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!
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Morning has BROKEN like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it 'Lonesome Town'
Where the BROKEN hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a handful of tears
We're going down to lonesome town
Where the broken hearts stay
We're going down to lonesome town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
And maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget
The Bee Gees
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrows
How can you mend a BROKEN heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

You must understand, though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be BROKEN,
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed, I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason, you do it for me
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart (when a heart can be broken?)
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, what's love?
What's love?
Oh-oh
Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or lose her
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you - and that's the only way
Shake - shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a BROKEN heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancing one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a BROKEN Oheart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision
They confused me so
(Owner of a lonely heart)
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
(Owner of a lonely heart)
And don't you hesitate at all - no no
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a) Owner of a BROKEN heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a BROKEN heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
(Owner of a lonely heart)
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
(Owner of a lonely heart)
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it

In Babylon
On the boulevard of BROKEN dreams
My will power at the lowest ebb
Oh what can I do?
Oh buccaneer
Can ya help me put my truck in gear?
Can ya take me far away from here?
Save my soul from sin?
You want to get away you've had it man
Nothing's going right
So come sit on the sands of the island
Island of Lost Souls
No luxuries, no no amenities
Too dull, your senses
Oh oh only primitive
"Hey hey really get away," is what he said
Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear
And golden sands are calling out to you inviting
Make a new man outa you
You can come for a while come with a friend
Forget about work start all over again
Let the real you through, here's what we do
Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
No luxuries, no no amenities
Too dull, your senses
Oh oh only primitive
Hey hey really get away

Cold Chisel
Hiked up to Sydney in the week before Christmas
It was thirty-eight degrees in the shade
Bought a second-hand Morris for a cheap two-twenty
And drove it down to Adelaide
She boiled for an hour twenty miles out of Euston
I thought the heat would never end
But I knew I'd be home for Christmas with my Sandy
And a few extra dollars to spend
I drove it to the buyer just as fast as I could go
I was talking to his teenage son
I sure hope it lasted for the poor little bastard
At least until he'd had some fun
I caught a taxi homeward with great anticipation
Thinkin' all you have to do is try
There was a note propped up against the dressing table mirror
"Dear Jimmy, it's over, goodbye!"
Home and broken hearted
I've been pasted to the telephone
Boxing Day break was wasted sitting home on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
And on the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
Went to a party, tried to drink myself happy
The steaks were washed away in the rain
Finished up in bed with an old acquaintance
She'll never be my friend again
And everyone was asking me where's the little woman
Rolled home before the rain could stop
I've been sitting for days reading pre-Christmas papers
With my heels on the table-top

Baby, don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each others' hands
This time might be the last, I fear
Unless I make it all too clear
I need you so, ohh
Take these BROKEN wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these BROKEN wings
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it right, mmm
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
I need you so
So take these BROKEN wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these BROKEN wings
You've got to learn to fly
Learn to live and love so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in, yeah, yeah
Let us in
Let us in
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
So take these BROKEN wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these BROKEN wings
You've got to learn to fly
Learn to live and love so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

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

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

For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar

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

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

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?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
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?

Ah, who the fuck are you? (Who are you?

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?

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
You're face to face

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard
Mama gonna buy you a mockingbird

Baby gonna take it to a private eye
If that private eye can't see
He gonna have to come an talk to me
Said hey Bo Diddley
Hey now Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
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
WHO do you love
WHO do you love
WHO do you love
Night was dark the sky was blue
Down the alley we was swingin' through
Lord I heard just what I seen
WHO do you love

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
Supertramp
Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well, what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
Yes, it's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
How they **** the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
WHO are these men of lust, greed and glory?
Rip off the masks and let's see
But that's not right, oh, no, what's the story?
But there's you and there's me
That can't be
So roll up and see
How they r@pe the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
WHO can it be knocking at my door?
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?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see
It's just my fantasy
Yeah

Are we more than strangers passing by?
Is this your dream? Are you in mine?
Are we really here or lost in time?
Will you be friend or lover?
Show me the heart you conceal
Now is the time to discover
If this feeling we're feeling is real
So close to love and yet so far
Just one kiss will tell us who we are

The video games say play me
Face it on a level but it take you every time
On a one on one
Feeling running down your spine
Nothing gonna save your one last dime 'cause it own you
Through and through
The databank know my number
Says I gotta pay 'cause I made the grade last year
Feel it when I turn the screw
Kick you 'round the world, there ain't a thing that it can't do
Do to you, yeah

Get it in the aisle, take it to the world
Spinning like a dynamo
Feel it goin' 'round and 'round
Running out of chips, you got no line in an 8-bit town
So don't look down, no

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

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

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

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
