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!
My guess is that you are a music fan and I welcome you to check this thread daily for the specific word for that day. The word chosen for September 2, was QUICK, or any conjugation of the chosen word. In the case of QUICK, a song with the word QUICK, QUICKLY or QUICKER, etc, would be acceptable. I really enjoy music and love seeing what posts will be made by other members who contribute. The only thing I ask is that playing members attach their post to that specific day so that their contribution isn't floating around by itself allowing it to get lost in the sauce.
Sadly, the two members that I cited above, at the top and in the description of this thread, Whoknows and Huxley999 are no longer members. 😢 But as you can see, with over 16,000 posts, the thread remains quite popular
In several hours, Andthisisme will post the word for September 3, so c'mon back to see what it is and if you are able to think of a song, I welcome you to copy and paste the words and provide a YouTube link to the music video. In my opinion, this is heaps of fun and in most cases, there's no ridicule here!

SOME girls like to run around, like to handle everything they see
But my girl has more fun around and you know she'd rather be with me

Tell you why you'll understand
She don't fly although she can
Some boys like to run around, they don't think about the things they do

Me-oh my lucky guy is what I am

Some girls like to run around, like to handle everything they see
But my girl has more fun around and ya know she'd rather be with
Yeah she'd rather be with, you know she'd rather be with me
You know she'd rather be with me...
I give to this world 'till I've got nothing to give to
I give thanks to this world for the life that I've lived through
Stress gets in the way of the shit that we're doing
We'll bum rush the door if you don't let the whole crew in
I want some
Give me the chance and I will show you what I'm feeling
My mind's caught up in the shit the man's dealing
looking ahead the next level we're gonna take it to
I guess I should be happy it's a day that we made it through
I want some
I am tireless, sub zero, comin' from the wireless
Won't be no scenery, no part of the machinery
I go on and on, but never below
So now you see me and know
You can check it and go
'Cause I'm so bored
That I can't even pretend no more
It's so pathetic that I'm rolling around on the floor
Laughing at one big gag
And every now and then they pull another rabbit out of the bag
Of sad diversions, useless tedious excursions
Roll into unrealistic, crypto-fascistic
Comedy doctrine, kick the ballistics
Again and again and again, just say when
Ya had enough, sad enough or mad enough
To do something simple and kind
Now is the time
A change of state of mind
I am a loner, a zoner. I utilize the microphone
And if they try a tap I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone
They're wasted, so wasted, so
They're waiting for the visitors so they can go and try again
On the next step, on the next one
Come on and get some, jet some, static, solid-state, automatic
Sporadic and random - 'cause nobody planned 'em
Anarchy, free thought can't be bought
So disregard the lessons and the shit you've been taught
I'm saying it and now they're playing it to me
Larger than life every day and this is what they say:
Shut your mouth and get back in line
And if you don't like it -
Well it suits us just fine
We pull the levers
We hold the strings
And these are just a few of our favourite things
Learn the words of the company song
"White is right is right is strong"
Come on children all sing along
'Cause if you think you can change
You were never more wrong
No fuck that - you won't take me
You won't break me and you'll never make me
Step in line or step march in time
Well you can violate my body but my soul is still mine
You must think that I'm fucking stupid, man
If you think I'm gonna hang with the program
Some fool schedule
I don't give a shit about
What is or what isn't cool
I make the rules, I stand alone
And if they try a tap I leave 'em hangin' on the telephone
One of these days I'm gonna get sectioned
I bet they even say it's for my own protection
Rejection leads straight to correction
Look out, here comes a strange injection
They've got a drug to numb my erection
But they won't take this from me:
My state of mind
Coochie coochie ahh
Coochie coochie ahh
Ah baby, give me
(Give me)
Give me some of that good old love sugar, sugar
(Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme)

GUESS there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you
Can't get used to losin' you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Loving you
Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day
Can't get used to losin' you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Loving you
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'Cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a hopeless case
Can't get used to losin' you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Loving you
I can't get used to losin' you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Loving you
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I can honestly say
That things will only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide
And I GUESS that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I GUESS that's why they call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man, Mary Mary
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
And I GUESS that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands should be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I GUESS that's why they call it the blues
Wait on me boy (Wait on me girl)
I Want You To Cry in the night if it helps (yeah)
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
And I GUESS that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands (time on my hands) should be time spent with you
Laughing like children (laughing like children), living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I GUESS that's why they call it the blues
Laughing like children
Living like lovers Elton, living like lovers
And I GUESS that's why they call it the blues

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole million man's soul an faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you GUESS my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you GUESS my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you GUESSed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you GUESSed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politnesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you GUESSed my name, mm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Aah yeah
Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can ya GUESS my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?

I keep lookin' for a place to fit in
Where I can speak my mind
And I've been tryin' hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind
They say I got brains, but they ain't doin' me no good
I wish they could
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got somethin' good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong?
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out?
What's it all about?
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got somethin' good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong?
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
I GUESS I just wasn't made for these times

Oh you gonna take me home tonight
Oh down beside that red fire light
Oh you gonna let it all hang out
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Hey big woman, you made a bad boy out of me
I've been singing with my band
Across the water, across the land
I've seen every blue eyed floozy on the way
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them naughty ladies every time
Oh, won't you take me home tonight
Oh, down beside your red fire light
Oh, and you give it all you got
Fat-BOTTOMED girls you make the rocking world go round
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Now I got mortgages and homes
I got stiffness in the bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality
But I still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure
Hey big woman you gonna make a big man out of me
Oh, you gonna take me home tonight
Oh, down beside that red fire light
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Get on your bikes and ride
Bell BOTTOM blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
It's all wrong, but it's all right
The way that you treat me baby
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
You won't find a better loser
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it 'cause
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
Bell BOTTOM blues, don't say goodbye
I'm sure we're gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it 'cause
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay

This is the dinner prepared
This is the dress that I made
This is the child I brought up
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid
This is the perfume I wore
This is the hotel we stayed
This is the way that I lay
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid
We promise ourselves this is no one-night stand
Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band
And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand we pretend
There's a tear, there's a tear
Not through confusion through fear,
Through fear
This is the smile that I wore
This is the song that we played
This is the way that I lay
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid
Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret
A kiss and goodbye and a long cigarette
But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet
Can't pretend
It's a tear, it's a tear
Not through confusion, through fear, through fear
And knowing at least that love came so near
Just adds to the weight of this bell BOTTOMED tear
Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone
Root out the photos you've already shown
Cos this is one night you won't sleep alone
Just one night
There's a tear there's a tear
Not through confusion through fear, through fear
And knowing at least that love came so near
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear
There's a tear, there's a tear
Not through confusion, through fear
Not through confusion, through fear

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact, here's just another ordinary day
No April rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the BOTTOM of my heart
No summer's high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun, no Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old, so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart
Of my heart (baby, of my heart)

My compassion is broken now
My will is eroded now
And my desire is broken now
And it makes me feel ugly
I'm on my knees and burning
My piss and moans are the fuel that set my head on fire
So smell my soul burning
I'm broken, looking up to see the enemy
And I have swallowed the poison you feed me
But I survive on the poisons you feed me
And leavin' guilt fed, hatred fed, weakness fed
And it makes me feel ugly
I'm on my knees and burning
My piss and moans are the fuel that set my head on fire
I'm dead
Inside
Shit adds up
Shit adds up
Shit adds up
Shit adds up at the bottom
Dead inside, dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside
Nameless now, shameless now
Nothing now, no one now
Shit adds up
Shit adds up

Shit adds up
An you see me naked now
Fearless now, naked now
Fearless now
Shit adds up
Shit adds up
Shit adds up
Shit adds up
It leaves me dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside, dead inside
Hatred keeps me alive
Lowliness keeps me alive
Weakness keeps me alive
Guilt keeps me alive at the bottom
When I get to the BOTTOM
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
'Til I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ha-ha-ha!
Well do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer
Now, helter-skelter
Helter-skelter

Ooh!

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the TOP of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
There's nothing you could say
To tear me away from my guy
There's nothing you could do
'Cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm stickin' to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like the birds of a feather
We stick together
I'm telling you from the start
I can't be torn apart from my guy
There's nothing you can do
Could make me untrue to my guy (my guy)
There's nothing you could buy
Could make me tell a lie to my guy (my guy)
I gave my guy my word of honor
To be faithful and I'm gonna
You best be believing
I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's TOPS
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
And no muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy (my guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy (my guy)
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to bein' happy we are
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
And no muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy (my guy)
And no handsome face could ever take the place of my guy (my guy)
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to bein' happy we are
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
There's not a man today

Start spreading the news,
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
And step a round of heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in that city, that doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
TOP of the heap
My little town blues,
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there,
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York
I wanna wake up, in the city that doesn't sleep,
To find I'm king of the hill, head of the list
Cream of the crop at the top of the heap
My little town blues are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it, in old New York
If I can make it there, I'd make it anywhere
Come on, come through New York, New York

That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on TOP, back on top in June
I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
My, my!

… And every time I get to thinkin'
With every thought of you, I wanna shout aloud
And then I think about the love I had inside me
How you brought what's inside out
… So now love's made it to the outside
I wanna tell the world of everything I've found
Somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me
You've turned my living upside-down
… And I can't tell the bottom from the TOP
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
… Tell me where you learned the magic
The spell you used the day you made me fall
Baby, now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall
… And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
… On and on I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
You filled my life with love and much more besides
And you showed me which way to go
… And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
… And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
One summer day, she went away;
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on TOP of the world.
All the summer, worked all this fall.
Had to take Christmas in my overalls.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on TOP of the world.
Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.
Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.
She's gone, but I don't worry:
I'm sitting on TOP of the world.

You gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
Cause if you believe that our love can hit the TOP
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up
You gotta turn it on
And then you gotta put it out
You gotta be sure that it's something
Everybody's gonna talk about
Before you decide that the time's arrived
For making your mind up
Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind
And now you really gotta burn it up
And make another fly by night
Get a run for your money
And take a chance and it'll turn out right
But when you can see how it's gotta be
You're making your mind up
And try to look as if you don't care less
But if you wanna see some more
Bending the rules of the game
Will let you find the one you're looking for
And then you can show that you think you know
You're making your mind up
Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind
And now you really gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up
And now you really gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken-boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you, folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the TOP if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the TOP if you wanna rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Ladies do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Underpaid
Gettin' sold
Second hand

Playin' in a band
It's a long way to the TOP if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the TOP if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the TOP if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it, like, oh my god
Jump off that sofa, let's kick it off
I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out, spaced out and losing all control
Fill up my cup, mazel tov
Look at her dancing, just take it off
Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof, and then we'll do it again

We should be heading for the top now
We've had a hundred thousand years
We should've found a little heaven in our soul
That could've washed away the tears
Instead we're wasted all the time
And there's a thousand ways to cry
And in our haste to get a little more from life
We didn't notice that we'd died
And we'll be losin' all the time
We'll be choking back the tears
And we'll be seein' only white light in our mind
And it's been blinding us for years
She got a rhythm in her soul
She got a rainbow in her eye
She gotta little bit of hurtin' deep inside
And it's a hurt you're gonna try
And I've been shooting up my time
I've been holdin' down the fear
We should be headin' for the top now, little child
But I've been rotting here for years
And we'll be calling in the dark
I'll be holding back the shame
We should be headin' for the top now, little child
But she'll be dancing on your grave
And I'll be calling for a god
I'll be calling out for more
And I've been given all the riches in my heart
That she'll be selling at the door
She got a heavy-duty soul
She got a twinkle in her eye
And she's polluting all the airwaves with her song
And it's a song I'm gonna buy
And then she comes into my room
She caught me messin' on the floor
She got a little bit of heaven in her soul
That got me crawlin' back for more
She got a rumour in her heart
She got a twinkle in her eye
She got a little bit of hurtin' deep inside
And it's a hurt I'm gonna try
But her ambition's such a drag
She made a coffin for my dreams
And now I'm losing all I had now
To stay alive by any means
And I'm forgettin' all the time
I should've photographed my mind
She got a little bit of heaven deep inside
And it's a heaven I should find
And there's a stagger in our walk
There's a stutter in our name
And you'll be seeing only white light in your mind
And there'll be nothing more to gain
We should be headin' for the top now
We've had a hundred thousand years
Instead we're losing all we got now
To cry a hundred thousand tears
We should be heading for the top now
But we'll be crawling on the floor
Instead we're losing all we got now
To cry a hundred thousand more
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your future go?
Backstreet dealin', midnight stealin'
Oh, does your mother know?
Sadie, Sadie, quite the lady
How does your fortune grow?
Fixin', hustlin', pimpin', cussin'
Don't let the damage show
Lookin' at the devil, grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin', I begin to run
Bullets start chasin', I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle, I was on the TOP
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Stiff all in the collar, fluffy in the face
Chit chat chatter tryin', stuffy in the place
Thank you for the party but I could never stay
Many things is on my mind, words in the way
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Dance to the music
All night long
Everyday people
Sing a simple song
Mama's so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa still singin'
We can make it if we try
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
(Different strokes for different folks, yeah)
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Flamin' eyes of people fear, burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do
Youth and truth are makin' love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take
Sellin' out is harder
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Johnny has a yo yo - Ruth Wallis
only registered users can see external links
Johnnie's got a yo-yo
He got it from his dad.
He always lets me PLAY with it
It's the best toy I ever had.
He never lends it out to any other kid in town
Cause I'm the only one who knows how to get it up
and down.
(I'm older than the other kids and I have been around...)
Johnnie's got a yo-yo
It really is a wow
Teacher keeps him after school
So he can show her how.
It's shiny and he says it is brand new-ew
And he can do more tricks with it than his dad can
do-oo.
You can't learn to play with it just by wishin',
You gotta know how to hold it in the right position
By intuition...
Johnnie's got a yo-yo
And all the kids they say
If his dad finds out I play with it
There'll be hell to pay.
Jacks and immies don't int'rest me
Any longer, I confess
Since I play with Johnnie's yo-yo
I'm spoiled a bit, I guess.
I'm sure I could be happy
And life would be divine
If i knew that Johnnie's yo-yo
Were mine, all mine.
I told him I would buy it no matter what the cost
But Johnnie says without his yo-yo he'd be lost
(And I believe it!)
Y is for Yesterday I had it
O is for the way I feel today
Y is for youth, forever at it
O means only that it's here to stay
Y stands for 'oh Yer fadder's mustache
O means only that here comes the end.
Put them all together, they spell YO-YO
Believe me, that toy's a boy's best friend.

Mmm
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
La-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
Whoa, the games people PLAY now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
And never sayin' what they mean
While they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Whoa-ah
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
Whoa, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame
Whoa-ah
But neither one ever will give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
Whoa-ah
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
C'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Whoa oh oh oh oh ah
Now, look here
People walkin' up to you
Singin' glory hallelujah
And they try to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And furthermore, to hell with hate
Come on get on board
Whoa-ah
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Now, wait a minute
Look around, tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me?
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am
Whoa-ah
Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turned your back on humanity
Oh, and you don't give a
Da, da, da, da, da
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
I keep a-talkin' 'bout you and me, brother
And the games people play now, now
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Oh, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
Oh, and the games people play
I wonder can you come out and play
Oh, early in the mornin'
Oh, yes
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son can you PLAY me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us the song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say man what are you doin' here?
Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum
Sing us the song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding ring
I've PLAYED a ace and I won the queen
I walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked, I stacked the cards, I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
You made me king of your heart
Oh for just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Oh but just in time I saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding, wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
You made me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Oh but just in time I saw, I saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding, wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
You made me king of your heart

Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at PLAY
With the little boy next door like so many times before
But something didn't seem quite right today
So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim
'Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him.
I don't wanna play house; I know it can't be fun
I've watched mommy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house; It makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said good-bye.
I don't wanna play house; I know it can't be fun
I've watched mommy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house; It makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said good-bye.

Hey, Carrie Anne
Hey, Carrie Anne
When we were at school, our games were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody PLAY?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
You're so, so like a woman to me
(So like a woman to me)
So, so like a woman to me
(Like a woman to me)
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could PLAY
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
He's in the army now, a blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam
It really brought him down because he couldn't jam
The captain seemed to understand
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band
And now the company jumps when he PLAYS reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
A toot, a toot, a toot diddelyada toot
He blows it eight to the bar, in boogie rhythm
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with 'I'm
He makes the company jump when he PLAYS reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
He was our boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
And when he PLAYS boogie woogie bugle he was buzy as a bzzz bee
And when he PLAYS he makes the company jump eight to the bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
Toot toot toot, toot diddelyada, toot diddelyada
Toot, toot, he blows it eight to the bar
He can't blow a note if the bass and guitar isn't with 'I'm
A a a and the company jumps when he PLAYS reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
He puts the boys asleep with boogie every night
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
Because they know how he PLAYS when someone gives him a beat
He really breaks it up when he PLAYS reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
Da doo da da doo da da da
Da doo da da doo da da da
Da doo da da doo da da da
Da doo da da doo da da
A a a and the company jumps when he PLAYS reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Well you've got your diamonds
And you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't PLAY with me
'Cause you're PLAYING with fire
Your mother she's an heiress
Owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't PLAY with me
'Cause you're PLAYING with fire
Your old man took her diamond's
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't you PLAY with me
'Cause you're PLAYING with fire
Now you've got some diamonds
And you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step girl
Or start living with your mother
So don't you PLAY with me
'Cause you're PLAYING with fire
So don't you PLAY with me
'Cause you're PLAYING with fire

Oh ho they’re PLAYING my song
Oh yeah they’re playing my song
And when they’re playing my song
Every body’s got to
Sh Sh Sh
The magic of words is weaving it’s spell ‘round this room
Nobody’s dancin’ they’re all too entranced in
Just listening to the perfect way my words fit that tune
Right now they’re listening to me
My lyric reads like a poem
It surely stands on it’s own
It makes me proud to hear that music
It’s the total expression of me
To be more specific this place is terrific
As long as they’re playin’ my song
Who would have known
That two years ago when Leon asked
‘Can’t lovin’ be fun?’
Who would have known
Can’t Lovin’ Be Fun
Would be sung by everybody under the sun
You know it made the top ten
All good things come to an end
I wish they’d play it again and again
They keep on playin’
Oh God I’m prayin’
They’ll keep playing my song
Oh ho they’re playing my song
VERNON
Oh yeah they’re playing your song
SONIA
I wish they’d play it again and again
They keep on playin’
Oh God I’m prayin’
They’ll keep playing my song
This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin' proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
Said it was blue, when ya blood was red
That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head, blasted through ya head
I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized
So serene on the screen, you was mesmerized
Cellular phones, soundin' a death tone
Corporations cold turn ya to stone before ya realize
They load the clip in, omnicolor
Said they pack the nine, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mothafuckas lost their minds
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?" Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"
Run it
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?" Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"
Checka, checka, check it out
They load the clip in, omnicolor
Said they pack the nine, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mothafuckas lost their minds
No escape from the mass mind ****
Play it again, Jack, and then rewind the tape
And then play it again, and again, and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya
Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya
They say jump and ya say "how high?"
Ya braindead, ya got a fuckin' bullet in ya head
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?" Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"
Ugh
Yeah
Yeah
Fuck
Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya got a bullet in ya head
Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya got a bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in the head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
Ya got a bullet in ya fuckin' head
Yeah! Yeah!
Darkest of night with the moon shining bright
There's a set goin' strong; lotta things goin' on
The man of the hour has an air of great power
The dudes have envied him for so long
Oooh, Super Fly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is do or die
Ah-ha-ha
Hard to understand what a hell of a man
This cat of the slum had a mind, wasn't dumb
But a weakness was shown cause his hustle was wrong
His mind was his own but the man lived alone
Oooh, Super Fly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is do or die
Ah-ha-ha
The game he plays, he plays for keeps
Hustlin' times and ghetto streets
Tryin' to get over
That's what he tryin' to do, y'all
Taking all that he can take
**** with the odds of fate
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Woo, Super Fly, huh, huh
The aim of his role was to move a lot of blow
Ask him his dream: what does it mean? He wouldn't know
"Can't be like the rest" is the most he'll confess
But the time's running out and there's no happiness
Oooh, Super Fly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is do or die
Ah-ha-ha
Super Fly
Super Fly
Super Fly
Super Fly
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's PLAYING all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'Cause she's PLAYING all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in
And out and in and out and in and out
She's PLAYING all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out
And in and out and in and out
'Cause she's PLAYING all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
