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!
Good luck everyone.

You're wondering who I am
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Machine or mannequin
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
I am the modren man
I've got a secret, I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling
My brain I.B.M., so if you see me
Acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone
And somewhere to hide
To keep me alive, just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive
I'm not a robot without emotions
I'm not what you see
I've come to help you
With your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour
Forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances
Went beyond his control
Beyond my control, we all need control
I need control, we all need control
I am the modren man
(Secret, secret I've got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
So no one else can see
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity

Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape
Just when I needed to
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I want to thank you
Please, thank you, oh
The problem's plain to see
Too much technology
Machines to save our lives
Machines, de-humanize
The time has come at last
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
To throw away this mask
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Now everyone can see
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity, I'm Kilroy, Kilroy, Kilroy, Kilroy

When you close your eyes and go to sleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you're dreaming about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
Cuz I hear it in the night
I hear the SECRETS that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You're telling me the SECRETS that you just can't hide
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
Cuz I hear it in the night
I hear the SECRETS that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
Everythng about you is a mystery
You tell me that you want me

Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you lay to waste
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie
You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The SECRET I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

Secret by Madonna
Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let it go
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret

The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through
Someone slipped and fell, was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength, your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened, for I have news for you
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
There is no night for in His light you never walk alone
Always feel at home, wherever you may go
There is no power can conquer you, while God is on your side
Take Him at His promise, don't run away and hide
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

Am I dreamin' or stupid?
I think I've been hit by cupid
But no one needs to know right now
I met a tall, dark and handsome man
And I've been busy makin' big plans
But no one needs to know right now
I got my heart set, my feet wet
And he don't even know it yet
But no one needs to know right now
I'll tell him someday some way somehow
But I'm gonna keep it a SECRET for now
I want bells to ring, a choir to sing
The white dress the guests the cake the car the whole darn thing
But no one needs to know right now
I'll tell him someday some way somehow
But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now
We'll have a little girl a little boy
A little Benji we call Leroy
And no one needs to know right now
And I'm not lonely anymore at night
And he don't know only, only he can make it right
And I'm not lonely anymore at night
And he don't know only, only he can make it right
I'm not dreamin' or stupid
But boy have I been hit by cupid
But no one needs to know right now
No one, no one, no one needs to know right now
No one, no one, no one needs to know oh oh right now

They've given you a number and taken away your name
Beware of pretty faces that you find

Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away

SECRET agent man, SECRET agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
SECRET agent man, SECRET agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Swingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

t's no SECRET, it's no secret
It's no secret, it's no secret
It's no secret, it's no secret
It's no secret, it's no secret
When I first met you, how you changed my life that day
But with each tomorrow you just seem to drift away
Then I discovered that you were cheating
You were cheating on me
But I was the last to know
Our love was a lie
And it's no secret, it's no secret
How you hurt me inside
And it's no secret because you told everybody
Didn't I really love you, you know I gave you all my heart
When I put my arms around you I never thought we'd ever part
Then I discovered, I guess you couldn't love me
Like you said you loved me, oh no
Why was I the last to know
Our love was a lie
And it's no secret, it's no secret
How you hurt me inside
And it's no secret because you told everybody
All of my life I was looking for someone just like you
You shattered my dreams, tore me apart, what can I do?
But I was the last to know
Our love was a lie
And it's no secret, it's no secret
How you hurt me inside
And it's no secret because you told everybody
Our love was a lie
And it's no secret, it's no secret
How you hurt me inside
And it's no secret because you told everybody
Our love was a lie
And it's no secret, it's no secret
How you hurt me inside
And it's no secret because you told everybody
It's no secret, it's no secret

Secret Lover's by Atlantic Starr
Here we are the two of us together
Taking this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
'Cause if they found out
It could mess up, both our happy homes
I hate to think about us all meeting up together
As soon as I looked at you it would show on my face
Then they'll know that we've been loving each other
They can never no, oh no, we can't leave a trace
Secret Lovers that's what we are, we shouldn't be together
But we can't let it go, oh no, cause we love each other so
Sittin at home I do nothing all day
But think about you and hope that your ok
Hoping you'll call before anyone gets home
I'll wait anxiously, alone by the phone
How could something so wrong be so right
I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight
Living two lives just ain't easy at all
But we gotta hang on and after fall
Secret lovers that's what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let it go, cause what we feel is oh so real
So real

The old covent garden
I remember only too well
The girl's a fool
She broke the rule
She hurt him hard
This time you will break down
She's lost his trust
And so she must
All is lost
The System has broke down
Romance has broke down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
She plays it hard
She plays it tough
But that's enough
The love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end you'll soon recover
The romance is over

This boy has broken down

In the old TOWN

Well I was born in a small TOWN
And I live in a small TOWN
Probably die in a small TOWN
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small TOWN
My parents live in the same small TOWN
My job is so small TOWN
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small TOWN
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small TOWN
Used to daydream in that small TOWN
Another boring romantic that's me
But I've seen it all in a small TOWN
Had myself a ball in a small TOWN
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small TOWN
Now she's small TOWN just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small TOWN
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big TOWN
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big TOWN
But my bed is in a small TOWN
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well I was born in a small TOWN
And I can breathe in a small TOWN
Gonna die in this small TOWN
And that's probably where they'll bury me

Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed that much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told 'em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in TOWN
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she got
When I say she was cool she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town
Just spread the word around
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town

Spread the word around
The boys are back in town

The boys are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boys are back in town again

There's a place where lovers go to cry their troubles away
And they call it Lonesome TOWN, where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two to last you all through the years
And the only price you pay is a heart full of tears
Going down to Lonesome Town, where the broken hearts play
Going down to Lonesome Town to cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams, the streets are filled with regrets
Maybe down in Lonesome Town, I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town, I can learn to forget.

Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon
I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune
Upon his flute, toot, toot, toot, toot
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town
People pass me by on my imaginary street
Ordinary people, it's impossible to meet
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
Well, I don't know
Oh, where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know
I don't know

Ain't it strange how people change and almost overnight
Who once was a country girl is now a, a socialite
We're proud for you, but when you're through
And seek some common ground
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
We still drink cokes and tell old jokes and bowl at Splits and Strikes
Country music still plays on the jukebox every night
Society is not for me, but I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
RSVP is not for me and black tie's not my style
I thought you'd like to know 'cause you ain't been here for awhile
We read about your tour de force, we're glad you get around
But we miss you on the old side of town
We still drink cokes and tell old jokes and we bowl at Splits and Strikes
George Jones is still a hero on the jukebox every night
Society is not for me, but I can still be found
Oh, we miss you on the old side of town
Babe, we miss you on the old side of town
How can you tell me how much you miss me
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein'
Must have put you down
So welcome back baby
To the poor side of TOWN
To him you were nothin' but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
And girl it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of TOWN
I can't blame you for tryin'
I'm tryin' to make it too
I've got one little hang up baby
I just can't make it without you
So tell me, are you gonna stay now
Will you stand by me girl all the way now
Oh with you by my side
They just can't keep us down
Together we can make it girl
From the poor side of TOWN
Oh, with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of TOWN

Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a TOWN like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of TOWN, Chicago is
My kind of TOWN, Chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of TOWN
My kind of TOWN, Chicago is
My kind of TOWN, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley building, Chicago is
The union stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of TOWN

**** time, is she and you time?
The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This TOWN ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Flying, domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-coloured bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave
Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go round
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that this town isn't big enough, not big enough for both of us
This town isn't big enough, not big enough for both of us
I ain't gonna leave

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
D1rty old town
D1rty old town
Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
D1rty old town
D1rty old town
Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
D1rty old town
D1rty old town
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
D1rty old town
D1rty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
D1rty old town
D1rty old town
D1rty old town

Matter of Trust- Billy Joel
One, two, one, two, three, four
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
And they may not want it to end
But it will it's just a question of when
I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
But that won't happen to us
Cause it's always been a matter of trust
I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
I can't offer you proof
But you're going to face a moment of truth
It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust
You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for god's sake don't shut me out
This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until its only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust
I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong
Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
Cause it's always been a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
It's always been a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
Cause it's always been a matter of trust

Still the One - Orleans
We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one -- I want to talk to in bed
Still the one -- that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one -- that makes me laugh
Still the one -- that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one -- that makes me strong
Still the one -- I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one (yes you are)
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one -- that I love to touch
Still the one -- and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one -- who can scratch my itch
Still the one -- and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one -- that makes me shout
Still the one -- that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one, yeah still the one
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, whoa-oh, worse than two
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
ONE is the loneliest
ONE is the loneliest
ONE is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
ONE is the loneliest (number)
ONE is the loneliest (number)
ONE is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
ONE is the loneliest (number)
ONE is the loneliest (number)
ONE is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
ONE (ONE is the loneliest number that you'll ever do)

ONE is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Nevermind always seem to beat me to it at the moment, fortunately their tastes and mine are very different.
I've even been exposed to artists I've never heard of and even exposed to songs I've never heard of from artists I thought that I was somewhat knowledgeable about. Maybe I'm not going to be so boastful about my knowledge of Rock-n-Roll, this has been a real eye opener for me.
I'm always grateful to be exposed to music I've missed in my travels.
However, talking of predictable here is a Francoise Hardy track
So many Friends - Francoise Hardy
only registered users can see external links
So many friends have come and gone like you have done
I meet them for a while between the rain and snow
Like birds of passage sheltering from a stormy sky
We get to know each other while the clouds pass by
They always leave a little of themselves behind
A tenderness and sympathy so hard to find
They listen to my troubles with a look so wise
But often there's a touch of sadness in their eyes
Like you, you came to me, from the storm
You came to me and I kept you warm
So many friends of mine before have done the same
They go away from me as quickly as they came
Their hearts are full of tenderness and love to share
With all the lonely people they meet everywhere
Who knows exactly what the future has in store?
ONE thing I know for certain, I've got one friend more
A friend in need will always find a friend in you
Maybe some day when I'm alone you'll see me through
Some day, I'll come to you from the storm
I'll come to you and you'll keep me warm.
Well, there was no reason to believe she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
'Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there to behind you, just to remind you
Two hearts, believing in just ONE mind
You know we're two hearts believing in just ONE mind
'Cos there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her
And it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are
Two hearts, believing in just ONE mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just ONE mind
Together forever till the end of time
She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her
We're two hearts, believing in just ONE mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just ONE mind
Together forever till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just
Believing in just ONE mind, in just ONE mind, just ONE mind
Til the end of time
Two hearts, two hearts, believing in just ONE mind
Beating together til the end of time

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Back to the world that's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

It's awesome!
The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet, why don't they
Do what they say, say what you mean, and baby
ONE thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then
ONE thing leads to another
The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see comes from living close to your fears
If this is up then I'm up but you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump leads to shock miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat, why don't they
Do what they say, say what they mean
ONE thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then
ONE thing leads to another, yeah, yeah, yeah
ONE thing leads to another
Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know why you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough
Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
You run for cover in the heat why don't they
Do what they say, say what they mean
ONE thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then
ONE thing leads to another, yeah, yeah
ONE thing (ONE thing) leads to another
ONE thing (ONE thing) leads to another
ONE thing (ONE thing) leads to another
ONE thing (ONE thing) leads to another
ONE thing (ONE thing) leads to another
ONE thing (ONE thing) leads to another

One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Just call my name
And I'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My loves too strong to hide
Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
Of things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

George Thorogood & The Destroyers, ONE WHISKEY, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER

About the house-man blues
I come home ONE

I said no, can't find no job
Therefore I ain't got no money
To pay the rent
She said I don't believe
You're tryin' to find no job

She said that don't concern me
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent
And out the door I went
So I go down the streets
Down to my good friend's house

She said yeah? I said oh yeah
And then she was so nice
Loh' she was lovy-dovy
So I go in my room,
Pack up my things and I go
I slip on out the back door
And down the streets I go
She a-howlin' about the front rent,
She'll be lucky to get any back rent
She ain't gonna get none of it

This ONE will never sell,
They'll never understand,
I don't even sing it well,
I try, but I just cant.
But I sing it every night,
And I fight to keep it in,
Cause this one's for you,
This one's for you.
I've done a hundred songs,
From fantasies to lies,
But this one's so real for me
That I'm the one who cries.
But I sing it every night,
And I fight to hide the tears,
Cause this one's for you,
This one's for you.
This one's for you wherever you are,
To say that nothing's been the same
Since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have,
This one's for you
Oh - Oh -
I've got it all, it seems,
For all it means to me.
But I sing of things I miss,
And things that used to be.
And I wonder every night,
If you might just miss me, too.
And I sing for you. I sing for you.
This one's for you wherever I go,
To say the things I should have said -
Things that you should know.
This one's to say that all I can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing 'cause
This one's for you - Oh -
This one's for you wherever you are
To say that nothing's been the same
Since we've been apart
This one's for all the love we once knew (fade out)
Like everything else I sing (fade out)
This one's for you... oh... (fade out)
One Too Many Mornings
only registered users can see external links
Down the street the dogs are barking and the day is getting dark,
When the night begins to fall then the dogs will lose their bark,
And the silent night will shatter from the sounds inside my mind,
And I'm one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind.
From the crossroads of my doorstep my eyes begin to fade,
And I turn back to the room where my love and I had laid,
I gaze across the street to the sidewalks and the signs,
And I'm one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind.
It's a restless hungry feeling and it does no one no good,
Everything I'm saying you could say it just as good,
You're right from you side and I'm right from mine,
We're both just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind.
Oh, let's go
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another ONE bites the dust
Another ONE bites the dust
And another ONE gone, and another ONE gone
Another ONE bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another ONE bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another ONE bites the dust
Another ONE bites the dust
And another one gone, and another ONE gone
Another ONE bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another ONE bites the dust
Hey
Oh take it
Bite the dust
Bite the dust
Hey
Another ONE bites the dust
Another ONE bites the dust oww
Another ONE bites the dust hey hey
Another ONE bites the dust eh eh
Oh shooter
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down
But I'm ready, yes, I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat oh yeah
Another ONE bites the dust
Another ONE bites the dust
And another ONE gone, and another ONE gone
Another ONE bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another ONE bites the dust
Oh shooter hey hey, all right

ONE of these Nights,
One of these crazy ole nights,
We're gonna find out, pretty momma,
What turns on your lights.
The full moon is calling, the fever is high,
And the wicked wind whispers and moans.
You got your demons, you got desires
Well, I've got a few of my own.

Despite what a certain dim wit around these parts had to say about this thread, and those that post in it. In her typical jealous, outraged, ignorant demeanor. I do not Google anything, pertaining to this thread! That being said, I will only post what truly comes to mind when I see "the word" for the day. You guys have stumped me many times, we shall see about that 3 in a row. 😉

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say one love, one life (One life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One, one
One, one
One, one
One, one
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
See we hurt each other, then we do it again
You say love is a temple, love is a higher law
Love is a temple, love is a higher law
You ask me of me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on to what you got, 'cause all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One, one
One, one
One
One love, one life

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
You're still the ONE I run to
The on that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holdin' on
We're still together still goin' strong
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
R.E.M. --The one I love
This one goes out to the one i love
This one goes out to the one i left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one i love

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slips away
'Cause your baby is so far away
Well there's a rose, in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you had
There's a girl, right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
So get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need, any more advice
And there's a rose, in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

Make no mistake I don't do anything for free
I keep my enemies closer than my mirror ever gets to me
And if you think that there is shelter in this attitude
Wait til you feel the warmth of my gratitude
I get the feeling that it's two against one
I'm already fighting me, so what's another one
The mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun
Lucky for me, I'm not the only one
And if it looks to me like you in your reflection
Plan to add your own fight to this dimension
Then tell it this ain't no free-for-all to see
There's only three, it's just you and me against me
I get the feeling that it's two against one
I'm already fighting me, so what's another one
The mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun
Lucky for me I'm not the only one
Lucky for me I'm not the only one
And if your foot's on to sick a thousand "yes men"
Plan to break into the middle of this little plan
Then there's your plan to hear me say
That I won't play around the way
Anyway, I plan to plan around them
I get the feeling that it's two against one
I'm already fighting me, so what's another one
The mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun
Lucky for me I'm not the only one
Lucky for me I'm not the only one
