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!

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
[Chester Bennington:]
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true

(You point the finger at me again)

Say it's true
There's nothing like me and you
I'm not alone
Tell me you feel it too
And I would RUN AWAY
I would run away, yeah, yeah
I would run away
I would run away with you
'Cause I have fallen in love with you
No, never
I'm never gonna stop falling in love with you
Close the door
Lay down upon the floor
And by candlelight
Make love to me through the night (through the night)
'Cause I have run away
I have run away, yeah, yeah
I have run away, run away
I have run away with you
'Cause I have fallen in love (fallen in love) with you

With you, my love, with you
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
On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
(All your life)
All your life all you've asked when's your daddy gonna talk to you
But you were living in another world trying to get your message through
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head (ooh-ooh)
Ooh, she's a little RUNAWAY
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little RUNAWAY
Take a line every night guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets, calling for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights at night on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find (ooh-ooh)
Ooh, she's a little RUNAWAY
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little RUNAWAY
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes (seen it in your eyes)
What was going around your head
Ooh, she's a little RUNAWAY
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little RUNAWAY
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away
Oh, she's a little RUNAWAY
Run, run, run, run, run, a little RUNAWAY
(Daddy's girl learned fast)
(All those things she couldn't say)
Ooh, she's a little RUNAWAY
Run, run, run, run, run, a little RUNAWAY

In a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh
Then we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar?
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars?
Don't tell us you need us 'cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday and I'm seein' that bumper to bumper traffic.)

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, RUBY Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose," I heard her say
"Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind?"

That would shame the stars that shine
My darlin', my darlin'
You were the first in line
When they gave out lips like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darlin', my darlin'
You were the first in line
There may be others that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darlin', say I'm your darlin'

There may be others that know you longer

I want it again, but violent, more violent
Yeah, I'm the one with no soul

See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
RUBY glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting-a ling-a linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a like-a tear drops
Running from her head
Now she's dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me
I can't look away now
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
Closer, closer, she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight
She stands lost for speech
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
[Break]
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Now I hold her, people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
TUBY, are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh, RUBY
Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, RUBY
I still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh, RUBY
Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh, RUBY
Don't take your love to town
Oh, RUBY
For God's sake turn around

Far from day, far from night
Out of time, out of sight
In between earth and sea
We shall fly, follow me
Dry the rain, warm the snow
Where the winds never go
Follow me, follow me
Follow me
Follow me to a cave by a SAPPHIRE shore
Where we'll walk through an EMERALD door
And for thousands of breathless "evermore's" my life you will be
Only you, only I
World farewell, world goodbye
To our home 'neath the sea
We shall fly, follow me
Only you, only I
World farewell, world goodbye
To our home 'neath the sea
We shall fly, follow me
Follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me
Shine bright like a DIAMOND
Shine bright like a DIAMOND
Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we'd become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Palms rise to the universe
As we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we'll never die
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive

She's really upset with me again
I didn't give her what she likes
I don't know what to tell her
Don't know what to say
Everything got funky last night
She was really bombed
And I was really blown away
And when I asked her what she wanted
And this is what she had to say
A PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She gets a charge out of being so weird
Digs getting downright strange
But I can keep a handle on anything
Just this side of deranged
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she knew it in her head
And this is what she had to say
A PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She is so tough
And pure as the driven slush
And that's not jewelry she's talking 'bout
It really don't cost that much
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she knew it in her head
And this is what she had to say
A PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't
When nothin' comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know how he feels
Once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go
Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon
Everywhere it's all around
Comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all around
Laughin' right out loud
Hey, watch where you're goin'
Step light on old toes
'Cause until you've been beside a man
You don't know who he knows
Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon
Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Blame it on midnight
You can blame it on midnight
Shame, shame, shame, shame on the moon
You can blame it on midnight
Shame on the moon

You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years
And though you try you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears
You better stop and look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
When you were a child you were treated kind but you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
And your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax
You better stop and look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
Oh, who's to BLAME
That girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make matters worse
Oh, please
You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind
And after that you turned your back on treating people kind
On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind
But after a while I realized you were disarranging mine
You better stop and look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
Oh, who's to BLAME
That girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work

BLAME it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know, the last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you, said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong
But then I've been there before
Everything's all right, I'll just say good night
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide
Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'
for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to
take the BLAME for a love song
Because the best love songs are written
with a broken heart
And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me

Shot through the heart and you're to BLAME
Darling, you give love a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
Whoa, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to BLAME
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
Yeah, you give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Whoa, you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to BLAME

You made me cry
when you said, "goodbye"
Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to BLAME
You broke my heart
when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame
Oh well, goodbye
although I'll cry.
Ain't that a shame...
I got a certain little girl, she's on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to BLAME now
(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it
She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep
Listen, hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to BLAME now
(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning

Yeah I gotta gotta have it
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' 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 led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The mornin' 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 led 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 any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't wanna 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 playin' pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished 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 wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
I want to show you the picture I drew
When I was on the phone talking to you
I made a heart and I colored it red
'Cause I want you here on my side of the BED
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
I've been dreaming since I was born
And in my dreams I see eyes like yours
I'll be the pillow where you lay your head
Lay your head
If you'll come and sleep on my side of the bed
[Chorus]
Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room
Lay down
[Chorus]
Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room
Lay down
[Verse 3]
I know you hurt, I feel the pain
Take my hand and come out of the rain
We all need to be comforted
You can get yours on my side of the bed
On my side of the bed
[Chorus]
Lay down on my side of the bed
Come lay down
[Outro]
(Tra-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la)
(Lay down, lay down) Ooh
I made a heart, I colored it red (Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la)
(Lay down, lay down) Colored it red
Lay down, lay down (Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la)
(Lay down, lay down) Ooh
(Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la)
(Lay down, lay down) Ooh
I made a heart, I colored it red (Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la)
(Lay down, lay down) Colored it red
Lay down, lay down (Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la)

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
And your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there′s diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
And you live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard St. Michel
Oh, where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, oh yes you do
And you go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circles
Oh, they hang on every word you speak, yes they do
chorus
But where do you go to, my lovely?
Oh, when you're alone in your BED
Oh, won′t you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
verse
Oh, I've seen all your qualifications
And you got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does
And when you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
Oh, with your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back, and on your legs
And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
And you never get your lips wet, oh no you don′t
chorus
But where do you go to, my lovely?
Oh, when you′re alone in your bed
Oh, won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
verse
Oh, when you′re in between twenty and thirty
And that's a very desirable age
Oh, but your body is firm and inviting
But you live on a glittering stage, do, yes you do
And your name is heard in high places
Oh, you know the Aga Khan
Oh, we sent you a race horse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha
And they say that when you get married
It′ll be to a millionaire
Oh, but they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
chorus
Oh, but where do you go to, my lovely?
When you′re alone in your bed
Oh, won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
bridge
I remember the backstreets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, they tried
So look into my face, Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Oh, then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside
chorus
Oh, I know where you go to my lovely
Oh, when you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
Because I can look inside your head
outro
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Out where the river broke
The blood-wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our BEDS are burning
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our BEDS are burning
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty-five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our BEDS are burning
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our BEDS are burning
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our BEDS are burning

I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show
In my heart, you know how it pains me
A life of leisure is no life you know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Oh, I think you should go
Make a cup of tea, put a record on
I'd work very hard, but I'm lazy
I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head
I'll get a guitar, and a lover who pays me
If I can't be a star I won't get out of BED
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Oh, I think you should go
Make a cup of tea, put a record on
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen.
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you.
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead.
Every morning there's a halo hanging
From the corner of my girlfriend's four-post BED
I know it's not mine, but I'll see if I can use it for
The weekend or a one-night stand
Couldn't understand
How to work it out
Once again, as predicted, left my broken heart open
And you ripped it out
Something's got me reeling
Stopped me from believing
Turn me around again
Said that we can do it
You know I wanna do it again
(Sugar Ray say)
(Every morning)
(Every morning when I wake up)
(Shut the door, baby, don't say a word)
(She always rights the wrong, she always rights, she always rights)
(Shut the door, baby, shut the door, baby)
Every morning there's a heartache hanging
From the corner of my girlfriend's four-post BED
I know it's not mine and I know she thinks she loves me
But I never can believe what she said
Something so deceiving
When you stop believing
Turn me around again
Said we couldn't do it
You know I wanna do it again
(Every morning)
(Every morning when I wake up)
(Shut the door, baby, don't say a word)
(Every morning)
(Every morning when I wake up)
(Shut the door, baby, shut the door, baby)
She always rights the wrong for me
Baby
She always rights the wrong for me
Every morning there's a halo hanging
From the corner of my girlfriend's four-post BED
I know it's not mine, but I'll see if I can use it for
The weekend or a one-night stand
(Shut the door baby, don't say a word)
Every morning
Every morning when I wake up
(Shut the door, baby, shut the door, baby)
Every morning
Every morning (Turn me around again)
(Shut the door, baby, don't say a word)
Every morning (Do it again)
Every morning when I wake up
Every morning
(Shut the door, baby, don't say a word)
Every morning when I wake up
Paul Kelly
In the morning, we trash the bed
You bring me coffee, black and boiling
Then we start up again
And the coffee goes cold
I wake up drinking from your lips
Kisses warm and tender
And I'd give up the world
Just to see you smile
One thing I'll never understand
It's become my problem
And it's something that's right out of my hands
My hands are clean
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?
I went to town with a moody man
A handsome Dr Jekyll
He was right by my side
Turning into Mr Hyde
I ran for cover, but I ran too slow
I was stitched by strangers
And they shook their heads
That somebody could do the things you did
One thing I'll never understand
It's become my problem
And it's something that's right out of my hands
My hands are clean
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?
I must be mad, I must be crazy
Everyone tells me so
All of my life, I've seen it coming
Now I'm facing the wall, I'm waiting for the blow
In the morning, you kiss my head
You say it was somebody else, you weren't feeling yourself
Now you're down on your knees
Begging me, "Baby, baby, baby, forgive me please"
I wake up aching from your touch
I wake up tender
Then I look in your eyes, the way you smile
I'm a fool, I'm hypnotized
One thing I'll never understand
It's become my problem
And it's something that's right out of my hands
My hands are clean
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?
Mm-mm
Turn so mean
I wanna know
Mm-mm
Might be your daddy
Must be your daddy
I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man, he's just a man
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways
He's just one more
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He SCARES me so
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about
Yes, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head, I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

I read the book you read
Tasted the words you said
Our story is darkening with time
One fading afternoon
The leaves dried in your car
No picture understood
But I had a feeling I would cry
You hid it all from me
Ooh, I'll miss you forever
Let's hope we've always summer
Yeah, bring on the night, I don't care (bring on the night, I don't care)

You should've learned your lesson all them times before
You've been bruised, you've been broken
And there's my mind saying, "Think before you go
Through that door, it could lead you nowhere."

All for the sake of sexy

Then there's my sense saying, "Stop before you fall
I don't want to pick you up again."

Has got you all romantic, crazier each day

She had an horror of rooms, she was tired, you can't hide beat
When I looked in her eyes, they were blue but nobody home
Well, she could've been a killer if she didn't walk the way she do
And she do
She opened strange doors that we'd never close again
She began to wail jealousy's scream
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
She asked me to stay and I stole her room
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise
Well, I love the little girl and I'll love her till the day she dies
She wails Jimmy's guitar sound, jealousy's scream
Waiting at the lights, know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters and super creeps
Keep me running, running scared

I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so SCARED in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
"Please, please"
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see, it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me

She said, "It's cold outside" and she hands me a raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
She said, "It's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault"
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams, and her voice is straining
And she says, "Baby, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"
And she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be SCARED of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this"
She's got a little bit of something, God, it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears that the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining
And she says, "Baby, when it's 3 AM I must be lonely"
Well, heaven she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be SCARED of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this"
Well, she believes that life isn't made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining
And she says, "Baby, It's 3 AM I must be lonely"
Well, heaven she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be SCARED of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this"
Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely
Well, heaven she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be SCARED of it all sometimes"

The sun is high and I'm surrounded by sand
For as far as my eyes can see
I'm strapped into a rocking chair
With a blanket all over my knees
I am a stranger to myself
And nobody knows I'm here
When I looked into my face
It wasn't myself I'd seen
But who I've tried to be
I'm thinking of things I'd hoped to forget
I'm choking to death in a sun that never sets
I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed
And turned all of my friends into enemies
And now the past has returned to haunt me
I'm SCARED of God
And scared of hell
And I'm caving in upon myself
I'm scared of God
And scared of hell
And I'm caving in upon myself
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
[fade]
In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Yes, girl, we were
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
'Cause baby I'm just a SCARED and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, babe
I want to know if love is real
Oh, can you show me?
Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones
Scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
(1, 2, 3, 4) The highways jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun
But till then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Oh honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Come on with me, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day? Hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
MR. Blue Sky is living here today, hey

You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic brean
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a come hither gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mister Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
Sp please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring us
Please, please, please
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream

I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
'Cause worrying's a waste of my time
The show usually starts around seven
We go on stage at nine
Get on the bus at eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine
We been dancin' with
MR. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't' leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone
I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
We been dancin' with
MR. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone
Now, I get up around whenever
I used to get up on time
But that old man, he's a real motherfucker
Gonna kick him on down the line
I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
We been dancin' with
MR. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone
No, no no
He won't leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone
Stuck it in the middle and I shot it in the middle
And it, it drove outta my mind
I should've known better, said I wish I never met her
Said, I leave it all behind
Yowza

MISTER Moonlight
You came to me one summer night
And from your beam you made my dream
And from the world you sent my girl
And from above you sent us love
And now she is mine, I think you're fine
'Cause we love you, Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight, come again please
Here I am on my knees begging if you please
And the night you don't come my way
I pray and pray more each day
'Cause we love you, Mister Moonlight
And the night you don't come my way
Oh, I pray and pray more each day
'Cause we love you, Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight, come again please
Here I am on my knees begging if you please
And the night you don't come my way
Oh, I pray and pray more each day
'Cause we love you, Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight, Mister Moonlight, Mister Moonlight
