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!

Some kids born with a silver spoon
I guess that I was born a little too soon
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my SHARE
Some kids born as rich as a king
But I was born without a doggone thing
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
I've heard that lonesome whistle blow
From New York City down to Mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet

From New York City down to Mexico

And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware

Lost, lost as a child's first thought
I must have arms to hold me
Lost without loving care
I must have my fair SHARE
Fair, fair is a changing word
But fair is an honored promise
Justice, if you're still there
I will have my fair SHARE
Justice is a lady
Lay me down with justice in a long white gown
With a breath of love, we can SHARE
Share, sleep with me if you dare
Celebrate my fair SHARE
Fair, fair is a changing word
Fair is an honored promise
Justice, if you're still there
I will have my fair SHARE
Justice is a lady
Lay me down with justice in a long white gown
With the breath of love, we can SHARE
SHARE, sleep with me if you dare
Celebrate my fair SHARE

To lead a better life
I need my love to be here
Here
Making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There
Running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there
I want here everywhere
And if she beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her
Everywhere
Knowing that love is to SHARE
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes, and hoping I'm always there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her
Everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be there
And everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their SHARE of loneliness
In my own time, nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do
Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of mornin' light
Filling the world surroundin' me
When I hold you
Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday
I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
And so much is left for us to see
When I hold you
Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday (only yesterday, only yesterday)
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me

And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe, and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road
You will find the road
Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you
Standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul
Ooh baby, I just want to show you what a clear view
It is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was
And really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would SHARE your load
Let me SHARE your load
Ooh, let me SHARE, SHARE your load
And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road
Though the winds of change may blow around you
But that will always be so
Whoa whoa, when love is pain it can devour you, but you are never alone
I will SHARE your load, I will SHARE your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me
In the light
Everybody needs the light
Ooh yeah
Ooh baby
In the light, in the light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah

Come to my loveland, wander along
Beautiful gardens full of flowers and songs
Come to the sunshine, beaches and sand
Here's the two bluebirds, won't you come to my land?
The grass is mellow and the sky is blue
My paradise is waiting here for you
Ooh, it's a tropical loveland
Ooh, I wanna SHARE it with you
Life can be funny, happy and sunny
Ooh, in my tropical loveland, and
Come to my loveland, wander with me (to my loveland, to my loveland)
Lie with me darling in the shade of a tree
Over the rainbow, under the moon (to my loveland, to my loveland)
That's where my land is, won't you come to me soon?
Just take my hand, I'll show you everything
The secrets that my paradise can bring
Ooh, it's a tropical loveland
Ooh, I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny, happy and sunny
Ooh, in my tropical loveland
Ooh, it's a tropical loveland
Ooh, I wanna share it with you (I wanna share it with you)
Ooh, it's a tropical loveland (it's a tropical loveland)
Ooh, I wanna share it with you
Ooh, it's a tropical loveland
Ooh, I wanna share it with you
Ooh, it's a tropical loveland
Ooh, I wanna share it with you
And disciplinary remains mercifully
Yes and um, I'm with you Derek, this star nonsense
Yes, yes
Now which is it?
I am sure of it
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?
How I WISH, how I WISH you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
WISH you were here

Jessie is a friend
Yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah, and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I WISH that I had
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
I'll play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman-
Where can I find a woman like that?
And I'm looking in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl

My WISH came true
When I met you
I've searched and searched
My whole life through
There's just one thing
Dear, before we start
Don't say you care
Then break my heart
When you speak of love
Please be sincere
For if you play with love
It can bring tears, my dear
My wish came true
To my surprise
When you stood there before my eyes
And when my heart
Started beating fast
T'was then I knew
I found true love at last

Look out, here comes tomorrow
That's when I'll have to choose
How I WISH I could borrow
Someone else's shoes
Mary, oh what a sweet girl
Lips like strawberry pie
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails
Can't make up my mind
I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come
Told them both that I loved them
Said it, and it was true
But I can't have both of them
Don't know what to do
I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come
Mary
I love you
Sandra
I love you
Well, I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come
I love you
Darling
I love you
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another, and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I WISH it would rain
(Oh, how I WISH that it would rain)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
(Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying
Eases the pain, oh yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside
Words, they, could never explain
I just WISH it would rain
(Oh, how I WISH that it would rain)
Oh let it rain, rain, rain, rain
(Oh, how I WISH that it would rain)
Oo, baby
Let it rain (rain, rain)
Oh yeah, let it rain
Day in day out, my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain
'Cause rain drops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm crying (crying) crying (crying)
When I go outside
To the world outside
My tears I refuse to explain
Oo, I WISH it would rain
(How I WISH that it would rain)
Oo, baby
Let it rain, let it rain
I need rain to disguise
The tears in my eyes
Oh, let it rain
Oh, yeah, yeah, listen
I'm a man and I've got my pride
'Til it rains I'm gonna stay inside
Let it rain
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
WISHIN' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms

Show him that you care just for him

Well, East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls, with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel all right
And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I WISH they all could be California
I wish they all could be California

And the girls all get so tanned

In the dark of night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I WISH you were
So close to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
By my side
(In the dark of night)
By my side
I WISH you were
I WISH you were
Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
No air at all
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
But I WISH you were
So close to me
By my side

I WISH you were

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal-blue, Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you WISH your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don't have to run day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long (Oh, oh)
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there
It's just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don't have to run day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic Monday
Of all my nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us?
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)
It's just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don't have to run day (Woah, woah)

Well its been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my CAR
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me want to drive
When she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Here in my CAR
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live in cars
Here in my CAR
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days in cars
Here in my CAR
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me, please
If I open my door in cars?

The morning sun touched lightly on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
In a white suburban town
As she lay there 'neath the covers
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
'Till the world turned to orange
And the room went spinning round
At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she'd never
Ride through Paris in a sports CAR
With the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing
And she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised
In her daddy's easy chair
Her husband, he's off to work
And the kids are off to school
And there were, oh, so many ways
For her to spend the day
She could clean the house for hours
Or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street
Screaming all the way
At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she'd never
Ride through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing
As she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised
In her daddy's easy chair
The evening sun touched gently on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the roof top where she climbed
When all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man
Who reached and offered her his hand
And he led her down to the long white car
That waited past the crowd
At the age of thirty-seven
She knew she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris
With the warm wind in her hair
The last two days of posts really surprised me. ScottsCock , the ultimate "rock" kinda guy, posted DAY BY DAY, from Gospsell, yesterday! Oi, I didn't see that coming! Two days ago, Andthisisme , who is EVERYTHING Elvis, ABBA and François Hardy posted SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO, by The Clash, I about passed out! Yesterday was also a very strange one....you posted an oddity with your song choice, A DAY IN THE LIFE by The Beatles. In my opinion, it's super odd to find a song where something from the title isn't found within the body of the song, no? And not to be outdone, later in the day a tune pops into Andthisisme's head and he posts a great song by Little Big Town, GIRL CRUSH, and it slipped his mind that the word was "DAY" and thought it was "THAT"!
Bottom line, this is a 100% FUN thread and WE are glad you joined us in that fun!

Well she got her daddy's CAR
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks, looks and drives like an ace now
(You walk like an ace now, you walk like an ace)
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
(You look like an ace now, you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You drive like an ace now, you drive like an ace)
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away

I love my car
I'll admit today I've gone too far
To enamour myself of my little motor car
I love my dog
I love my pussy cat, I love the rat
That lives under the floor and makes his bed from novelettes
I wish I could say the same for you
The day will come soon when I look in your eyes
But I won't see you
I've got a head like a soaking sponge
I've got a tongue like a little slug
I won't be bugged by trivia
I love my Carl
I love my Brian, my Dennis, and my Al
I could even find it in my heart to love Mike Love
I wish I could say the same for you
The day will come soon when I look in your eyes
To see you smiling
I wish I could say the same for you
The day will come soon when I look in your eyes
But I won't see you
Every night my dream’s the same
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don’t know why but I know I can’t stay
There’s a weight that’s pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can’t swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don’t know where
They don’t know when it’s coming, when it’s coming
There’s this fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak, yeah, oh
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don’t know where
They don’t know when, it’s coming
Oh when, but it’s coming, keep the car running
If some night I don’t come home
Please don’t think I’ve left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can’t climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
You can’t swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don’t know where
They don’t know when, it’s coming
Oh when, is it coming, keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln."
Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod
Race
When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace.
That story is true,
I'm here to say
I was drivin' that Model A.
It's got a Lincoln motor
And it's really souped up.
And that model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders; uses them all.
It's got overdrive, just won't stall.
With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust,
With 4.11 gears
You can really get lost.
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared.
The brakes are good, tires fair.
Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
The moon and the stars was shinin' bright.
We was drivin' up
Grapevine Hill
Passing CARS like they was standing still.
All of a
Sudden in a wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by.
I said, "Boys,
That's a mark for me!"
By then the taillight was all you could see.
Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind,
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind.
Took my foot off the gas and man alive,
I shoved it on down into overdrive.
Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten
My speedometer said that I hit top end.
My foot was blue, like lead to the floor.
That's all there is and there ain't no more.
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
The lines on the road just look like dots."
Took a corner; sideswiped a truck,
Crossed my fingers just for luck.
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts.
The guy beside me was white as a ghost.
Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac.
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass.
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas?
We had flames comin' from out of the side.
Feel the tension. Man! What a ride!
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by.
Now all of a sudden she started to knockin',
And down in the dips she started to rockin'.
I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin'
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln!
They arrested me and they put me in jail.
And called my pappy to throw my bail.
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot... Rod... Lincoln!"

Our DAY will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know
I love you so and you love me
Our day will come
If we just wait a while
No tears for us,
Think love and wear a smile
Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way,
Our day will come
If we just wait a while
Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way,
Our day will come
Will come

They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any DAY now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

That'll be the DAY, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
You give me all your lovin' and all your turtle dovin'
Your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me baby
Until you tell me, maybe that someday, well I'll be through
That'll be the day, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
When Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me and you told me boldly
That someday, well I'll be through
That'll be the day, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Less than 1 second before this was playing in my head. The word "Day" is NOT in the lyrics - ban me!
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
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
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
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out now

You're gonna give me everything
So why on Earth should I moan?

Hate to admit it but

It's slowin' down
I got it real bad
Want everything she has
That smile and that midnight laugh

You'd want me just as much

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

This is the place where all the junkies go
Where time gets fast but everything gets slow
Can I get some Vaseline? Step into a modern scene
Take a chance on that which seems to be the making of a dream
I don't wanna do it like my daddy did
I don't wanna give it to my baby's kid
"This is my calling," I said, darling
Shocking, appalling all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling," I said, darling
Shocking, appalling all I can do to you
This is the place where all the devils plead
Their case to take from you what they need
Can I isolate your gene? Can I kiss your dopamine?
In a way I wonder if she's living in a magazine
I don't wanna say it if it isn't so
I don't wanna weigh it, but I've gotta know
"This is my calling," I said, darling
Shocking, appalling all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling," I said, darling
Shocking, appalling all I can do to you
I saw you out there yesterday. What did you wanna say?
A perfect piece of DNA caught in a flashing ray
I caught you out there in the fray. What did you wanna say?
A masterpiece of DNA caught in a flashing ray
Can I smell your gasoline?
Can I pet your wolverine?
On the day my best friend died, I could not get my copper clean
I don't wanna take it up with little Joe
I don't wanna fake, it but I've gotta know
"This is my calling," I said, darling
Shocking, appalling all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling," I said, darling
Shocking, appalling all I can do to you
I am a misfit, I'm born with all of it
The fucking ultimate of love inside the atom split
I'm in a flash ray, a mash of DNA
Another popinjay who thinks he's got something to say
I've just found out and there's no doubt
I've been getting in the way
Well I held back, not to freak out
'Cause there was nothing to say
I could see how I got carried away
The only thing that keeps me scared
It's the only thing that keeps me there
It's just typical of me
And typical of her
When it's all day and it's all night
It's no surprise, we're in and out of grace
We're all mean and we all fight
For fear of losing face
I can see why it gets blown out of place
The only thing that keeps us down
It's the only thing that makes us sound
So painfully humble, so painfully proud
I'm one piece short of Legoland
It's all there
I'm one piece short of Legoland
