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!

The kingdom is ransacked
The jewels all taken back
And the chopper descends
They're hidden in the back
With a message written on a half-baked potato
The spool goes 'round
Sayin' I'm back here in this place
And I could cry
And there's smoke you could click on
What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, "is this man a Jew?"
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying: "We earn more than you
We're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers"
The judge said, five to ten, but I say double that again
I'm not working for the clampdown
No man born with a living soul
Can be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
Do you know that you can use it?
The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, boy, get runnin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal
But you GROW up and you calm down
And working for the clampdown
You start wearing blue and brown
You're working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It make you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
Make your first kill now
In these days of evil Presidentes
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their due
For working for the clampdown
Ha! Get along! Get along! (working for the clampdown)
Ha! Get along! Get along! (working for the clampdown)
Yeah, I'm working hard in Harrisburg
Working hard in Petersburg
Working for the clampdown
Working for the clampdown
Ha! Get along! Get along!
Beggin' to be melted down
Work, work, work
And I'll give away no secrets
Work, work, more work, more work
Work, work, work, work, work
Who's barmy now?

Your losin' interest in me and it's showin'
It ain't no big thing but it's GROWING
The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowin'
Well, it ain't no big thing but it's growing
Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend, I don't know this
But If I can hold you, one day more
You've got the look of someone who's goin'
You're gonna leave me and it's showin'
A little tear I can feel start to flowin'
It ain't no big thing but it's growing
Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend, I don't know this
Well, if I can hold you, one day more
You've got the look of someone who's goin'
Well, you're gonna leave me and it's showin'
A little tear I can feel start to flowin'

All that i know
Is I’ve been sleeping for a thousand years
Held down by scruple, fear, reluctance
Eyes wide open now its crystal clear
That where we going, we dont need them
Waste of a brain unused
Blank in the eye dull and confused
Tangled pencils, donts and does
Who’d give a buck i don’t own these shoes
I hoped it'd fade find closure
Toughen up not GROW duller
I hoped i'd have the shoulders
But i just seemed to crawl in lower
Buttfinger dunce wanker knobhead
Gut binger, duck in the wig shed
Lost cause lose log, argh who said
Easy peasy instead
End is so dead, many ears bled
Little voices crouching in my head
What you want Ed, didn’t you get fed
If i could fly out my shoes
Wrap my mind around
Wrap my mind ‘round some truth
Wrap my mind around
CHORUS
Searching a dumb excuse
Justifiable storm to soothe
Generation ID issues
I fear i still dont fit these shoes
I hoped it'd fade find closure
Toughen up not GROW duller
I hoped i'd have the shoulders
But i just seem to crawl in lower
A flock of birds fly out my butt hole
It suddenly pierces my skull
I feel so special funny smart whole
It flies it flows
Its come, wont go
Right through my skull
I wouldn’t fly out my shoes
Wrap my mind around
Wrap my mind ‘round some truth
Wrap my mind around
(Summery toe tapper with this line: "Buttfinger dunce wanker knobhead")

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hell that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling
Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can GROW it
My hair
Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!
Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short
Down to here
Down to there
I want hair
Down to where
It stops by itself
They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair

I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Yeah! All around in my home town,
They're tryin' to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say
Oh, now, now. Oh!
(I shot the sheriff) the sheriff.
(But I swear it was in self defense)
Oh, no! (Oh, oh, oh) Yeah!
I say: I shot the sheriff oh, Lord!
(And they say it is a capital offense)
Yeah! (oh, oh, oh) Yeah!
Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
For what, I don't know,
Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow,
He said kill them before they grow.
And so
Read it in the news:
(I shot the sheriff.) Oh, Lord!
(But I swear it was in self-defense.)
Where was the deputy? (oh)
I say, I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self defense. (oh) Yeah!
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down and I say:
If I am guilty I will pay.
(I shot the sheriff,)
But I say (But I didn't shoot no deputy),
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(I shot the sheriff.) I did!
But I didn't shoot no deputy. Oh! (oh)
Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be,
Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
One day the bottom a-go drop out.
I say
I, I, I, I, shot the sheriff.
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy. No!
I, I (shot the sheriff)
But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! So, yeah!

GROW old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love
Some static started in the pool hall
Hit a motherfucker's face with the cue ball
And I met this girl, she tried to gank me
So I smacked her in the booty with a plank, B
'Cause me and my crew are out breaking windows
The bingo, the lotto, you know I'll never win those
Possession is half the law
I had my routines before all y'all
Your whole life is coming apart at the seams
You ain't nothing but a car thief biting routines
See, I'm a city slicker
I, I ain't no townie
Right now, I wish I had another hash brownie
And like Ricky always said, you've got to toke and pass
Or Mookie's gonna' kick your motherfucking ass
Try to take what isn't yours like a god damn rat
See I, personally, I wouldn't even wanna' go out like that
I'm a writer, a poet, a genius, I know it
I don't buy cheeba, I grow it
("I'm a farmer")
People always trying to get next to me
I had a beautiful experience on ecstasy
I smoked up a bag of elephant tranquilizer
Because I had to deal with a money-hungry miser
Had a 'caine-filled Kool with my man, Rush Rush
Saw my teeth fall in the sink when I started to brush
You be doing nose candy on the Bowie coke mirror
My girl asked for some, but I pretended not to hear her
You can't deny me, you always want to try me
Yo, you're just gonna get your ass kicked
Homeboy, throw in the towel
Your girl got dicked by Ricky Powell
The Godfather of Soul in the belly of the beast
Smoking that dust at St. Anthony's Feast
All the wife beaters and all the tax cheaters
Sitting in the White House pulling their peters
Buy my cheeba from the cop down the street
The only cop with a rope chain when he's walking the beat
So like a sneaky pouch time-bomb ticking
A-like the beat to my rhyme just kicking
Space cake cookies
I discover who I am
I'm a dusted old bummy Hurdy Gurdy Man
Five-oh caught me, now I'm going to the mountains
Said good-bye to my girl, my lawyer and accountants
My mind is kinda rhyming, and I think I oughta think
So I'm rockin' all the rhymes, and I'll have another drink
So the lights are flashing, my mind is spinning
I feel like it is always the beginning
Of another rhyme
I'm rapping, emceeing, I rock
You ain't nothing but a car thief who must be stopped...
She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but Love GROWS where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
She talks kinda lazy
And people say she she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but Love GROWS where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away
I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because Love GROWS where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away
I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because Love GROWS where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
Fadeout:
It keeps GROWING every place she's been
And nobody knows like me
If you've met her, you'll never forget her
And nobody knows like me
La la la- believe it when you've seen it
Nobody knows like me

This is a WONDERFUL day
It's as bright as a day's ever been
There is a big yellow sun looking down
On a wonderful scene
Up in the blue sky birds fly
And sing our cares away
And out of each throat each note
Greets a wonderful day
There is the sound of a symphony
Carried along on the breeze
Even the flowers are swaying in time
With the leaves on the trees
Heaven is found right here on the earth
It surrounds us in the wonderful things all around
In this wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful world
This is a wonderful day
It's as bright as a day's ever been
There is a big yellow sun looking down
On a wonderful scene
Heaven is found right here on the earth
It surrounds us in the wonderful things all around
In this wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful world

You and your girl, things could be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret
That nobody can reveal
Take a look at the world
And the state that it's in today

Everybody learn to love each other
Instead of fussing and fighting
Cheating but biting
Scandalizing and hating

You and your girl things could be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret

Everybody wants to live and be free

You and your girl things could be pretty

That nobody can reveal, mmh yeah, yeah

Wonderful world, talking about Nixon
Beautiful people, Harold Wilson
Wonderful world, power too
Beautiful people, and the Seagate

(This one for you B)
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, Do I look all right?
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me
And then she asks me, Do you feel all right?
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

I go out most nights
Attracted by the lights
Listen to the jazz in Harry's bar
And I know it won't be long
Before they play that song
Do you know how WONDERFUL you are?
It's a sentimental sound
Make me want to fool around
With somebody who is wishing on a star
I pull my hat down low
Go up and say hello
Do you know how wonderful you are?
Always struggled with the art of conversation
And they'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That It illustrates exactly how I feel
Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's bar
Though we've only just begun
This show will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are?
I've always struggled with the art of conversation
And they'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me

Sometimes we walk, hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me, with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine, it's WONDERFUL, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand, on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you, and you melt in my arms
There we are, Darling, only you and I
What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is full of wondrous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening, I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I hold
And I say to myself "It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"
And I say to myself "It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
In time you realize
It's all for you, I do
In time you realize
It's all for you, I do
In time you realize
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
And if I see her tonight
Will I leave her alone now?
And if you see her tonight
Will you tell her I love her?
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
She's so wonderful
In time you realize
It's all for you, I do
In time you realize
It's all for you, I do
In time you realize
It's all for you, I do
In time you realize
It's all for you, I do
In time you realize
She's so wonderful
She belongs there left with her liberty
Never known as a non-believer
She laughs and stays in the one-one-one-wonderful
She knew how to gather the forest when
God reached softly and moved her body
One golden locket
Quite young and loving her mother and father
Farther down the path was a mystery
Through the recess, the chalk and numbers
A boy bumped into her one-one-one-wonderful
All fall down and lost in the mystery
Lost it all to a non-believer
And all that's left is a girl
Who's loved by her mother and father
She'll return in love with her liberty
Chased away from the non believer
She'll sigh and thank God for one- one- one- wonderful

I'll send away all my FALSE pride
And I'll forsake all of my life
Yes I'll be as true as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me.
Lovers of the past I'll leave behind
There'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you come and stay with me
The promises I made most faithfully
I'll keep them still should you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me
We'll live a life no one has ever known
But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me.
But oh thank God at last and finally
I could see you're gonna stay with me
No, I would not give you FALSE hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh, little darling of mine
I can't for the life of me
Remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be
But it just don't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again
No, I would not give you FALSE hope (no)
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh, little darling of mine
I just can't believe it's so
Though it seems strange to say
I never been laid so low
In such a mysterious way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again
But I would not give you FALSE hope (no)
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh, oh, the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh, the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away (oh oh)
Oh, the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh (oh), the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away
Oh, oh, the mother and child reunion
Oh, is only a motion away
Oh, the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away (way, way, way)

Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
All day long, wearing a mask of FALSE bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Nothing left for me, ain't there nothing left for me
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, listen, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
I was wrong, and I just can't live

If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only FALSE emotion that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues oh they keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry
If your heartaches seem oh they seem to hang around bout too long
Yeah and your blues your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Oh baby just remember sunshine can be found
Yes it can be found behind each cloudy sky
So let your head down baby and go on and cry

What is wrong at the end of the day
What is really wrong no one dares to say
You know you're wrong when there's only one right
But what is wrong when right is out of sight
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feeble-minded, wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago, there's nothing more you need to know,
There's nothing more you need to show,
Let us disagree cause wrong was made, for you to be
What is FALSE when we can't hear no more
And there is nothing to cover for
What is wrong in this old wasted game
May right and wrong be one and the same
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feeble-minded, wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago
There's nothing more you need to know
There's nothing more you need to show
Let us disagree, cause wrong was made,
for you to be
Strong drinks are raging
Wine is a mocker
The teachers teach the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the people's mind
The teachers teach the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the people's mind
Jah Jah made the herb to soothe the people's mind
Babylon ban it, and call it a crime
They legalize the wrong and ban the true
The parson button his collar behind his back
Hiding his face from the fact
Confusion on the land, Judgement is at hand
The teachers teach the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the people's mind
It's true, yes
When you read the morning paper
Murder is the headline news
Confusion on the land, Judgement is at hand
Yes, it's true, everyone knows it's true
Yes, it's true
The teachers teach the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the people's mind
The teachers teach the lies
The priests establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the people's mind
Yes, it's true-true-true
Uh-huh, it's true-true-true
Yes, it's true..
Every tongue shall tell, on that day
When the Lord, comes again, to judge everyone
For the wrongs, they have done
And, all the lies, they have told
On that day, that dread day
All you back-sliders
And, all you false prophets
Where will you go
On that day, that dread day..
Oh, what a day!
Oh, what a day!
When every eye shall behold
The one and true one
All shall tremble
Like the leaves, on the trees
On that day, that dread day
And every tongue shall tell
Every tongue shall tell
On that day, that dread day
On that day, that dread day..

Sure I came out here to make my name
Wanted my pool my dose of fame
Wanted my parking space at Warners
But after a year
Of one room hell
A Murphy bell
A rancid smell
Wallpaper peeling at the corners
Sunset Boulevard
Twisting boulevard
Secret of the rich
A little scary
Sunset Boulevard
Tempting boulevard
Waiting there to swallow the unwary
Dreams are not enough to win a war
Out here they're always keeping score
Beneath the tan
The battle rages
Smile a rented smile
Fill someone's glass
Kiss someone's wife
Kiss someone's ass
We do whatever pays the wages
Sunset Boulevard
Headline boulevard
Getting here is only the beginning
Sunset Boulevard
Jackpot boulevard
Once you've won, you have to go on winning
You think I've sold out
Damn right I've sold out
I've just been waiting
For the right offer
Comfortable quarters
Regular rations
Twenty four hour
Five star room service
And if I'm honest
I like the lady
I can't help being
Touched by her folly
I'm treading water
Taking her money
Watching her sun set
Well I'm a writer
LA's changed a lot over the years
Since those brave goldrush pioneers
Came in their creaky covered wagons
Far as they could go
End of the line
Their dreams were yours
Their dreams were mine
But in those dreams
Were hidden dragons
Sunset Boulevard
Frenzied boulevard
Swamped with every kind of FALSE emotion
Sunset Boulevard
Brutal boulevard
Just like you we'll wind up in the ocean
She was sinking fast
I threw a rope
Now I have suits
And she is hope
It seemed an elegant solution
One day this must end
It isn't real
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal
Before tomorrow's execution
Sunset Boulevard
Ruthless boulevard
Destination for the stony hearted
Sunset Boulevard
Lethal boulevard
Everyone's forgotten how they started
Here on Sunset Boulevard

The magnificent seven
Ring, ring, it's 7:00 A.M.
Move yourself to go again
Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place
Knuckle merchants and you bankers too
Must get up and learn those rules
Weather man and the crazy chief
One says sun and one says sleet
A.M., the F.M. the P.M. too
Churnin' out that boogaloo
Gets you up and it gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?
Gimme Honda, gimme Sony
So cheap and real phony
Hong Kong dollar, Indian cents
English pounds and Eskimo pence
You lot, what?
Don't stop, give it all you got
You lot, what?
Don't stop, yeah
You lot, what?
Don't stop, give it all you got
You lot, what?
Don't stop, yeah
Working for a rise, better my station
Take my baby to sophistication
Seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
Better work hard, I seen the price
Never mind that it's time for the bus
We got to work and you're one of us
Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag and the hours jerk
Yeah, wave bye, bye
(When can I tell 'em what I do?)
(In a second, maan, alright Chuck)
Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
It's our profit, it's his loss
But anyway the lunch bells ring
Take one hour, do your thang
Cheeesboiger
What do we have for entertainment?
Cops kickin' gypsies on the pavement
Now the news has snapped to attention
Lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
A car in the fridge, a fridge in the car
Like cowboys do in TV land
You lot, what?
Don't stop, give it all you got
You lot, what?
Don't stop, huh
You lot, what?
Don't stop, give it all you got, yeah
You lot, what?
Don't stop
So get back to work and sweat some more
The sun will sink and we'll get out the door
It's no good for man to work in cages
Hit the town, he drinks his wages
You're frettin', you're sweatin'
But did you notice, you ain't gettin'
You're frettin', you're sweatin'
But did you notice, not gettin' anywhere
Don't you ever stop, a long enough to start
Take your car outta that gear
Don't you ever stop, long enough to start
Get your car outta that gear
Karlo Marx and Frederick Engels
Came to the checkout at the seven and eleven
Marx was skint but he had sense
Engels lent him the necessary pence
What have we got? Yeah, ooh
What have we got? Yeah, ooh
What have we got? Magnificence
What have we got?
Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi
Went to the park to check on the game
But they was murdered by the other team
Who went on to win fifty-nil
You can be true, you can be FALSE
You'll be given the same reward
Socrates and Milhous Nixon
Both went the same way through the kitchen
Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin
Who's more famous to the billion millions?
News flash, 'Vacuum cleaner sucks up budgie'
Ooh, bye-bye, bub-bye

I am sailing
I am sailing
Home again
'Cross the SEA
I am sailing
Stormy waters
To be near you
To be free
I am flying
I am flying
Like a bird
'Cross the sky
I am flying
Passing high clouds
To be near you
To be free
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say?
We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again
'Cross the sea
We are sailing
Stormy waters
To be near you
To be free
Oh, Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh, my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh, my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh, Lord
Look here, girls
Take this advice, and remember always in life:
Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love and lose, you must stand tall
'Cause we all got to cry sometimes
I said, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together
No use crying forever
Because there's too many fish in the SEA
Too many fish in the SEA
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the SEA
My mother once told me something
And every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella
Who doesn't love you
He'll only mislead you
Only grieve you
Don't worry about him
Do without him
Because there's too many fish in the SEA
Too many fish in the SEA
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the SEA
Well, if the fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook and keep on trying
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around
Because there's too many fish in the SEA
Too many fish in the SEA
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the SEA
I don't want nobody that don't want me
'Cause there's too many fish in the SEA
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me, now
'Cause there's too many fish in the SEA
I don't need nobody that don't need me
'Cause there's too many fish in the SEA
I don't want nobody that don't want me now
'Cause there's too many fish in the SEA
I don't want nobody that don't love me
'Cause there's too many fish in the SEA

Beyond the reef
Where the SEA is dark and cold,
My love has gone,
And our dreams grow old.
There'll be no tears,
There'll be no regretting.
Will she remember me,
Will she forget?
I'll send a thousand flow'rs
When the trade winds blow.
I'll send my lonely heart,
For i love her so.
Someday i know
She'll come back again to me.
Till then my heart will be
Beyond the reef
Some day i know
She'll come back again to me
Till then my heart will be
Beyond the reef
Of course there is a version by Elvis -

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Won't ya let me take you on a SEA cruise?

Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the SEA
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Darkest of mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts the sun sets on fire
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
Still take me back where my memories remain
Flickering embers go higher and higher
As they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Drive with me
Do the things you won't believe
Drive with me
Past the city and down to sea
Crushing dreams
Leave me be, I cannot sleep
Drown with me
Past the city, down to sea
Rush of dream
Leave in peace, let me be
Oh, it's the pain
It's ingrained in me
Oh, soothe my pain
It's ingrained in me
Drive with me
Drive with me

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows
Surely to the SEA
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Under the SEA
Under the SEA
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate?
Under the SEA
Under the SEA
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the SEA we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the SEA (Under the SEA)
Under the SEA (Under the SEA)
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally (Naturally)
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the SEA
The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow
Yeah, under the SEA (Under the SEA)
Under the SEA (Under the SEA)
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me (It's music to me)
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
Know how to jam here
Under the SEA
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the SEA
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the SEA

One day while bathing in the sea
My talking dolphin spoke to me
He spoke to me in symphony
From freedom's peace beneath the sea
He looked to me eyes full of love
Said yes we live behind the sun
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
The sun goes up
And the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun
Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
An island flying through the sky
One day your son might ask you why
And if your son should be a girl
She too might ask you of this world
The sun shines sweet upon your beach
And yes my dolphin loves to teach
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
The sun goes up
And the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above thy fruited plain
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
For beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crowned thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crowned thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining SEA!
America!
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep for their beliefs
"Do you kill on God's command?"
A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homeland
Holy wars...
Upon my podium as the know-it-all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement, gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier-than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, rappel down the rocks, behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die... they die!
They killed my wife and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake... last mistake!
Paid by the alliance
To slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!
Fill the cracks in with judicial granite
Because I don't say it don't mean I ain't thinking it
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings
Mercy killings
Mercy killings, killings, killings, killings
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
Come with me, my love
To the SEA, the SEA of love
I want to tell you how much I love you
Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you
Come with me, to the SEA
Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you
Come with me, to the SEA of love
