bed
Tossing, turning, trying to forget (you)
I could by lying with you instead
I'm sleeping single in a double bed
(Ah) I'm sleeping single in a double bed (ah)
And thinking over things I wish I'd said (ooh)
I should have held you, but I let you go (ah)
Now I'm the one sleeping all alone
Sleeping single in a double bed (ah)
Tossing, turning, trying to forget (you)
I could be lying with you instead
I'm sleeping single in a double bed
I'm sleeping single in a double bed (ah)
Thinking over things I wish I'd said

The assembly plant moved to Mexico
The domestic sales started getting slow
But the bills kept pouring in me
And Beck took it on the chin
And the day the landlord threw us out
Becky she threw in the towel
She had enough at last
Of these modern grapes of wrath
Saddam Hussein still has a job but I don't
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm BED but I won't
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
With a sign that reads will work for food
And later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
Where's the pot of gold for a street man named desire
It seems like a million years ago
I faced each day full of hope
Honest labor with my hands
Making a livin', making plans
Well, I never was much at drinking before
But these days its all that
Keeps me warm
Its still hard to believe
This could ever happen to me
Saddam Hussein still has a job but I don't
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't

I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for BED"
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show
In my heart, you know how it pains me
A life of leisure is no life you know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Oh, I think you should go
Make a cup of tea, put a record on
I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head
I'll get a guitar, and a lover who pays me
If I can't be a star I won't get out of BED
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Oh, I think you should go

Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can PLEAD
But they can't see the light (that's right)
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right
'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Some boys romance
Some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play (no way)
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day
'Cause we're living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me
'Cause everybody's living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Venus must have heard my PLEA
She has sent someone along for me
I have waited a long, long time
For somebody to call mine
And at last he's come along
Baby, oh nothing can go wrong
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
True love must be the greatest thing
I know now I sing I sing
Of the moon and stars above
How I long to be in love
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
Now of one thing I'm more than sure
Since love's come I don't want more
Than to kiss him every night
Makes everything alright
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
Uuumm
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
Long, long live love

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Their INNOCENCE will pull me through
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
They're meaningless and all that's true
Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission
And when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you!
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Their innocence will pull me through
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
They're meaningless and all that's true
Ahh!
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Their innocence may pull me through
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
Is all I want to say to you
De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da
They're meaningless and all that's true
Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the INNOCENCE
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the INNOCENCE
Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the INNOCENCE

We left Texas on a windy night
In a beat-up Chevy van
We loaded it up with our INNOCENT dreams
And all the love we had
We didn't know then how hard it was
Livin' on our own
I'd find her cryin' late at night
Talkin' to the folks back home
I wonder what went wrong
And where is she now I'd love to know
I bet Amy's back in Austin
Workin' at the LaZona Rosa Cafe
I remember the night we lost it
And the day she went away
Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma
I don't know but it don't feel right
I bet Amy's back in Austin
And I'm missin' her tonight
Workin' ten hours in a West Coast sun
Can make the days so long
And watchin' the moon crashin' into the ocean
Alone sure gets old
I remember how sweet it was
Where is she now I need to know
I bet Amy's back in Austin
Workin' at the LaZona Rosa Cafe
I remember the night we lost it
And the day she went away
Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma
I don't know but it don't feel right
I bet Amy's back in Austin
And I'm missin' her tonight
Could this desert wind
Carry me back again
With my heart in my hand
Baby, baby I'm missin' you
Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma
I don't know but it don't feel right
I bet Amy's back in Austin
And I'm missin' her missin' her tonight
Oh I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an INNOCENT man
I am an INNOCENT man
Oh, yes I am
Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore
I know you don't wanna hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there
And if I can survive I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me, I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an INNOCENT man
I am an INNOCENT man
Oh, yes I am
An INNOCENT man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an INNOCENT man
I am an INNOCENT man
Oh, yes I am
An INNOCENT man
Oh ho ho ho

Tell me how you've never felt
Delicate or innocent
Do you still have doubts that
Us having faith makes any sense?
Tell me nothing ever counts
Lashing out or breaking down
Still somebody loses 'cause
There's no way to turn around
Staring at your photograph
Everything now in the past
Never felt so lonely I
Wish that you could show me love
Show me love, show me love, show me love, show me love, show me love
'Til you open the door
Show me love, show me love, show me love, show me love, show me love,
'Til I'm up off the floor
Show me love, show me love show me love, show me love, show me love,
'Til it's inside my pores

Commonplace occurrences
Chances and surprises
Another state of consciousness

Tell me how you've never felt
Delicate or innocent
Do you still have doubts that
Us having faith makes any sense?
You play games, I play tricks
Girls and girls, but you're the one
Like a game of pick-up sticks
Played by fucking lunatics
Show me love, show me love, show me love, show me love, show me love

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
One man caught on a barbed wire FENCE
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
Nobody like you
There’s noone like you
Nobody like you
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
Don't Fence Me In
Roy Rogers
Wildcat Kelly, lookin' mighty pale
Was standing by the sheriff's side
And when that sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail"
Wildcat raised his head and cried
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wild open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wild open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

And the sign says long hair freaky people need not apply
So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that huh me working for you
Signs signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign
And the sign says anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight
So I jumped the FENCE and I yelled at the house, hey! what gives you the right
To put up a fence and keep me out or to keep mother nature in
If god was here he'd tell it to your face man you're some kind of sinner
Signs signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign
Oh say now mister can't you read
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch no you can't eat you ain't supposed to be here
And the sign says you got to have a membership card to get inside, huh
And the sign says everybody welcome come in kneel down and pray
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and paper and I made up my own fucking sign
I said thank you lord for thinking about me I'm alive and doing fine

Mm ba ba de

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da, that's okay
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people people on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
Okay
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo

People on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher higher high
Pressure on people people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a FENCE but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love give love give love give love
Give love give love give love give love give love
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night
And loves (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure

Since I was young, I've been very hard to please
And I don't know wrong from right
But there is one thing I could never understand
Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so
I'm just sitting on a FENCE
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence
All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
And they mortgaged up their lives
One thing's not said too much, but I think it's true
They just get married 'cause there's nothing else to do, so
I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence
I'm still sitting on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence
The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life
You just never realize
Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
But you go out, and you don't come back at night, so
I'm still sitting on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence

Sitting on a FENCE is a man who sees no sense in fighting
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all
Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards
Sitting on a fence is a man who drinks real ale
But the real problem with this man
Is he says he can't when he can
He'd rather not get his hands dirty
He'll still be there when he's thirty
I told myself to keep my mouth shut
But I still end up saying if and but
I lied to myself right from the start
And I've just worked out that I'm falling apart
Sitting on a fence
Sitting on a fence is a man who looks up to his guardian
Sitting on a fence is a man who swings from poll to poll
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees both sides of both sides
Sitting on a fence is a man who looks down on opinion .
But the real problem with this man
Is he says he can't when he can
He's rather not get his hands dirty
He'll still be there when he is thirty
I told myself to keep my mouth shut
But I still end up saying if and but
I lied to myself right from the start
And I've just worked out that I'm falling apart

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out ridin' FENCES for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
(Let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late

Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Flowers growing on a hill
I'm gonna open up your GATE
Dragonflies and daffodils
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
Learn from us very much
And how she gave me life
Look at us, but do not touch
[Verse 1]
Flowers growing on a hill
Dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much
Look at us, but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
[Chorus]
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
[Verse 2]
Flowers are the things we know
Secrets are the things we grow
Learn from us very much
Look at us, but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
[Chorus]
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Flowers growing on a hill
I'm gonna open up your gate
Dragonflies and daffodils
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra

There's a great American hero, we all look up to
When the times are hard and the chips are down
He knows just what to do
Now a cowboy's got a set of rules that he lives by day to day
If you ask for his advice, he'll more than likely say
If it's a fence, mend it, if it's a dollar bill, spend it
Before if burns a hole down in them jeans
It it's a load, truck it, if it's a punch, duck it
If she's a lady, treat her like a queen
That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings
That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
He's got a simple solution to just about anything
If it's a job, do it, put your back in to it.
'Cause a little bit of dirt's gonna wash off in the rain
If it's a horse, ride it, if it hurts, hide it
Dust yourself off and get back on again
That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings
That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
He's got a simple solution to just about anything
An old cowboy and a young buckaroo were workin', ridin' fence
The old hand was testin' the kid on his skill and common sense
He said, "Son, if you seen three men in a pick-up truck
Dressed alike from boot to hat
Could you tell which one was the real cowboy just from where he sat?"
The kid scratched his head awhile and then he said
"Well, there ain't no way to know"
The old hand grinned and then he said
"Kid, you've still got a ways to go
The real cowboy's the one in the middle
He ain't there just by fate
'Cause first he don't have to drive
And then he don't have to mess with the gate"
That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
It's in the way he lives his life and the songs he sings
That's cowboy logic, every cowboy's got it
He's got a simple solution to just about anything
He's got a simple solution to just about anything

Everybody talks about the California 'quakes
But the first time I ever felt the earth shake
Was in Miami
When Amy touched me, oh it shook me
I told her I loved her and I wanted to stay
But she said "Be sure, and I'll call you in L.A."
Even in the taxi I could hear my telephone ring
Calling me from
Miami, my Amy
What took you so long? I thought you'd never call
Miami, my Amy
Miami, my Amy loves me after all
Now Amy just called and said "Please come back"
I said "I'm on my way, I ain't even unpacked"
"I want you, I love you", that's all she had to say
Goodbye L.A.
Now once again I'm Miami-bound
Can't wait 'til this plane touches down
'Cause I know my Amy will be waitin'
At that Miami gate, I can't wait
Miami, my Amy
What took you so long? I thought you'd never call
Miami, my Amy
Miami, my Amy loves me after all
Miami, my Amy loves me after all

Well, I won't back down
No I won't back down
You could stand me up at the GATES of Hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around

Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down)
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
Well, I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down)
Hey I will stand my ground (I won't back down)

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)

Just the other night a hometown football GAME
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good Lord
For the gifts in my life
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Hey, Carrie Anne
When we were at school, our GAMES were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?

Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?

Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's GAME
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down

You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life
But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come?
Will the songs be playing over and over
'Til you do it all over again?
Play (play), play the GAME tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right?
Is it worth the time? Is it worth the price?
Do you see yourself in a white spotlight?
Then play the GAME tonight
And when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it's all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
'Til you do it all over again
Play (play), play the GAME tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right?
Is it worth the time? Is it worth the price?
Do you see yourself in the white spotlight?
Then play the GAME tonight
Play (play), play the GAME tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right?
Is it worth the time? Is it worth the price?
Do you see yourself in the white light?
Play (play), play the GAME tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right?
Is it worth the time? Is it worth the price?

Can't find Lyrics, but they are quite clear.
Grace Jones from the LP/CD Warm Leatherette 1980:
Hunter Captured By The Game
/www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5PHC4t-j_s
Lyrics in the Video
For you, I was a flame
Love is a losing GAME
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
One I wished I never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now, the final frame
Love is a losing game
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self-professed, profound
'Til the chips were down
Know you're a **** man
Love is a losing hand
Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now, the final frame
Love is a losing game
Hunter captured by the game -
Every day brings change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And the world seems like a new place
Secretly I've been trailing you
Like a Fox that preys on a Rabbit
I had to get you, and so I knew
I had to learn all your ways and all your habits
You're the catch that I was after
I looked up and I was in your arms
And it seemed baby, baby I got captured
What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the GAME
I had laid such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
But love hit me with a sudden slap
Just one of your kisses and baby I knew it
My plan didn't work out like I thought
'Cause I had laid this here trap for you
But it seems, baby, I got caught
What's this whole world coming to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
You're the catch that I was after
Then I looked up and I was in your arms
And it seemed baby, baby I got captured
What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
I went to a garden party
To reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
And play our songs again
When I got to the garden party
They all knew my name
But no one recognized me
I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
And over in the corner
Much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes
Wearing his disguise
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
I played them all the old songs
I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music
We didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou"
She belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk
It was time to leave
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a ringing a bell
And lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang
I'd rather drive a truck
But it's all right now
I learned my LESSON well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
And it's all right now, yeah
Learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself

Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad
And cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another LESSON about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
But thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Yes Lord, it's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

I can see a swath of sinners settin' yonder
And they're actin' like a pack of fools.
Gazin' into space lettin' their minds wander,
'Stead of studyin' the good Lord's rules.
You better pay attention,
Build your comprehension,
There's gonna be a quiz at your ascension.
Not to mention any threat of hell,
But if you're smart you'll learn your lessons well!
Ev'ry bright description of the promised land meant,
You can reach it if you keep alert.
Learnin' ev'ry line and ev'ry last commandment
May not help you, but it couldn't hurt.
First ya gotta read 'em, then ya gotta heed 'em.
Ya never know when you're gonna need 'em
Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel
"You better start to learn your LESSONS well!"

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot, ooh, the whole day down
The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet sixteen, ain't that peachy keen
Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need, oh oh oh oh?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot, ooh, the whole day down
Down, down, shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys a while
And school's out early and soon we be learning
And the LESSON today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh?
And the silicon chip inside her head get switched to overload
And nobodys going to go to school today
She is going to make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like
I don't like
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like
I dont't like
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot, oooh, the whole day down
Oooh oooh oooh

This is the LESSON
Taught to me
A long time ago
At my mother's knee
She said, child, someday
Someone who loves you
Will make you cry
Though he loves you
He'll hurt you til
You feel you could die
But if he says forgive me
Forgive if you can
For you are his woman
And he is your man
When you're looking for roses
There are thorns you will meet
And remember, my child
Without any thorns
The rose can't be sweet
Well it's finally happened
Now it's my turn to cry
Oh, my darling
You've hurt me
Til I feel I could die
But you're saying forgive me
And I understand
For I am your woman
And you are my man
Don't tell me about heartache
I've cried my share of tears
I've had my share of rain
But after the storm
No rain will appear
I just know when you hold me
My whole world is complete
And the lesson is clear
Without any thorns
The rose can't be sweet
The lesson is clear
Without any thorns
The rose can't be sweet

My name is Alanis. I'm a white chick singer
The drums are a-smokin' and so's the bass
Shake your thing
When you sing
Just sixteen
No disco queen
I'm a white chick singer I've seen the world I've got
A LESSION 4u I'm your teacher girl
Two words you'll be hearin' will
Shake the earth so repeat after me
No need to be rehearsed
CHORUS:
Oh yeah
My name is Alanis I'm just sixteen so
Please gimme a break I'm no disco queen
Just hear what I'm sayin' you don't
Wanna miss I got a message 4U and it
Goes like this
CHORUS
Ride my train
Go insane
Your teacher girl
Rules your world
Now don't overdo it when you shake your thing
Cause you'll be goin' insane when you start
To sing
Without special training an amateur
Could be a casuality case if they sing
These words
CHORUS
Yo-Ah Yo-Ah
Wo-oh Yeah!
The drums are a smokin' and so's the
Bass they keep on pumpin' a groove and it'll melt your face
Comon' everybody and blow your mind

Words of mine
HA HA HA AH...

Just another LESSON learned
Wear a scar, a bore repeating
Take a simple fateful turn
Opened up to stop the bleeding
Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein & struck nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding
(Nowhere to buy in)
(Most of us hiding)
(Others are shining)
Just another brick you toss
Stone the number one deceiver
Multiply the added cost
Easy to become a believer
Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein & struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding
(Nowhere to buy in)
(Most of us hiding)
(Others are shining)
You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another LESSON learned...
You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another LESSON learned... Yeah
Just another LESSON learned
