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!

When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
YOU’RE still the one I love, mmm, yeah-yeah
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong, mm
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong
oh
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
You're still the one
Yeah (you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life, oh yeah
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
YOU'RE still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
YOU'RE still the one I want to talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun, and YOU'RE still the one
I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go (Wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
YOU'RE still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun, and YOU'RE still the one
YOU'RE still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having fun, and YOU'RE still the one (Yes, you are)
Changing, our love it comes and goes
Even though we grow, it grows too
YOU'RE still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and YOU'RE still the one
YOU'RE still the one who can scratch my itch
YOU'RE still the one that I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and YOU'RE still the one
You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and YOU'RE still the one
YOU'RE still the one
Yeah, still the one
We're still having fun
And YOU'RE still the one

Feeling better now that we're through
Feeling better, 'cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
And now I see how you really are
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, YOU'RE no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
Broke her heart, was gentle and true
I left a girl for someone like you
I'll beg her forgiveness on bended knee
But I wouldn't blame her if she said to me
You're no good, it's no good, it's no good
Baby, it's no good
I'm gonna say it again
It's no good, it's no good, it's no good
Baby, it's no good
Mm, no good
If she'll have me, we'll start anew
It'll be easy forgetting you
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it out loud
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
Oh oh oh
I'm putting you down, baby, and I'm going away
Forget about you, baby, I'm a-leaving to stay
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
Hey hey hey
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good

You say it's tough
Having nowhere to go
And no one to meet you baby
You say it's rough
Havin' all this to show
And no one to see you maybe
You take a a walk
Don't even stop
When you get to the end
You say "Hey!" (Hey!)
You think YOU'RE tough
You handle your own
You call the shots, come on,
No way
When you find your own way out
Then YOU'RE on your own
When you find there's no way out
YOU'RE not alone
You think YOU'RE tough
Harder than stone
You think YOU'RE tough
Your talk's gettin' old
You think YOU'RE tough
Harder than stone
You think YOU'RE tough

To push and shove
My foolish love, well maybe
You say your luck
Is runnin' on empty
Don't try and confuse me baby
You take a a walk
Don't even stop
When you get to the end
You say "Hey!" (Hey!)
Just wanna win
Don't wanna lose

Life is timeless, days are long when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young
Life is new and there's things to be done
You can't wait to be grown up
Acceptance into the capital world
You pull on some weed, then you pull on someone when you're young
But you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to comprehend
Why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end
But you don't mind you've got time on your side
And they're never gonna make you stand in line
You're just waiting for the right time
You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone
No corporations for the new age sons
Tears of rage roll down your face
But still you say "it's fun"
And you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to understand
Why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam
It's got you in its grip before you're born
It's done with the use of a dice and a board
They let you think you're king but you're really a pawn
You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum

A little time - The Beautiful South
only registered users can see external links
I need a little time to think it over
I need a little space just on my own
I need a little time to find my freedom
I need a little
Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn't it, isn't it?
Your face has been looking like that for hours, hasn't it, hasn't it?
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust
I need a little room to find myself
I need a little space to work it out
I need a little room all alone
I need a little
You need a little room for your big head, don't you, don't you?
You need a little space for a thousand beds, won't you, won't you?
Lips that promise, fear the worst
Tongue so sharp, the bubble burst
Just into unjust
I've had a little time to find the truth
Now I've had a little room to CHECK what's wrong
I've had a little time, and I still love you
I've had a little
You had a little time and you had a little fun, didn't ya, didn't you?
While you had yours, do you think I had none, do you, do ya?
The freedom that you wanted bad
Is yours for good, I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad
I had a little time to think it over
Had a little room to work it out
I found a little courage to call it off
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
Check it check it out, check it out, check it check it out
Bring it bring it on, bring it on, come on, come on
Check it check it out, check it out, check it check it out
My name is Crash
Side winding I flash like a burning flare
Don't look away 'cause I'm already in there
I've been there wherever you stare
I've been there longer than you care to remember
Buried deep inside you
Now you must step to accept all the past behind you
Pain breeding pain and it's back again
Only the scars in your brain remain
So you look for a vent, you consent to escape
What's gone and now I'm on
From the nipple to the needle to the bottle
And you're never satisfied
For these crimes you must be tried
You can't hide 'cause I am reality
Your birthright is a world of insanity
Disconnected legacy and you will never see
An end to the global savagery
Continuing to feed your desire for more
But deep down you know the truth
You'll never find what you're looking for
It's gone and you can't buy it back
And now your senses are under attack
So you act automatic and turn
To the frantic nation of addicts
Reduced to the manic, false erratic
Solemn, doped up slaves
And servants of greed because you were
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into the age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Now I'm going all city with the master plan
I'm faster man and I'm about to tell you just who I am
I am the reality you can't escape
The visions recorded on disk and tape
The ****, the horror, the shame so familiar
My words fill you with dread and then kill you dead
Stone cold in your stride
I fill a hole in your soul around fifty miles wide
I'm the contradiction each time you speak
I keep you weakened, I get down at your feet
I am the part that you can never reconcile
You're right here but you're living in exile
Walking in cities of stone, the shadows groan
Thousands of people but you're all alone
In your own little zone like a drone
Working in hives all your lives, bowing down to the throne
The overlords made in your own image
Anesthetized you in the global village
Now you're finished, dependent, lost in a maze
You're dazed as you stare at the glowing blaze
Erased, your future pulses in a computer
I am you, now how'd that suit ya?
Inherited chaos now instilled as I willed
And now I just wait for the kill as they're
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Oh, what'ch'you...what are you sayin?
All you Trekkies and TV addicts
Don't mean to diss, don't mean to bring static
All you Klingons in the fucking house
Grab your backstreet friend and get loud
Blowin' doors off hinges
I'll grab you with the pinchers
And no, I didn't retire
I'll snatch you up with a needle nose pliers
Like Mutual of Omaha
Got the ill boat you've never seen before
Glidin' in the glades
And like Lorne Greene, you know I get paid
Like caprese and with the basil
Not goofy like Darren or Hazel
I'm a motherfuckin' Nick at Night
With classics rerunning that you know all right
Now remain calm, no alarm
'Cause my farm ain't fat
So what's up with that?
I've got friends and family that I respect
When I think I'm too good, they put me in check
So believe when I say I'm no better than you
Except when I rap, so I guess it ain't true
Like that, y'all, and you just don't stop
Guaranteed to make your body rock
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
What-wha-what-what-what's it all about
Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Let's turn this muthafucking party out
I said, "Doc, what's the condition?
I'm a man that's on a mission"
He said, "Son, you'd better listen
Stuck in your ass is an electrician"
Like a scientist
Mmm, when I'm applying this
Method of controlling my mind
Like Einstein and the Rapping Duke combined
Now, hey, baby bubba, now what's the deal?
I didn't know you go for that mass appeal
Some call it salugi, some hot potato
I stole your mic, but you won't see it later
'Cause I work magic like a magician
I add up, the mathematician
I'm a bank cashier, engineer
I wear cotton and I don't wear sheer
Shazam and abracadabra
In the whip, I'm gonna cruise past ya
Yo, money, don't chump yourself
Put that shit back on the shelf
Light rays blazing, you're out of phase, and my crew's amazing
We're working on the record, yo, so just stay patient
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
What-wha-what-what-what's it all about
Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Let's turn this motherfucking party out
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
Now, I go by the name of the King Ad-Rock
I don't wear a cup nor a jock
I bring the shit that's beyond bizarre
Like Miss Piggy (Who, moi?)
I am the one with the clientele
You say, "Ad-Rock, you rock so well"
I've got class like pink champale
MCA, grab the mic before the mic goes stale
Don't test me, they can't arrest me
I'll fake right, cross-over and shoot lefty
You look upset, yo, calm down
You look like Cable Guy dunked off of your crown
I flow like smoke out a chimney
You never been me
You wanna rap but what you're making ain't hip-hop, B
Now-
Get your clothes right out the dryer
Put Armor All up on your tire
Sport that fresssssh attire
Tonight we goin' out, set the town on fire
Set the town ablaze
Gonna stun and amaze
Ready to throw a craze
Make your granny shake her head and say "those were the days"
Now check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
What-wha-what-what-what's it all about
Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Let's turn this motherfucking party out
Well I’m the Candyman, and the Candyman is back
Mark it clean, keep it clean now

C’est mon appel, baby doll, for your pleasure tonight

If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will PAY the price
But we will not count the cost
And if love remains
I just got paid today
Got me a pocket full of change
Said, I just got paid today
Got me a pocket full of change
If you believe like workin' hard all day
Just step in my shoes and take my pay
I was born my papa's son
When I hit the ground I was on the run
I had one glad hand and the other behind
You can have yours, just give me mine
When the hound dog barkin' in the black of the night
Stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right
I just got paid today
Got me a pocket full of change
Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool?
Yes, I do, man, my bag is full
It's the root of evil and you know the rest
But it's way ahead of what's second best

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
You drink all you can but you won´t forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd
That´s the price of love, the price of love
The debt you PAY with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when you´re to blame
Kiss one girl, you kiss another
You kiss themall but you won´t recover
You´re dancing slow, you´re dancing fast
You´re happy now but that won´t last
That´s the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
Costs you more when you´re to blame
That´s the price of love, the price of love

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
In the morning sun
In the morning sun
In the morning sun
In the morning sun
In the morning sun
In the morning sun
In the morning sun
(This is song two on the album
This is the album right here
Put on the album)
Tonight the city is full of morgues
And all the toilets are overflowing
There's shopping malls coming out of the walls
As we walk out among the manure
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
Give the finger to the rock n roll singer
As he's dancing upon your pay check
The sales climb high through the garbage pail sky
Like a giant dildo crushing the sun
That's why
I pay no mind
Sleep in slime
I just got signed
So get out your lead pipe pipe dreams
Get out your ten-foot flags
The insects are huge
And the poison's all been used
And the drugs won't kill your day job
Honey
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind

A certain measure of innocence
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make believe
A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfaction
In a willingness to risk defeat
Celebrate the moment as it turns into one more
Another chance at victory, another chance to score
The measure of the moment is a difference of degrees
Just one little victory, a spirit breaking free
One little victory
The greatest act can be one little victory
A certain measure of righteousness
A certain amount of force
A certain degree of determination
Daring on a different course
A certain amount of resistance
To the forces of the light and love
A certain measure of tolerance
A willingness to rise above
One little victory
One little victory
One little victory
One little victory
Celebrate the moment as it turns into one more
Another chance at victory, another chance to score
The measure of the moment is a difference of degrees
Just one little victory, a spirit breaking free
The greatest act can be one little victory

I closed my eyes
Drew back the curtain
To see for CERTAIN
What I thought I knew
Far, far away
Someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat (I wore my coat)
With golden lining
Bright colors shining
Wonderful and new
And in the east (and in the east)
The dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return (may I return)
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I (the world and I)
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return (may I return)
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I (the world and I)
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
Any dream will do
(Any dream, any dream, any dream)
Any dream will do
(Any dream, any dream, any dream)
Any dream will do

I got a CERTAIN little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
they got it early in the morning
(Love, love) they got it late in the evening
(Love, love) well, I want that, need it
(Love, love) oh, I gotta gotta have it
She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Listen hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now

Ev'rytime you kiss me
I'm still not CERTAIN that you love me
Ev'ry time you hold me
I'm still not certain that you care
Though you keep on saying
you really, really, really love me
do you speak the same words
To someone else when I'm not there
Suspicion torments my heart
Suspicion keeps us apart
Suspicion why torture me
Ev'rytime you call me
and tell me we should meet tomorrow
I can't help but think that
you're meeting someone else tonight
Why should our romance just
keep on causing me such sorrow?
Why am I so doubtful
whenever you're out of sight?
Darling, if you love me,
I beg you wait a little longer
Wait until I drive all
these foolish fears out of my mind
How I hope and pray that
our love will keep on growing stronger
Maybe I'm suspicious
'cause true love is so hard to find

Ha Ha said the clown - Manfred Mann

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 good-bye.
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.

Think of you with pipe and slippers,
think of her in bed.
Laying there just watching telly,
then think of me instead.
I'll never grow so old and flabby,
that could never be.
Don't marry her, fuck me
And your love light shines like cardboard,
but your work shoes are glistening.
She's a Ph. D in 'I told you so',
you've a knighthood in 'I'm not listening'.
She'll GRAB your sweaty bollockes,
then slowly raise her knee.
Don't marry her, fuck me
And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay,
and you realise you can't make it anyway.
You have to wash the car,
take the kiddies to the park.
Don't marry her, fuck me
Those lovely Sunday mornings,
with breakfast brougt in bed.
those blackbirds look like knitting needles,
trying to peck your head.
those birds will peck your soul out,
and throw away the key.
Don't marry her, fuck me
And the kitchen's always tidy,
and the bathroom is always clean.
She's a diploma in 'just hiding things',
you've a first in 'low esteem'.
When your socks smlll of angels,
but your life smells of Brie.
Don't marry her, fuck me.
And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay,
and you realise you can't make it anyway.
You have to wash the car,
take the kiddies to the park.
Don't marry her, have me.

Now, listen up, you know, ya come home from that nine-to-five and lay yourself down on that burgundy couch, you know, it never really was burgundy
It was red, and you painted with the goddamn sprinkler and now you have bits and pieces of burgundy stuck to your butt every time you get off of it
You never tell your family, you never tell your family because, you know, ol' Junior, he's got no brains, and what can you do? What can you do?
Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You'll be feeling just fine
Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the house
Swillin' down them cans of swine
Ha ha ha! Yes, Dad's an idiot alright!
Well, alright, I'm really starting to worry about you. You had to have that two-car garage with the large driveway so you could park that goddamn boat in it. If it wasn't for the boat (blah blah blah)
Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You'll be feeling just fine
Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the house
Swillin' down them cans of swine
Yeah, cans of swine
I like cans of swine
I-I mean like cans of swine
Not like Kansas wine
Well, maybe it's something simpler, you know, like your team lost or your girlfriend used to be a guy, you know, I don't know. I mean...(blah blah blah)

There once was a musical troupe
A pickin' singin' folk group
They sang the mountain ballads
And the folk songs of our land
They were long on musical ability
Folks thought they would go far
But political incompatibility
Led to their downfall
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the MIDDLE was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear was a Methodist
This musical aggregation
Toured the entire nation
Singing the traditional ballads
And the folk songs of our land (land)
They performed with great virtuosity
And soon they were the rage
But political animosity
Prevailed upon the stage
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license
Well the curtain had ascended
A hush fell on the crowd
As thousands there were gathered
To hear the folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously
And that night at the concert hall
As the audience watched deliriously
They had a free-for-all
Well, the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy in the rear said, "Oh dear"
Now this should be a lesson
If you plan to start a folk group
Don't go mixin' politics
With the folk songs of our land
Just work on harmony and diction
Play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions
Keep 'em to yourself
Now, the one on the left works in a bank
And the one in the middle drives a truck
The one on the right's an all-night deejay
And the guy in the rear got drafted

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom
Some, some boys are tryin' too hard
He don't try at all, though
Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the MIDDLE of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby (mmm)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I'll take my time
Are you ready for it?
Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist
And we'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every lover known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I-I-I see how this is gon' go (go)
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low (low)
No one has to know
(No one has to know)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (eh)
You should see the things we do (we do), baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I'll take my time
Are you ready for it?
Oh, are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin (now)
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
You should see the things we do (we do), baby (baby, mmm, eh)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time (eh)
In the middle of the night
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
I am not a Taylor Swift fan but the video did catch my eye and then the song stuck with me.

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest

Mother has to iron his shirt

Sees them off with a small kiss (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways

Our house, in the MIDDLE of our
I remember way back then
When everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time, such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play
Simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us
Two dreamers
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep

They seek him here
They seek him there
His clothes are loud
But never square
It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of FASHION
And when he does his little rounds
'Round the boutiques of London town
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he's in stripes
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
They seek him here
They seek him there
In Regent Street
And Leicester Square
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (Oh yes, he is)
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly
In matters of the cloth, he is as fickle as can be
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion

Artificial flowers - The Beautiful South

Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.
This poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away;
Still brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of FASHION to wear;
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
Fashions from Annie's despair.
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum.
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb.
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.
They found little Annie all covered in ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears.
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.
No more artificial flowers;
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Those dumb-dumb flowers,
Fashioned from Annie's,
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's
Des-pa-a-a-air.
(Give her the real thing!)
Just an old FASHIONED love song playing on the radio
And wrapped around the music
Is the sound of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone
Just an old FASHIONED love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old FASHIONED love song
Coming down in three part harmony
To weave our dreams upon and listen
To each evening when the lights are low
To underscore our love affair with tenderness and feeling
That we've come to know
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone
Just an old FASHIONED love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old FASHIONED love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old FASHIONED love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old FASHIONED love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
To weave our dreams upon and listen to a song
Just an old song coming down
Just (just) an old song
What I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just (just) an old song
Coming down
Just an old FASHIONED love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old FASHIONED love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old FASHIONED love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old FASHIONED love song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old FASHIONED love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Each day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
Cos' fashion is my only culture
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else
I don't try, I've got no reason
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
I walk along this same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find a reason
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don't complain, it's not my function
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
They're just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
They're just playing in a life without thinking
They talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I walk and walk, I'm dreaming
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing

Oh oh yeah ooh
We text as we eat
As we listen to the freaks
As we wait for the right of way
We text as we talk
We're running as we walk
'Cause we're several little souls away
We smoke as we choke
As we sink another Coke
And we grin when it blows our minds
We skate as we date
As we slowly suffocate
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time
-Chorus-
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped away
So chill now whoah
We've got many years to go
So take it day by day
And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last hello
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore
We spend as we mend
'Cause we're happy to pretend
Everything's gonna be OK
We shake as we break
Never giving 'til we take
And we hate when we have to pay
We flirt while we work
To forget about the hurt
And the TRASH that we left behind
We sink as we swim
The ice is wearing thin
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time
-Chorus-
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped away
So chill now whoah
We've got many years to go
So take it day by day
And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last hello
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore
-Chorus-
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped away
So chill now whoah
We've got many years to go
So take it day by day
And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last hello
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore

Your cash ain't nothing but trash (Take 1).
Here we go.
Yeah, you may have heart about the gangster of love and the space cowboy,
but I'm gonna whip a cat on you right now who's had more trouble, trials and tribulations.
One, two, three, hey
Yeah
It's alright
Look here
I was walking down the main track
One night
I met a fine chick
She was built just right
She stopped when I flashed my roll
I told her she could have all of my dough
She turned around and with a frown
She said this ain't no circus
And I don't need a clown
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
And there ain't no need in your hangin' around
Just to make a hit with that chick
I tried to get a Cadillac right quick
The man at the place he looked so strange
I had 900 bucks and some change
We disagreed
I tried to plead
Well, he said I ain't a chicken
And I don't need your feed
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Well, baby you're crawling way past your speed
I was walkin' into town in my white bucks
A man with a gun, he said hands up
I tried to get away but too slow
He got me and took all of my doughI heard him shout
As he cut out
Well you ain't lost nothin'
What you cryin' about
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
And he took my watch and I passed out
I woke up in the arms of a big cop
Police station
Next stop
Judge swung his fist down
Plunk plunk
$20 fine cause you're drunk
Pick up the dough
And you can go
All I had was a buffalo
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
Your cash ain't nothin' but TRASH
But I'm sure gonna get me some more

If it's square, we ain't there.

Breakin' out,
About to shout
Feel the need for one more round
Don't you struggle, try to bite
You want some trouble, I'm the king of vice
I'm a wreckin' ball, I'm a stingin' knife
Steal your money, gonna take your life
You got screamin' murder, lock up your door
Double dealin' gotta have more

Just tell the boys that I'm gonna be
Back in business again
Back in business again
Back in business again
Back in business again
Flesh and blood, I'm a rag 'n' bone
Bad luck message on the telephone
Don't you worry, play my game
I'll do you a favor, got your soul for sale
I'm a cannon ball goin' down the track
Need good lovin' but I want it back
Born in trouble, they gave up on me
Teacher preachin' what not to be
Call me dirty, TRASH my name
Just tell the boys that I'm gonna be
Back in business again
Back in business again
Back in business again
Back in business again
You know, I was in
New York City a few months ago
And the garbage and the
Trash men were on strike
I'm talking about the
Maintenance people for the city
What they were trying to do was
They were trying to get
A little more money
You know, get a little raise in pay
But at that particular time
The city was broke
They were about ready
To declare default
I tell you, the garbage in some places
Was stacked up two, three stories high
At night, heh, boy, at night
It wasn't even safe to
Walk the streets, you see
Cause the rats
The roaches and the water bugs
I mean they were hustling, baby
Trying to get something to eat, see
And let me tell you something
It was stinking
Boy, there was all kind
Of disease in there
You know, but it only brought
To mind the fact that you can
No longer depend on the man downtown
To take care of business like
He's supposed to when he's supposed to
In order for us to get it
Like it's supposed to be
As far as cleanliness
You know, and safety
We gotta get together
And do it for ourselves
That's the only way it's gonna be done
And you know what I'm talking about
Let me tell you what I mean
(Clean it up, clean it up)
Well, y'all, get it
(Clean it up, clean it up)
You've gotta get it
(Clean it up, clean it up)
Get it, you know you get it
(Clean it up, clean it up)
Ghetto, talking bout the ghetto
Ghetto is our home
That's where we live
Where we live
Get your paint
Get your hammer, your nails
Get your brooms
Your mop and your pails
We gonna wash it, polish
And make it all clean
Let's wash away all of the sin
Time for a new life to begin
In the ghetto
I said
Clean it up, clean it up
I said we gonna
Clean it up, clean it up
Because the ghetto
I said the ghetto
Ghetto is our home
(That's where we live
Where we live)
Let's paint a sign
Everybody can read
Let's get rid of everything
We don't need
The pushers, the dealers
The pocketbook snatchers
And thieves, uh huh
Let's make the streets safe
For women to walk
Let's get rid of all the vulgar talk
We gotta do it
In order for us to survive
I said we gotta
(Clean it up, clean it up) do it
We, we got to
(Clean it up, clean it up)
Yeah, hey
(Ghetto) sunny ghetto, oh
(Ghetto, ghetto is our home)
That's where we live from day to day
(That's where we live
Where we live) yeah
All of you brothers
That live on the main line
You lived in the ghetto
Once upon a time
We need everybody to lend a hand
Now you've helped everybody else
Now's the time for you
To help yourself
We can't depend
Depend on the people downtown
Well, well, get it up, get it up
Clean it up, clean it up
Well, well
Clean it up, clean it up
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Ghetto) yeah
Ghetto (ghetto) ghetto
Ghetto is our home
Yeah, that's where we live
Where we live, well

Get it up, get it up

Cold, late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
I never seen eyes so blue
You know, I could not run away it seemed
We'd seen each other in a dream
Seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me, yeah
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile
But try to UNDERSTAND, try to UNDERSTAND
Try, try, try to UNDERSTAND, I'm a magic man"
Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
"Never think of never let this spell last forever"
Well, summer lover passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried, growing up in a hurry
"Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
But try to UNDERSTAND, try to UNDERSTAND
Try, try, try to UNDERSTAND, he's a magic man, Mama, ah
He's a magic man
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
But try to UNDERSTAND, try to UNDERSTAND
Oh, oh, try, try, try to UNDERSTAND,
He's a magic man, oh, he's got the magic hands
Oh's over top
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"
But try to UNDERSTAND, try to UNDERSTAND
Try, try, try to UNDERSTAND, he's a magic man, yeah, oh

Here, here in this world
Where do we go, where can we turn?
When we need some love it seems that love
Just can't be found
Where, where do we stand
When love's supply don't meet love's demand?
We got enough stars to light the sky at night
Enough sun to make the whole world bright
We got more than enough, but there's one thing
There's just not enough of
Not enough love and UNDERSTANDING
We could use some love
To ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why? Oh, why?
Spend all of our time building buildings up to the sky
Reaching everywhere but where we need to reach the most
Hearts never can win, oh in this race
This race that we're in
We've got enough cars to drive around the world
Enough planes to take us anywhere
We got more than enough, but there's one thing
There's just not enough of
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love
To ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why? Oh, why?
We need some understanding
We need a little more love
Some love and understanding
Enough stars to light the sky at night
Enough sun to make the whole world bright
Enough hearts to find some love inside
We've got more than enough, but there's one thing
There's just not enough of
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love
To ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why? Oh, why?
We've got to find love
(Got to find some love)
Find some love (to ease these troubled times)
(Not enough) Not enough love and understanding
Why? (Why?) Why? Why? Why? Why?
Tell me why, tell me why
Not enough love and understanding
Oh why? Not enough love
Why? Why? Why?
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love
To ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why? Oh, why?
Not enough
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watching the puddles gather rain
And all I can do
Is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it's not sane
It's not sane
I just want someone to say to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll always be there when you wake, yeah, yeah
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey
So stay with me and I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
Escape
Escape
Escape
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view and I'm insane
It's not sane
It's not sane
I just want someone to say to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll always be there when you wake, yeah, yeah
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey
So stay with me and I'll have it made
I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
And I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
Oh no, no
You know we're really gonna
Really gonna have it made
You know we'll have it made
(I'll have it made)
(I'll have it made)
(I'll have it made)
(I'll have it made)
Maybe If i pray every night
You'll come back to me
Maybe if i cry everyday
You'll come back to stay
Ohhh maybe
Maybe if i hold your hand
You will understand
And maybe if i kissed your lips
You'd be at my command
Ohhh maybe
Ive prayed and prayed to The Lord
To send you back my love
But instead you came to me only in my dreams
Maybe if i pray every night
You'll come back to me
Maybe if i cry everyday
You'll come back to stay
Ohhhh maybe
Maybe maybe maybe...
Well I met him in the navy
He was the head of the class
She was a cute little thing
He liked the way she shook her glass
And they went off to Texas
And they bought some land yeah
And they settled in a hobo
Home by a taco stand
He was doin' things he didn't UNDERSTAND
There was no way to explain it
She was god's gift to man
Well he got a promotion
And he bought himself a color T.V
Had the cable put in
And they watched a round of jeopardy
And they sat out in the evening
And they watched the sun go down
And everything they did
They were livin' on the outside of town
Well the time went by
That he didn't UNDERSTAND
She was god's gift to man
Yeah baby tell me, tell me real good
Don't you know that we're livin' just like a young boy should?
Well she went off to Houston
Where she was livin' in sin
Well he built an office building
But nobody moved in
She wound up in El Paso
On the streets again
It was hard to take it
But sometimes you just can't win
It was after a little way
That he didn't UNDERSTAND
And couldn't UNDERSTAND that
She was god's gift to man
Well I seen her on T.V just a couple of nights ago
She was a doin' a commercial
Smilin' with some ivory soap
Well I knew inside her heart was black as coal
There ain't no way to replace the amount of lovin' that little girl stole
Yeah one day she got it comin'
And she won't UNDERSTAND her niche
She's god's gift to man
Yeah I've been doin' things that I don't UNDERSTAND
Yeah she's god's gift to man
Yeah, yeah ,yeah
Alright, alright, alright

Truth of the matter is I'm complicated
You're as straight as they come
You go 'bout your day baby
While I hide from the sun
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
'Cause you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other,
Waiting on the other side
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted
But baby what for
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
And you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other,
Waiting on the other side
If they say life's a dream
Call this insomnia
'Cause this ain't Wonderland
It damn sure ain't Narnia
And once you cross the line
You can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
But I'm no Frankenstein
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really can't explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you'd run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other,
Waiting on the other side
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
It's better if you don't UNDERSTAND
