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!
Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça
É ela, a menina que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado, do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
Ah, por que estou tão sozinho?
Ah, por que tudo é tão triste?
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha
Ah, se ela soubesse que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes
"Ah!"
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes, each one she passes goes
"Ah!"
Oh, but he watch her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles, but she doesn't see
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see
Astrud Gilberto, 1940-2023
Rest in peace, lovely lady with the lovely voice
From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
And walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king
With no regret I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
To make me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart
I finally got to post this one!
Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence?
One step from lashing out at you
You want in, to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you, what do I do?
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?
Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk, are you talkin' to me?
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?
No way, punk
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk, are you talkin' to me?
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?
Walk on home, boy

Nothing else matters-Metallica
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are

Cowboys from hell- Pantera
Oh, come on!
Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
Said, we're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land, they say
Bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back
You see us comin' and you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend, you see
It's been slow down below
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'cause
High noon, your doom
Comin' for you, we're the cowboys from hell
Steel
Oh, pillage the village, trash the scene, but
Better not take it out on me 'cause
A ghost town is found where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight from my
Double barrel, 12-gauge, can't lock me in your cage
You see us comin' and you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend, you see
It's been slow down below
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'cause
High noon, your doom
Comin' for you, we're the cowboys from hell
Whoa
Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend, you see
It's been slow down below
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'cause
High noon, your doom
Comin' for you, we're the cowboys from hell
Ah, step aside, we're the cowboys from hell
Oh

Falling away from me - Korn
ey, I'm feeling tired
My time, is gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes, that's okay
Do what others say
I'm here, standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me
Day, is here fading
That's when, I would say
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can always say
It's gonna be better tomorrow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me
Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
It's spinning round and round
(Falling away from me)
It's lost and can't be found
(Falling away from me)
It's spinning round and round
(Falling away from me)
Slow it down
Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Twisting me, they won't go away
So I pray, go away
Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me
Fuck!
Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
beating me down
Beating me, beating me (falling away from me)
Down, down
Into the ground (falling away from me)
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me (falling away from me)
Down, down
Into the ground

From St Kilda to Kings Cross is thirteen hours on a bus
I pressed my face against the glass and watched the white lines rushing past
And all around me felt like all inside me
And my body left me and my soul went running
Have you ever seen Kings Cross when the rain is falling soft?
I came in on the evening bus, from Oxford Street I cut across
And if the rain don't fall too hard
Everything shines just like a postcard
Everything goes on just the same
Fair-weather friends are the hungriest friends
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands
I want to see the sun go down from St Kilda Esplanade
Where the beach needs reconstruction,
where the palm trees have it hard
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour (all that land, all that water)
For that one sweet promenade
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour (all that land, all that water)
For that one sweet promenade

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.

You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.

If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my dad myself.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.

Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen carat golden thing.

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am
That far away PRIZE, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me
Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river and one again after the fall
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that wanna play
Always wanna go, but you never wanna stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always wanna play, but you never wanna lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river, then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that wanna play
Always wanna go, but you never wanna stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always wanna play, but you never wanna lose, oh
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize

And catch the perfect PRIZE that waits among the shelves
But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad.
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

High above the city square
Globes of light float in mid-air
Higher still, against the night
Clockwork angels bathed in light
You promise every treasure, to the foolish and the wise
Goddesses of mystery, spirits in disguise
Every pleasure, we bow and close our eyes
Clockwork angels, promise every PRIZE
Clockwork angels, spread their arms and sing
Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things
Goddesses of Light, of Sea and Sky and Land
Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands
As if to fly
As if to fly
All around the city square
Power shimmers in the air
People gazing up with love
To those angels high above
Celestial machinery - move through your commands
Goddesses of mystery, so delicate and so grand
Moved to worship, we bow and close our eyes
Clockwork angels, promise every PRIZE
Clockwork angels, spread their arms and sing
Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things
Goddesses of Light, of Sea and Sky and Land
Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands
As if to fly
As if to fly
"Lean not upon your own understanding
Ignorance is well and truly blessed
Trust in perfect love, and perfect planning
Everything will turn out for the best"
And everything will turn out for the best
Stars aglow like scattered sparks
Span the sky in clockwork arcs
Hint at more than we can see
Spiritual machinery
Clockwork angels, spread their arms and sing
Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things
Goddesses of Light, of Sea and Sky and Land
Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands
Clockwork angels, spread their arms and sing
Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things

The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes...
Swallowing diamonds
A cutting throat
Your teeth when you grin
Reflecting beams on tombstones
A jamboree of surprises
Playing Russian roulette
Or the Lucky Dip
A clenched fist to your heart
Coal dust on your lungs
A silver tongue for the chosen one
Heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn
Skating bullets on angel dust
In a dead sea of fluid mercury
Baby piano cries
Under your heavy index & thumb
Pull some strings -- let them sing
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes...
Dazzle -- It's a glittering prize
Before your eyes...
It's a glittering prize...
Here from the king's mountain view
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan, I do
On treasures and flesh never few
But I, I would wish it all away
If I thought I'd lose you just one day
The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck, soon to drown
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I
I
I
I
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away
Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn
Begged like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along
But I
And I would
If I could
And I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway
Or justify my giving away my center
So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow would take you away
You, my peace of mind, my all, my center
Just trying to hold on one more day
Damn my eyes!
Damn my eyes!
Damn my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum
Wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine down upon the severed
Shine until the two become one
Divided, I'll wither away
Divided, I'll wither away
Shine down upon the many
Light our way, benevolent sun
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
So as one survive
Another day and season
Silence, legion, save your poison
Silence, legion, stay out of my way

Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself "I don't realize"?
Your crusade's a disguise
Replace freedom with fear, you trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain, I see need
I see liars and thieves abuse power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived
You will pay for what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

Would you like to hear some accordion for an encore?
A New song?
Nobody's ever heard it before
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of SORROW
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
We can face it together
The way old friends do
I am a man of constant sorrow,
I've seen trouble all of my days;
I'll bid farewell to old Kentucky,
The place where I was born and raised.
Oh, six long year I've been blind, friends.
My pleasures here on earth are done,
In this world I have to ramble,
For I have no parents to help me now.
So fare you well my own true lover,
I fear I never see you again,
For I'm bound to ride the Northern railroad,
Perhaps I'll die upon the train.
Oh, you may bury me in some deep valley,
For many year there I may lay.
Oh, when you're dreaming while you're slumbering
While I am sleeping in the clay.
Oh, fare you well to my native country,
The place where I have loved so well,
For I have all kinds of trouble,
In this vain world no tongue can tell.
Dear friends, although I may be a stranger,
My face you may never see no more;
But there's a promise that is given,
Where we can meet on that beautiful shore.

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of SORROW and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven far away
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven one day
Four A.M. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
A star was glowing in the silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven far away
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven one day
Far away on the other side
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever get from you
Is SORROW, sorrow
You're actin' funny spendin' all my money
You're out there playin' your high class games
Sorrow, sorrow
You never do what you know you oughta
Somethin' tells me you're the devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
I tried to fight her but I can't resist her
(I tried to fight her but I can't resist her)
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow, sorrow
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
(With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue)
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow, sorrow
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
With your long blonde hair I couldn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

Was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle, like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover, and I must be moving on
Yeah yeah
Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth
Like a ship without an anchor, like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining, shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
Hope you'll find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye, Mary, goodbye, Jane
Will we ever meet again?
Feel no SORRY, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary), it's not for me (Goodbye, Jane)
Just give me motion (Will we ever) and set me free (Meet again?)
And land and the ocean (Feel no SORROW), far away (Feel no shame)
The life I've chosen (Come tomorrow), every day (Feel no pain)
So goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary), goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane)
Will we ever (Will we ever) meet again? (Meet again?)
Now, some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well
You can laugh at my behaviour, that'll never bother me
Say, the devil is my saviour, but I don't pay no heed
And I will go on shining, shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye, Mary, goodbye, Jane
Will we ever meet again?
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary), it's not for me (Goodbye, Jane)
Just give me motion (Will we ever) and set me free (Meet again?)
And land and the ocean (Feel no SORROW), far away (Feel no shame)
The life I've chosen (Come tomorrow), every day (Feel no pain)
And now I'm leaving (Goodbye, Mary), got to go (Goodbye, Jane)
Hit the road (Will we ever), I say it once again (Meet again?)
Oh yes, I'm leaving (Feel no SORROW), got to go (Feel no shame)
Got to go (Come tomorrow), I'm sorry I must tell you (Feel no pain)
Goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary), goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane)
Will we ever (Will we ever) meet again? (Meet again?)
Go and believe it
MY LIFE SUFFOCATES

Sea of Sorrow - Alice In Chains
Mind, of destructive taste
I choose to stroll amongst the waste
That was your heart lost in the dark
Call off the chase
Walls of thought, strong and high
As my castle crumbles with time
I think of you, oh, yes I do
Such a crime
You opened fire
And your mark was true
You opened fire
Aim my smiling skull at you
You opened fire
I live tomorrow
You I'll not follow
As you wallow
In a sea of sorrow
Lines cut across my face
Why you laugh at my disgrace
I'll never know how far to go
To reach that place
You opened fire
And your mark was true
You opened fire
Aim my smiling skull at you
You opened fire
I live tomorrow
You I'll not follow
As you wallow
In a sea of sorrow
You opened fire
And your mark was true
You opened fire
Aim my smiling skull at you
You opened fire
I live tomorrow
You I'll not follow
As you wallow
In a sea of sorrow
I live tomorrow
You I'll not follow
As you wallow
In a sea of sorrow
I live tomorrow
You I'll not follow
As you wallow
In a sea of sorrow
I live tomorrow
You I'll not follow
As you wallow

Your sick appetite?
Go in for the kill
Always in sight
Prey
The time always right
Feast
Feed on the pain

Sorrow made flesh
Sweet
Live how you want
Just don't feed on me

Tim Hardin
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me?
Save my love for sorrow
Save my love for lonely
I've given you my tomorrow
And love you always
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me quick, "Tim how could? How could I put you above me?"
If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colour box
Soft shoes shining
Save my love for loneliness
Save my love for sorrow
I've given you my only-ness
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your SORROW shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my SORROW
When I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your SORROW shows
Yes, it shows
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
If living is without you
Sorry about the absence of lyrics but they are on the video .
Rising moon and silver road behind me
And I do believe the sky's about to fall
Going where I know they'll never find me,
Oh, my sorrows, gonna try to lose them all
[chorus:]
Gonna find the gypsy QUEEN,
Show me things I've never seen,
Don't cry mama for the things I've done,
Mama don't you cry for me.
I'm singing for the dark and lonely highway,
I'm singing for the rivers and the sea,
I'm singing for the country roads and byways,
And I wonder as I go
Is there anyone alone
To sing for me?
Going home ain't quite as fine as leaving,
Together ain't as fine as on your own,
Wishing can never be believing,
Please believe in me when I'm gone.
[chorus:]
Gonna find the gypsy QUEEN,
Show me things I've never seen,
Don't cry mama for the things I've done,
Mama don't you cry for me.
I'm singing for the dark and lonely highway,
I'm singing for the rivers and the sea,
I'm singing for the country roads and byways,
And I wonder as I go
Is there anyone alone
To sing for me?

She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy (Ooh, ooh)
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline (Ooh, ooh)
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a killer queen

Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah (Ooh, ooh)
(Killer, killer, she's a killer queen)
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (Naturally)
For cars, she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Pa-pa-pa-pa)
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussycat (Ooh)
Then momentarily out of action (Ooh)
Temporarily out of gas (Ta-taaa)
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam (Pa-pa-pa-ra)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try
You'd rather have wine than gin
And only the finest by your skin
Always running after time
Catching your fancy with rhymes
Shining on the front page again
Now you're hot on the presses today
Little queen
Making your passion play
Little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind
Little queen
Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
But still you danced and you sang
All night the telephone rang
And music kept on playing from your pen
Now you're hot on the presses today
Little queen
Making your passion play
Little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind
Little queen, yeah

(Raining) I see you, I see you raining
(Raining) He knows you're raining
(Raining) Oh, yeah
Now you're slipping away with your gypsy band
And you're hot on your music and playing a winning hand
You were standing in the line
Thinking how you moved his mind
And feeling like he held you in his hand
And you're hot on the presses today
Little queen
Making your passion play

Ooh, you can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing QUEEN
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing QUEEN
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing QUEEN
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh, yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing QUEEN
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing QUEEN
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing QUEEN
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh, yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

The fortune QUEEN of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat were scratches from
The marks of men, her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home, James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12
She told me more about me than I knew myself
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
And then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said, "The man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face"
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
So, I ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how I smelled, it was in my own room
And so, I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing 'til they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming QUEEN
You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer

Mississippi QUEEN, You know what I mean
Mississippi QUEEN, She taught me everything
Went down around Dick's place, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun Lady, aboard the Mississippi QUEEN
You know she was a dancer. She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine
Mississippi QUEEN, If you know what I mean
Mississippi QUEEN, She taught me everything
This lady she asked me, if I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can
To keep her lookin' pretty, buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes were makin' their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was loosin' mine
You know she was a dancer. She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine
Yeah, Mississippi QUEEN

Just being here with you tonight, I'm a QUEEN on a throne
And every time I hold you tight a palace is my home
Yeah, but will my kingdom turn to dust in the morning light
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king tomorrow? (Tomorrow)
Every kiss you're givin' me is a jewel in my crown
I'm as high and mighty as can be with the treasure I found
But will my castle tumble down in the morning light?
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king tomorrow? (Tomorrow)
You say that you belong to me and I rule the world
A queen in all her majesty, knowing I'm your girl
But will I wear a golden crown in the morning light?
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king tomorrow? (Tomorrow)
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king...

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own
Can't live without me, you wanna' but you can't, nah-nah-nah
Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own
I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take
I'll show you how a real queen behaves, oh
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me
Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own
Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head
Gonna' change it and make it a world you won't forget
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me
Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
But I'm stronger than I ever was before
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own
In chess, the king can move one space at a time
But queens are free to go wherever they like
You get too close, you'll get a royalty high
So breathe it in to feel alive
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

From a jack to a KING
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
And walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
And made me king of your heart
For just a little while
I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time
I saw the twinkle in your eye
From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart
For just a little while
I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time
I saw the twinkle in your eye
From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart...

I believe your new girl turned you down
And they say she's pushing you around
How does it feel? I guess it hurts your pride
Tell me my friend, how many nights you cried
Disaster and disgrace
The KING has lost his crown
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Was it hard to step down from your throne
And to know tonight you're all alone?
Oh what a shame, you really want that girl
She doesn't care, still you just dream of her
Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Disaster and disgrace
The world is all around
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the KING of pain
There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the KING of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the KING of pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
(KING of pain)
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
(That's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

KING of pain, KING of pain
KING of pain, I'll always be
KING of pain, I'll always be
KING of pain, I'll always be
KING of pain, I'll always be

Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the KING lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?
Feeling low, gotta go, see a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies
In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss
In a while, run a mile, I'm regretting all this
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?
Time to go, close the show, wave the people goodbye
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye
Where's your home, what's your phone number, stop fooling 'round
Could have died, she replied, "I'm the wife of the clown"
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
Richard Thompson
Oh she dressed in the dark
and she whispered amen
she was pretty in pink
like a young girl again
twenty years married
and she never thought twice
she sneaked out the door
and walked into the night
and silver wings carried her
over the sea
from the west coast of ireland
to west tennessee
to be with her sweetheart,
oh she left everything
from galway to graceland to be with the king
She was humming suspicion,
that's the song she liked best
she had elvis i love you
tattooed on her breast
when they landed in memphis,
well, her heart beat so fast
she'd dreamed for so long,
now she'd see him at last
she was down by his graveside
day after day
come closing time they
would pull her away
ah to be with her sweetheart,
oh she'd left everything
from galway to graceland to be with the king
Ah, they came in their thousands
from the whole human race
to pay their respects
at his last resting place
but blindly she knelt there
and she told him her dreams
and she thought that he answered
or that's how it seems
then they dragged her away
it was handcuffs this time
she said "my good man are you out of your mind?"
don't you know that we're married?
see, i'm wearing his ring.
from galway to graceland to be with the king.
i come from galway to graceland to be with the king.

I don't need to fall at your feet
Just 'cause you cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone
If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself...
I'll get over you... I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the KING of wishful thinking
I am the KING of wishful thinking
I refuse to give in to my blues
That's not how it's going to be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't want to let you see... no
That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself...
I'll get over you... I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the KING of wishful thinking...
I'll get over you... I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the KING of wishful thinking
I will never, never shed a tear for you
I'll get over you
If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself...
I'll get over you... I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the KING of wishful thinking
I'm the KING of wishful thinking
I'll get over you... I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the KING of wishful thinking
I'll get over you...
I'll pretend my heart's still beating
'Cause I've got no more tears for you
I'm the KING of wishful thinking...
I'll get over you... I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the KING of wishful thinking
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found

I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All their children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no ones around
I sing
