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!
Don't leave me all alone
Picking up the pieces (picking up the pieces)
Don't leave me all alone
Picking up the pieces (picking up the pieces)
Don't leave me all alone
Picking up the pieces (picking up the pieces)
Don't leave me all alone...
Hey
If we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing

Going on and on and on
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you, ooh

I can feel your body move
Doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on
Saying the same thing
Cause can't you see?

Baby, even though you know

EVERY move you make
And EVERY vow you break
EVERY smile you fake
EVERY claim you stake

Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm

When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now
EVERY little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
When I'm with her, I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes, I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
I will love her forever
For I know love will never die
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
EVERY time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve, as I've done from the start
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolved to call her up
A thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me
In some old-fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
EVERY little thing, EVERY little thing
EVERY, EVERY little thing
EVERY little, EVERY little, EVERY little
EVERY little thing she does
EVERY little thing she does
EVERY little thing she does
EVERY little thing she does
That she does is magic
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
EVERY little thing
EVERY little thing
EVERY little thing
She does is magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Ey oh, yo oh
Eee oh oh oh oh oh
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me
That ends up getting wet

I hear songs on the radio
They might be fast or they might be slow
But every song they play's
Got me thinkin' 'bout you
I see a fella walkin' down the street
He looks at me and he smiles real sweet
But he don't matter to me
'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you
EVERY little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
My tongue gets tied when I try to talk
My knees get weak when I start to walk
So, I might as well stay home
And keep thinkin' 'bout you
'The Young And The Restless' on my TV set
That's just like us when we first met
And when they start to kissin'
Got me thinkin' 'bout you
Every little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
Come on
Every little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
All alone!

Through these misty eyes
I see lonely skies
Lonely roads to Babylon
There's my family and my country
Heaven knows where I belong
Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell, don't say goodbye
Seagull carry me
Over land and sea
To my old folk
Thats where I wanna be
EVERY beat of my heart
Tears me furthur apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
One more glass of wine
Just for Auld Lang Syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss you now, in my darkest hour
And the way, our arms entwined
Seagull carry me
Over land and sea
To my old folk
That's where I wanna be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and I'm alone in the dark
I'm going home
And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Tear awhile the Emerald Isle
Until the northern lights
And the swollen pipes
How they make a grown man cry
Seagull carry me
Over land and sea
To my old folk
That's where I wanna be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
I'm going home
John Denver
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

My friend's got a girlfriend, man, he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says, "Man, I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"
She sits on her ass, he works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend, you gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
To keep the bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
'Cause that girl's got expensive taste
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Well, I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all, oh yeah
But, hey man, free rides just don't come along every day
(Let me tell you about my other friend now)
My friend's got a boyfriend, man, she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend, you gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
I won't give you no money, I always pay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Hey, that's something everyone can enjoy

Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture
Back to back
Sacroiliac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack
Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ's spinning I said my, my
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sais pas, Flashe no deux
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the GROUND
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercuries and Subaru
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!

We go around and lie to one another
Without a second thought
Don't you think we're fooling each other
Like this we can't go on.
No respect or consideration, where has your conscience gone
Take a step in the right direction or this won't last too long
What goes aroung comes around
You got to stand your GROUND
Be careful what you do or say
Whatever goes around comes around
Once again you got away with it
Are you happy now
Watch your mouth, don't put your foot back in it
Gets back to you somehow
I must say you tell a good story
Of things I know ain't true
You turn around and say you're sorry
With a straight face attitude
What goes around comes around
You got to stand your ground
Be careful what you say or do
Whatever goes around come around
You got to stand your ground
No matter what road you take
Whatever goes around comes around
Don't underestimate this girl
You will only fool yourself
Are we gonna live with this when there's so much at stake
There's no way we're gonna make it
A change is overdue
Live and learn to loveone another
It's all up to you
What goes aroung comes around
You got to stand your ground
Be careful what you do or say
Whatever goes around comes around

I need somebody
(Help) not just anybody
(Help) you know I need someone
(Help)
When I was younger (when I was younger), so much younger than today (I never need)
I never needed anybody's help in any way (now these days are gone)
But now these days are gone (these days are gone), I'm not so self-assured (and now I find)
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the GROUND
Won't you please, please, help me?
and now my life has changed in oh so many ways
(My independ-) my independence seems to vanish in the haze
(But every now and then) but every now and then I feel so insecure
(I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way

I have a very good friend
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people like it, others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing GROUND where she goes rushing)
Head over heels
Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
Her man is one I admire
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time when he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says, "That's all very fine"
"Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we'd better hurry"
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels
Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels
Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
And she goes
Head over heels

I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much "she knows"

Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my GROUND
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my GROUND

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my GROUND

Sleep, where have you gone?
It's been months now
And I'm coming undone
I keep being woken
By screams and tears
Sheer fucking terror
Ringing out in my ears
Sing you a lullaby
Every night
Just shut your eyes
We will be alright
Where have you gone?
We count the hours
While we wait for the sun
And I don't sleep
In the night-time now
And all my dreams have all gone to ground
Where have you gone?
Sing you a lullaby
Every night
Just shut your eyes
We will be alright
The stars in the sky
The moon and the tide
Your smile in the night
When I sing you a lullaby
Sleep, where have you gone?
We count the hours while we wait for the sun
And I don't sleep in the night-time now
And all my dreams have all gone to ground
Like the stars in the sky
Like the moon and the tide
Like your smile in the night
When I sing you a lullaby
Every night
Just shut your eyes
We will be alright
The stars in the sky
The moon and the tide
Your smile in the night
When I sing you a lullaby
Patsy Cline
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget (to forget)
Pretend we never met (never met)
And I've tried and I've tried
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too (love me too)
The way you used to do (used to do)
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces.
You walk by and I fall to pieces...

Well, I hope that I don't FALL in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue
Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well, if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Well, the night does funny things inside a man
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
Well, I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
I can see that you are lonesome just like me
And it being late, you'd like some company
Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me
The guy you're with, he's up and split, the chair next to you's free
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
Well, I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you
She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, who's crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
And it's a long day, livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway, runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
And I'm free, free FALLIN'
Yeah I'm free, free FALLIN'
All the vampires, walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts
And I'm free, I'm free FALLIN'
Yeah I'm free, free FALLIN'
Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a
Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I'm gonna free FALL out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while
Now I'm free, free fallin'
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a
Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a
Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
Oh!

The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feelin' sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day
It wasn't me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And i won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a FALL
(Hero takes a fall) oh no
Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly you sight a fancy chance
Since love is at your door
We're seeing through you now
I saw it all before
And i won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Emotion is a virtue
For you, it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking,
Thinking she'll return your call
Every story's got an ending
Look out! here it comes, here it comes
And i won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall

I’m afraid to fly
And I don’t know why
I’m jealous of the people who
are not afraid to die
It’s just that I recall
Back when I was small
Someone promised that they’d catch me
And then they let me fall
And now I’m FALLIN’
Fallin’ fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in Love’
You think by now I’d learn
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be oh so warm
And that’s why I returned
Turn and walk away
That’s what I should do
My head says turn and walk away
My heart says I love you.
And now I’m fallin’
Fallin’ fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in Love’
Always turns out the same
Lovin’ someone
Confusin’ myself
Only got me to nlame
Helkp me I’m fallin Fallin
Catch me if you can
Maybe this time I’ll have it all
Maybe I’ll make it after all
Maybe this time I won’t fall
When I fall in love.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to FALL asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to FALL asleep

And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I want no part of this despair
I want no ugly mornings
I want no opiated fear
I want no clouded callings
All alone
Alone
Every morning when I wake from my bed
I find I'm yawnin' and just scratchin' my head
I face the dawnin', I feel like I'm dead
Baby, I've been sleeping all alone
Well, every daybreak as I wake from my sleep
I find I'm achin' as I drag from the deep
If I were a Mustang, I'd be a junk-yard heap
Mirror don't lie, mirror don't lie, talk about a rollin' stone
And everybody said, "What's that sound?"
Put it in a skillet and slap it all around
And everybody said, "I can't stay home"
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Well, all these dragons are just draggin' me down
I've been pickin' things up from the underground
Like a trackless tram, I'm Bondi bound
Sittin' in the depot all alone
No purity, no clear white walls
A big stampede when the Warragul calls
Times a-menacing just gnashes and mauls
Where'm I gonna buy it, where'm I gonna buy it
Gotta give a dog a bone
And everybody said, "What's that sound?"
Put it in a skillet and slap it all around
And everybody said, "I can't stay home"
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
I've been thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Well, I've been livin' a categorical lie
Each last thrill the penultimate high
Just one more hit before I can die
Yellow teeth are snappin' all around
Well, every day of the week as I wake from my bed
I find I'm yawning just a scratchin' my head
If I were a Mustang, I think it's gone to my head
Mirror don't lie, mirror don't lie, talk about a rolling stone
And everybody said, "What's that sound?"
Put it in a skillet and slap it all around
And everybody said, "I can't stay home"
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
And everybody said, "What's that sound?"
Put it in a skillet and slap it all around
And everybody said, "I can't stay home"
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
I've been thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
Fall of Rome, yeah, oh, oh

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me

Tearing me apart like a new emotion

… Before you go walk out on me
Take a look around tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here you might have overlooked
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be
… The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself a while
It would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago
… I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
You could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart
… So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your HEAD upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
… If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

You look good in blue
It matches your skin your eyes dripping with pain
Someone like you, getting off on the lies
'Cause it dulls your surprise again
If it's alright with you, I could give some head
And shoulders to lie on
You look good in blue
I know what you mean when, you say you've seen the end
Someone like you been at it again
You knew what was up in the end
If it's alright with you
I could give some head and shoulders to lie on
Throw your weight on me baby
Don't complain on me baby
Escape in me next to me
I'm tired always tired and I got not place to sleep
Don't mind dividing down the line
Can't say that I'm complaining
'Cause I got no place to play yeah
Don't mind dividing down the line
You look good in blue
It matches your skin your eyes dripping with pain
If it's alright with you
I could give some head and shoulders to lie on
Yes I could give some head

Raindrops are falling on my HEAD
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

You make me feel like I've never been kissed before
Only you can do it
You make me feel like I wanna be kissed for ever more
Only you can do it
I don't know why I feel this way
I only know I like the way you hold me in your arms, only you can do it
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do what you're doing to me
I walk around town with my HEAD held up so high, only you can do it
My feet are on the ground but I feel like I'm touching the sky
Only you can do it
I don't know why I feel this way
I only know I like the way you hold me in your arms, only you can do it
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do what you're doing to me
I don't know why I feel this way
I only know I like the way you hold me in your arms, only you can do it
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do what you're doing to me
Only you can do it, only you can do it
Only you can do what you're doing to me.
Well, I think I'm going out of my HEAD
Yes, I think I'm going out of my HEAD
Over you
Over you
I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you
And I think I'm going out of my HEAD
'Cause I can't explain the tears that I shed
Over you
Over you
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even know that I exist
Goin' out of my HEAD over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
I must think of a way
Into your heart
Oh, there's no reason why
My being shy should keep us apart
And I think I'm going out of my HEAD
Yes, I think I'm going out of my HEAD
Goin' out of my HEAD over you
Out of my HEAD over you
Out of my HEAD day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
Lou Reed
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving HEAD
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, Joe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
All right, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

Daylight, all right, I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Been a long night, and something ain't right
You won't show, you won't show how you feel
No time ever seems right, to talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game, before it's too late
HEAD games, it's you and me, baby
HEAD games, and I can't take it anymore
HEAD games
I don't want to play the HEAD games
A daydream, for hours it seems
I keep thinking of you, yeah thinking of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me
Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer, but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same, and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm saying, still we keep on playing
HEAD games, that's all I get from you
HEAD games, and I can't take it anymore
HEAD games
Don't wanna play the HEAD games
So near, so far away
We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
But if you want to win, you gotta learn how to play
HEAD games, always you and me, baby
HEAD games, till I can't take it anymore
HEAD games, instead of making love
HEAD games, oh
HEAD games, always you and me, baby
HEAD games, till I can't take it anymore, no more
HEAD games
Instead of making love, we play HEAD games
HEAD games, in the first degree
HEAD games, yeah, always you and me
HEAD games, why do you do it, baby?
HEAD games, you put me through it baby
The Cranberries
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head? In your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie, oh
Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head? In your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, eh-ah, ya-ya-ow

Oh you're a HOLIDAY, such a holiday
Oh you're a holiday, such a holiday
It's something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones
Ooh it's a funny game
Don't believe that it's all the same
Can't think what I've just said
Put the soft pillow on my head
Millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind
Yet millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind
Ooh you're a holiday, every day , such a holiday
Now it's my turn to say, and I say you're a holiday
It's something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones

What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret
Put down the knitting, the book and the broom
It's time for a HOLIDAY
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret
Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow a horn, start celebrating
Right this way, your table's waiting
What good's permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the Cabaret!
I used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower...
As a matter of fact, she rented by the hour
The day she died the neighbors came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor!"
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen
She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen
I think of Elsie to this very day
I remember how she'd turn to me and say
"What good is sitting all alone in you room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret!"
And as for me, and as for me
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
When I go
I'm going like Elsie
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
It isn't that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a cabaret!
"Everybody needs a little time away"
I heard her say, from each other
Even lovers need a HOLIDAY
Far away, from each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go
Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day, from your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away, from the one that I love
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
You're going to be the lucky one

I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
Don't you walk thru my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet
Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said I'll give you one dollar
I said you've got to be jokin' man
It was a present from me Mother
He said I like it I want it
I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You'd better understand that you're alone
A long way from home
And I say
I don't like reggae no no
I love it
I don't like reggae oh no
I love it
Don't you cramp me style
Don't you queer on me pitch
Don't you walk thru my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet
I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a Dreadlock HOLIDAY
And I say
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
'Cause you ain't heard her out yet
I don't like cricket
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
I don't like reggae
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
Don't like Jamaica
I love her (Dreadlock Holiday)
I hurried back to the swimming pool
Elton John
Boston at last and the plane's touching down
Our hostess is handing the hot towels around
From a terminal gate to a black limousine
It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn
Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired
Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired
Kicking your heels till the time comes around
To pick up your bags and head out of town
Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man
I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands
And you ain't seen nothing till you've been
In a motel baby like the HOLIDAY Inn
Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man
I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands
And you ain't seen nothing till you've been

So, you've been to school
For a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car
Thinking you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Playing ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five-grand stereo
Braggin' that you know
How the niggers feel cold
And the slum's got so much soul
It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
Brace yourself, my dear
It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough, kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife
You're a star-belly snitch
You suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
While your boss gets richer off you
Well, you'll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake
Now you can go where the people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son...
What you need, my son...
Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people are dressed in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul
Pol Pot
