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!

Monday had a sad child
Always feeling low down
Tuesday had a dream child
She's always on the go
So I'm in love with Saturday's child
Every time you take her out at night (she drives me wild)
You want to kiss and hold her way up tight (gonna spend my time)
You can tell the future's looking bright (making sure that Saturday's child is mine)
If you love a Wednesday
You live your life apart now
And if you love a Thursday
She's gonna break your heart
So I'm in love with Saturday's child
Every time you hold her close you'll see (She drives me wild)
You can feel the thrill that's gonna be (Gonna spend my time)
Now the future has a guarantee (Making sure that Saturday's child is mine)
Seven days of the week made to choose from
But only one is right for me
I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe
I can tell by the way she looks at me
Friday likes a good life
She'll take you for a ride now
And Sunday makes a good wife
She wants to be your bride
So I'm in love with Saturday's child
Every time you take her out at night (she drives me wild)
You want to kiss and hold her way up tight (gonna spend my time)
You can tell the FUTURE'S looking bright (making sure that Saturday's child is mine, Saturday's child)
Every time you take her out at night (she drives me wild)
You want to kiss and hold her way up tight (gonna spend my time)

I called your name out loud
To a stranger yesterday
When she turned around
I said "I'm sorry"
And just walked away
From a distance
She had that look
And for a second or two
I thought it was you
Took a moment to catch my breath
Try to brace myself
Still don't have a clue
On how to leave your memory behind
After all this time
I hear there's one special love in each life
And I must look like a fool
I thought it was you
I still drive by your house
Taking trips down memory lane
We had our future worked out
At least we did on that old porch swing
Today in my rear view mirror
I saw an old Malibu
Girl I thought it was you
Took a moment to catch my breath
Try to brace myself
Still don't have a clue
On how to leave your memory behind
After all this time
I hear there's one special love in each life.
And I must look like a fool
I thought it was you
Am I really a fool?
I thought it was you
I thought it was you
Why couldn't it be you?

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my FUTURE lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

All my love, came to nothing and oh! my love
When I woke up to find,you were no longer mine.
All my love, thrown away after all this time
Now there's no place for me,in the FUTURE you see.
I don't understand you,
I've done all I can do
tell me how could I give you more,more than...
All my love, came to nothing and oh! my love
When I woke up to find,you were no longer mine.
All my love, came to nothing and oh! my love
When I woke up to find,you were no longer mine.

Who'll tell your future? I can't tell my past
Who'll tell your future? I can't tell my past
Seem like every minute, Lord, is sure gonna be my last
Gonna hoodoo you baby, got you on my mind
Hoodoo you, baby, got you on my mind
When you feel my spell, darlin', it will drive you right outta your mind
You're a crazy little mama, and you know you can't be beat
I got somethin' for you, baby, that is awful sweet
Come on, little mama, gonna knock you right off your feet
See that picture, baby, hangin' up on your mama's shelf?
See that picture, baby, hangin' up on your mama's shelf?
I'm gettin' tired, tired, tired, Lord, of sleepin' all by myself
Who'll tell your future? I can't tell my past
Who'll tell your future? I can't tell my past
Seem like every minute, Lord, is sure gonna be my last
Though the past was sour, Lord, the future can be mighty sweet
We finally found a home, and our love just can't be beat
You know it's forever, and I'm never, never gonna leave
This is your future, you can forget about the past
This is your future, you can forget about the past
Our love is gonna grow, and you know that it's gonna last
In 1991, I got glassed
Cousin got murdered, friend got attacked
And the house next door to ours
Got ransacked again
But seeing is believing, hearing is receiving
A deaf and blind world that I don't believe in
Blinded by light, flattened by sound
Over and out, underground
But seeing is believing, and hearing is receiving
A deaf and blind world that I don't believe in
Blinded by light, flattened by sound
Over and out
Underground, down here
Talk to us, we'll hear
The FUTURE is here
Walk with us from here
In 1993, I will be
3-0 years inside this body
Don't know what's going on outside me
But seeing is believing, hearing is receiving
A deaf and blind world that I don't believe in
Blinded by light, flattened by sound
Over and out
Underground, down here
Talk to us, we'll hear
The FUTURE is here
Walk with us from here

Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday,
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay.
When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on.
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
Well he said friend it ain't the end let's see what I can do.
If you own a home, I've got a loan, tailor made for you.
Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note."
The devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play.
I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.

There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
EMPTY chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade
At dawn
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more
Oh my friends, my friends
Don't ask me what your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no

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, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
You mustn't think you 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, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking 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, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
A boy named Sue - Johnny Cash

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an EMPTY bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue".
Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue".
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue".
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said, "My name is 'Sue'! How do you do!
Now you're gonna die!"
Yeah, that's what I told him!
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."
He said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you 'Sue'."
Well, what could I do, what could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams, they aren't as EMPTY
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams, they aren't as EMPTY
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
Mm, mm
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Filled up with sadness, sometimes, yeah.
My rooms are so empty, empty, empty, empty.
Child, filled up with sadness, honey, sometimes, sometimes.
Oh well it just, it just moves in,

Don't you know I've tried.
Cried, cried, cried, cried, cried.
Baby now, I've been missin' you.

Much more that it seems it should be.

Baby, now, now,
Baby, tell me why,
Does it have to be
Oh, so wrong for me ?
I never thought I could ever want anybody,
No, no, no, never did, I never did.

Whoa, I never, never, never needed nobody, no, no,
But maybe you could help me ¡ª
Why am I feelin' so strange ?

An' I've got a great big bed
With two pillows for my head.
Hey, but lately I been sleepin', sleepin' alone.

It's another lonely evening
In another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another EMPTY bottle
Mmh and another EMPTY bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another EMPTY head
Mmh, that's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm going to do
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
(Ride on) standing on the edge of the road
(Ride on) thumb in the air
(Ride on) one of these days I'm gonna change my evil ways
'Til then I'll just keep riding on
Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red-light nightmare
Woah, an' another red-light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
'Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm lonely
Lord, I'm lonely
What am I gonna do?
got myself a one-way ticket
(Ride on) goin' the wrong way
(Ride on)
(Ride on) gonna change my evil ways
(Ride on)
One of these days
One of these days
I'm gonna
(Ride on)
(Ride on) mmh, lookin' for a truck
(Ride on) Mmh
(Ride on) keep on riding
Ridin' on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
have myself a good time
(Ride on) mmh, yeah
(Ride on) ride, ride, ride
(Ride on) one of these days
(Ride on) one of these days
A hollow heart and empty head
Make the streets run red
A careless desire leaves a child
A future of fire
But you don't care
How could you care
Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everybody telling you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
You lead your nation with a sword
Pressed to its back
You mark the last page of history in black
But you don't care
How could you care
Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everybody telling you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
Why must you poison ?
You're taking it all away
Why must you **** ?
The future this way
Now you made your Babylon, what next?
Should only take you 7 days to fix the mess
You don't care
How could you care
A junkie walking through the twilight
I'm on my way home
I left three days ago
But no one seems to know I'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
Home is filled with pain and it
Might not be such a bad idea if I never
Never went home again
Stand as far away from me as you can
And ask me, “Why?”
Hang on to your rosary beads
Close your eyes to watch me die
You keep saying, “Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it.”
God, but did you ever try?
To turn your sick soul inside-out
So that the world, so that the world can watch you die?
Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams
Home was once an EMPTY vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams
Home is where the needle marks
Tried to heal my broken heart
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
If I never went home again, home again, home again, home again
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it
Can't go home again, home again, home again
You know I can't go home again
Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
I’m alone again
When I’m by myself
I can be myself
And my life is coming
But I don’t know when
You were burning, now you’re black and gray
You were burning, now you’re black and gray
Something I would never say
I’m alone again
When I’m by myself
I can be myself
And my life is coming
But I don’t know when
Toute ma vie est avec toi
Toute ma vie est avec toi
Moi j’attends, toi tu pars
Toute ma vie est avec toi
Toute ma vie est avec toi
Moi j’attends, toi tu pars

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
The passage out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns
Here I am
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
The way out of the dark
[4x]
Here I am
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

I've been drivin' all night, my hands wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', sayin', "I need you here"
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She SENDS a cable, coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar love
The radio's playin' some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speedin' into a nude sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing tthat's called a radar love
We've got a line in the sky
Radar love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars go down real slow, woah
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh, one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a thing that's called
Radar love

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't want to go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
I was one of the chosen few
To be born in Alabam'
I'm just like my daddy's son
I'm proud of who I am
I went through a lot of good women
And shook old Jim Beam's hand
If I never see the pearly gates
I've walked through the promised land
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't want to go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry
Like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to hell or New York City
It would be about the same to me
I've got wild honey trees
And crazy little weeds
Growing around my shack
These dusty roads ain't streets of gold
But I'm a happy right where I'm at
All these pretty little southern belles
Are a country boy's dream
They ain't got wings or halos
But they sure look good to me
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't want to go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry
Like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to hell or New York City
It would be about the same to me

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to SEND
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleepy
I'll be there you hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you SEND
Until the very end
I will not abandon you my precious friend
So try and stand the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I'm there
So whistle down the wind
For I have always been
Right there
Oh yeah

We hear you're leaving, that's okay
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
SEND it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

I need a lady, not somebody shady
Need someone to be close to
Somebody cozy, not somebody nosy
Help me see my whole day through
Someone to share the load
Somebody to walk the road I live on, live
Good Lord SEND me, good Lord mend me
SEND me down someone for me
Said I won't be choosy, you could SEND me a floozy
SEND me anybody you please
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody, some, somebody for me
Now won't you SEND me somebody?
Yeah, somebody
Won't you SEND me somebody?
Now won't you SEND me somebody
Well, call for somebody, scream loud and bloody
Call woman, woman, come on to me
Save for tomorrow, share all your sorrow
Misery enjoys company
(Yes it does, yes it does)
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody, some, somebody for me
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody, some, somebody for
In the suburbs, I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting in a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
The kids want to be so hard
But in my dreams, we're still screaming
And running through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothing at all
Meant nothing at all, it meant nothing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand
That I want a daughter while I'm still young?
I want to hold her hand
And show her some beauty before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Then SEND me a son
Under the overpass
In the parking lot, we're still waiting, it's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
'Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passed
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
In my dreams, we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
In the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black, the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun, won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun, won't you come?
Won't you come? Won't you come?
Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind, tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven SEND Hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Black hole sun, won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun, won't you come?
Won't you come?
Black hole sun, won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun, won't you come?
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Hang my head, drown my fear
'Til you all just disappear
Black hole sun, (Black hole sun)
Won't you come (Won't you come?)
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun, (Black hole sun)
Won't you come? (Won't you come?)
Won't you come? (Won't you come?)
Black hole sun, (Black hole sun)
Won't you come (Won't you come?)
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun, (Black hole sun)
Won't you come? (Won't you come?)
Won't you come? (Won't you come?)
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come?
Won't you come?
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, no
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they SEND you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me

All my friends say, I should leave you alone.
You've got a heart like a stone, And a wonderin' eye.
And I know that they're right.
I can make up my mind, Not to see you again,
But you move through my dreams like the wind,
It's no good to pretend, It won't happen again,
Cause it'll happen again.
Some fools never learn.
Play with the fire,
And your gonna get burned.
It's only love when your loved in return.
Some fools never learn.
Some fools never learn.
And baby I tried, But I'm just not that strong,
Yes, I knew all along, But that's not enough
I was falling in love.
And you don't know it, But I came over tonight,
There was somebody's car parked outside.
Damn my eyes, Damn this heart of mine.
I drove off into the night.
Some fools never learn.
Play with the fire,
And your gonna get burned.
It's only love when your loved in return.
Some fools never learn.
Some fools never learn.
Somewhere in the city tonight,
There's a girl and she's lonely like me,
She'll be easy to see.
And naturally, She'll have that look in her eyes,
She'll be feeling that way.
I see it all plain as day.
Oh, I'll never be, what she wants me to be
Oh, but lucky for me
Some fools never learn.
Play with the fire,
And your gonna get burned.
It's only love when your loved in return.
Some fools never learn.

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
LEARNED of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
We had joy, we had fun

Making somebody happy is a question of give and take
You can learn how to show it so come on, give yourself a break
Every smile and every little touch
Don't you know that they mean so much?
Sweet, sweet kisses so tender
Always will return to sender
Like a bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dumb-be-dumb-dumb, be-dumb-be-dumb-dumb
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Love is a tune you hummy-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
A boom-a-boomerang is love
Love is always around and you can look for it anywhere
When you feel that you've found it
My advice is to take good care
Never use it as a selfish tool
Never ever be such a fool
Every feeling you're showing
Is a boomerang you're throwing
Yes a bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dumb-be-dumb-dumb, be-dumb-be-dumb-dumb
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Love is a tune you hummy-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll LEARN
You'll get love in return
So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
And if you're warm and tender
I'll kiss you, return to sender
Please surrender
Bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dumb-be-dumb-dumb, be-dumb-be-dumb-dumb
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
A boom-a-boomerang is love

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you′re gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a wind swept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's LEARNING to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock, set
Mixtures, rich
Propellers, fully forward
Flaps, set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction, check
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

I can see a swath of sinners settin' yonder
And they're actin' like a pack of fools.
Gazin' into space lettin' their minds wander,
'Stead of studyin' the good Lord's rules.
You better pay attention,
Build your comprehension,
There's gonna be a quiz at your ascension.
Not to mention any threat of hell,
But if you're smart you'll learn your LESSONS well!
Ev'ry bright description of the promised land meant,
You can reach it if you keep alert.
Learnin' ev'ry line and ev'ry last commandment
May not help you, but it couldn't hurt.
First ya gotta read 'em, then ya gotta heed 'em.
Ya never know when you're gonna need 'em
Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel
"You better start to learn your LESSONS well!"
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think
Hello, I'm Terry
And I'm going to enjoy myself first
It's good to be wise when you're young
'Cos you can only be young but the once
Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
So glad and live life longer than you've ever done
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think
Never right, yes I know
Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
These three, were given free by the maker
Go to school, LEARN the rules, don't be no faker
It's not wise for you to be a foot stool
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think
I am tireless, sub zero, comin' from the wireless
Won't be no scenery, no part of the machinery
I go on and on, but never below
So now you see me and know
You can check it and go
'Cause I'm so bored
That I can't even pretend no more
It's so pathetic that I'm rolling around on the floor
Laughing at one big gag
And every now and then they pull another rabbit out of the bag
Of sad diversions, useless tedious excursions
Roll into unrealistic, crypto-fascistic
Comedy doctrine, kick the ballistics
Again and again and again, just say when
Ya had enough, sad enough or mad enough
To do something simple and kind
Now is the time
A change of state of mind
I am a loner, a zoner. I utilize the microphone
And if they try a tap I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone
They're wasted, so wasted, so
They're waiting for the visitors so they can go and try again
On the next step, on the next one
Come on and get some, jet some, static, solid-state, automatic
Sporadic and random - 'cause nobody planned 'em
Anarchy, free thought can't be bought
So disregard the lessons and the shit you've been taught
I'm saying it and now they're playing it to me
Larger than life every day and this is what they say:
Shut your mouth and get back in line
And if you don't like it -
Well it suits us just fine
We pull the levers
We hold the strings
And these are just a few of our favourite things
LEARN the words of the company song
"White is right is right is strong"
Come on children all sing along
'Cause if you think you can change
You were never more wrong
No fuck that - you won't take me
You won't break me and you'll never make me
Step in line or step march in time
Well you can violate my body but my soul is still mine
You must think that I'm fucking stupid, man
If you think I'm gonna hang with the program
Some fool schedule
I don't give a shit about
What is or what isn't cool
I make the rules, I stand alone
And if they try a tap I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone
One of these days I'm gonna get sectioned
I bet they even say it's for my own protection
Rejection leads straight to correction
Look out, here comes a strange injection
They've got a drug to numb my erection
But they won't take this from me:
My state of mind
Yeah, yeah
Have you heard the news today?
People right across the world
Are pledging they will play the game
Victims of a modern world
Circumstance has brought us here
Armageddon's come too near, too too near, now
Foresight is the only key
To save our children's destiny
The consequences are so grave, so so grave, now
The hypocrites, we are their slaves
So, my friends, to stop the end
On each other, we depend
Oh, we depend
Mountain high and river deep
Stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
Oh, people, stop it going on
Yeah, yeah
Have you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu in my favourite restaurant
Well, don't talk about quantity
Cause there's no fish left in the sea
Greedy men been killing all the life there ever was
And you'd better play in nature's way
She will take it all away
And don't try and tell me you know more than her
About right from wrong
Oh, you've upset the balance, man
Done the only thing you can
Now my life is in your hands
Mountain high and river deep, oh yeah
We've gotta stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
Oh, people, stop it going on
Ah-hah-hah-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh
Ah-hah-hah-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh
Ah-hah-hah-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh
Ah-hah-hah-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh
Mountain high and river deep
We've gotta stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
Oh, people, stop it going on
Greedy men will fade away, yeah, yeah, yeah
When we stop it going on
I know it's got to be that way
When people stop it going on
I'm askin'
Oh, when you gonna learn
To stop it going on
Now, when you gonna learn
To stop it going on
Now, when you gonna learn
To stop it going on
Oh, when you gonna learn to stop it going on?

'Cause I'm cryin for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin'
Until I'm petrified
And then maybe, these tears will leave my eyes

And the night before
You were on my lonely mind
It seems my life is through
And I'm so dog gone blue

But my tears, I can't hide

'Cause in the last week, I ain't slept a wink
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm crying for you, dear

I had a friend was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speed ball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was
Glory days, well they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby, well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking about
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
I think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
A little of the glory of, well time slips away
And leaves you with nothing mister but
Boring stories of glory days
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

… It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the WINK of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
… Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well, I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
… You've got reason a plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go
… Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well, I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
… As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you.
Every song in my breast lies a bornin'
Without you, without you.
… Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well, I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
She would like to make a wish
Twenty fourth cannot be this
He moved at the speed of light
Through the day and through the night
Fire from the flame of youth
Fire
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
Just my imagination, just my imagination
You go to my head, you go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher
Over and over to me, speeds your love
I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I'd love to hold on
Love to see the fires in motion
I'd love to feel a free world turn tonight
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
Just my imagination, just my imagination
You go to my head, you go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher
Over and over to me, speeds your love
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love
You go to my head, you go to my head
You go to my head, over me.
Higher and higher, higher and higher
All across to me

Are you ready Steve? Uh-huh
Andy? Yeah
Mick? Okay
Alright fellas, let's go!
Oh it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Oh, I see a man in the back as a matter of fact
His eyes was as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner that no one ignores
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
Oh yeah! It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
And the man in the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy I want to warn you"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Oh reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh I softly call you over
Then you appear there's nothing left of you
And the man in the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a WINK of her eye
Oh yeah! It was electric
So frantically hectic
And the band started leaving
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
And the man in the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy I want to warn you"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Oh yeah! It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
And the man in the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy I want to warn you"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz

I woke up this morning my head felt dense
I splashed it with water trying to make it make sense
I stumbled to the kitchen she was standing at the sink
All she had to do was just give me that wink
And slam-bam I'm feelin' alright
Troubles take a hike in the blink of an eye
Don't need to psychoanalyze or have a stiff drink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink
Well it's her way of saying she's on my side
An unspoken message that works every time
When my brain starts smokin' and I can't even think
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink
And slam-bam I'm feelin' alright
Troubles take a hike in the blink of an eye
Don't need to psychoanalyze or have a stiff drink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink
In this complicated world it may sound absurd
But simple little things are the miracle cures
Pushed to the limit or standing at the brink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink
And slam-bam I'm feelin' alright
Troubles take a hike in the blink of an eye
Don't need to psychoanalyze or have a stiff drink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink
And slam-bam I'm feelin' alright
Troubles take a hike in the blink of an eye
Don't need to psychoanalyze or have a stiff drink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink

Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
I dreamt about an old man
Sat and watched the rain all night
He couldn't sleep a WINK as all the drops fell
He told me of the beauty
Hidden in our foreheads
He told me of the ugliness
We show instead
And when we put a foot wrong do we learn
From all the pain
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain
Then at midnight he poured another drink
And bent my ear
After midnight we sat up half the night
Or maybe more
And he began to tell me what it was all for
I woke up in an armchair
He had gone I don't know where
Left me there to sit and look at the rain
Don't remember much at all
But his words were echoing
A midnight summer dream and then wake again
Maybe I'll never find him
Maybe he's gone forever
Maybe I'll have to sit here
Watching the weather
One thing's pretty certain helped me
Make it in the night
Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right
And at midnight if you can't sleep
Then I can bend your ear
After midnight we'll sit up half the night
Or maybe more
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for
Wake up on a good day
And the world feels wonderful
Midnight summer dream has me in its spell.
"Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
"Any of you fucking pricks move
And I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!"
Me and Fast got the gats, we're out to rob the bank
We got Steve outside carrying a full pack
Now everything's cool and everything's smooth
Hey that's smooth...
I walked up to the teller, I gave her the letter
She gives me the loot with puckered up lips and a WINK
That I found cute and I said, "Baby, baby, baby..."
Is this some karmic-chi love thing happening here baby or what?
By that time Fast tapped me with the 9
He said it was time to blow, you know
So out the door we go back to the ride with Steve inside
And alive, and off we drive
See, I hurt my lower lumbar, you know we'll never get far
Riding around in a stolen police car
So we dropped it off and piled in a Caddy
Steve was driving because I had to talk to my man about something
"Look, I don't know anything about any fucking set-up
You can torture me all you want..."
"Torture you, that's good, that's a good idea, I like that one."

All whacked off of Scooby Snacks
And I don't give a fuck about the hell's gate
Ain't punkin' the crowd and I'm still standing up straight
So, we pull these jobs to make a little money
No one gets hurt if they don't act funny
On the way to the yacht, we almost got caught
Fast is shooting mailboxes, not knowing where the cop is, yeah
They're at the Dunkin Donuts, adjacent from the Fromans'
Whose mailbox Fast had just exploded
They gave chase, but my man Steve's an ace
And we lost those brothers with haste
We casted off and along we went
Off Bermuda to an island resort we rented
"Sonny, I need you cool, are you cool?"
"...I am cool."
