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!

For those who fancy colouring BOOKS
And lots of people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual colouring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready
Very well
Begin to colour me
These are the eyes
That watched him
As he walked away
Colour them grey
This is the heart
That thought
He would always be true
Colour it blue
These are the arms that held him
And loved him
Then lost him somehow
Oh...
Colour them empty now
These are the beads
I wore until she came between
Colour them green
This is the room that I sleep in
And walk in, and weep in, and hide in
That nobody sees
Oh...
Colour it lonely please
This is the man
Whose love I depended upon
Colour him gone

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

Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the station
Y'know they just don't care
I can't take the smell
I can't take the noise
I got no money to move out
I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room
Roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
I tries to get away but I couldn't get far
Cos a man with a truncheon re-possessed my car
Don't push me cos I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
My son said: "Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
Cos the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer I think it'd be cheaper
If I just got a job learned to be a street sweeper
I'll dance to the beat, shuffle my feet wear a shirt and tie
And run with the creeps"
Cos it's all about money ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a car in this land of milk and honey
A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he's frowning too
Because only God knows what you'll go through
You'll grow in the ghetto living second rate
And your eyes will see a song of deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alleyway
You'll admire all the number BOOK takers
The pimps the pushers and the big money makers
Driving great big cars spending twenties and tens
And you want to grow up to be just like them
Smugglers scramblers burglars gamblers
Pickpocket pedlars even panhandlers
You say I'm cool I'm no fool
But then you end up dropping right outa school
Now you're unemployed null and void
Walking round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Turn stick up kid look what you done did
Got sent up for an eight year bid
Being used and abused to serve like hell
Till one day you was found hung dead in the cell

Baby, I don't understand
Why we can't just hold on
To each other's hands
This time will be the last
I fear unless I make it all too clear
I need you so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The BOOK of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
And make it right
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
I need you so
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The BOOK of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
You've got to learn to fly, learn to live, love so free
When we hear the voices sing
The BOOK of love will open up and let us in yeah, yeah
Let us in
Let us in
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The BOOK of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly, learn to live and love so free
When we hear the voices sing
The BOOK of love will open up for us and let us in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions.
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday I write the BOOK.
Chapter One: We didn't really get along.
Chapter Two: I think I fell in love with you.
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four
Five and Six.
And I'm giving you a longing look...
The way you walk
The way you talk and try to kiss me
And laugh in four or five paragraphs.
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks.
And I'm giving you a longing look...
Everyday I write the book.
Don't tell me you don't know the difference
Between a lover and a fighter.
With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.
And I'm giving you a longing look...
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday I write the book.
Isn't it strange how princesses and kings
In clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Each must make his life as flowing in
Tumbling block on a stepping stone
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Look when the rain has fallen from the sky
You know the sun will be only with us for a while
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rule
I don't get blind, I don't drink wine
I took A sledge hammer and I broke my nine
Because my life is mine, word is bond I rhyme
And every day I write the book down line by line
I'm feeling good when I do it like this
So come on and turn it up because you can't resist
Because I'm back with another track in which you lack
Cause things is wack and that's a fact
Because I'm on time, you're shouting rewind
You know it's Adrock that's blowing your mind
My shit is rough and you know it is so damn tough
I'm getting intense, not talking nonsense
I made up my mind, not sitting on the fence
I don't always know the right from the wrong
Do my best to figure it out and work it out in the long
I try to do a lot, more than I can chew
I balance out my ambitions what I got to do
Check it, better believe it y'all
Check it, better believe it y'all
This is rough and tough
Cause you hide in broad day light, a parasite
A hypocrite, you take a peek quick
You turn your nose up (what), you think you're high up (uh)
You play it real safe and now your shit's fake
I seen you hawking and then you clock my style
And then you try to play it off like you think you're wild
D.I.Y., that means do it yourself
I don't sit around waitin' for someone's help
I don't sit back and say "Good enough"
I keep on striving, reinventing, keepin' it off the cuff
So I kick the level up cuhootnified
Mackadocius vibes, positively fortified
I'm throwing rhymes down, kickin' them downtown
Traveling high speed through the underground
I kick it freestyle, make it worth your while
I've got shelves of rhymes that I keep on file
I'm feeling good now, back home again
Well, New York City is the city that I feel at home in (woo)
A blast from the Grasshoff, awhile it's been
Stepping into the future again (yeah)
Uh, and now I'm straight from 88
To 93 to 94, I'm out the door
Step into the party with the Fila fresh gear
People looking at me like I was David Koresh here
Kicking rhymes from the heart cause that's where I'm at
Fuck the bullshit, be it far from me to pop that
In the search for truth, I go a lot of ways
There's not a lot of peace that I find these days
I try to stay cool, I try to stay calm
But my life is getting hectic like a smoke bomb
So I'll say it like the group Huggy Bear
There's a boy-girl revolution of which you should be aware
You can't dis me, it ain't worth it, B
You put yourself down and you don't even see
Cause I don't play that, I know who I am
For a minute I did but now I'm back again
I'm feeling strong, see, trust myself, G
Well, I stopped smoking cheeba and that was part of the key
We, we, we've got fire, we need water
There ain't no water, so I guess I ought to
Leave you broke in a comatose state of mind
And I'm blind and I'm working overtime, so check it
I keep my rhymes in my little black book
And I know you wanna take another look
*This is rough and tough*

I just got out my little red BOOK
The minute that you said good-bye
I thumbed right through my little red book
I wasn't gonna sit and cry
And I went from A to Z
I took out every pretty girl in town
They danced with me
And while I held them
All I did was to talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There is just no getting over you
No girl who's in my little red book
Just ever could replace your love
And each girl in my little red book
Knows you're the one I'm thinking of
Won't you please come back to me?
Without your precious love I can't go on
Where can you be?
I need you so much
All I do is to talk about you
Hear your name and I start to cry
There is just no getting over you, no, no, no
Won't you please come back to me?
Without your precious love I can't go on
Where can you be?
I need you so much
All I do is to talk about you
Hear your name and I start to cry
There is just no getting over you, no, no, no
All I do is to talk, talk about you
Hear your name and I start to cry
There is just no getting over you, no, no, no
All I do is to talk, talk, talk
Hear your name and I start to cry
There is just no getting over you
I once had a life, or rather, life had me
I was one among many or at least I seemed to be
Well, I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
Said "Gonna reap just what you sow
The debts you make you have to pay."
Can you get to that?
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey! get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that? I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
I recollect with a-mixed emotions
All the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations
For the coming separation
And you blew everything we had
When you base your love on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Yeah, get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey! get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that? I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey! get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that? I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
Can you get
I want to know if you can get to that
When you base your life on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Can y'all get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey! get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that? I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey! get to that!)
Can you get (can you get to that? I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
One two, one two three four
You could be my best friend
Sitting on the book ends
Look guy, you're just a king
You know you're missing something
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've read about you in books
Your kingdom's always full
And if you did know the truth
You wouldn't promise to tell
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
And I'm pulling out all of your mind
I waited for you to say
All the things that you think
And now that we're here alone
You can remember to blink
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
And I'm pulling out all of your mind
You could be my best friend
Sitting on the book ends
Look guy, you're just a king
You know you're missing something
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
I've got my hand in your head
And I'm pulling out all of your mind
And I'm pulling out all of your mind
And I'm pulling out all of your mind
And I'm pulling out all of your mind
And I'm pulling out all of your mind
How about this, I pass the baton to you. You decide if the day will have two words, what two words we will use and decide if you want to be fiendish weekly, every other week, once per month, or not at all.
Coming up with new words that are not too difficult is becoming far harder despite the zillions of words. Many of those zillions of words just are too difficult.
OK, here is what I am going to do. I have a pair of words that I don't think will be too fiendish at all and I will post those on Friday. Then I will post 2 words every other Friday after that.
If we get confused or mixed up it is not the end of the world is it. This is just fun after all.

I couldn't figure why
You couldn't give me what everybody needs
I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down
My baby
Find out everybody knows
That you've been using me
I'm surprised you let me stay around you
One day I'm gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta LEVEL before we go
And tear this love apart
There's no fight you can't fight
This battle of love WITH me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be (I'll be), I'll be (I'll be)
Following you
Oh girl, oh girl
Oh baby, I shake you from now on
I'm gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from taking you
You better beware, I swear
I'm gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all
There's no fight you can't fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be (I'll be), I'll be (I'll be)
Following you
Oh girl
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again

I don't care if it rains or freezes
Long as I've got my plastic Jesus
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nation
WITH my plastic Jesus I'll go far
Ridin' down the thoroughfare
With a nose up in the air
A wreck may be ahead
But he don't mind
Trouble comin', he don't see
He just keeps his eye on me
And any other thing that lies behind
WITH my plastic Jesus
Goodbye and I'll go far
I said with my plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car
When I'm in a traffic jam
He don't care if I say "damn"
I can let all my curses roll
'Cause Jesus Plastico doesn't hear
'Cause he has a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic Saved my soul
WITH my plastic Jesus
I said, goodbye and I'll go far
I said with my plastic Jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car, oh yeah
An if I weave around at night
Policemen think I'm very tight
They never find my bottle
Though they ask
'Cause plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head comes off, you see
He's hollow and I use him like a flask
Whoa oh oh
Save me
I don't care if it's dark or scary
Long as I got magnetic Mary
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
I feel that I'm protected amply
I've got the love of the whole damn family
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
WITH my plastic Jesus
I said goodbye and I'll go far
And I said WITH my plastic Jesus
I said sittin' on the dashboard of my car, whoa oh
I said, with my plastic Jesus (when I'm goin' fornicatin')
(I've got my ceramic Satan)
Help me, Jesus (sittin' on the dashboard of my car)
WITH my plastic Jesus (women know I'm on the LEVEL)
(Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil)
Sneerin' from the dashboard of my car
As you see, andrew999999999 and I didn't have anything to offer due to your "fiendish" suggestion.

Velvet skies, emerald eyes
That linger in the light and fill me with delight
Oh your lies emphasise
The way we never fight in the day, only at night
Oh your lips, they're fragments
Of the feeble conversation, capricious adoration
Your voice, the noise
Of a thousand of champagne stars all glistening in the dark
I HOPE they guide you home
I found your trace on my pillow case
Yet I can’t feel your touch
The sky illuminates, you evaporate
And all I see is dust
Elude me, guarantee
That as the pale night gets darker your dreams will not grow farther
From me, undersea
It's only hard to breathe when you're looking at me
Your allure, I can’t remember
Every day that you explore I seem to lose you more
Candlelight, how it shines
Against delicate skin when you tremble above it
I HOPE it guides you home
Helplessly HOPING
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs
Wishing he could fly
Only to trip
At the sound of goodbye
Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping
Himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a goodbye?
Or even hello?
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway
You'll see something certain
To tell you
Confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady
Who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you
You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm HOPELESSLY devoted to you
But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head HOPELESSLY devoted to you
HOPELESSLY devoted to you
HOPELESSLY devoted to you
My head is saying fool forget him
My heart is saying don't let go
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm HOPELESSLY devoted to you
But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head HOPELESSLY devoted to you
HOPELESSLY devoted to you
HOPELESSLY devoted to you

I HOPE you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'
Don't let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance (Where those years have gone?)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder?)

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With HOPE in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
There are many other versions but in the UK this has a very special place in our memories.

In 1977 I HOPE I go to heaven
'Cause I been too long on the dole
And I can't work at all
Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones
In 1977
Knives in West 11
Ain't so lucky to be rich
Sten guns in Knightsbridge

Is that you
Your eyes slowly fading?
Is that you
Your mind full of tears?
Is that you
Searching for a good time?
Is that you
Waitin' for all these years?
And I hope you're feelin' better
Yes I hope you're feelin' good
Yes I hope you're feelin' better
Is that you?
Look across the ocean
Is that you
Thinkin nothin' is really there?
Is that you
Waiting for the sunshine?
Is that you
When all you see is glare?
And I hope you're feelin' better
Yes I hope you're feelin' good
Yes I hope you're feelin' better
Is that you
Who never saw your baby?
Is that you
Who never had a friend?
Is that you
Movin' to a new town?
Is that you
Will di'monds replace your friends?
And I hope you're feelin' better
Yes I hope you're feelin' good
Yes I hope you're feelin' better
Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go?
Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired
There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night?
How will I rest my head?
Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there
There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head?
So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed
Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go?
Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When HOPE was high and life worth living
I dreamed, that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed
It didn't need a punch to knock me out
You could of broke it gentle but you hit him with a bombshell
You made a fool of me without a doubt
You think you're very clever but in fact you are a dumbell
Whoops you really gone and done it now
A beautiful relationship has ended are you sorry
I think it's time for you to take a bow
You've found yourself somebody else so you don't have to worry!
Whoa I think that I am falling out of love
Still easy come and easy go, it really is a bitter blow
When give and take has turned to punch and shove
I wish that I could have a pound for every broken heart around
It's sad but it's true I hope somebody cheats on you
The only thing that's damaged is my pride
I bet you haven't even thought of taking legal action
I won't be contemplating suicide
I'd have to think that you'd be giving her the satisfaction
Whoa I think that I am falling out of love
Still easy come and easy go, it really is a bitter blow
When give and take has turned to punch and shove
I wish that I could have a pound for every broken heart around
It's sad but it's true I hope somebody cheats on you
Yeah it's sad but it's true I hope somebody cheats on you

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I HOPE some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I HOPE some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Seven Year Ache
Trisha Yearwood, Rosanne Cash
You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So who does your past belong to today?
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
The girls in the bars thinking, "who is this guy?"
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
Splitting your dice to be someone you're not
You say you're looking for something you might've forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"

Not GUILTY
For getting in your way
While you're trying to steal the day.
Not guilty
And I'm not here for the rest, I'm not trying to steal your vest.
I am not trying to be smart, I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry for your ageing head.
But like you heard me said: Not guilty.
No use handing me a writ
While I'm trying to do my bit.
I don't expect to take your heart.
I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry that you're underfed.
But like you heard me said: Not guilty.
Not guilty
For looking like a freak, Making friends with every sikh.
Not guilty
For leading you astray
On the road to mandalay.
I won't upset the apple cart.
I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry that you've been misled.
But like you heard me said: Not guilty.

Shadows falling baby, we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're livin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be GUILTY of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
[Barry:]
Aaah!
Pulse's racing, darling
How grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're buildin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be GUILTY of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
[Barbra:]
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
[Barry:]
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
[Both:]
I don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing, and we got nothing to be GUILTY of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
Don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing, and we got nothing to be GUILTY of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are

The towers of London, these crumbling rocks
Reality estates that the hero's got
And every hour's marked by the chime of a clock
And whatcha gonna do when the darkness surrounds?
You can piss in the lifts which have broken down
You can watch from the debris the last bedroom light
We're invisible here just past midnight
The wives hate their husbands and their husbands don't care
Their children daub slogans to prove they lived there
A giant pipe organ up in the air
You can't live in a home which should not have been built
By the bourgeois clerks who bear no GUILT
When the wind hits this building this building it tilts
One day it will surely fall to the ground...
Fear is just another commodity here
They sell us peeping holes to peek when we hear
A bang on the door resoundingly clear
Who would really want to move in here?
The children play faraway, the corridors are bare
This room is a cage its like captivity
How can anyone exist in such misery?
It has been said not only here
"Allianza dollars are spent
To raise the towering buildings
For the weary bones of the workers
To go back in the morning
To be strong in the morning"

The GUILTY undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn, but it's
Not that way, I wasn't born to lose you
I want you
I want you
I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep, they wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to open up the gate for you
I want you
I want you
Yes I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you
How all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her
She is good to me and there's
Nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be but it doesn't
Matter
I want you
I want you
Yes I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit he
Spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I?
But I did it, because he lied and
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side and
Because I
Want you
I want you
Yes I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you
