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!
Dear Prudence"
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue

The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?
Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

All AROUND my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away
Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he
The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring
But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing
But I being careful like lovers ought to be
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he
And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away
Here's a half a pound of reasons, and a quarter pound of sense
A small sprig of time and as much of prudence
You mix them all together and you will plainly see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he
And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away
All around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away
All around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away

In a hundred wars across the earth,
Men and guns are thought to prove their worth,
Women stay behind and grow the food,
Placing soldiers in a dangerous mood.
Women around the world at work,
Working, working...
There's a man who must be sixty-five,
Makes his living running other lives,
Tells them when they can't and when they can,
They're so busy they don't give a damn.
Women around the world at work...
Working, working...
In The Daily X, May '81,
Back-page human interest story runs:
"GIRLS OF TWELVE STILL SOLD FOR LOVE TODAY",
Just so men can have their bloody way.
Women around the world at work...

The Cascades
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart
Rain, please tell me now, does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care?
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart
Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so?
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, oh
Listen, listen to the falling rain
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, oh

With the RHYTHM in our loving
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
I know what you like
You know just what to do to me
The rhythm is right
We have fun with harmony
You got the bass, I can pick up the pace
There's no time to wait
A perfect love is what you make of it
When our bodies move we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be
Like you and me
With the rhythm in our loving
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
So good together
Some people work better solo
But I could never
Be without you, oh no
I'd miss you touch, as it is
I can't get enough, I'm in heaven above
I give you a melody that's always new
You've got a good beat, I can dance to you
Spinning for as long as we can
Come on let's jam
With the rhythm in our loving
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you

There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
Le beat de jour
C'est le beat d'amour
A perfect love is what you make of it
When our bodies move we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be
Like you and me

Across the street, the river runs
Down in the gutter, life is slipping away
Let me still exist, in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade
Flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere, someway
Where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
Photographs and kerosene
Light up my darkness
Light it up! Light it up!
I can still feel the touch
Of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
I will
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
No expression on my face
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
The RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing

When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (ooh)
By the love I wish I had
Well, I spend my (city RHYTHM) nights in the city's lights (ooh)
And things don't seem so bad
Ya know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I lose my blues
When the New York City rhythm fills my soul
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' though life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
When I'm out (city rhythm) for love or sin (ooh)
Oh, it's good to be in town
In the funky (city rhythm) dives on the old west side (ooh)
There's always somethin' goin' down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger's always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
You know that I don't care
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' through' my life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive

I've been around the world
I've seen a million girls
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she's got
She's stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
She's enough to start a landslide
Just a walkin' down the street
Wearing dresses so tight
And looking dynamite
Enough to blow me out
No doubt about it can't live without it
The girl's got RHYTHM (girl's got RHYTHM)
The girl's got RHYTHM (girl's got RHYTHM)
She's got the backseat RHYTHM (backseat RHYTHM)
The girl's got RHYTHM
She's like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfies me
Love me till I'm legless
Aching and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the Third World War
You know I'm losin' sleep
I'm in too deep
Like a body needs blood
No doubt about it, can't live without it
The girl's got RHYTHM (girl's got RHYTHM)
The girl's got RHYTHM (girl's got RHYTHM)
She's got the backseat RHYTHM (backseat RHYTHM)
The girl's got RHYTHM
You know she moves like sin
And when she lets me in
It's like liquid love
No doubt about it, can't live without it

This boy wants you back again
Oh, and this boy would be happy
Just to love you, but oh my

This boy wouldn't mind the pain
Would always feel the same

Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed BOYS that had been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
I said, the boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she'd got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
I said, the boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town?
You spread the word around
Friday night, they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
(The boys are back, the boys are back)
The boys are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boys are back in town again

Well I'd rather see you dead, little BOY
Than to see you with another girl
You better keep your head, little boy
Or you won't last in my world
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end, little boy
Well you know that I'm a wicked chick
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
So you better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end
Hmm
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
Cause I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, baby boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end
You hear me?
Well I'd rather see you dead, little boy
Than to see you with another girl
You better keep your head, little boy
Or you won't last in my world
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end, little boy

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight

And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Pink Floyd
Come in here, dear BOY, have a cigar
You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try
They're gonna love you
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train
We're just knocked out
We heard about the sell out
You gotta get an album out
You owe it to the people
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green
Have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start, it could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home
But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the BOYS of summer have gone

On the day I was born the rain fell down
There was trouble brewing in my home town
It was the seventh day, I was the seventh son
And it scared the hell out of everyone
They said stop, I said go
They said fast, I said slow
They said yes, I said no
I do the bad BOY boogie
Being a bad BOY ain't that bad
I've had me more dirty women than most men ever had
All you women come along with me
And I'll show you how good a bad BOY can be
I said right and they said left
I said east and they said west
I said up and they said down
I do the bad BOY boogie all over town
I want to tell you no story, tell you no lie
I was born to love till the day I die
I just line them up and I knock them down
And they all came running when the word got round
(Just keep a running)
I said up, they said down
They said straight, I said round
They said lost, I said found
I said free and they said bound
Bad BOY boogie
Bad BOY boogie

You don't know what you've been missin', oh BOY! (Oh BOY!)

All of my life, I've been waitin'
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin', oh BOY! (Oh BOY!)
When you're with me, oh BOY! (Oh BOY!)
The world can see that you were meant for me
Stars appear and the shadows are fallin'
You can hear my heart a-callin'
A little bit of lovin' makes everything right
I'm gonna see my baby tonight

No need to whine BOY
Like a wind up toy you stutter at my feet
And it's never the time boy
You've had too much wine to stumble up my street
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't keep between the sheets
Tell me you're mine love
And I will not wait for other bedtime treats
Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you hate
Or it's something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?
Don't feed me a line boy
I can hear that voice you use upon the phone
And there's no need to be coy
That is something you can do upon your own
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't solve so just relax
Am I on the wrong train love
And will I have to tie you to the tracks?
Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you hate
Or it's something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?
I really want you to
I really want you to
My baby, he don't talk sweet
He ain't got much to say
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
I know that he loves me anyway
And maybe he don't dress fine
But I don't really mind
'Cause every time he pulls me near
I just wanna cheer
O

Oh, let's give the BOY a hand
Let's hear it for my baby
You know you gotta understand
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo
But he's my lovin' one-man show
Oh, whoa, let's hear it for the BOY
My baby may not be rich
He's watchin' every dime
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
We always have a real good time

Makes me wanna yell

Giving It All Away"
I paid all my dues
So I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
I didn't know how to play
I've worked hard and failed
Now all I can say is
I threw it all away
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, sail away
Ooh, well I know better now,
I know better now
Giving it all away
Oh oh, I now better now,
I know better now
I've given it all away
Went out in the world
Too much for my nerves
Well, only myself to blame
See, I was just a boy
And there was nobody else to blame
I've done all I can
Now it's out of my hands
Stand on my head and say
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, yeah sail away
Oh, I know better now,
I know better now
Ain't gonna give it all away
Oh oh, yeah yeah, I now better now,

Ain't gonna give it all away

All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
When will there be a harvest for the world
A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
When will there be a harvest for the world
Gather everyman, gather everywoman
CELEBRATE your lives, give thanks for your children
Gather everyone, gather all together
Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world
Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
Nation after nation, turning into beast
When will there be a harvest for the world
Rare Earth

I just thought I heard a small voice crying
Looked again and saw that it was me
I feel like a little boy denying
That he fears the night 'cause he can't see
Then a larger thought said stop your crying
Don't be scared to search 'cause you may find
Fate holds out a candle for your footsteps
Time rolls back the shadows of your mind
It's a long, long lonely night
You can make the morning if you TRY
It's a long, long lonely night
Oh, we can make the morning if we try
Girl, we can make the morning you and I
Together, together, together
Loneliness is darkness' first companion
Spend the night alone and faith may bend
Share it all and see how fear starts fading
Chase away the shadows with a friend
Dawn's elusive light is just beginning
Now the day can push away the night
Dreams can make the sun feel much brighter
Hope creates a foothold for the light
It's a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
It's a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
Girl, we can make the morning you and I, Oh
Together
It's a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
It's a long, long lonely night
We can make the morning if we try
It's a long, long lonely night

Our two hearts are the same, they could turn out untrue
We don't want to feel pain, yet maybe I love you
Why even TRY to go away, why even try to hide away?
I've got nothing to share, just this world my eyes see
But if it's pain that fear, pain lets no-one go free
Why even try to steal away, why even try to run away?
Or to stay in your ivory tower
Grow in peace like some secret flower
Alone, alone
When the pain is a little less
We forget there's no happiness
Alone, alone
Share the stars in the sky, for they're all I can give
Share these tears we must cry, if we love, if we live
Why even try to stay alone, why even try to live alone?
Share the stars in the sky for they're all I can give
Share these tears we must cry, if we love, if we live
Why even try to stay alone, why even try to live alone, alone?

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want, I'll TRY to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know, the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky, she's cursed
When it come to loving me, she's worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know, the first cut is the deepest
And when it come to being lucky, she's cursed
When it come to loving me, she's worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'Cause if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm driving in my car
And a man talks on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I said
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm watching my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I said
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm riding round the world
And I'm doing this and I'm signing that
And I'm trying to make some girl who tell me
Baby better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey

I can't get no

Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture
Back to back
Sacroiliac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack
Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture
Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you TRY to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercury's and Subaru's
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe too toe
Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, to punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!

Goodbye, I lied

Oh, she may be weary
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah, yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care, yeah, yeah-yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their own happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is, man
Hold her where you want her
Squeeze her
Don't tease her
Never leave her
Get to her, try, try
Just try a little tenderness, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't bruise her, no no
You've got to love her, tease her, don't squeeze her
Gotta try nah, nah, nah, try
Try a little tenderness, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've gotta to know what to do, man

With her high heel against the wall
Kind of dancing, though not at all
She had stockings running up to her thighs
Snaps her fingers to keep the time
From the back of the room I saw her there
I said she wants to be alone and I shouldn't dare
But then she noticed me glance at her
I had no choice but to dance with her
[Chorus]
The lights that move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady-beating, the sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
I watched her feet move, her hips they sway
Does a hair flip then starts to say
Oh, my God, it's my favorite song
I pull her close and she sings along
We can't slow down even if we tried
If the record keeps spinning so will I
She likes disco and tastes like a tear
Tells me don't stop dancing and she's pulling me near
[Chorus]
We've got nowhere to go, we've got nothing to prove
Instead of dancing alone, I should be dancing with you
This song is turning me on, the beat is doing me in
Or maybe it's only you, but either way, lets begin

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
And so you're back, from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk OUT the door
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, oh
Go on now go, walk out the door

Are you picking up my signals again?
Back on your radio
I'm sending you a message
I've been caught inside a radio shadow
For the longest time
Living on outside the range of your love
For the longest time
Tell me, have you been listening to the static
Searching for the echoes of me and you?
Baby loosing you was tragic .
Tell me now, am I getting through?
Are you picking up my signals again?
Back on your radio
I'm sending you a message again
Back on your radio, been
Thinking about you lately
Dreaming about you
Push that reset button baby
Turn that magic dial
Tune into my frequency
I missed you for a long while
Uh
Lately I have heard the whispers of you
In the windy trees
Even though you might be light years away
It puts my heart at ease
Tell me, maybe love is in the static
That you're still OUT there after all
Maybe just like in the old times
Operator place a long distance call
Are you picking up my signals again?
Back on your radio
I'm sending you a message again
Back on your radio, been
Thinking about you lately
Dreaming about you
Push that reset button baby
Turn that magic dial
Tune into my frequency
I missed you for a long while
I believe, I believe, I believe
You came around
And sat on my bedside
I believe, I believe in my heart
We're always together, never apart
Are you picking up my signals again?
I'm sending you a message again
Are you picking up my signals again?
Back on your radio
I'm sending you a message again
Back on your radio, been
Thinking about you lately
Dreaming about you
Push that reset button baby
Turn that magic dial
Are you picking up my signals again?
Back on your radio
I'm sending you a message again
Back on your radio, been
Thinking about you lately
Dreaming about you
Push that reset button baby
Turn that magic dial
Tune into my frequency
I missed you for a long while
The Tragically Hip
They don't know how old I am
They found armour in my belly
From the sixteenth century
Conquistador, I think
They don't know how old I am
They found armour in my belly
Passion out of machine revving tension
Lashing out at machine revving tension
Brushing by the machine revving tension
Morning broke out the back side of a truck stop
End of a line, a real rainbow likening luck stop
Where you could say I became chronologically fucked up
Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped off
Then I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted
It's a cool, sweet kind of place where the copters won't spot it
And I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it
However, every day I'm dumping the body
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
It'd be better for me if you don't understand
Then I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted
It's a cool, sweet kind of place where the copters won't spot it
And I destroyed the map that I carefully dotted
However, every day I'm dumping the body
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
It'd be better for me if you don't understand
Let me OUT
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys (girls and boys)
Making all that noise (ooh)
'Cause they found new toys
We can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag
School's OUT for summer
School's OUT forever
I'm bored to pieces
Well, we got no class
And we got no principals (ooh)
And we got no intelligence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes, well
We can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag
School's OUT for summer
School's OUT forever
I'm bored to pieces
No more pencils, no more books
No more teachers, dirty looks
OUT for summer, OUT 'til fall
We might not come back at all
School's OUT for summer (detention)
School's OUT forever
School's OUT with fever
School's OUT completely
School's OUT for summer

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

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
