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!
She was a woman on a mission
Here to drown him and forget him
So I set her up again to wash him down
And she had just about succeeded
When that low down, no good cheatin'
Good for nothing, came struttin' through the crowd
Oh, he was layin' it on so thick
He never missed a lick
Professing his never ending love
Oh, but I never will forget
When she stood up and said
"So I guess you think we're just gonna kiss and make up don't ya?"
That's when she said
Why don't you kiss (kiss), hey, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
A-me and you (me and you)
A-we're through (we're through)
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes
And kiss a-this (kiss), a-goodbye
Well, the next thing I recall
She had him back against the wall
Chewin' him like a bulldog on a bone
She was puttin' him in his place
And I mean right up in his face
Draggin' him down a list of done me wrongs
Well, it was just about now
That the crowd gathered 'round
They've come to watch him pay for his every sin
She called him everything under the sun
And when we thought that she was done
She reared back and she let him have it again, man
She said, she said
Why don't you kiss (kiss), hey, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
And me and you (me and you)
A-we're through (we're through)
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes
And kiss a-this (kiss)
Hey, kiss this
And I don't mean on my rosy red lips
And me and you (me and you)
A-we're through (we're through)
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes
And kiss a-this (kiss), a-goodbye
Hey, kiss this, goodbye
See ya

When was the last time you KISSED me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
You never look at me and say "I love you"
How much more do you think I can stand
Oh, there's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord she's happy just holding my hand
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

Well she looked a peach in the dress she made
When she was still her mama's little girl
And when she walked down the aisle everybody smiled
At her innocence and curls
And when the preacher said is there anyone here
Got a reason why they shouldn't wed
I should have stuck up my hand
I should have got up to stand
And this is what I should have said
I want to KISS the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
Long before she met him
She was mine, mine, mine
Don't say I do
Say bye, bye, bye
And let me kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
Underneath her veil I could see a tear
Trickling down her pretty face
And when she slipped on the ring I knew everything
Would never be the same again
But if the groom would have known he'd have had a fit
About his wife and the things we did
And what I planned to say
Yeah on her wedding day
Well I thought it but I kept it hid
I want to kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
Long before she met him
She was mine, mine, mine
Don't say I do
Say bye, bye, bye
And let me kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
Long before she met him
She was mine, mine, mine
Don't say I do
Say bye, bye, bye
And let me kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah
I want to kiss the bride yeah

You never close your eyes anymore when I KISS your lips
There's no tenderness like before in you fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But, baby, baby, I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin', oh, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin', now it's gone, gone, gone
There's no tenderness in your eyes when I reach out for you
Girl, you're starting to criticize every little thing I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that lovin' feelin', oh, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin', now it's gone, gone, gone
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you (that's how much I love you)
(That's how much I love you, sweet baby)
If you would only love me like you used to do (that's how much I love you)
(That's how much I love you, sweet baby)
We had a love, love, a love you don't find every day
(Oh, no, you don't find it every day, now)
So don't, don't, don't, don't take it away
Listen to me talkin' to you
Bring back that lovin' feelin, oh, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin, now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
(You've lost that lovin' feelin', you've lost that lovin' feelin')
There are so many versions of this but I decided to post the original.

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover
'Till I talked to my daddy he say
He said, "You ain't seen nothing
'Till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can reminisce
'Cause the best thing lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little KISS, like this
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
With your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' "Hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
Of the swing" like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love is here to stay
When she told me to
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a KISS
School girl sweetie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor
With a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little KISS, like this
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
With your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' "Hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
Of the swing" like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
"Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way"
Just give me a KISS

All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could cry
So KISS me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
And I'm sailin', yeah
Yeah, oh yeah
Yeah... oh yeah
Hit me!
Shoulda been, coulda been, woulda been dead
If I didn't get the message goin' to my head
I am what I am
Most motherfuckers don't give a damn
Oh, baby, think you can
Be my girl, I'll be your man
Someone full of fun do me 'til I'm well done
Little Bo Peep cummin' from my stun gun
Beware, take care
Most motherfuckers have a cold ass stare
Oh, baby, please be there
Suck my kiss, cut me my share
Hit me, you can't hurt me, suck my kiss
Kiss me, please pervert me, stick with this
Is she talking dirty?
Give to me sweet sacred bliss, your mouth was made to suck my kiss
Look at me, can't you see, all I really want to be
Is free from a world that hurts me
I need relief
Do you want me, girl, to be your thief?
Oh, baby just for you
I'd steal anything that you want me to
K-i-s-s-i-n-g
Chicka chicka dee, do me like a banshee
Low brow is how
Swimming in the sound of bow wow wow
Oh, baby, do me now
Do me here I do allow
Hit me, you can't hurt me, suck my kiss
Kiss me, please pervert me, stick with this
Is she gonna curtsy?
Give to me sweet sacred bliss, that mouth was made to
Shoulda been, coulda been, woulda been dead
If I didn't get the message goin' to my head
I am what I am
Most motherfuckers don't give a damn
Oh, baby, think you can
Be my girl, I'll be your man
Someone full of fun do me 'til I'm well done
Little Bo Peep cummin' from my stun gun
Beware, take care
Most motherfuckers have a cold ass stare
Oh, baby, please be there
Suck my kiss, cut me my share
Hit me, you can't hurt me, suck my kiss
Kiss me, please pervert me, stick with this
Is she talking dirty?
Give to me sweet sacred bliss, that mouth was made to suck my kiss
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things, they don't seem the same
Acting funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me! Help me!
Ah no, no
Yeah! Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowing, blowing my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?
No, help me
No, yeah purple haze
Oh no, no
Oh, help me
Tell me, tell me
Can't go on like this
You make me blow my mind
No, no, no
No, no, purple haze

HAPPY ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a, happy ending
When boy meets girl and then
They never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me
Our love story gets me so upset
Like romeo, and juliet
I'm not smart enough to figure why
Some folks enjoy, a real good cry
Happy ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a, happy ending
When boy meets girl and then
They never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me
Never thought that i would stand a chance
That you'd give me, a second glance
But i think that you can play the part
And give a guy, a happy heart
Happy ending, happy ending
Give me a story with a, happy ending
When boy meets girl and then
They never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me
When boy meets girl and then, they never part again
But live forever happily, like you and me
Like you and me, like you and me
Like you and me
HAPPY Jack wasn't tall, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head in a hurry on Quay
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling HAPPY
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling HAPPY
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling HAPPY

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high on such a breakable thread (breakable thread)
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it (we lost it)
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say (know what they say)
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they (but so are they)
But they don't know me
Do they even know you? (even know you)
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do (all the shit that you do)
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it (we lost it)
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

We've had some fun
And yes we've had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road
But here we are still around
We thought about someone else
But neither one took the bait
You thought about breakin' up
Now we know it's much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
Yes, it's true
I am HAPPY to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true
Ah I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'Cause I can see
That you're happy to be stuck with me
We've had our doubts
We never took them seriously
And we've had our 'Ins and outs'
But that's the way, it's supposed to be
We thought about givin' up
But we could never stay away
Thought about breakin' up
But now we know it's much too late
And it's no great mystery
If we change our minds
Eventually
It's back to you and me
Yes, it's true
I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true
Ah I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'Cause I can see
That you're happy to be stuck with me
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
Yes, it's true
I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true
Ah I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'Cause I can see
That you're happy to be stuck with me
O I'm so happy to be stuck with you
I'm happy to be stuck with you
Happy to be stuck with you
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama HAPPY
Never blew a second chance, oh no
I need a love to keep me HAPPY
I need a love to keep me HAPPY
Baby, baby keep me HAPPY
Baby, baby keep me HAPPY
Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss ev'ry night and day
I need a love to keep me HAPPY
I need a love, baby won't ya keep me HAPPY
Baby, won't ya keep me HAPPY
Baby, please keep me
I need a love to keep me HAPPY
I need a love to keep me HAPPY
Baby, baby keep me HAPPY

Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Lear jets
When I can fly way back home
I need a love to keep me HAPPY
I need a love to keep me HAPPY
Baby, baby keep me HAPPY
Baby, baby keep me HAPPY
Baby
HAPPY, baby won't you keep me
HAPPY, baby won't you keep me

Feeling so frustrated
Even antiquated
'Cause you can't update me
If I'm overrated
So frustrated
So frustrated
You can't update this
You fly off the handle
Wait till I'm not there
If you will fly off the handle
Wait till I'm not there
'Cause I will talk
Maybe you will listen
But you won't hear a single word I say
I will talk
You will listen
We have a house where I'm in your hair
I'll go spare and leave you happy
In there
We have a house where I'm in your hair
I'll go spare and leave you happy (where?)
In there
You fly off the handle
Wait till I'm not there
If you will fly off the handle
Wait till I'm not there
'Cause I will talk
Maybe you will listen
But you won't hear a single word I say
I will talk
You will listen
I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said try just once more
I chose you for the one
Now I'm having so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very HAPPY
I'm so glad you came into my life
The others were untrue
But when it came to lovin' you
I'd spend my whole life with you
'Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it's at
You made me so very HAPPY
I'm so glad you came into my life
Thank you baby
Yeah yeah-yeah
I love you so much it seems
You're even in my dreams I can hear
Babe I can hear you calling me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever want to do is
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
You made me so very HAPPY
I'm so glad you came into my life
You made me so very HAPPY
You made me so so very HAPPY baby
I'm so glad you came... into my life
Mm-mmh

Every day of my life I wanna thank you
You made me so very HAPPY
I wanna spend my life thanking you
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
Thank you

MORNING has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight
Mine is the morning
Born of the One Light Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word
Got no diamond, got no pearl
Still I think I'm a lucky guy
I've got the sun in the MORNING and the moon at night
Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I've got
I've got the sun in the MORNING and the moon at night
Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way
Got no checkbooks, got no banks
Still I'd like to express my thanks
I've got the sun in the MORNING and the moon at night
And with the sun in the MORNING and the moon in the evening
I'm alright

Well, I woke up Sunday MORNING
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I'd smoked my brain the night before
On cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Cussin' at a can that he was kicking
Then I crossed the empty street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin'
That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way
On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
There ain't nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday mornin' comin' down
In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin' little girl who he was swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Listened to the song they were singin'
Then I headed back for home
And somewhere far away a lonesome bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
There ain't nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday mornin' comin' down
On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes your body feel alone
There ain't nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city sidewalks
Sunday mornin' comin' down

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
There's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears
Of the day
Of the years
Baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling

I received a message from my brother across the water
He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly
Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the MORNING
Meet me in the middle of the night
Ah yeah, the MORNING light is comin'
Don't it make you want to go and feel alright
I just jumped a train that never stops
So now somehow I'll know I never finished payin' for my ride
Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require
Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the MORNING
Want you meet me in the middle of the night
The MORNING light is comin'
Don't it make you want to go and feel alright
Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away
Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell
And ring loud and clear
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell
Tell the people they got to fly away from here
I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We are in the middle of a change in destination
When the train stops, all together we will smile
Oh, come on, come on now meet me in the MORNING
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night
Oh oh, yeah, everybody know the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you want to feel alright
Ah, ah, yeah, make me feel alright
Fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah
Fly now, baby
Oh, hey, hey
Yeah
Sunday MORNING, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday MORNING
Well I never want to leave
Yeah, fingers trace your every outline, oh yeah, yeah
Yeah, aint a picture with my hands, ohh!
And back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday MORNING
And I never want to leave
Yeah
Oh yeah
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do (life gets hard)
Sunday MORNING rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you, yeah (someday oh, someday oh)
Find a way to bring myself back home to you
You may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see (you are all I see)
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday MORNING, driving slow
Yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
And a flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's a beautiful MORNING, ah
I think I'll go outside for a while
And just smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
No sense in staying inside
If the weather's fine and you've got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day
Either way
It's a beautiful MORNING, ah
Each bird keeps singing his own song
So long
I've got to be on my way now
No fun just hanging around
I got to cover ground
You couldn't keep me down
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're still inside
Shouldn't hide
Still inside
Shouldn't hide
Still inside, shouldn't hide.
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh-ah-ah
Ooh-ah-ah
There will be children with robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour
Seems to me that people keep seeing more and more each day
Gotta say, lead the way
It's okay, brand new day
Gotta say, it's okay
Brand new day, gotta say, lead the way
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh-ah-ah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh-ah-ah
Oh...
Ooh-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about ev'rything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev'rything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new MORNING
The sun is shinin', it's a new morning
You're goin', you're goin' home

Oh you got it bella! Thank you(again)
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the MORNING to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill
When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of those birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill
When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin'bird Hill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the MORNING to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill

Woke up this MORNING feelin' fine
There's something special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(She danced with me like I hoped she would)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love?
(She's everything I've been dreamin' of)
She's everything I've been dreamin' of
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
(Something tells me I'm into something, ahhh)
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, something good, something good

Sometime in the MORNING
A simple thought may occur to you,
And you hold her,
And tell her all the things you never told her
Your love has shown me things
I never thought I could see
I didn't know (I didn't know)
It could be done so easily now I know (now I know)
You're where it is for me
Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside
And she'll touch you
And you'll realize how much you never knew before,
How much you couldn't see
You didn't know (you didn't know)
It could be done so easily now you know
She's all a girl could be
Now in her childlike eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise
Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there,
Close as the summer air
Sometime in the morning (she will be there) she will be there
Sometime in the morning (she will be there) she will be there

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the MORNIN
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair
When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms
The ache is there so deep inside me
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her face so softly
And then my Mary wakes to love and love again
And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care, 'cause right or wrong the love we share
We share together
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share
Sunday morning brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning and I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed not so long ago
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
In the morning I'd awake
And I couldn't remember
What is love and what is hate
The calculation's error
Oh, oh, oh
What is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter?
Is to love just a waste?
How can it matter?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
As the dawn began to break
I had to surrender
The universe will have its way
Too powerful to master
Oh, oh, oh
What is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter?
Is to love just a waste?
How can it matter?
Oh, oh, oh

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my BROTHER
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Now gather around folks
I heard you say
You wanted a pick me up
That wouldn't let you down
You lookin' for a cure
It's got to be sure
It's got to be pure
Got to relieve your sore bones
Your aching toes and your runny nose
You got to have the one and only
Genuine, superfly "Sunshine Sonny the Elixir"
Buy some, try some
And you know what folks
You're gonna buy some
Now I say it's true
Now it's up to you
Whatcha gonna do
"Sunshine Sonny the Elixir"
I'm gonna fix you up quick, sir
"Sunshine Sonny the Elixir"
It ain't nowhere we can't fix, sir
Best relief and it taste good too
You know what
The stuff is really good for you
Hot August night and the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Stands a raged tent, where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group, telling you and me
It's love, brother love
Say BROTHER loves traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
Cause everyone goes
Cause everyone knows, brother loves show
The room gets suddenly still and you could almost bet
You can hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal and when he lifts his face
Every eye in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow, like a small earthquake
And then he lets it go, the whole valley shakes
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah
[Spoken Word: Sonny]
Now step right up
And don't be shy
You can tell by my face
I'm a nice guy
How much does this cost, this stuff
Well lady what's in your purse
Is good enough

Hallelujah, hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah baby
Hallelujah

Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Oh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
He should know, he's been there enough
Oh I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh
Daniel my BROTHER you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Oh Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
And my life was so empty, there was nothing left to live for
But then it happened one night as I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying as though he was praying
Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help one day
We depend on one another
Love him that's the only way
On the road, on the road that we're going
We all need, we all need words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him that's the only way
I was a woman never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a BROTHER or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Oh, when you walk
Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's alright, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive (oh)
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive (oh)
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile
Friends did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me my dear friends
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold
You know that we're too damn poor
To keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my BROTHER coming
Riding a many mile
BROTHER, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my BROTHER
To keep me from the gallows pole?
BROTHER, I brought you some silver
I brought a little gold,
I brought a little of everythin
To keep you from the gallows pole
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile
I think I see my sister coming
Riding a many mile, mile, mile
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand
Take him to some shady bower
Save me from the wrath of this man
Please take him
Save me from the wrath of this man, man
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride
Ride for many mile, mile, mile
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She brought my blood to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, yeah
Your BROTHER brought me silver
Your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole, yeah
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole, pole, pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole, pole

If you see your BROTHER standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say, "You're going the wrong way"
You've got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
You got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
Hand over my face
I am related to my enemy
Our house on fire and big brother
Brother tried to put the blame on me
Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on
You use the flag as a bandage
Oh my big brother's a pocket hypocrisy
In the closet, my pleasures 'cause big brother
Brother don't wanna just let me be
Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on
Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
In my mind there's a clearing
Rose gardens open grey skies
Oh no one's hurting
And I'm joying
I'm flying, I'm flying
Oh, back to back to back, oh better back on
Back to back to back, back come on
Back to back to back to back to back, back
Hey now
Big brother, brother, brother
Hey now
Brother
Hey now
You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials, because
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox in four parts without commercial interruptions
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle
And leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams, and Spiro Agnew
To eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre
And will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because
The revolution will not be televised, brother
There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 on report from 29 districts
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still lifes of Roy Wilkins
Strolling through Watts in a red, black, and green liberation jumpsuit that he has been saving for just the proper occasion
Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damn relevant
And women will not care if Dick finally got down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow
Because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or Francis Scott Keys
Nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Engelbert Humperdinck, or The Rare Earth
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people
You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, the tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat
The revolution will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
The revolution will be no re-run, brothers
The revolution will be live

Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky
With some who say I've lost my mind
Brother try and hope to find
You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away like you used to do
Roses in a vase of wine
Bloodied by the thorns beside the leaves
That fall because my hand is pulling them hard as I can
You were always so far away
I know that pain
And I won't run away like I used to do
Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color taste
You were always so far away
I know the way
So don't you run away like you used to do
Like you used to do
Hey baby, what you know good
I'm just getting back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end?
When will people start getting together again?
Are things really getting better, like the newspaper said
What else is new my friend, besides what I read?
Can't find no work, can't find no job, my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man, I just don't understand
What's going on across this land
Ah, what's happening brother?
Yeah, what's happening? What's happening my man?
Are they still getting down
Where we used to go and dance
Will our ball club win the pennant
Do you think they have a chance?
And tell me friend, how in the world have you been?
Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in
What's the deal man
What's happening? What's happening brother?
What's happening brother?
Ah, what's happening brother?
What's happening my man?
Whoo, ah, ah, what's happening brother?
Say man, whoo, what's happening brother?
What's been shaking up and down the line?
I want to know, because I'm slightly behind the times
