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!

A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell
I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest
I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad PARTS
Found all the sad PARTS
But I guess I threw the best PART away
Lord, the pieces of my life,
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I think I miss most of all
Is you and you know who
Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong with PART-time lover
If she's with me I'll blink the lights
To let you know tonight's the night
For me and you, my PART-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
If I'm with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don't even speak
Know the word's "discreet" when PART-time lovers
But if there's some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
So then she won't peek, its really you my PART-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
I've got something that I must tell
Last night someone rang our doorbell
And it was not you, my PART-time lover
And then a man called our exchange
But didn't want to leave his name
I guess that two can play the game
Of PART-time lovers
You and me, PART-time lovers

I memorized the note you sent
Go to all the places that we went
I seem to search the whole day through
For anything that's PART of you
I kept a ribbon from your hair
A breath of perfume lingers there
It helps to cheer me when I'm blue
Anything that's PART of you
Oh, how it hurts to miss you so
When I know you don't love me anymore
To go on needing you
Knowing you don't need me
No reason left for me to live
What can I take, what can I give
When I'd give all of someone new
For anything that's PART of you?
Here comes the jesters, one, two three
It's all PART of my fantasy
I love the music and I love to see the crowd
Dancin' In the aisles and singin' out loud
Here comes the dancers one bye one
Your mama's callin' but you're havin' fun
You find you're dancin' on a number nine cloud
Put your hands together now and sing It out loud
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll fantasy
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll dream
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll fantasy
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll dream
Put up the spotlights one and all
And let the feelin' get down to your soul
The music's so loud you can hear the sound
Reachin' for the sky and churn In up the ground
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll fantasy
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll dream
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll fantasy
Its all PART of my rock 'n roll dream

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'll only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to PART
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go melt back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
And anyway, I'm not alone
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
The Parting of the ways - The Carpenters

Where has it gone?
The love we shared?
The love I live for is no longer there
If God only planned it to last all our days
There never would have been a PARTING of our ways
Love was so bright, then you went away
My days were sunny; now they are gray
If God only planned it to last all our days
There never would have been a PARTING of our ways
I hope and pray that he'll return to me
Forever since he's been gone, I've been in misery
I hope someday he'll come up to my door
Saying he's sorry he'll leave no more
My love is gone now; it didn't last
Who was my future now is my past
If God only planned it to last all our days
There never would have been
Never would have been now
Never would have been a PARTING of our ways
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has ev'rything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I want to be where the people are
I want to see
want to see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - feet
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
(What's that word again?) street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
PART of that world
What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick o' swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
(What's the word?) burn?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
PART of that world

Just an old fashioned love song
Playing on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they'll never go
You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three PART harmony
To weave our dreams upon and listen
To each evening when the lights are low
To underscore our love affair with tenderness
And feeling that we've come to know
You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three PART harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three PART harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
To weave our dreams upon and listen to a song
Just an old song coming down
Just an old song
What I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three PART harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three PART harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three PART harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old fashioned love song
Coming down in three PART harmony

I'd like to live out all my dreams
And if I could, yes if I could
The nicest one would be with you
And you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely.
Lord I'm no good when you're away
But what do you expect
From a girl
Who loves you like I love you
Won't you ever just get tired
And come on home to me
Don't you ever get lonely.
YOU'RE A PART OF ME
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away.
Friends say it's great now you're a star
But what do they expect from a girl
Who loves you just the way you were
And late at night, I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Don't you ever get lonely.
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away.
Take you away
Honey, I love you
Take me away
'Cause honey I love you
Take me away
I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
As shadows fall, I pass a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a PART of me
Oh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa oh
If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a PART of me
'Cause there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

Torn between two lovers - Mary MacGregor
only registered users can see external links
There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another word let me tell you, I love you
Let me hold you close and say these words as gently as I can
There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me and he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules
You mustn't think you've failed me
Just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said
I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the PART of me I gave to you
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules
I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules

If your MEMORY serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
I was gonna confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember that you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To give you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory served you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
If your memory serves you well

MEMORIES, pressed between the pages of my mind
MEMORIES, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Quiet thought come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet MEMORIES
Sweet MEMORIES
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you
MEMORIES, pressed between the pages of my mind
MEMORIES, sweetened through the ages just like wine
MEMORIES, MEMORIES
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you
MEMORIES, pressed between the pages of my mind
MEMORIES, sweetened through the ages just like wine
MEMORIES, MEMORIES, sweet MEMORIES
MEMORIES, MEMORIES
MEMORIES light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
MEMORIES may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

Ecco qui una musica
che forse era per noi,
a me sembra molto splendida,
tu puoi farne quel che vuoi…
Questa MEMORIA è labile,
non me la ritrovo mai,
ma, se riesco a ricordarmene,
mi potrei anche convincere…
Non fingere, no
non fingere, no
non fingere,
non fingere,
che mi viene da ridere…
Questa MEMORIA è labile
non me la ritrovo più,
ma, se riesco a ricordarmene,
sai potrei anche convincerti
That's like Barbra Streisand trying to claim MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA, it doesn't work!

A winter's day
In a deep and dark
December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island
Don't talk of love
But I've heard the words before
It's sleeping in my MEMORY
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
Up with the sun, gone with the wind,
She always said I was lazy.
Leaving my home, leaving my friends,
Running when things get too crazy.
Out to the road, out 'neath the stars,
Feeling the breeze, passin' the cars.
Women have come, women have gone,
Everyone trying to cage me.
Some were so sweet, I barely got free,
Others, they only enraged me.
Sometimes at night, I see their faces,
I feel the traces they've left on my soul.
Those are the MEMORIES that made me a wealthy soul,
I tell you, those are the MEMORIES that made me a wealthy soul.
Travelin' man, love when I can,
Turn loose my hand 'cause I'm goin'.
Travelin' man, love when I can,
But sooner or later I'm goin' on.
Travelin' man, travelin' man.
Sometimes at night, I see their faces,
I feel the traces they've left on my soul.
Those are the MEMORIES that made me a wealthy soul,
Tell you, those are the MEMORIES that make me a wealthy soul.

THIS IS THE DAY I LEARNED
TO DIVIDE SEX AND LOVE
TWO SIDES OF A SICK NIGHTMARE
WHEN GOOD OLD TIMES PRETEND
TO BE MY ONLY FRIEND
I FIND MYSELF IN QUICK SAND
THE PAST KILLED ME
(SELF DESTRUCTION)
MEMORIES
DO NOT BRING LUCK
(NOR SALVATION)
BACK TO ME
I WISHED ME BACK BUT CAN'T REWIND
THE SIN HAS BLINDED ME THAT TIME
DELUSION'S SHORT REMORSE IS LONG
WHEN GOOD OLD TIMES PRETEND
TO BE MY ONLY FRIEND
I FIND MYSELF IN QUICK SAND
THE PAST KILLED ME
(SELF DESTRUCTION)
MEMORIES
DO NOT BRING LUCK
(NOR SALVATION)
BACK TO ME
THE PAST KILLED ME AGAIN
THE PAST KILLED ME AGAIN
THE PAST KILLED ME
THIS IS THE DAY I LEARNED
TO DIVIDE SEX AND LOVE
MEMORY IS A BITCH
THE PAST KILLED ME
(SELF DESTRUCTION)
MEMORIES
DO NOT BRING LUCK
(NOR SALVATION)
BACK TO ME
THE PAST KILLED ME AGAIN
THE PAST KILLED ME AGAIN

Hey, you know, everybody's talkin' about the good old days, right
Everybody, the good old days, the good old days
Well, let's talk about the good old days
Come to think of it as, as bad as we think they are
These will become the good old days for our children, hum
Why don't we, ah
Try to remember that kind of september, when
When life was slow and oh, so mellow, hum
Try to remember, and if you remember then follow
Oh, why does it seem the past is always better
We look back and think
The winters were warmer
The grass was greener
The skies were bluer
And smiles were bright
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we
Could we
MEMORIES, like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor MEMORIES
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Hahaa
Oh, can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, haha
Would we
Could we
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
Remember, the way we were
Midnight not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her MEMORY?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
MEMORY, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the MEMORY live again
Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon
It will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn''t give in.
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a MEMORY too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me!
It''s so easy to leave me
All alone with the MEMORY
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you''ll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.

Take one fresh and tender kiss,
Add one stolen night of bliss,
One girl; one boy; some grief; some joy:
Memories are made of this.
Don't forget a small moonbeam.
Fold it lightly with a dream.
Your lips and mine,
Two sips of wine:
Memories are made of this.
Then add the wedding bells;
One house where lovers dwell;
Three little kids for the flavor.
Stir carefully through the days ~
See how the flavor stays.
These are the dreams you will savor.
With His blessings from above,
Serve it generously with love.
One man, one wife,
One love, through life:
Memories are made of this.

It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my MEMORY
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said because
They thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
In some train yard
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waitin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my MEMORY
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
Or Elvis’ version. only registered users can see external links
Lots of great lines in that song.
Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The MEMORY of my angel
Could never cause me pain
Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
Angel is the centerfold
Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eye
I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
To see her in that negligee
Is really just too much
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
Angel is the centerfold
It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on
Take you car, yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private
A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My Angel in the centerfold
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
My blood runs cold
My MEMORY has just been sold
Angel is the centerfold

Have you seen your mother, BABY, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice
Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Well I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine?
Tell me a story about how you adore me
Live through the shadow, see through the shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow
Hate in the shadow, love in the shadow life
Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have they had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Where have you been all your life?
Talking about all the people who would try anything twice
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Has she had another baby, standing in the shadow?

Sometimes you feel it
Other times you're bored
You understood me once
But now you're lost
You weren't sorry
For things that you said
And it don't mean nothing
Cause we're already dead
You know I mean it
You know I'm scared
I've seen a hundred like you
Running out of air
You know I love you
But you soon will see
That it don't mean nothing
Till you figure out what it means
It's clear to me, you're like
The oceans and the light
Try and you'll remember what you used to be
It's clear to me this day can take you for a ride
A place that you once longed to be
I know you're tired
I know you're hurt
One day, I promise, BABY
You gonna make it work
But for now the question
Is laying in our hands
And it don't mean nothing
Till we figure out the plan..

Ah, baby, it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Oh beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour
The neighbours might think
Oh baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink
There's no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
You know it's cold outside
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Oh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Eww, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home
Ah, baby, you would freeze out there
Say, lend me a comb
You know it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old out
Ah but it's cold outside

You can stay all night if you want to
You can hang out with all of his friends
You can go and meet his mother and father
Better make sure that's where it ends
'Cause, BABY there's just one thing that you've gotta know
Let him read your palm and guess your sign
Let him take you home and treat you fine
But, BABY
Don't let him waste your time
Don't let him waste your time
'Cause the years flash by in an instant
And you wonder what he's waiting for
Then some skinny bitch walks by in some hot pants
And he's running out the door
So remember that one thing you've gotta know
Let him read your palm and guess your sign
Let him take you home and treat you so fine
But, BABY
Don't let him waste your time
Don't let him waste your time
You ain't getting no younger
And you've got nothing to show
So tell him that it's now or never
And then
Go, go, go, go, go
He can have his space
He can take his time
He can kiss you where the sun don't shine
Oh, BABY
Don't let him waste your time
Don't let him waste your time
(from the same 2004 LP as above)

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be also good
If you'll check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight

BABY don't go,
Pretty baby please don't go
I never had a mother,
I hardly knew my dad
I've been in town for eighteen years
You're the only boy I've had
I can't stay,
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go,
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so,
Pretty baby please don't go
I never had no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
I can't stay,
I'm gonna be a lady some day
Baby don't go,
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so,
Pretty baby please don't go
When I get to the city,
My tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
Yes I'm goin' away,
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go,
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go

(Baby, it's cold outside.)
I've got to go away.
(But, baby, it's cold outside.)
This evening has been.
(So happy that you dropped in.)

My mother will start to worry.
(Beautiful, what's the hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor.
(Listen to fire place roar.)
But really I'd better scurry.
Or maybe just a half a drink more.
(Put the record on, while I pour.)
But the neighbours might think.
(Baby, it's bad out there.)
Say, what's in this drink?
(There ain't any cabs out there.)
I feel as I'm in.
(Your eyes are better than sin.)
Some crazy spell.
(I love your hair it looks so swell.)
I'd rather say, "No, no, no, sir."
(What if I move in closer?)
At least, I'm gonna say, that I tried.
(What's up with the hurt of my pride?)
I really can't stay.
Baby,

You don't like crazy music
You don't like rockin' bands
You just wanna go to a movie show
And sit there holdin' hands
You're so square, BABY, I don't care
You don't like hotrod racin'
Or drivin' late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight
You're so square, baby, I don't care
You don't know any dance steps that are new
No one else could love me like you do, do, do, do
I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square, baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care, baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care
I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, baby

You're so square, baby, I don't care

You uppity women, I don't understand
Why you gotta go and try to act like a man,
But before you make your weekly visit to the shrink
You better occupy the kitchen, liberate the sink.
"Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed,"
That's what I to my baby said,
"Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
"Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed."
Early every morning you're out on the street
Passing out pamphlets to everyone you meet.
You gave up your Maiden Form for Lent
And now the front of your dress has an air scoop vent.
Every single great man that's ever come along
Had a little woman always tellin' him that he's wrong.
Eve said to Adam, "Here's an apple for you, Hoss"
And Delilah defoliated Samson's moss.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my BABY said,
Women's liberation is a-goin' to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
Meanie minded harpies are breaking all the laws
Tearing up their girdles and a-burning up their bras,
Now the air is dirty and the sex is clean
And your coffee makes my hair turn green.
So damned emancipated in your mind and your body,
Gonna have to cancel all your lessons in karate.
If you can't love a male chauvinist
You better cross me off of your shopping list.

Worries, worries pile up on my head

Have you heard the news that's going 'round here
The man in charge has got to go
Cause he dances 'round the problem, boy
And the problem is the man in charge you know
Now, the young knows what I'm talking 'bout
It's a con in the old man's game
The man in charge, he don't know what he's doing
He don't know the world has changed
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Think the problem is me and you
Born in a time that has gone by
The old tell the young what to do
Have you heard the news that's going 'round here
The problem is the man in charge of you
The problem is the man in charge of you
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Think the problem is me and you
Have you heard the news that's going 'round here
The man in charge has to go

Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
Man he done cut if off
And moved it all around
There ain't no river runnin'
No water can't be found
Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
Fish ain't swimmin'
Ain't no fish around nowhere
Fish ain't swimmin'
Ain't nobody seem to care
They botteled up and dammed it
Choked it up and jammed it
Killed the life around it
And stole it like a bandit
Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
What used to be a river
Now is just an empty site
Ain't no vegetation
It's just an agitation
It don't seem right
There ain't no trees a growin'
No animals are showin'
What used to be a stream
Is now just a dream
Stone river
Water ain't runnin' nowhere
Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
Man he done cut it off
And moved it all around
There ain't no river runnin'
No water can't be found
Stone river
Water ain't runnin' no more
They botteled up and dammed it
Choked it up and jammed it
Killed the life around it
And stole it like a bandit

There ain't no trees a growin'
No animals are showin'

Is now just a dream

50 ways to leave your lover - Paul Simon
only registered users can see external links
"The PROBLEM is all inside your head", she said to me
"The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover"
She said, "it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover"
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Ooh, slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
You just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said, "it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again"
I said, "I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways"
She said, "why don't we both just sleep on it tonight?
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light"
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Oh, you hop on the bus, Gus
