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!

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

Too Late to Apologize- One Republic
I'm holdin' on a rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound (Oh yea..)
They tell me that you mean it
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that your sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around
And say
That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I take another chance, take a fall, take a shot from you
I need you like a heart needs a beat
It's not from you (Yeaaaa)
I loved you with a fire red and I was turnin' blue
And to say
Sorry like the angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize
It's too late
Said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
It's too late to apologize
It's too late
Said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I'm holdin' on the rope
Got me ten feet off the ground

Some where in the distance I hear the bells ring darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing and the lady cross the street she shuts out the night there's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light but it's too late too late too late for love
Have I told you LATELY that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
For the morning sun in all it's glory
Meets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love less defined
And its yours and its mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
Have I told you LATELY that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love less defined
And its yours and its mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
Have I told you LATELY that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow (oh)?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I'm telling you now
Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping
Every dream I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you why the nights are long
When you're not with me?
Well darling (darling) I'm telling you now (telling you now)
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling (darling) I'm telling you now (telling you now)
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling (darling) I'm telling you now (telling you now)

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too LATE
She's come undun
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too LATE
It's too LATE
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize

She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too LATE
It's too LATE
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undun
Too many mountains, and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days

The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't of been no more
Than one or two
I remember there's a radio
Comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed
The way some ladies do
When it's LATE in the evening
And the music's seeping through
The next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys
I'm with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue
Some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound
Of a cappella groups, yeah
Singing late in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
Then I learned to play some lead guitar
I was un/derage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
And when I came back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
And it was LATE in the evening
And I blew that room away
The first thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl
No matter what I do
Well I guess I'd been in love before
And once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one
The way that I loved you
And it was LATE in the evening
And all the music seeping through

Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no
There'll be good times again for me and you

It's getting late
But you're too blind to see
What you're doing to me
Time has run out
Soon a new day will dawn
With that day you'll be gone
No you don't know
How I feel in my heart
I can't bear us to part
And you can't see
How I'm hurting inside
Or the tears that I hide
Just as the night
Will end with the dawn
You'll fade from my sight
Too soon you'll be gone
Soon you will seem
A lifetime away
You'll be like a dream
Which ends with the day.
For the purists, here is the original French version, the first line translates still as ‘It’s getting late’

See the stop-light turn-in' red,
Don't you listen to what it's said.
All the things you try to hide,
They keep you runnin' hard inside.
Oh, you got to leave this town before it's...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Ooo, yes, my friend, you're fadin' fast, if you stay here you won't last.
Before your time has run astray, you've got to try to get away.
Oh, you got to leave this place before it's...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late to make the change
Yes, it's time to make the change, yes, it's time to rearrange,
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
Oh, you got to leave this town before it's...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late, too late, to make the change
Too late to make the change

The Bangles--Hazy shade of winter
Time, time, time
See what's become of me...
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While i looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
In the days of my youth
I was told what it was to be a man
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to do the same old jam
Good TIMES, bad TIMES
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care
Sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be
Only took a couple of days
Till she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end
When I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend
Good TIMES, bad TIMES
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care
Good TIMES, bad TIMES
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care
I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part

They say I'll love again someday
A true love will come my way the next TIME
But after you there'll be never be a next time
For me
They say that I'll find happiness in someone
Else warm caress the next time
I'll soon forget your kiss
And heartaches such as this will
Just be ancient history
They say that I'm a fool to weep, that
I won't go on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've
Broken in two
But how can I fall in love the next time
When I'm still so much in love
With you
When I'm still so much in love
With you
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the stories be told
They can say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll-oll
Won't you let the good times roll
Good times roll
If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll-oll

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go

It's been such a long time
I think i should be goin'
Time doesn't wait for me

Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
Yeah, i've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something i could say
Well i'm takin' my time
I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me
After i've been gone
And i take what i find
I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door
Ah yeah, it's been such a long time
It's been such a long time
Well I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy
Well this could be the last TIME
This could be the last TIME
Maybe the last TIME
I don't know, oh no, oh no
Well, I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow
Well this could be the last TIME
This could be the last TIME
Maybe the last TIME
I don't know, oh no, oh no
Well this could be the last TIME
This could be the last TIME
Maybe the last TIME
I don't know, oh no, oh no
Well I told you once and I told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
'Cause I'll be gone a long, long time
Well this could be the last TIME
This could be the last TIME
Maybe the last TIME

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind go
Drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
Well I'm not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on are the things that don't last
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you should feel
That there's something to learn
It's just a game that you play
Well the picture is changing
Now you're part of a crowd
They're laughing at something
And the music's loud
A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand
But you're all alone, in those
Time passages
I know you're in there, you're just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower's watch
If your friends took a fall, are you obligated to follow
Time after, time after time
When the bull's on his hooves, when you gather friends by the tower
If you try to refuse, will they judge your worth by the hour?
Time after, time after time
Time after, time after
If your tired and you're tried you can find me in my room
You can stay if you want and the third time you can't lose
Time after, time after time
Time after, time after time
Ask the girl of the hour, by the water tower's watch
We can fight if you want but who will turn out the light
Time after, time after time
Time after, time after time
Time after, time after time

We're here for a good time - Trooper (1977)
A very good friend of mine
Told me something the other day
I'd like to pass it in to you
'Cause I believe what he said to be true
He said
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day
And the sun is shinin'
In this rainy city
And the sun is shinin'
Oh, isn't it a pity
And every year, has it's share of tears
And every now and then it's gotta rain
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day
And the sun is shinin'
In this rainy city
And the sun is shinin'
Oh, isn't it a pity
That every year, has it's share of tears
Every now and then it's gotta rain
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day

From the film Jackie Brown
I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
Now didn't I do it, baby, didn't I do it baby
Gave you the love you never knew, girl, oh
Didn't I do it, baby, didn't I do it baby
I've cried so many times and that's no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Yes sir
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
Now, didn't I think it baby...didn't I think it baby
But this time I'm really leavin' you girl, oh
Hope you know it baby, hope you know it baby
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Yes sir
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Oh)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Hoo)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Did I blow your mind, baby)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Can't you see)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Did I blow your mind)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Ooh baby, ooh)
Girl, can we talk for a second
I know it's been a long time
Since some someone's blown your mind, like I did
There'll be other times, for me and you
And I can see the tears fallin' from your eyes
Tell me girl, did I blow your mind
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Did I blow your mind baby)
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Ooh, ooh , ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me one time
Could not speak
Love me one time baby
You know my knees got weak
Love me two times girl
Love me all through the week
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times babe
'Cause I'm goin' away
Love me two times girl
Once for tomorrow, once just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love Me Two Times lyrics © Doors Music Company
And hasn't been mine since 1976
Well, things were spinning round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me
Been in so many places
You know I've run so many races
And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
And something is just not right
'Cause I know that I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
'Cause, New York's not my home
Though all the streets are crowded
There's something strange about it
I lived there about a year and I never once felt at home
I thought I'd make the big time
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
And now I'm telling you
That they were not the nice kind
And it's been so long since I have felt fine
That's the reason that I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
'Cause New York's not my home
That's the reason that I gotta get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I gotta get out of here
'Cause New York's not my home
