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!
Johnny Cash
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
Now,she walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
The scaffold was high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
The Judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me

There's a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yea
They're all your rich friends who knew you in the city
And now they've finally brought you
Brought you home to me
When you left you know you told me
That some day you'd be returnin'
In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea
Well now everyone is watching you
You finally had your dream, yea
You're ridin' in a long BLACK limousine
You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yea
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Well the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn't see
When you're riding in that long black limousine
Through tear filled eyes I watch as you pass by oh yea
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
Well I never, I never, never, never
Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, they're with you
In that long black limousine
BLACK Is BLACK, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
If I had my way, she'd be here today
But she'd go in time and leave me to cry again
Oh no, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong
Bad is bad, that I feel so sad
It's time, it's time, that I found peace of mind
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong
BLACK Is BLACK, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
Cause I, I'm feeling blue, cause I, I'm feeling blue

Back in BLACK
I hit the sack
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in BLACK
Yes, I'm back in BLACK
Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang
With a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in BLACK

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

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to BLACK
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black
I go back to...
I go back to...
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

A voice inside my car told me today
There was a song of love they would not play
She was black, he was white
A voice inside my car told me today
Black stations, white stations break down the doors
Stand up and face the music, this is 1984
Black stations, white stations feet on the floor
Dance on the ceiling with us, this is 1984, ha!
When I dream, I dream in black and white
Trip the light fantastic through the night
Dance with me while they sleep
When I dream, I dream in black and white
Black stations, white stations break down the doors
Stand up and face the music, this is 1984
Black stations, white stations feet on the floor
Dance on the ceiling with us, this is 1984, ha!
If waves could speak, I wonder what they'd say
The tides are growing stronger everyday
Sink or swim, let them in
If waves could speak, I wonder what they'd say
Black stations, white stations break down the doors
Stand up and face the music, this is 1984
Black stations, white stations feet on the floor
Dance on the ceiling with us, this is 1984, ha!
Black stations, white stations break down the doors
Stand up and face the music, this is 1984
Black stations, white stations feet on the floor

She was black, he was white
She was black, he was white
She was black, he was white
She was black, he was white
[fade]
I see a red door and I want it painted BLACK
No colours anymore, I want them to turn BLACK
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted BLACK
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is BLACK
I see my red door, I must have it painted BLACK
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted BLACK
No colours anymore, I want them to turn BLACK
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm...
I wanna see it painted, painted BLACK
Black as night, BLACK as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted BLACK
Yeah!
Hmm, hmm, hmm...

Tears of rain run down my window pane
I'm on my own again,
good evening, sorrow
Sit and dream of how
things might have been
And as I close my eyes,
I get the strangest feeling
KNOCK, knock, who's there?
Could this be love that's calling?
The door is always open wide
Knock, knock, who's there?
Now, as the night is falling
Take off your coat and come inside
Climb the stair and then I say a prayer
For someone who could share my situation
But instead as I lay down my head
I have to leave it all to my imagination
Knock, knock, who's there?
Could this be love that's calling?
The door is always open wide
Knock, knock, who's there?
Now, as the night is falling
Take off your coat and come inside
La, la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la, la
La, la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la, la
Sit and dream of how
things might have been
And as I close my eyes
I get the strangest feeling
Knock, knock, who's there?
Could this be love that's calling?
The door is always open wide
Knock, knock, who's there?
Now, as the night is falling
Take off your coat and come inside
Ah, ah, ah
Take off your coat and come inside

Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.
Well, you can KNOCK me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I hear you KNOCK on my door
And it will be just like before you were gone
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And you will be wondering what to do all alone
One more night I won't miss you
One more day I'll be alright
A few more hours to watch the rain fall
I don't miss you at all
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again
I can do what I want, don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night, don't need your body right next to me
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I hear you knock on my door
And it will be just like before you were gone
Maybe tonight and then maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And you will be wondering what to do all alone
I can do what I want, don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night, don't need your body next to me
Maybe tonight and maybe tomorrow

I know you're a lonely woman and I love you
But someone else is waiting and he owns you
If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love
If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name
And if you walk in your sleep FORGET where you came
Walking every night here in the shadows
So afraid that sometime he may follow
There's always the chance he'll find us
I don't need to remind you
If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Love is so much sweeter when it's borrowed
I'll feel a little easier tomorrow
Don't give our secret away, be careful what you say
If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Forget where you came, now
Forget where you came
Don't mention my name
Don't mention my name
Forget where you came

I remember to this day, the bright red Georgia clay
How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain
Will power made that old car go, a woman's mind told me that it's so
Oh, how I wish we were back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love bein' a free man
I can still recall the wheat fields of St. Paul
And the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen
Old Mac Donald, he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas and back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love bein' a free man
I'll never FORGET that day we motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin' down in my brain
Though it's only been a month or so, that old car's buggin' us to go
You gotta get away and get back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love bein' a free man
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love bein' a free man
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land

Forget that girl
She'll never make you happy
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her
Forget that girl
She'll only bring you down again
Forget that girl
She'll only make you lonely
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her
There was a time when she could really love you
When she was thinking only of you
But now she's thrown herself above you
And there's nothing you can do
Forget that girl

Forget that girl
Even though you love her
She's in love with him, my friend

Ooh, woah
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving everything inside and out and
Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't you, FORGET about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, FORGET about me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah
Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity, insecurity, ah
Don't you FORGET about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't you, FORGET about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, FORGET about me

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I'll never FORGET him
Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry, each time we meet
Walk on by
Walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In PRIVATE , 'cause each time I see you, I break down and cry
Walk on by
(Don't stop)
Walk on by

Walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by

The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye

Tell me lawyer what to do
I think I'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my PRIVATE life, mm
I'm sure that we can make a deal (yeah)
I confess I'm a fool for men
With a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match
For this heart of mine (for this heart of mine)
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
Your sense of justice I'll embrace
But your defense don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer, gotta catch me when I fall
Oh, they say that you match your wits
With the best of them
But I know when I'm close you're just
Like the rest of them (like the rest of them)
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in
Open up your heart and let me in
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
Ooh, a little reaction
I'm just using my female charm
On a typical male, on a typical male
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical
All I want, ooh, a little reaction
Just enough
Well, the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

You don't think of them at all

Keeping your eyes on the wall
I'm your PRIVATE dancer
A dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your PRIVATE dancer

Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family

American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?
I'm your PRIVATE dancer
A dancer for money
Do what you want me to do
Just a PRIVATE dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall
I'm your PRIVATE dancer
A dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your PRIVATE dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do
I'm your PRIVATE dancer
A dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your PRIVATE dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do
I'm your PRIVATE dancer, a dancer for money
I'm your PRIVATE dancer, a dancer for money
I'm your PRIVATE dancer, a dancer for money
Just a PRIVATE dancer, a dancer for money

Oh, the Silver Bullet Band, yeah
Oh, walked 47 miles about wide
Used a corporate snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
Made out of rattlesnake hide
Brand new chimney that they built on top
Made out of a human skull
Come and take a little walk with me, Arnie
Tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love? Now hit me
Who do you love? Again
Who do you love?
Oh!
Arnie took me by my hands and said
"Come on, Robert, you know you're my man"
I said, "Who do you love, Arnie?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?"
Night was dark, the sky was blue
Down the attic a night swingin' through
Hit a bum chop, someone screamed, Lord
All I heard was what I seen, I said
"Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?"
Sorry bella!

Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
You're living in your own Private Idaho
Living in your own Private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato.
Don't go on the patio.
Beware of the pool,
blue bottomless pool.
It leads you straight
right throught the gate
that opens on the pool.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.
Keep off the path, beware of the gate,
watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways".
Don't let the chlorine in your eyes
blind you to the awful surprise
that's waitin' for you at
the bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue pool.
You're livin in your own Private Idaho. Idaho.
You're out of control, the rivers that roll,
you fell into the water and down to Idaho.
Get out of that state,
get out of that state you're in.
You better beware.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.
Keep off the patio,
keep off the path.
The lawn may be green
but you better not be seen
walkin' through the gate that leads you down,
down to a pool fraught with danger
is a pool full of strangers.
You're living in your own Private Idaho,
where do I go from here to a better state than this.
Well, don't be blind to the big surprise
swimming round and round like the deadly hand
of a radium clock, at the bottom of the pool.
I-I-I-daho
I-I-I-daho
Woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own Private Idaho,
livin in your own Private.... Idaho

It was seven hundred fence posts from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was rainin', sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine
I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
It's been seven years, tomorrow, since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now
Standin' in the backyard, remindin' me and you
That if we don't see eye-to-eye, there's somethin' we can do
I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
Babe, I love the way we work it out
That's what love is all about
I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
I'd start walking your way, you'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I've got a feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I don't know how I'll get down the stairs
Well it's clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the MIDDLE and with you
Yes I'm stuck in the MIDDLE with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile on my face
When I'm going all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the MIDDLE with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your family comes all crawling
Slaps you on the back and saying
Please, please
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
I don't think I can take anymore
Well, clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Ooh, stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Yeah, stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Here I am stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Here I am stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Yes I am stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Yeah, stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Ooh, stuck in the MIDDLE with you
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the MIDDLE , will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the MIDDLE , will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Doo wop doo wop ...

[Verse 1]
Did you see that man in the limousine?
With the pretty girl, he is fifty and the girl's only seventeen
But she doesn't care, and she never will
If he's ninety-five she don't give a damn
Just as long as he pays the bill
[Verse 2]
Did you see that man with a fat cigar?
He just left his lunch with a belly full of lobster and caviar
He can choose the wine from a vintage year
He will drink champagne in his limousine
While the rest of us drink a beer
[Chorus]
'Cause he's the man in the MIDDLE, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss
You double-cross
'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
He's never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil 'cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
[Post-Chorus]
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle...
[Verse 3]
But you see that man made a big mistake
Even though he's got all his servants and a mansion beside a lake
And the money too, all that he can spend
He can buy the most, nearly anything
But he can't buy an honest friend
[Chorus]
'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss
You double-cross
'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
He's never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil 'cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
[Post-Chorus]
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle...

Six o'clock already
I was just in the MIDDLE of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My "I don't have to run" day
It's just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an airplane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long just to figure out
What I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there
It's just another manic Monday
Wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My "I don't have to run" day
It's just another manic Monday
All of my nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
"C'mon honey, let's go make some noise"
Time it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
"I don't have to run" day
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
It's just a manic Monday

The MIDDLE of the road is trying to find me
I'm standing in the MIDDLE of life with my plans behind me
Well I got a smile for everyone I meet
As long as you don't try dragging my bay
Or dropping the bomb on my street
Now come on baby
Get in the road
Oh come on now
In the MIDDLE of the road, yeah
In the MIDDLE of the road you see the darndest things
Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits
Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids
Oh man I don't mean a hampstead nursery
When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
The babies just come with the scenery
Oh come on baby
Get in the road
Oh come on now
In the MIDDLE of the road, yeah
One...two...three...four...
The MIDDLE of the road is no private cul-de-sac
I can't get from the cab to the curb
Without some little jerk on my back
Don't harass me, can't you tell
I'm going home, I'm tired as hell
I'm not the cat I used to be
I got a kid, I'm thirty-three
Baby, get in the road
Come on now
In the MIDDLE of the road
Yeah

It's Britney, bitch
I see you
And I just wanna dance with you
Every time they turn the lights down
Just wanna go that extra mile for you (you)
Public display of affection (ah-ah-ah)
Feels like no one else in the room (but you)
We can get down like there's no one around
We keep on rockin' (we keep on rockin'), we keep on rockin' (we keep on rockin')
Cameras are flashin' while we're dirty dancin'
They keep watchin' (and they keep watchin'), keep watchin'
Feels like the crowd is saying
Gimme, gimme (more), gimme (more), gimme, gimme (more)
Gimme, gimme (more), gimme (more), gimme, gimme (more)
Gimme, gimme (more), gimme (more), gimme, gimme (more)
Gimme, gimme (more), gimme (more), gimme, gimme (more)
A CENTRE of attention (do you feel that?)
Even when we're up against the wall
You got me in a crazy position (yeah)
If you're on a mission (uh-huh), you got my permission, oh (oh)
We can get down like there's no one around
We keep on rockin' (we keep on rockin'), we keep on rockin' (oh, uh-huh)
Cameras are flashin' while we're dirty dancin'
They keep watchin' (they keep watchin'), keep watchin'
(Feels like the crowd is sayin')
Gimme, gimme (more), gimme (more), gimme, gimme (more)

The Incredible Lago (more, more, m-m-m-m-m-m-)
The legendary Miss Britney Spears
And the unstoppable Danja
Ah, you're gonna have to remove me
'Cause I ain't going nowhere (more, more, m-m-m-m-m-m-more)

Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams
Where things are really not
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
But please realize
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the CENTER of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind

Out of the grip
If you want me
You can find me
Left of centre
Off of the strip

In the corner
Out of the grip
When they ask me "What are you looking at?"
I always answer "Nothing much" (not much)
I think they know that
I'm looking at them I think they think
I must be out of touch
But I'm only
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge
And off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me

Wondering about you
I think that somehow
Somewhere inside of us
We must be similar
If not the same

There's no present, there's no future
I don't even know about the past
It's all timeless and never-ending
And for me to think it's all too vast
It goes forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes tomorrow
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity
The time is coming, but also going
And it's leaving never to return
It may be heaven, could be forever
But if it's hell then you can watch me burn
It goes forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes tomorrow
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity
I've got to travel forever
It's all within my mind
An endless path to endeavor
Forever is a long, long time
There's no secrets and no corruption
In the CENTRE of infinity
There's no limits to non-existence
And no beginning to my destiny
It goes forever and ever
You thought you knew but you never
There goes tomorrow
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity
Journey to the CENTRE of eternity

My daddy was the family bassman
My mama was an engineer
And I was born one dark gray morn'
With music coming in my ears, in my ears
They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
Scoot down the road, what's my NUMBER?
I wonder how your engines feel
Shine a light
My daddy was a prominent frogman
My mama's in the Naval reserve
When I was young I carried a gun
But I never got the chance to serve, I did not serve
They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
Scoot down the road, what's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
My daddy got a big promotion
My mama got a raise in pay
There's no one home, we're all alone
Oh, come to my room and play, yes, we can play
I'm not talking about your pigtails
But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines-
Scoot down the road, what's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
On video, that is the world champion
Just completing his run
On the spectator side...

We hear you're leaving, that's okay
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that NUMBER
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better

Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show (wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming (glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly I feel all right (and suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different when I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a NUMBER one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won't feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Facing twenty-thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only (still I'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy (think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright (you'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different when I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me (super trouper)
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a NUMBER one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won't feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms and hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me (super trouper)
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won't feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (super trouper)
Smiling, having fun (super trouper)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me (super trouper)
But I won't feel blue (super trouper)
Like I always do (super trouper)

One is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest NUMBER since the NUMBER one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
'Cause one is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest NUMBER, whoa-oh, worse than two
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now, I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest NUMBER
One is the loneliest NUMBER
One is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
(NUMBER)
One is the loneliest (NUMBER)
One is the loneliest (NUMBER)
One is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
(NUMBER)
One is the loneliest (NUMBER)
One is the loneliest (NUMBER)
One is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
(NUMBER)
One...! (NUMBER one is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do)
(NUMBER)
One is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
(NUMBER)
One is the loneliest NUMBER that you'll ever do
I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name
I show up late and I'm docked
It never fails
I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field
To workers I'm just another drone
To Ma Bell I'm just another phone
I'm just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers I'm just another child
To IRS I'm another file
I'm just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it's me
And I feel like a NUMBER
Feel like a NUMBER
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a NUMBER
I'm not a NUMBER
I'm not a NUMBER
Dammit I'm a man
I said I'm a man
