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!

You can shine your shoes and wear a suit
You can comb your hair and look quite cute
You can hide your face behind a smile
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
You can wear a mask and paint your face
You can call yourself the human race
You can wear a collar and a TIE
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
Well now, you know
That your cat has nine lives, babe
Nine lives to itself
You only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun
Momma, take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
Take it, brother
Well now, you know
That your cat has nine lives, babe
Nine lives to itself
But you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun
Momma, take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn
Judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled

I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me
TIE a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison, and my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please:
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree
I'm comin' home
I've been run down
I've been lied to
I don't know why,
I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money
Wrecks my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies
They're drinkin' in some cross town bar
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been TIED
To the whipping post
TIED to the whipping post
TIED to the whipping post
Good lord I feel like I'm dyin'
My friends tell me
That I've been such a fool
And I have to stand down and take it babe,
All for lovin' you
I drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you've done
Nothin' seems to change
Bad times stay the same
And I can't run
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been TIED
To the whipping post
TIED to the whipping post
TIED to the whipping post
Good lord I feel like I'm dyin'
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been TIED

I never thought that I'd
Cut a record by myself
But I've got something I wanna say
I wanna say it for Cher
And I hope I say it for a lot of people
Why can I be like any guy
Why do they try to make me run
Son of a gun
Now what do they care
About the clothes I wear
Why get their kicks from making fun
Yeah, this world's got a lot of space
And if they don't like my face
It ain't me that's going any where, no
So I don't care
Then laugh at me
If that's all fair
I have to beg to be free
Then baby laugh at me
And I'll cry for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll do all the things
That the man upstairs says to do
I'll do them for you
I'll do them
I'll do them all for you
It's gotta start some place
It's gotta start somehow
I'll make that other cheek mine
And maybe the next guy
That don't wear a silk TIE
He can walk by and say hi
Say hi, instead of why
Instead of why
Instead of why, baby
Instead of why
What did I do to you
Why, I don't know why
Ooh, ooh yeah, ooooh yeah
Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight

School babe
Your Mamma says you don't
Your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time, oh no
TIE your mother down
TIE your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
TIE your mother down
TIE your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
You're such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house

Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right

To put a stop to all that
Snipin' an' grousin' goin' on all night
TIE your mother down

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to TIE us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever

No need to whine, boy,
Like a wind-up toy you stutter at my feet,
And it's never the time, boy,
You've had too much wine to stumble up my street.
Well it isn't a problem,
Nothing we can't keep between the sheets,
Tell me you're mine, love,
And I will not wait for other bedtime treats.
Is there something you lack,
When I'm flat on my back,
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you ate,
Or it's something you hate,
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate,
And is she really great,
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?
Oh, oh oh , ouah oh ah
Don't feed me a line, boy,
I can hear that voice you use upon the phone,
And there's no need to be coy,
That is something you can do upon your own.
Well it isn't problem, nothing we can't solve so just relax.
Am I on the wrong train, love,
And will I have to TIE you to the tracks.
Is there something you lack,

Two young people, without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle with just what they need
Living on love
She don't care 'bout what's in style
She just likes the way he smile
It takes more than marvel and time
Living on love
Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
It's like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that's what you're thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn't take much, when you get enough
Living on love
Two old people, without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side on that front porch swing
Living on love
He can't see anymore
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they walk through that door
Just living on love
Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
It's like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that's what you're thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn't take much, when you get enough

My father is a doctor, he's a family man
My mother works for charity whenever she can
And they're both good clean Americans who abide by the law
And they both stick up for liberty and they both support the war
My happiness was paid for when they laid their money down
For summers in a summer camp and winters in the town
My future in the system was talked about and planned
But I gave it up for music and The Free Electric Band
I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly ordered hair
And the school was big and newly built and filled with light and air
And the teachers taught us values that we had to learn to keep
And they'd clip the ear of any idle kid who went to sleep
Then my father organised for me a college in the east
But I went to California, the sunshine and the beach
My parents and my lecturers could never understand
Why I gave it up for music and The Free Electric Band
Well, they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer
Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand
'Cause all I need is music and The Free Electric Band
My father sent me money and I spent it very fast
On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class
Yes, and we learnt about her body, but her mind we didn't know
Until deep rooted attitudes and morals began to show
She wanted to get married even though she never said
But I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head
She'd SETTLE for suburbia and a little patch of land
So I gave her up for music and The Free Electric Band
The Free Electric Band
The Free Electric Band
The Free Electric Band
The Free Electric Band
The Free Electric Band
The Free Electric Band

Please, come to Boston for the Springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends, and they've got lots of room
And you can sell your paintings on the side-walk
By a café where I hope to be workin' soon
Please, come to Boston
She said, "No, would you come home to me?"
And she say, hey ramblin' boy, now won't you SETTLE down?
Boston ain't your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee
Please, come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And then, lie awake at night 'til they come back around
Please, come to Denver
She said, "No, boy, would you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy, why don't you settle down?
Denver ain't your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
Now, this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I still need to lean to
Somebody I can sing to
Please, come to LA to live forever
And California's life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars that fell from the sky
And livin' up on the hill
Please, come to LA
She just said, "No, boy, won't you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy, why don't you settle down?
LA can't be your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark
Star so light and star so bright
First star I see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by my side
I wanna SETTLE down
I wanna SETTLE down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna SETTLE down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Let's make our vows
Star so light and star so bright
First star I see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!

What's your twenty?
Where's your brain?
Checking in to check you out
Concerned about your whereabouts
Copy that, you're acting strange
So tell me what is going on
So heavy I bet
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
I'm hella positive for real, I'm all good no
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
It's gotten complicated that's for sure
But you can see it my eyes, you can read on my lips

No big deal (I can handle it)
It'll bounce off me (I can handle it)
Been around the block before
Doesn't matter anymore

Are you insane? (are you kidding me?)
Underneath the avalanche
So heavy again
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
I'm hella positive for real, I'm all good no
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
It's gotten complicated that's for sure

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 mornin'
The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'
You're goin', you're goin' home

Gone are the days when the ox fall down
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said, "Please
Gentle Jack Jones, won't you come to me?"
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
1920 when he stepped to the bar
Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar
1930 when the wall caved in
He made his way selling red-eyed gin
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins
Two times over and the rest were sins
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad
Didn't get the licking's that the other ones had
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
Tumble down shack on Big Foot county
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
And the old man never was the same again
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell
I cut hickory just to fire the still
Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on
Gone are the days when the ox fall down
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said, "Please
Gentle Jack Jones, won't you come to me?"
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's getting on

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making 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."
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 feeling 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 someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the 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."
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking 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 drinking alone
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 feeling 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 coming 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 doing here?"
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 feeling alright

Well sitting in a bar alone
Where no-one knows your name
Is like laying in a graveyard
Wide awake
You're scared that if you cough or yawn
You might wake up the dead
So pretend to read a paper
Or just drink instead
I'm a stand-up comedian
But I'd sit down if I could
The world just seems
To want folk like me to stand
And the punch-lines seem to disappear
Like clouds across the sky
And the laughter could be real
Or could be canned
Rum by the kettle drum
Whiskey by the jar
At Liar's BAR
Well living with a lying man
Could never really hurt
But living with a drunk
Well no-one deserves
And you're looking for your husband
You're not sure he's still alive
Don't bother with the cemetery
He'll be down at liar's dive
I'm a traveling businessman
I just stopped in for one drink
You'll find
That I'm not like the other men
Their noses are red
Whilst mine is only pink
And they didn't choose their drink
Their drink chose them
Rum by the kettle drum
Whiskey by the jar
At Liar's Bar
And the grave-digger's smiling
At his reflection in his spade
He's visiting the seediest
The shallowest of graves
The vocal chords of elephants
And the characters of mice
They're singing "whiskey, whiskey"
So good they named it twice
Well don't pass buildings with lights on
If I said that I did I'd have lied
'Cause what looks like a Chinese restaurant
May have Chinese New Year inside
And son all my life I've been searching
The bars I've been in I forget
The lights outside ever brighter
But a light on the inside not yet
Rum by the kettle drum
Whiskey by the jar
At Liar's Bar
And he's a world-wide traveler
He's not like me or you
But he comes in mighty regular
For one who's passing through
That one came in his work clothes
He's missed his last bus home
He's missed a hell of a lot of buses
For a man who wants to roam
If I look rough I am rough
If I look sad I am
If I look broke I am broke
Just a broke down piece of man
I've turned over enough leaves
To fill an autumn
And if I had one final wish
I'd be your slave for a decade
If you could take me away from this
If you took me away from this
I'd be different you'd see
'Cause I didn't choose the drink

Rum by the kettle drum
Whiskey by the jar

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended BAR
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa they fell in love
Copa, Copacabana
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, she lost her love

like in Havana
(Copa, banana)
Music and passion were always in fashion
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa don't fall in love
don't fall in love

Human League, DON'T YOU WANT ME
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail BAR
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail BAR
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good at times
I still love you
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?

Well show me the way
To the next whiskey BAR
Oh don't ask why
Oh don't ask why
Show me the way
To the next whiskey BAR
Oh don't ask why
Oh don't ask why
For if we don't find
The next whiskey BAR
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh moon of Alabama
We now, must say goodbye
We've lost, our good old Mama
And must have whiskey
Oh, you know why
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost, our good old Mama
And must have whiskey
Oh, you know why
Morgan Wallen, THIS BAR
I found myself in this BAR
Making mistakes and making new friends
I was growing up and nothing made sense
Buzzing all night like neon in the dark
I found myself in this
Couldn't wait to turn 21
The day I did, I got too drunk
Spinnin' round dizzy on the patio
Found out real quick how to take it slow
Got whiskey bent on whiskey sours
Ran my mouth to an out-of-towner
Learned a big lesson when I met the bouncer
I found myself in this BAR
Making mistakes and making new friends
I was growing up and nothing made sense
Buzzing all night like neon in the dark
I found myself in this BAR
I found myself in this
Saw her in the corner sippin' something tall
Cracked a few jokes, we hit it off
Year down the road, I'm watching her
Walk through the door with some new jerk
We had it good and it hurt so bad
But I had to stand my ground
Chased my pride with another round
I found myself in this BAR
Making mistakes and making new friends
I was growing up and nothing made sense
Learning how to live with a broken heart
I found myself in this BAR
Those nights, what I would give for one more
Bud Lights and kissin' on the front porch
Didn't even know what I was looking for
But I found myself in this BAR
I found myself in this BAR
I found myself in this BAR
Ain't it strange the things you keep tucked in your heart?
I found myself in this BAR

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock I am an island
Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to PROTECT me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own PROTECTION
It scares me to feel this way
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love?
Got to do it
Got to do it
What's love?

May also be sung as "Please Protect The Children".
First performed in New York City public schools in June 2006.
Verse:
I have seen the best of times,
And those times when I’ve been low,
But I can take all that life may give,
And still come back I know,
And the rivers that run through the land,
And tumble free and fine,
Well, they don’t need your helping hand,
They’ve got the rest of time.
Chorus:
But God Protect The Children,
Wherever they may be,
Protect them from the raging storm,
And from the angry sea.
Verse:
Protect them in the villages
And cities near and far,
Sheltered in their mothers’ arms,
Beneath your guiding star.
Chorus:
God Protect The Children,
Wherever they may be,
Protect them from the raging storm,
And from the angry sea.
Bridge:
And when a child’s voice is heard to cry
In hunger or in pain,
Please move the stars, and change the tide
‘Till that child can smile again.
Chorus:
God Protect The Children,
Wherever they may be,
Protect them from the raging storm,
And from the angry sea.
Protect them as they grow and dream,
Long after day is done,
God Protect The Children,
Protect them ev’ry one.

Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
I love these girls who're passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting, oh, on a friend
Ooh, a smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

Don't need a whore

Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to PROTECT
Ooh, making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

For his age, he's wise
He's got his mother's eyes
There's gladness in his heart
He's young and he's wild
My only prayer is, if I can't be there,
Lord, PROTECT my child
As his youth now unfolds
He is centuries old
Just to see him at play makes me smile
No matter what happens to me
No matter what my destiny
Lord, PROTECT my child
While the world is asleep
You can look at it and weep
Few things you find are worthwhile
And though I don't ask for much
No material things to touch
Lord, PROTECT my child
He's young and on fire
Full of hope and desire
In a world that's been raped, raped and defiled
If I fall along the way
And can't see another day
Lord, PROTECT my child
There'll be a time I hear tell
When all will be well
When God and man will be reconciled
But until men lose their chains
And righteousness reigns
Lord, PROTECT my child
Gaydave's selection....
Britney Spears, OVERPROTECTED
I need time (time), love, joy (joy)
I need space, love
I need me (action!)
Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn PROTECTED
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in takin' chances
But who am I to say what a girl is to do?
God, I need some answers
What am I to do with my life? (You will find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right? (You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I tell 'em what I like, what I want, and what I don't
But every time I do, I stand corrected
Things that I've been told, I can't believe
What I hear about the world, I realize I'm overprotected
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in takin' chances
But who am I to say what a girl is to do?
God, I need some answers
What am I to do with my life? (You will find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right? (You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel (help the way I feel)
But my life has been so overprotected
I need time, love
I need space (this is it)
I don't need nobody tellin' me just what I wanna
What I want, want, what I'm gonna
(I need) do about my destiny (I say no, no)
Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna (do, do)
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me (action!)
How am I supposed to know what's right? (You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I don't need nobody tellin' me just what I wanna
What I want, want, what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny (I say no, no)
Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna (do, do)
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me
What am I to do with my life? (You will find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right? (You just gotta do it your way)

Me when I'm wrecked
I pretend you're still alive-ive
Yeah
Who will deny
All in time
All the lies

Thick fog that hide our smiles
Clear all your sins
Get born again
Just repeat a couple lines-ines

When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can FORGET all your troubles, FORGET all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown everything's waiting for you
Downtown, downtown
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows
Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
Downtown, downtown
Downtown
Downtown
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more
Downtown, everything's waiting for you

Don't forget it's bin night, tonight
Bin night
Which bin goes out at night, tonight?
On bin night
Is it red or is it green?
Then there's yellow, that's for recycling
Bins on the street, now you can rest and sleep
Now it's garbage day, truck's on it's way
Neighbour runs out you can hear the shout
"My bin's not out, can you turn about?"
The truck drives by, in a blink of an eye
Nipping down the street, wearing bare feet
Pajamas on, coming truck's gone
You forgot bin night
Keep the lid on the bin at night, tonight
On bin night
There's a bird around the bin at night, tonight
On bin night
It's not a pigeon or magpie
It has two small black beady eyes
A bird mysterious, could be an ibis
Bendy beak, white wings
Ancient Egyptians
Revered by all
Drawings on the wall
In heiroglyph
An ancient myth
Today we see them roaming free
Majestic along
On the bin, its throne It's a bin chicken!
Don't forget it's bin night
Tonight
Bin night
Which bin goes out at night
Tonight
Bin night
Which bin goes out at night
Tonight
On bin night
Is it red?
Or is it green?
Then there's yellow Thats for recycling
Bins on the street
Now you can rest and sleep
Don't forget it's bin night, tonight
Bin night
Which bin goes out at night, tonight?
On bin night
Is it red or is it green?
Then there's yellow, that's for recycling
Bins on the street, now you can rest and sleep
Now it's garbage day, truck's on it's way
Neighbour runs out you can hear the shout
"My bin's not out, can you turn about?"
The truck drives by, in a blink of an eye
Nipping down the street, wearing bare feet
Pajamas on, coming truck's gone
You forgot bin night

I know you're a lonely woman and I love you
But someone else is waiting and he owns you
If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love
If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name
And if you walk in your sleep FORGET where you came
Walking every night here in the shadows
So afraid that sometime he may follow
There's always the chance he'll find us
I don't need to remind you
If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Love is so much sweeter when it's borrowed
I'll feel a little easier tomorrow
Don't give our secret away, be careful what you say
If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Forget where you came, now
Forget where you came
Don't mention my name
Don't mention my name
Forget where you came

I'm not in love
So don't FORGET it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

I'm getting weary looking in my baby's eyes
When she's near me she's so hard to recognize
But I finally realize there's no room for regret
True love, true love, true love tends to FORGET.
Hold me, baby be near
You told me that you'd be sincere
But every day of the year's like playing Russian roulette
True love, true love, true love tends to FORGET.
I was lying down in the reeds without any oxygen
I saw you in the wilderness among the men
I saw you drift into infinity and come back again
All you got to do is wait 'till I'll tell you when.
You're a tearjerker, baby, but I'm under your spell
You're a hard worker, baby, and I know you well
At this weekend in hell is making me sweat
True love, true love, true love tends to FORGET.
I was lying down in the reeds without any oxygen
I saw you in the wilderness among the men
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
All you got to do is wait and I'll tell you when.
You belong to me baby, without any doubt
Don't forsake me baby, don't sell me out
Don't keep me knocking about from Mexico to Tibet
True love, true love, true love tends to FORGET.
True love, true love, true love tends to FORGET.
True love, true love, true love tends to FORGET
True love, true love, true love tends to FORGET.

There was a time
When I was so broken-hearted
Luck wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
So listen
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to FORGET you
Love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on me, yeah!
Now there's not even breathing room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah, you cry when we're making love
Must be one and the same
It's down on me
Yeah, I got to tell you one thing
That's been on my mind, girl, I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain somethin'
What you give to me takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to FORGET you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me, yeah!
'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Til you give your heart away
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to FORGET you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' to let you
Do what you do, what you do down to
No, no, baby, baby, baby
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to FORGET you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down to
(Down to, baby, down to, down to)
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' to FORGET you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Harry Manx
Turn 'round don't keep running straight out the door
You're caught between a rock and somethin'
hurtin' at the core
You jumped the wire and headed down on old Montgomery lane
You were halfway home to heaven child when you heard that voice again
She said, always keep me close
even cross a distant sea
One more thing, before i go
don't you forget to miss me
She said she's gonna make it back,
could be any day
It's not so much the waiting
as not knowing what to say
Trouble came to tear him down,
laid his plans to waste
Thoughts of her keep comin' strong
It's a feeling he can taste
He sent her words as sweet as wine
and stars on a full moon night
She sent him kisses soft as rain
all bathed in a summers light
The day drew near
when they would meet,
she rose two hours fore dawn
She tried so hard not to cry but now the tears had come

Purple is the colour of grapes
Red is the colour of cherries
Yellow is the colour of bananas
Me, I like blueberries
We′ve got a rainbow of colours together
Colours that you see here and there
A rainbow of colours together
See them everywhere
Red is the colour of a stop light
Yellow is the colour of canaries
Blue is the colour of the clear sky
Purple is the colour of me
We've got a rainbow of colours together
Colours that you see here and there
A rainbow of colours together

There's a big, brown cloud in the city
And the countryside's a sin
The price of life is too high to give up
It's gotta come down again
But worldwide war is over and done
And the dream of peace comes true
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew
When they find out how to burn water
And the gasoline car is gone
When an airplane flies without any fuel
And the satellite heats our home
But one of these days when the air clears up
And the sun comes shinin' through
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew
Alright, Parky?
Here comes Don
You don't have to get high to get happy
Just think about what's in store
When people start doin' what they oughta be doin'
Then they won't be booin' no more
When a President goes through the White House door
Does what he says he'll do
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-ubb
And eatin' that rainbow stew

I can't seem to get my sleep now any old night,
Mr Sandman passes by my door;
Life has changed since you've been there to say it's alright,
You taught me to understand what I thought couldn't be,
Don't mind missing sleep if I can see:
Colours of my life,
You've got love to fill my heart;
I don't need a RAINBOW
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours blend with love to show I'm happy with you,
I can never be the same again;
Now my eyes are looking past the life that I knew,
I'll be shedding black and grey to take on red and blue,
Colours I can feel by touching you:
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life,
Colours of my life.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a RAINBOW
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let it show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let it show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

[Verse 1]
I been waiting my time just to talk to you
You've been lookin' all down in the mouth
And down at your shoes
Well, baby, I came to give you the news
I´ll paint RAINBOWS all over your blues
[Verse 2]
I heard you been spending
A lot of your time up in your room
And at night you been watchin'
The dark side of the moon
You don´t talk to nobody
If they don't talk to you
So Buddy and me came here
To sing you a tune
(Yeah)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
"I give up" is all you've really got to say
It´s time to find a new life style
Cause this really ain''t the way
[Verse 3]
Let's go for a bounce
On my trampoline
I can show you the prettiest mountains
That you've ever seen
You better run to your closet
And fish out your blue suede shoes
I'll paint rainbows all over your blues
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Somewhere over the RAINBOW
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby, oh
Somewhere over the RAINBOW
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I? I
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can't I? I
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ah-ah-eh-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Why are there so many songs about RAINBOWs,
and what's on the other side?
RAINBOWs are visions,
but only illusions,
and RAINBOWs have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it,
the RAINBOW connection,
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered,
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that,
and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing,
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it,
the RAINBOW connection,
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under it's spell,
we know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailor?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it,
the RAINBOW connection,
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
La da da di da da doo.
La la da da da, dee dah dooo!
She comes in colours ev'rywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a RAINBOW
Coming, colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
She comes in colours ev'rywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a RAINBOW
Coming, colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?
She comes in colours ev'rywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a RAINBOW
Coming, colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots colours all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?
She comes in colours ev'rywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a RAINBOW
Coming, colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
She's like a RAINBOW
Coming, colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
