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!

SPRING fever
Love is in the air
Spring is everywhere
A little bird, he told me so
He said, "Come on, get on the go
Open your eyes, the sky is full of butterflies"
The blossoms on the trees
Stir up the honey bees
Spring makes my fever right (spring fever)
Spring fever
Spring is here at last
Spring fever
My heart's beating fast
There is no doubt now
Love is in the air
Get up, get out
Spring is everywhere
Well, if you feel the wanderlust
Just grab a car or hop a bus
In every town, there's excitement to be found
So much is happening
Don't miss the joy of spring
The world's in love, just look around (spring fever)
Spring fever
It comes to everyone
Spring fever
It's time for fun
There is no doubt now
Love is in the air
Get up, get out
Spring is everywhere
Spring fever
It's spring fever time
Spring fever
Watch that fever climb
There is no doubt now
Love is in the air
Get up, get out
Spring is everywhere

When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothin', nothin' is goin' right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

And you know, wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
To see you again
Winter, SPRING, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud

And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come runnin', runnin', yeah, yeah
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will
You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
Oh, yeah, now, you've got a friend
Yeah baby, you've got a friend
Oh, yeah, you've got a friend

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in SPRING
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine

Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the SPRING
And SPRING became the summer
Who'd have believe you'd come along?
Hands
Touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touching me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you?
Warm
Touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would, oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Thanks sis

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
SPRING's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We′ve known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC′s
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye Papa it′s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I′ll be there.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone.
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time.

When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I SPRING a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I SPRING a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
She tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I SPRING a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I SPRING a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
And this living on the road is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I SPRING a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

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

Something in the way she moves
ATTRACTS me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around, now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon
Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The ATTRACTION was purely physical
I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsley prints
I put down to experience
The big bossed lady with the Dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance
You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
You're an essay in glamor
Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
I saw myself as a concealed ATTRACTION
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call

Baby seems we never
Ever agree
You like the movies
And I like TV
I take things serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night
Our friends are sayin'
We ain't gonna last
'Cause I move slowly
And baby I'm fast
I like it quiet
And I love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out
I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
Who would've thought
We could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers
She likes it neat
And he makes a mess
I take it easy
Baby I get obsessed
She's got the money
And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And I like to smoke
Things in common?
There just ain't a one
But when we get together
We have nothin' but fun
I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
Two steps forward
Two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
You know it, baby, baby
We come together
We come together
Baby, ain't it something how we lasted this long?
You and me proving everyone wrong
I don't think we'll ever get our differences patched
It don't really matter 'cause we perfectly matched
And I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
Two steps forward
Two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
'Cause opposites ATTRACT
Two steps forward
Two steps back
Two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites, opposites ATTRACT
It ain't fiction
You know it's a fact
We come together
'Cause opposites

Two steps forward

You took a mystery and made me want it
You got a pedestal and put me on it
You made me love you out of feeling nothing
Something that you do
Oh, and I was there, not dancing with anyone
You took a little, then you took me over
You set your mark on stealing my heart away
Crying, trying, anything for you
I'm in the middle of a chain REACTION (chain reaction)
You give me all the after-midnight action (don't pass me by)
I want to get you where I can let you make
All that love to me
I'm on a journey for the inspiration (inspiration)
To anywhere and there ain't no salvation (don't make me cry)
I need you to get me nearer to you
So you can set me free
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
You make me tremble when your hand moves lower (in love)
You taste a little then you swallow slower (in love, in love)
Nature has a way of yielding treasure
Pleasure made for you, oh
You gotta plan, your future is on the run
Shine a light for the whole world over
You never find your love if you hide away
Crying, dying, all you gotta do is
Get in the middle of a chain reaction (chain reaction)
You get a medal when you're lost in action (don't pass me by)
I want to get your love all ready (come love with me)
For the sweet sensation, instant radiation
You let me hold you for the first explosion (first explosion)
We get a picture of our love in motion (don't make me cry)
My arms will cover, my lips will smother you
With no more left to say
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
You let me hold you for the first explosion (chain reaction)
My arms will cover you
All you gotta do
(You get in the middle of a chain reaction) a chain reaction
(You get a medal when you're lost in action) don't pass me by
(I want to get your love all ready) said, love with me
(For the sweet sensation, instant radiation) oh, oh
(You let me hold you for the first explosion) the first explosion
(We get a picture of our love in motion) your crazy love
(My arms will cover, my lips will smother you)
(With no more left to say) all you gotta do
(Get in the middle of a chain reaction) a chain reaction
(You get a medal when you're lost in action) don't pass me by
(I want to get your love so ready) come love with me
(For the sweet sensation, instant radiation) oh, oh
(You let me hold you for the first explosion) the first explosion
(We get a picture of our love in motion)

Tell me lawyer what to do
I think I'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life, mm
I'm sure that we can make a deal (yeah)
I confess I'm a fool for men
With a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match
For this heart of mine (for this heart of mine)
All I want is a little REACTION
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
Your sense of justice I'll embrace
But your defense don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer, gotta catch me when I fall
Oh, they say that you match your wits
With the best of them
But I know when I'm close you're just
Like the rest of them (like the rest of them)
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in
Open up your heart and let me in
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
Ooh, a little reaction
I'm just using my female charm
On a typical male, on a typical male
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical
All I want, ooh, a little reaction
Just enough
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm drivin' in my car
And the man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to drive my imagination
I can't get no, oh no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm watchin' 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 say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl REACTION
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm ridin' 'round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells 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, that's what I say
I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction
I can't get no

Burn it
To my surprise
One hundred stories high
People gettin' loose now
Gettin' down on the roof
I tell you
Folks screamin'
Out of control
It was so entertainin'
When the boogie start to explode
I heard somebody say
Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn)
Burn that mother down now
(Burn, baby, burn)
Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn)
And burn that mother down
(Burn it)
Satisfaction came in a chain REACTION
I tell you (burn it)
I couldn't get enough
So I had to self-destruct
I tell you (du-du-du)
The heat was on
(Burn it) risin' to the top
And everybody is goin' strong (du-du-du)
That is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn)
Burn that mother down now
(Burn, baby, burn)
Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn)
Burn that mother down
Up above my head
I hear music in the air (I hear music)
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough
So I had to self-destruct
I tell you, heat was on
Risin' to the top
And everybody is goin' strong
That is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn)
Burn that mother down, y'all
(Burn, baby, burn) Woo!
Disco inferno

Say burn that mother down
Oh!

That's when my spark gets hot
Oh!
I just can't stop
When the spark gets hot

Just can't stop
When the spark gets hot
Oh!

Oh!
When the spark gets hot
Just can't stop
Just can't stop
When the spark's gone hot
When the spark gets hot
Oh!
Just can't stop

Lashing out the action, returning the REACTION
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Battery
Battery
John Farnham
One shot in a revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small and bitter
One tree too proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One kid that needs some action
One link in a chain reaction
I've got a fever, a fever in my soul
No I don't want to die before I get old
It took some time just to bring me here
Nobody's gonna put me down
Do I make myself clear?
One shot in a revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small and bitter
One tree too proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One kid that needs some action
One link in a chain reaction
I have got trouble, trouble in my life
And I've been living on the edge of a knife
But I don't intend to let you down
I'm gonna give you love
Before I hit the ground
One cruel and callous lover
One blow below the belt
One chance without another
One heart too cool to melt
One link in a chain reaction
One link in a chain reaction
One shot in a revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small and bitter
One tree too proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One link in a chain reaction
One link in a chain reaction
One shot in a revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small and bitter
One tree too proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One link in a chain reaction
One link in a chain reaction

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
KILLING me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
KILLING me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
KILLING me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
KILLING me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
KILLING me softly with his song
KILLING me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
KILLING me (softly)
He was strumming my pain
Yeah, he was singing my life
KILLING me softly with his song
KILLING me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
KILLING me softly
With his song

Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you KILL, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun
In case of accidents, he always took his mum
He's the all American bullet-headed Saxon mother's son
All the children sing
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise
So Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes
All the children sing
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
The children asked him if to kill was not a sin
"Not when he looked so fierce", his mummy butted in
"If looks could kill, it would have been us instead of him"
All the children sing
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just KILLED a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
No, we will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (never, never, never, never let me go)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Ooh
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long, oh
I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will KILL you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster 'cause you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
Mmm, how would it be if you were standing in my shoes?
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No, there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Oh-oh, yeah
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you every time
Yeah-yeah, too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end
In the end
She keeps her Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake, " she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a KILLER Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a KILLER Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you
She's a KILLER Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
Therefore I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway (on Broadway)
They say there's always magic in the air (on Broadway)
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere (on Broadway)
They say the girls are something else on Broadway (on Broadway)
But looking at them just gives me the blues (on Broadway)
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one THIN dime?
And one THIN dime won't even shine your shoes (on Broadway)
Ha! They say that I won't last too long on Broadway (on Broadway)
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say (on Broadway)
But oh! They're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway (on Broadway)
Oh, they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway (on Broadway)
On Broadway (on Broadway)
I'm gonna make it, yeah (on Broadway)
I'll be a big, big, big man (on Broadway)
I'll have my name in lights (on Broadway)
Everybody, everybody's gonna know me, yes (on Broadway)
All up and down Broadway (on Broadway)
Ohhhhh yeah! (on Broadway)
Lean baby - frank Sinatra
only registered users can see external links
My lean baby, tall and THIN
Five feet seven of bones and skin
But when she tells me maybe she loves me
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be
She's so skinny, she's so drawn
When she stands sideways, you'd think she's gone
But when she calls me baby, I feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine
She's slender, but she's tender
She makes my heart surrender
And every night, when I hold her tight
The feeling is nice, my arms can go around twice
My lean baby, she's so slim
A broomstick's wider, but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me, then I know
I love her so, I'll never, ever let her go, no
My lean baby, strange to see
And all that nothing, it belongs to me
And though she may be scrawny, she's okay
Because I wouldn't want her any other way
Man, she's so skinny, she's so drawn
When she stands sideways, you would think that she's gone
But when she calls me baby, I feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine
I chased her and I caught her
Then a diamond ring, I bought her
Hey, the diamonds shine, the ring is so fine
But here is the twist, she wears it right on her wrist
My lean baby, she's so slim
A broomstick's wider, but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me, then I know
I love her so, I'll never, ever let her go
My lean baby, tall and thin
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Some fellas look at the eyes
Some fellas look at the nose
Some fellas look at the size
Some fellas look at the clothes
I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if she's underfed
I don't care if her clothes are worn
First I look at the purse!
Some fellas like the smiles they wear
Some fellas like the legs that's all
Some fellas like the style of their hair
Want their waist to be small.
I don't care if their legs are THIN
I don't care if their teeth are big
I don't care if their hair's a wig
Why waste time lookin' at the waistline?
First I look at the purse!
A woman can be fat as can be,
kisses sweet as honey
But that don't mean a thing to me
If you ain't got no money
If the purse is fat....that's where it's at.
Some fellas like the way they walk
The way they swing and sway
Some fellas like the way they talk
Dig the things they say.
I don't care if they wobble like a...
or talk with a lisp
I still think I'm a good lover
if the dollar bills are crisp
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
I don't care if you got yourself a wrap
all I want is your pretty green cash
Bought me a suit, bought me a car
Want me to look like a hollywood star
Money, (Money!) I want money (Money!)
Baby, ain't no "why", baby (Money!)
I need money!
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate
It's five o'clock in the morning
And you're just getting in
You knock on the door
And a voice sweet and low says who is it
She opens up the door and lets you in
Never once asks where have you been
She says are you hungry?
Did you eat yet?
Let me hang up your coat
Pass me your hat
All the time she's smiling
Never once raises her voice
It's five o'clock in the morning
You don't give it a second thought
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate
The sweetest woman in the world
Could be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her that way
You keep hurting her
She'll keep being quiet
She might be holding something inside
That'll really, really hurt you one day
I see you're in the hospital
Bandaged from foot to head
In a state of shock
Just that much from being dead
You couldn't believe the girl
Would do something like this, ha
You didn't think the girl had the nerve
But here you are
I guess action speaks louder than words
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate
It's a THIN line between love and hate

Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin' hard
Boy, you've got to think
What your priorities are really all about
It's such a crazy world, we're on the brink
There'll be no turning back once we've set out
So much left to do and so little time
Just read the news to see today's headlines
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin' hard
Boy, I found a way
To raise the level of my self esteem
When I was just a girl, I learned how to say
I will be proud I see a me that will always achieve
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin'
When you want someone, I'll be there for you
And when you need someone, I'm dependable
When your world is falling apart, you can lean on me
And nothing will come between our hearts for all eternity
One idea can last forever
And it's the only way that I can prove it
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start

Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove

Six foot six stood on the ground, weighted 235 pounds
But I saw that GIANT of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of man who would gamble on love
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
Like the rules that govern our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of every man, this thing calledlove
It can lift you up, it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love
Men like me they worry and doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy a livin' to worry about a thing called love
And then I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I say thank God this world will win with the thing calledlove
A man has dreams - David Tomlinson (From Mary Poppins')

[MR. BANKS, spoken]
A man has dreams of walking with GIANTS, to carve his niche in the edifice of time.
(sung)
Before the mortar of his zeal
Has a chance to congeal
(spoken)
The cup is dashed from his lips, the flame is snuffed aborning. He's brought to wreck and ruin in his prime.
[BERT, spoken]
Life is a rum go, Guv'nor, and that's the truth
[MR. BANKS, spoken]
Do you know what I think? It's that woman Mary Poppins! From the moment she stepped into the house, things began to happen to me!
[BERT, spoken]
Mary Poppins?
[MR. BANKS, spoken]
Yes, yes, of course!
(sung)
My world was calm, well-ordered, exemplary
Then came this person, with chaos in her wake
And now my life's ambitions go with one fell blow
It's quite a bitter pill to take
(spoken)
It's that Poppins woman! She did it!
[BERT, spoken]
I know the very person you mean. Mary Poppins, she's the one wot sings:
(sung)
A spoonful of sugar, that is all it takes
It changes bread and water into tea and cakes
[MR. BANKS, spoken]
See that's exactly what I mean! Changing bread and water into tea and cakes indeed! No wonder everything's higgledy-piggledy here!
[BERT]
A spoonful of sugar goes a long, long way
'Ave yourself a 'ealthy 'elpin ev'ry day
(spoken)
An 'ealthy 'elping of trouble if you ask me!
[MR. BANKS, spoken]
You know what she did? I realize it now! She tricked me into taking Jane and Michael to the bank. That's how all the trouble started!
[BERT, spoken]
Tricked you into taking the children on an outing?
[MR. BANKS, spoken]
Yes.
[BERT, spoken]
"Outrageous!" A man with all the important things you have to do. "Shameful!"
(sung)
You're a man of 'igh position, esteemed by your peers
And when your little tykes are cryin', you 'aven't time to dry their tears
And see them grateful little faces smilin' up at you
Because their dad, 'e always knows just what to do
(spoken)
Like you say, Guv'nor...
(sung)
You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone
Though child'ood slips like sand through a sieve
And all too soon they've up and grown
And then they've flown
And it's too late for you to give
Just that spoonful of sugar to 'elp the medicine go down
The medicine go down, medicine go down
(spoken)
Welp, goodbye Guv'nor. Sorry to trouble you.

Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time you felt like you did then.
There's just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again at last.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.
You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you there's no relieve
But I swear I'll prove you wrong.
Don't stay in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom.
That's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.
Summer night city- ABBA
only registered users can see external links
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
In the sun, I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free, ah-ah
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that GIANT dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
It's elusive call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere, ah-ah
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that GIANT dynamo
And tomorrow, when it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on a beach
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
