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!
Sorry for late posting today - have been out of coverage until now.

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
(It takes your breath and leaves you blind)
And now open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
(A dream of it we offer you)
A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu
Xanadu
(NOW we are here)
In Xanadu
(Xanadu)
Xanadu
Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu your neon lights will shine
For you Xanadu
The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
(With every breath you drift away)
The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
(The dream you dream, well it will happen for you)
A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu
Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu
(Xanadu)
Xanadu
Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu
(Xanadu, Xanadu)
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu

And the world, I'll turn it inside out
Yeah!
I'm floating around
In ecstasy
So don't stop me NOW, don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time

I'm a racing car passing by
Like Lady Godiva

On a collision course

It's NOW or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait
When I first saw you
With your smile so tender
My heart was captured
My soul surrendered
I spent a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Now that you're near
The time is here, at last
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait
Just like a willow
We would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
And sweet devotion
Your lips excite me
Let your arms invite me
For who knows when
We'll meet again this way
It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait
It's now or never
My love won't wait
It's now or never
My love won't wait

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-woha
There she stood in the street
Smilin' from her head to her feet;
I said, "Hey, what is this?
Now maybe, baby,
Maybe she's in need of a kiss."
I said, "Hey, what's your name?
Maybe we can see things the same.
"Now don't you wait, or hesitate.
Let's move before they raise the parking rate."
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
(Let me tell you now)
I took her home to my place,
Watchin' every move on her face;
She said, "Look, what's your game?
Are you tryin' to put me to shame?"
I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?"
She said, "Love, Lord above,
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love."
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now

You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh-ooh-hoo, no
Baby, please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh-ooh-hoo, no
Baby, please don't go
Ooh-ooh-hoo, girl
I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind

You must leave now, take what you need you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you'd better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the saints are coming through
And it's all over NOW, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty-handed armies are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind you, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW
Well, she used to run around with every man in town
She spent all my money, playing her high class game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW
Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW
Because I used to love her, but it's all over NOW

NOW I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
NOW with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love, because
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes, I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight" (stay with me)
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love, because
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear (yes, I swear), it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
NOW I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before (never felt this way)
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door

And I owe it all to you...

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish UPON a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

An old cowboy went ridin out one dark and windy day
UPON a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cries
Yippie I ohhh ohh ohh
Yippie I aye ye ye
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's ridin hard to catch that herd
But he ain't caught em yet
'Cause they got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin fire as they ride on hear their cries
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a-ridin on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies
Yippie I ohhh oh oh
Yippie I aye ye ye
Ghost riders in the sky

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
UPON the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love?
Upon the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this old world
Will keep on turning
Let's just be glad
We had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
That we're burning
Lay your head
UPON my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft, across the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
I'll get along
You'll find another
And I'll be here
If you should find
You ever need me
Don't say a word
About tomorrow, or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
When you leave me
Lay your head
Upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft across the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
For the good times.
Table - The Beautiful South
only registered users can see external links
This table has four sturdy legs
And a heart of very near wild oak
When others would have screamed out loud my friend
This one never even spoke
I've been sat upon, I've been spat UPON
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school
This table's been pushed against the door
When tempers, well tempers flare at night
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
When someone thinks that they are right
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school
Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon

Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school

Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave

Once UPON a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was a-hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Ah, you've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say, "Do you want to make a deal?"
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To have on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Ah, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts, but you'd better take your diamond ring
You'd better pawn it, babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel
Ah, how does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby, I'm grieving
But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just UPON a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Beware
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just UPON a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl
Baby I love you
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Beware
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just UPON a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
And it's hard to get by just UPON a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I keep your picture
UPON the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love

Once UPON a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once UPON a time
In your wildest dreams
Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand-new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once UPON a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow
Once UPON a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once UPON a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow
Once UPON a time
Once UPON a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once UPON a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
"Are you all sitting comftybold two square on your botty? Then I'll begin …"
Once upon a time in a land of greens
Where the sky was silky soft
And full of colored dreams
Deep inside a rainbow
Lived Happiness Stan
In a small Victorian charabanc
Evening will be here quite soon
Stan can sit and watch the moon
Watching as the white light
Slowly makes the night bright
Hours slipping by while time stands still
Think of black and black will think of you
It's coloured Stan the bruises
Of the darkness that we knew
For black had stolen half the moon away

When I were a lad I were so glad to go out in the daytime
With me fork, and a bottle and a cork to help out in the haytime
While tossin' hay upon the mound met young Lucy Bailey
And I said my dear Are you often here, she said Yes sir, twice DAILY
We had such fun in the summer sun, Lucy were so thrillin'
Sweet and pure but I wern't sure that young maid were willin'
Till one day among the hay we was working gaily
She up's and slips and zomut rips and I went there twice daily
(Oh Ah Oh I did too)
She said dear I do feel queer think I outa tellee
Tant new bread she sadly said that swelling up me belly
Told her go to Doctor Joe off she went so gaily
He gave a dollop of a gert thick jollop and said take this twice daily
( Orriable stuff twer )
Now Lucy's dad wer very mad, chased I 'round the haymound
Said my son you've had your fun, the time has come to pay now
My girl you'll wed, the old man said as he waved his shotgun gaily
If you don't, he says, I'll put some lead and you won't go there twice daily
(Ow painful that )
Well the very next day in the month of May held the ceremony
Paid off the vicar with a gallon of liquor, rode to church on a pony
And the village folks from miles around waved and shouted gaily
There's no doubt you'll get caught out if you goes there twice daily
( They were right too (I did)
Now to Lucy's joy she had a boy, what a little darlin'
Round and fat as a Cheshire cat, perky as a starlin'
Skin were smooth as a cider jar and they called him Buster Bailey
Fed him on sweeds and charlotte weeds and a pint of scrump twice daily
( Fat little bleeder too)
Now we'me old, our story's told, been forty years together
And we often stray where we tossed the hay in that old time summer weather
Kids we've got full ten or more, we goes on quiet gaily
Tho' I'm old and grey when I gets me way I still go there twice daily.

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The DAILY News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The DAILY News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
Three, that's the magic number
(Three) Yes, it is, it's the magic number (Three)
Somewhere in this hip-hop soul community
Was born three: Mase, Dove and me
And that's the magic number
(What does it all mean?)
Difficult preachin' is Posdnuos' pleasure
Pleasure in preachin' starts in the heart
Something that stimulates the music in a measure
Measure in the music, breaks in three parts
Casually see but don't do like the soul
'Cause seein' and doin' are actions for monkeys
Doin' hip-hop hustle, no rock and roll
Unless your name's Brewster, 'cause Brewster's a punk (Three)
Parents let go, 'cause there's magic in the air
Criticizing rap shows you're out of order
Stop, look and listen to the phrase Fred Astaires
And don't get offended while Mase do-si-do's your daughter
A tri-camera rolls since our music's now set
Fly rhymes are stored on a Da.I.S.Y production
It stands for "Da Inner Sound, Y'all" and y'all can bet
That the action's not a trick, but sure 'nough a function
(What does it all mean?)
Everybody wants to be a DJ
Everybody wants to be an Em Cee
But being speakers are the best
And you don't have to guess
De La Soul posse consists of three
And that's the magic number
(Three)
This here piece of the pie
Is not dessert, but the course that we dine
And three out of every darn time
The effect is "Mmm" when a daisy grows in your mind
Showing true position, this here piece is
Kissin' the part of the pie that's missin'
When that negative number fills up the casualty
Maybe you can subtract it
You can call it your lucky partner
Maybe you can call it your adjective
But odd as it may be
Without my one and two where would there be
My three? Mase, Pos and me
And that's the magic number
(What does it all mean?)
Focus is formed by flaunts to the soul
Souls who flaunt styles gain praises by pounds
Common are speakers who honor the scroll
Scrolls written DAILY creates a new sound
Listeners listen 'cause this here is wisdom
Wisdom of a Speaker, a Dove and a Plug
Set aside a legal substance to feed 'em
For now get 'em high off this dialect drug (Three)
Time is a factor so it's time that counts
Count not the negative actions of one
Speakers of soul say it's time to shout
Three forms the soul to a positive sum
Dance to this fix and flex every muscle
Space can be filled if you rise like my lumber
Advance to the tune but don't do the hustle
Shake, rattle, roll to my magic number
(Three)
Now you may try to subtract it
But it just won't go away
Three times one?
(What is it?)
(One, two, three)
And that's a magic number
Yo, what's up?
One, two, three
(I say, children, what does it all mean?)
(Woah-woah-woah, one, two, three)
(I wouldn't lie to you)
(No more no less, that's a magic number (Three))
(No more no less)
(What it is)
(No more no less)
Is this the future?
(No more no less)
Do the shang-a-lang
(No more no less)
Lord, tomboy tryna talk to me
(No more no less)
Anybody in the audience ever get hit by a car?
(No more no less)
How high's the water, mama?
(No more no less)
How high's the water, mama?
(No more no less)
(Three feet high and rising)
(No more no less)
Three, that's a magic number
A big question posed to me daily on the street
Many want to know the reason why
I'm a rastaman
Many people see I, many people ask I
Why am I a rastaman?
Many people see I, many people ask
Why am I a rastaman?
It's because of the Babylon, and the situation
It's because of the Babylon, and the situation
When I was a boy about 8 years old
There was a certain rastaman
And he love all the childen
And he treated us like a man
Even the little children that no one cares for
He called up everyone
And he gave us fruit and treated everyone
With a special love
Many people see I, many people ask I
Why am I a rastaman?
For he taught I the love
To give to everyone
Many people see I, many people ask I
Why am I a rastaman?
There is no better way to express my love
To each and everyone
One Saturday morning
A special thing happened to this man
Here come Mr. Babylon
He take away the rastaman
To the root of him herb and the meat of him fruit
And throw it in a van
And straight up brother for a trillion years
I never see the rastaman
They took him to general penitentiary
And then send him back as a ballhead man
But that could not change him, his mind was not in prison
Was only his body, man
Many people see I, many people ask I
Why am I a rastaman?
No matter what the battle be
I still have Jah in my hand
Many people see I, many people ask I
Why am I a rastaman?
How sweet the name of Jah Jah sound
To every righteous rastaman
I'm the same old rastaman
Doing me pounds, shillings and pence
Would come out of circulation
And we would use a true bird, man
And I have seen, seven years after that
It was no use, man
Donkey, horses and cross keeper
Trodding upon he a penny man
Everyone see I, everyone ask I
Why am I a Rastaman?
I'm here to prove and to testify
About prophecy
Everyone a see I, everyone a ask I
Why am I a Rastaman?
John the Baptist, Marcus Garvey and Christ
They was a Rastaman
Everyone a see I, everyone a ask I
Why am I a Rastaman?
I vowed the vow of a Nazarite
And I can´t do no otherwise, man
Everybody see I, everybody ask I
Why am I a Rastaman?
I love my brothers and I sisters
And I can not give up a tall man
Brother Brown, brother Chris, brother John, brother Stanley, man
I use to hear them beat the drums and sing
Way in the forest land
Everbody see I, everybody ask I
Why am I a Rastaman?
I love the beat of the Nyahbinghi that call the creation
Everybody see I, everybody ask I
Why am I a Rastaman?
The truth [?]
Prosecute me, prosecute you

There is a HOUSE in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the HOUSE of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me
Only for me
Come to me now (come to me now)
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room (such a cozy room)
The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you, only for you

The simple cost of loving you is a better picture
There is not a sound coming from my voice
You want to listen to the kids
Banging on their halos soon to be divorced
And you're a poor young factory boy
Blowing on your trumpet with a home on the back of your horse
Oh, this is a separation
I can't believe it is the end
You know I don't want to talk about it
Go tell it to your friend
I live and I breathe
With feeling for anything I might have tried
At a point where I can touch her
Everyday I wonder what's going on in her heart
I couldn't eat, sleep,f ind my feet
I think I used a little too much force
Come see me, you can heal me
Turn your head back to the moon
You know you don't have to act so quiet
This is a house, this is not a home
I can't do this anymore, I know it's pointless
I could never be yours
Play to your better nature
We can talk about the old days
I can't help it if you think I am odd
Although our separation
It is too easy, I believe it's your loss
Oh, simple cost of needing you
Is a part into the cause
On the street I can feel a sequel
This is a divorce
[???]
[???] sound coming from my voice
You want to listen to the kids
Banging on their halos soon to be divorced
And you're a poor [???]
Everyday I wonder what's going on in her heart
Oh, simple cost of needing you
Is a part into the cause
On the street I can feel a sequel
This is a divorce
At my house I've got no shackles
You can come and look if you want to
In the halls you'll see the mantles
Where the light shines dim all around you
And the streets are paved with gold and if
Someone asks you, you can call my name
You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
And it's so for real to touch
To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
And the streets are paved with gold and if
Someone asks you, you can call my name
You can call my name
I hear you calling my name, yeah
All right now!
By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools and walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood, and if
You don't think so
Go turn on your tub
And if it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you calling my name
Let me take you to the movie
Can I take you to the show?
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow?
From the houses of the holy
We can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show
You know
There's an angel on my shoulder
In my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden
And the seeds of love I'll sow
You know
So the world is spinning faster
Are you dizzy when you stall?
Let the music be your master
Will you heed the master's call?
Oh, Satan and man
Said there ain't no use in crying
'Cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying?
Was this the only world you had? Oh, oh
So let me take you, take you to the movie
Can I take you, baby, to the show?
Why don't you let me be your ever truly?
Can I make your garden grow?
You know, that's right
