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!
Runaway ~ DEL SHANNON

As I walk along, I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young
I'ma walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
I wonder
I wo-wo-wo wonder
Why... why-why-why-why-why
She ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
I run-run-run-run runaway
I'ma walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
I wonder
I wo-wo-wo wonder
Why... why-why-why-why-why
She ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
I run-run-run-run runaway
I run-run-run-run runaway
I run-run-run-run runaway

Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into gray
WHY worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
And though it isn't hard to say
But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now

Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long
This feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight
Darling, I don't know
Why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling, I don't know
Why I go to extremes
Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know
How much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much
Do you think you can take
Until the heart in you
Is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will
Darling, I don't know
WHY I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling, I don't know
WHY I go to extremes
Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong
Or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
WHY do I go to extremes?
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling, I don't know
WHY I go to extremes
Oh, I don't know
WHY I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling, I don't know
WHY I go to extremes
I don't know WHY, I don't know why
I don't know WHY, I don't know why
I don't know WHY, I don't know why
Out of the dark, into the lights
Whether I'm wrong, perfectly right
I don't know WHY
Collective Soul
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City and I don't know WHY
Are we listening?
hymns of offering?
Have we eyed to see?
Love is gathering
Well, all the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one, into one
So I walk up on high and I step to the edg
to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
and I don't know why, don't know why
So I walk up on high and I step to the edge
to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known
Yeah, I walk up on high and I step to the edge
to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I've known
Oh, it's the world I have known
Well, show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask WHY
Oh, don't ask WHY
Show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask WHY
Oh, don't ask WHY
For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know WHY
Oh, moon of Alabama

Whoa, here it comes
That funny feeling again
Winding me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey, I don't know
Oh, tell me where to begin
'Cause I never, ever, felt so much
Hey!
And I can't recall
Any love at all
Oh, baby, this blows 'em all away
It's got what it takes
So, tell me WHY can't this be love?
Straight from my heart
Oh, tell me WHY can't this be love?
I tell myself
Hey, only fools rush in
Only time will tell if we stand the test of time
All I know
You've got to run to win
And I'll be damned if I'll get
Hung up on the line, hey
No, I can't recall
Anything at all
Ah, baby, this blows 'em all away
Woo!
It's got what it takes
So, tell me WHY can't this be love?
You want it straight from the heart, hey
Tell me WHY can't this be love?
Woo! It's got what it takes
So, tell me WHY can't this be love?
Straight from the heart, oh
Tell me WHY can't this be love?
Baby, WHY can't this be love?
Got to know WHY can't this be love?
I wanna know WHY can't this be love?

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party, and the room is in a mess
The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there
WHY don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are naugh-ga-hyde
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking, I believe
It's not easy tryin' to tell her that I shortly have to leave
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate
Kill who I kill to be free?
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me? (She's a wonderful lady)
Why don't you stop and see? (And she's mine all mine)
Why don't you hate who I hate (And there doesn't seem a way)
Kill who I kill to be free? (That she won't come and lose my mind)
Why don't you cut your hair? (It's too easy humming songs)
Why don't you live up there? (To a girl in yellow dress)
Why don't you do what I do (It's been a long time since the party)
See what I feel when I care? (And the room is in a mess)
Well, why don't you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you spot me like you used to do?
When you whisper sweet nothings like you used to do
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So why don't you love me like you used to do?
Well, why don't you be just like you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed, so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you say the things you used to say?
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
Gee, but it's great to get together again
Why does it only happen now and then
We oughta do this more often
Don't you agree that I'm right
We make each other laugh
We make each other sing
And you can never ever over-do a good thing
So why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
Why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
Oh gee, but it's great to get together again

And you can never ever over-do a good thing
Why don't we do it more often

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadow of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my Delilah
WHY, WHY, WHY Delilah
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my Delilah
WHY, WHY, WHY Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my Delilah
WHY, WHY, WHY Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore

You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins
You're so perfect you're so right as rain
You make me
Make me hungry again
Everything you do is irresistable
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?
I'll run around in circles
Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me
Make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?
You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me
Make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go, sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair
Well, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
I took the tube back out of town
Back to the rollin' pin
I felt a little like a dyin' clown
With a streak of rin tin tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
11 hours in the tin pan
God, there's got to be another way
Well, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Ah, who the fuck are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I really wanna know (who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?
Well, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, I really wanna know (who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, tell me, who are you? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, come on who? (Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?)
Ah, who the fuck are you? (Who are you?

Oh, tell me, who are you? (Who are you, who?)
I really wanna know
Oh, I really wanna know
Come on, tell me, who are you, you, you

We passed upon the stairs
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man WHO sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
I never lost control

I walked 47 miles of barbed wire
Use a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside child
Made out of rattlesnake hide
Brand new chimney on top
Made out of human skulls
Come and take a little walk with me Arlene
Tell me who do you love
WHO do you love
WHO do you love
WHO do you love
Arlene took me by my hand
Said cool it Robert you know your my man

All over the world
People must meet and part
There's someone like me
Feeling a pain in their heart
Some may meet again
Under that same bright star
If maybe some night
You come back from afar
WHO cares if tonight
I don't know where you are
Are you thinkin' of me now?
Missin' having me around
If you have forgotten me
My world will come tumbling down
All over the world
Others are sad tonight
There's someone like me
Watching the sun's fading light
All over the sky
There is the same warm glow
Here under that star
I'm wantin' you to know
Wherever you are
That I still love you so

Go away, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
WHO can it be now?
WHO can it be now?
WHO can it be now?
WHO can it be now?
WHO can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears , he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped and here I'll have to stay
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again
WHO can it be now?
WHO can it be now?
WHO can it be now?
WHO can it be now?
Is it the men come to take me away?

Who's that girl?
The language of love slips from my lover's tongue
Cooler than ice cream and warmer than the sun
Dumb hearts get broken just like china cups
The language of love has left me broken on the rocks
But there's just one thing (Ah)
Just one thing (Hey)
But there's just one thing (Oh, yeah)
And I really wanna know
Who's that girl running around with you?
Tell me, who's that girl running around with you?
Tell me, who's that girl running around with you?
Tell me, who's that girl?
The language of love has left me stony grey
Tongue tied and twisted at the price I've had to pay
Your careless notions have silenced these emotions
Look at all the foolishness your lover's talk has done
Who's that girl running around with you?
Tell me, who's that girl running around with you?
Tell me, who's that girl?
But there's just one thing (Ah)
Just one thing (Hey)
But there's just one thing
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Tell me
Tell me, who's that girl running around with you?

I am a man who looks after the pigs
Usually I get along okay
I am man who reveals all he digs
Should be more careful what I say
I'm getting put down
I'm getting pushed round
I'm being beaten every day
My life's fading
But things are changing
I'm not gonna sit and weep again
I am man who drives a local bus
I take miners to work, but the pits all closed today
It's easy to see that you are one of us
Ain't it funny how we all seem to look the same?
I'm getting put down
I'm getting pushed round
I'm being beaten every day
My life's fading
But things are changing
I'm not gonna sit and weep again
My karma tells me
You've been screwed again
If you let them do it to you
You've got yourself to blame
It's you who feels the pain
It's you that feels ashamed
I am a young man
I ain't done very much
You men should remember how you used to fight
Just like a child, I've been seeing only dreams
I'm all mixed up but I know what's right
I'm getting put down
I'm getting pushed round
I'm being beaten every day
My life's fading
But things are changing
I'm not gonna sit and weep again
I'm not gonna weep again

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps.

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or a fiery speech
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
Well, I could tell you "goodbye" or maybe "see you around"
With just a touch of a sarcastic "thanks"
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
Now, the guns are exhausted, the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
If I could only find the words, then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice, I would speak
Oh, it's there in my eyes, oh, can't you see me tonight
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and WEEP
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice, I would speak
Oh, it's there in my eyes, oh, can't you see me tonight
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
I've been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to a scream
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
Well, I could tell you "goodbye" or maybe "see you around"
With just a touch of a sarcastic "thanks"
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
If I could only find the words, then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice, I would speak
Oh, it's there in my eyes, oh, can't you see me tonight
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep (read 'em and weep)
For all the hours we'll be spending alone (read 'em and weep)
For the dreams we'll ignore (it's running silent and deep)
And all those promises we promised to keep
They won't be kept any more (read 'em and weep)
For the magic that our bodies had made (read 'em and weep)
For the blood that we lost (it's running silent and deep)
And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost (read 'em and weep)
For the memories still alive in the bed (read 'em and weep)
For the lies we believed (it's running silent and deep)
And all the things that can never be said
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep?
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and
(It's there in my eyes and comin' straight from my heart)
(It's runnin' silent and angry and deep)
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

I call your name but you're not there
Was I to blame for being unfair
Oh I can't sleep at night
Since you've been gone
I never WEEP at night
I can't go on
Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not goin' to mayayake it
I'm not that kind of man
Oh I can't sleep at night
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
Aww

But just the same
I never weep at night

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break
When the levee breaks, we'll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to WEEP and moan, oh
Mean old levee taught me to WEEP and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Ooh
Oh, don't it make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home
You don't know which way to go
If you're going down south, they got no work to do
If you're going north to Chicago
Ah, ah, ah, hey
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
No, crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh
All last night I sat on the levee and moaned
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
Thinking about my baby and my happy home
Oh-ho
Going
I'm going to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you, ah
Going down, going down now
Going down, I'm going down now
Going down, going down
Going down, going down
Oh
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going, dow-dow-dow-dow-down now
Ooh, ooh
You who thought
Your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you
Who had seen men dyin'
You heard their children cryin'
While their women weep in silence
And you who thought
You were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then
You'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side
And you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life
And the people that you try
To show the way
Never believe you
Never believe you - no way
While your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
Women weep in silence
You make me WEEPI and wanna die
Just when you said we'd try
Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other
When I'm alone all by myself
You're out with someone else
Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other
You're tearin' me apart
Every, every day
You're tearin' me apart
Oh, what can I say?
You're tearin' me apart
It won't be long, yes, till you're alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home
Cause he's lovin', ooh, he's touchin',
He's squeezin' another
He's tearin' you apart
Every, every day
He's tearin' you apart
Oh, girl, what can you say?
Cause he's lovin', touchin' another
Now it's your turn girl to cry
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Traditional
Oh, bury me beneath the willow
Under the weeping willow tree
So she will know where I am sleeping
And perhaps she’ll weep for me
My heart is sad I am lonely
For the only one I love
When shall I see her oh no never
‘Til we meet in heaven above
She told me that she dearly loved me
How could I believe it untrue
Until the angels softly whispered
She will prove untrue to you
Tomorrow was to be our wedding
God oh God where can she be
She’s out a courting with another
And no longer cares for me
Willow WEEP for me
Willow WEEP for me
Bend your branches green
Along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and WEEP for me
Gone my lover's dream
Lovely summer's dream
Gone and left me here
To WEEP my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and WEEP for me
Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
Leave my heart a-breaking
And making a moan
Murmur to the night
To hide the starry light
So none will find me sighing
And crying all alone
WEEPIN' willow tree
WEEP in sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend oh willow and WEEP for me
I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me, yeah me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me, yeah me
Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
But that don't matter, he said, 'cause it's all the same
He said, "Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me
Next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me
Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!
He said, "Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?"
Next we're moving on, he was with me, yeah me
And we'll be moving on and singing that same old song, yeah with me
Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

Well
Listen everybody, let me tell you 'bout the rock n' ROLL
Oh, feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
Mm, come along with me, to a land of make-believe
She said, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king."
She loves that rock'n'roll, and she plays it all night long
Aw, that's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says, "Feel that jumpin' beat, and a-get up on your feet."
She says, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king."
Oh, let those guitars play
Play for me, play for me
Oh, let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be
Well, it rolls like a train that's a comin' on down the track
Oh, she rolled over Beethoven, and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, and she goes dancin' on down the street
She said, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king."
Aw, rock on!
Oh, let those guitars play
Play for me, play for me
Oh, let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be
Well, when she comes around and I'm a listenin' to the radio
She says, "You can't do that, 'cause all I wanna do is rock'n'roll."
"Now here I'm gonna stay, when that music starts to play."
She says, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king."
Aw, yeah, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king."
Uh-huh, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king."
Ooh, yeah, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king."
She said, "Whamalamabamalama, rock'n'roll is king"

You gotta ROLL with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're comin' with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinkin' of things that I just can't abide
I know the roads down which your life will drive (which your life will drive)
I'll find the key that lets you slip inside (lets you slip inside)
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door (not behind the door)
But, you know, I think I recognise your face
But I've never seen you before
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way

So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder
Than you used to be
So you used to shake 'em down
But now you stop and think about your dignity
So now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
You get to feelin' weary when the work days done
Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks
If you're in a fix
Come back baby
Rock and ROLL Jnever forgets
You better get yourself a partner
Go down to the concert or the local bar
Check the local newspapers
Chances are you won't have to go too far
Yeah the rafters will be ringing cause the beat's so strong
The crowd will be swaying and singing along
And all you got to do is get in into the mix
If you need a fix
Come back baby
Rock and ROLL never forgets
Oh the bands still playing it loud and lean
Listen to the guitar player making it scream
All you got to do is just make that scene tonight
Heh tonight
Well now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
Feel a little tired feeling under the gun
Well all Chuck's children are out there playing his licks
Get into your kicks
Come back baby
Rock 'n ROLL never forgets
Said you can come back baby
Rock 'n ROLL never forgets
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Still like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Won't go to hear 'em play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Still like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Still like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Still like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Still like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock 'n' ROLL
Still like that old-time rock 'n' ROLL

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point
Let's ROLL another joint
And turn the radio loud
I'm too alone to be proud
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
To be me
People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
So let's get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
To be me
My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill
So let's get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels
To be me
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels
To be me
Took a look down a westbound road,
right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
and just ROLLED that power on
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
stopped in a baHr to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
and I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'
ROLL, ROLL me away,
won't you ROLL me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
we just walked out and got on that bike
And we ROLLED
And we ROLLED clean out of sight
We ROLLED across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top,
starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east, I could go west,
it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
ROLL, ROLL me away,
I'm gonna ROLL me away tonight
Gotta keep ROLLIN, gotta keep ridin',
keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

Well, roll my breakfast
'Cause I'm a hungry man
I said, shake, rattle and ROLL

Well, you'll never do nothing
To save your doggone soul

Your hair done up so nice

Your hair done up so nice
You look so warm

Peeping in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peeping in a seafood store
I can look at you
'Till you don't love me no more
I believe you're doing me wrong
And now I know
I believe you're doing me wrong
And now I know
The more I work
The faster my money goes
I said, shake, rattle and roll
I said, shake, rattle and roll

Well, you'll never do nothing

So you want to be a rock and ROLL star?
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time and learn how to play
And with your hair swung right
And your pants too tight, it's gonna be all right
Then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
And in a week or two if you make the charts
The girls'll tear you apart
The price you paid for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane
The money, the fame, and the public acclaim
Don't forget what you are, you're a rock and roll star
La, la la la la la, la la la la la la

Neil Young
It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition,
And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament.
But before too long I might see those flashing red lights
Look out, mama, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight.
Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load.
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down.
I'm not goin' back to woodstock for a while,
Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile.
I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day
No, I don't believe I'll be goin' back that way.
Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load.
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down.
