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!

Hey, I had a bad day,
And I wondered how it tastes,
So I ate...
And then I served myself a second plate.
Hey, I had a bad week,
And I wonder if it′s sweet,
So I'll eat...
′Cause I deserve to give myself a treat...
Sadness tastes like French fries
And anger tastes like wine...
They're only grapes but give them time.
Hey, I had a bad night,
So I wrapped it up in pie
And let it bake...
So all my feelings taste like Tenderflake.
Oh joy, my mum just called.
And she's appalled because my dad don′t want to spoon,
I′ll take that spoon, and put some ice-cream on my afternoon.
But guilty tasates like noodles.
Lonely tastes like bread.
But toast can make a royal friend,
hmmm!
Yup!
Everything is wonderful... Yeah!
So walk it off, walk it off,
Circle the block,
The cookies and cream are starting to talk to me...
I'm ust crazy...
But crazy tastes so good,
Crazy tastes so nice.
Crazy tastes like never-have-to-go outside.
Here we go now!
Hey, I had a bad day so I ate it all.(repeat 3 times
Hey, I had a bad day and I′m stuffed.

Move slowly to my dresser drawers
Put my blue jeans on
Find my cowboy boots, my button down
Strap my timepiece on my arm
Grab my bill fold, my pocket change
Just a mindless old routine
Then, it's out the door and down the street
It's not really me
I still comb my hair the same
Still like the same cologne
And I still drive that pick-up truck
That the same old bank still owns
Since you left, everybody says
I'm not the guy they've known
The lights are on
But nobody's home
Cup of coffee in the morning
It's just food for the brain
But I've been numb since our last goodbye
I haven't felt a thing
But now, there's pains in my head
Pains in my chest
And I think I'm losing my hair
I'm a half a man with half a mind
To think you didn't care
I still comb my hair the same
Still like the same cologne
And I still drive that pick-up truck
That the same old bank still owns
But since you left, everybody says
I'm not the guy they've known
The lights are on
But nobody's home
Since you left, everybody says
I'm not the guy they've known
The lights are on
But nobody's home
The lights are on
But nobody's home
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way
Gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh FOOD for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns a frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way
Get her through her busy day
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy
You could tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night
Help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those
You will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day
Hey!

I've been wandering around the house all night
Wondering what the hell to do
Yeah I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
Well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends they ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone
Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you
Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long
Even FOOD don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone
I've been driving up and down these streets
Trying to find somewhere to go
Ya I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know
This is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane
I hope you're coming back real soon 'cause I don't know what to do
Baby when you're gone (when you're gone), I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on (on and on), and the nights just seem so long
Even FOOD don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone
Baby when you're gone (when you're gone), I realize I'm in love (so in love)
Days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long
Even FOOD don't taste that good (good), drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong (so wrong), baby when you're gone (gone, gone)
Baby when you're gone
Baby when you're gone

Well, you wake up in the mornin'
You hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table
You see the same old thing
Ain't no FOOD upon the table
And no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy
You get in trouble with the man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Yonder come Miss Rosie
How in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron
And the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the gov'nor
She want to free her man, oh
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
If you're ever in Houston
Well, you better do right

There, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya
And the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy
Whoa, you're prison bound

Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came
Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese FOOD to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came
Swinging On A Star - Frank Sinatra
only registered users can see external links
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long, funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And, by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He's got no manners when he eats his FOOD
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool all the people is his only thought
Though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
And all the monkeys aren't in a ****
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see, it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star
The Beach Boys
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town, we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, ay-yeah-ay
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone? Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail (hoist up the John B's sail)
See how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets)
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I wanna go home
Let me go home
(Why don't you let me go?)
Hoist up the John B's sail (hoist up the John B)
Feel so broke up, I wanna go home
Let me go home
The poor cook, he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home?
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail (hoist up the John B's sail)
See how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets)
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I wanna go home
Let me go home

I am SAILING, I am sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, to be free
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever trying
To be with you, who can say
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say
We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh (my) Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh (my) Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord
I SAILED an ocean, unsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's borders
SAIL through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
Caught like a sewer rat, alone, but I SAIL
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh, do I wail
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never clearing, persevering
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor
SAIL on, SAIL on, sailor

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on
You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah ha
Making love with each other, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
SAIL away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah ha
Making love with each other, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Sail away
Oh, come sail away with me
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can SAIL away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
SAILING
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm SAILING
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
SAILING
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Well, it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can SAIL away
And find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, really, believe me
SAILING
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

She walks in and I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in, my hopes begin to rise
Look at me, can't you tell
I'd be so thrilled to see the message in your eyes?
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to SAIL any ocean
Suddenly, I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
And how can I feel you're all that matters?
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly, I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when you're near?
There's no way any hurt can get through
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
With you
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly, I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you, ooh

Let me sail, let me sail,
Let the Orinoco Flow,
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of Tripoli.
Let me sail, let me sail,
Let me crash upon your shore,
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Yellow Sea.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
From Bissau to Palau, in the shade of Avalon,
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
From Bali to Cali, far beneath the Coral Sea.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu. Oh.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
From the North to the South, Ebudæ into Khartoum,
From the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.
We can sail, we can sail with the Orinoco Flow,
We can sail, we can sail.
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can steer, we can near
With Rob Dickins at the wheel,
We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can reach, we can beach,
On the shores of Tripoli,
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
From Bali to Cali, far beneath the Coral Sea,
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
From Bissau to Palau, in the shade of Avalon,
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can reach, we can beach,
Far beyond the Yellow Sea,
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
We can sail, we can sail.
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can sail, we can sail.

Across the bay, a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight
And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me
As I slip across the waves, my sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
Where someday I will take her off with me
And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me
A smile comes upon me as I look across the bow
I see the lady on the side
But she will wait no more as I head towards the shore
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride
And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We will go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me
Sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me
Sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me

I was riding on the Mayflower
When I thought I spied some land.... (laughter)
I was riding on the Mayflower
When I thought I spied some land
I yelled for Captain Arab
I have you understand
Who came running to the deck
Said, "Boys, forget the whale
Look on over yonder
Cut the engines
Change the SAIL
Haul on the bowline."
We sang that melody
Like all tough SAILors do
When they're far away at sea
"I think I'll call it America,"
I said as we hit land
I took a deep breath
I fell down, I could not stand
Captain Arab he started
Writing up some deeds
He said, "Let's set up a fort
And start buying a place with beads."
Just then this cop comes down the street
Crazy as a loon
He throws us all in jail
For carryin' harpoons
Ah, me I busted out
Don't even ask me how
I went to get some help
I walked by a Guernsey cow
Who directed me down
To the Bowery slums
Where people carried signs around
Saying, "Ban the bums."
I jumped right into line
Saying, "I hope that I'm not late."
When I realized I hadn't eaten
For five days straight
I went into a restaurant
Lookin' for the cook
I told him I was the editor
Of a famous etiquette book
The waitress he was handsome
He wore a powder blue cape
I ordered some Suzette, I said,
"Could you please make that Crepe?"
Just then the whole kitchen exploded
From boilin' fat
Food was flying everywhere
I left without my hat
Now, I didn't mean to be nosy
But I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab
And all the boys back in the tank
They asked me for some collateral
And I pulled down my pants
They threw me in the alley
When up comes this girl from France
Who invited me to her house
I went, but she had a friend
Who knocked me out
And robbed my boots
And I was on the street again
Well, I rapped upon a house
With the US flag upon display
I said, "Could you help me out
I got some friends down the way."
The man says, "Get out of here
I'll tear you limb from limb."
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too."
He said, "You're not Him
Get out of here before I break your bones
I ain't your pop."
I decided to have him arrested
And I went looking for a cop
I ran right outside
I hopped inside a cab
I went out the other door
This Englishman said, "Fab."
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand
And a chariot that stood
Parked across from a building
Advertising brotherhood
I ran right through the front door
Like a hobo sailor does
But it was just a funeral parlor
And a man asked me who I was
I repeated that my friends
Were all in jail, with a sigh
He gave me his card
He said, "Call me if they die."
I shook his hand and said "Goodbye"
Ran out to the street
When a bowling ball came down the road
And knocked me off my feet
A pay phone was ringing
And it just about blew my mind
When I picked it up and said "Hello"
This foot came through the line
Well, by this time I's fed up
At trying to make a stab
At bringin' back any help
For my friends and captain Arab
I decided to flip a coin
Like either heads or tails
Would let me know if I should go
Back to ship or back to jail
So I hocked my SAILor's suit
And I got a coin to flip
It came up tails
It rhymed with SAILs
So I made it back to the ship
Well, I got back and took
The parkin' ticket off the mast
I was ripping it to shreds
When this coastguard boat went past
They asked me my name
And I said, "Captain Kidd."
They believed me but
They wanted to know
What exactly that I did
I said for the Pope of Eruke
I was employed
They let me go right away
They were very paranoid
Well, the last I heard of Arab
He was stuck on a whale
That was married to the deputy
Sheriff of the jail
But the funniest thing was
When I was leavin' the bay
I saw three ships SAILin'
They were all heading my way
I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn't drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, "Good luck."

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves, spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We lived happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On the pot of gold
But we'll try, best that we can
To carry on
A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said
They said come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me, lads
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me, baby
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for the skies
Singing "Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me, lads
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me"
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Come SAIL away, come SAIL away
Come SAIL away with me
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden HAIR ⁰surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden HAIR surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Doo wop doo wop ...

I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
On a grand soft day-I-ay
And I ask you, "Friend, what's a fella to do?"
'Cause her HAIR was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
On a day-I-ay-I-ay
And she took me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day-I-ay
And I ask you, "Friend, what's a fella to do"
"If her hair was black and her eyes were blue?"
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
Yee
Yee-haw
Oh
So when I woke up, I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you, "Friend" (and I ask you, "Friend")
"What's a fella to do" ("What's a fella to do?")
"If her hair was black and her eyes were blue?"
See I've traveled around (see I've traveled around)
I've been all over the world (been all over the world)
I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Oh
Yee
Oh
Yee
And I ask you, "Friend" (and I ask you, "Friend")
"What's a fella to do" ("What's a fella to do?")
"If her hair was black and her eyes were blue?"
See I've traveled around (see I've traveled around)
I've been all over the world (been all over the world)
But I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
I've been shooting in the dark too long
When something not right it's wrong
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It's always hit me from below
This time around it's more correct
Right on target so direct
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Purple clover Queen Anne lace
Crimson HAIR across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinking of
You might be spoiling me too much love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
Blue river running slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever
And never realize the time.
Situations have ended sad
Relationship have all been bad
Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
But there's no way I can compare
All those scenes to this affair
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm doing
Staying far behind without you
Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm saying
Yer gonna make me give myself a good talking to.
I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
Yer gonna have to leave me now I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass in the ones I love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Lean out your window, golden HAIR
I heard you singing in the midnight air
My book is closed, I read no more
Watching the fire dance on the floor
I've left my book, I've left my room
For I heard you singing through the gloom
Singing and singing a merry air
Lean out of the window, golden HAIR

With your long blonde HAIR and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever get from you
Is sorrow, sorrow
You're actin' funny spendin' all my money
You're out there playin' your high class games
Sorrow, sorrow
You never do what you know you oughta
Somethin' tells me you're the devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Ah, ah, ah
I tried to fight her but I can't resist her
(I tried to fight her but I can't resist her)
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow, sorrow
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
(With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue)
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow, sorrow
Ah, ah, ah
With your long blonde hair I couldn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

Her HAIR is Harlow gold
Her lips a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Offer feed with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
'Cause she knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes
She'll tease you

She's a wonderful lady
And she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way
That she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.
The four kings of E.M.I.
Are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door.
He reminds me of a penguin
With few and plastered HAIR,
There's talcum powder on the letter
And the birthday boy is there.
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.
[Progressive **** vocals]
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

Let's turn the lights down soft and low
And watch the fire embers glow
Let's lock the world outside the door
This is the night we've been waiting for
The moon is shining through the window pane
I hear the echo of a passing train
Taking someone's lover far away
But in your arms is where I wanna stay
Tonight, I'm the luckiest man in the world
Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl
And now that I've found you
I'm never gonna let you go
Let your hair fall across your breast
Show me the warmth of your soft caress
The music's playin' soft and slow
We're driftin' into the afterglow
Tonight, I'm the luckiest man in the world
Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl
And now that I've found you
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go

SILVER HAIR AND HEART OF GOLD
Peter Maurice & Joseph George Gilbert
Peter Maurice
As I weave my golden dreams
I'm a kid again it seems
Living in a world that used to be.
Gazing at a smiling face.
No-one else could take her place,
She's the one who really cares for me.
Silver hair and heart of gold,
What a pleasure to behold;
Silver hair and heart of gold.
Never realised that she
Meant the whole darn world to me;
Silver hair and heart of gold.
Travelled east and travelled west
No more will I roam,
Now I've found the place that's best;
It's happy home sweet home.
Even though she's growing old
My two arms just long to hold
Silver hair and heart of gold.
[Her:]
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
[Him:]
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
[Him:]
Babe
[Both:]
I got you babe I got you babe
[Her:]
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
[Him:]
I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
[Him:]
Babe
[Both:]
I got you babe I got you babe
[Him:]
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
[Her:]
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
[Her:]
So let them say your HAIR'S too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
[Him:]
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
[Him:]
Babe
[Both:]
I got you babe I got you babe
[Him:]
I got you to hold my hand
[Her:]
I got you to understand
[Him:]
I got you to walk with me
[Her:]
I got you to talk with me
[Him:]
I got you to kiss goodnight
[Her:]
I got you to hold me tight
[Him:]
I got you, I won't let go
[Her:]
I got you to love me so
[Both:]
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your HAIR fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your HAIR spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your HAIR fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Out of Control - SHE WANTS REVENGE

With her high heel against the wall
Kind of dancing, though not at all
She had stockings running up to her thigh
Snaps her finger to keep the time.
From the back of the room I saw her there
I said she wants to be alone and I shouldn't dare
But then she noticed me glance at her
I had no choice but to dance with her.
The lights they move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you 'round
Our hearts steady beating, our sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
I watched her feet move
Her hips they sway
Does a HAIR flip
And starts to say
'oh my god it's my favourite song'
I pull her close and she sings along
We can't slow down even if we try
If the record keeps spinning then so will I
She likes disco and tastes like a tear
Tells me don't stop dancing and she's pulling me near
The lights they move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady beating, our sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
we've got no where to go
We've got nothing to prove
Instead dancing alone I should be dancing with you
This song turning me on
The beat is doing me in
Or maybe its only you
But either way let's begin
we've got no where to go
We've got nothing to prove
Instead dancing alone I should be dancing with you
This song turning me on
The beat is doing me in
Or maybe its only you
But either way let's begin
we've got no where to go
We've got nothing to prove
Instead dancing alone I should be dancing with you
This song turning me on
The beat is doing me in
Or maybe its only you
But either way let's begin
The lights they move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady beating, our sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
The lights they move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you round
Our hearts steady beating, our sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control

Why can’t the English - Rex Harrison (from ‘My Fair Lady’)

Henry Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
Condemned by every syllable she ever uttered.
By law she should be taken out and hung,
For the cold-blooded murder of the ENGLISH tongue.
Eliza Aaoooww! Henry imitating her Aaoooww!
Heaven's! What a noise!
This is what the British population,
Calls an elementary education. Pickering Oh,
Counsel, I think you picked a poor example. Henry Did I?
Hear them down in Soho square,
Dropping "h's" everywhere.
Speaking English anyway they like.
You sir, did you go to school?
Man Wadaya tike me for, a fool?
Henry No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now,
Should be antique. If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too!
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse,
Hear a Cornishman converse,
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.
Chickens cackling in a barn Just like this one!
Eliza Garn! Henry I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?
It's "Aoooow" and "Garn" that keep her in her place.
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction by now should be antique.
If you spoke as she does, sir, Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too.
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him,
The moment he talks he makes some other
Englishman despise him.
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.
Oh, why can't the English learn to set
A good example to people whose
English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely
Disappears. In America, they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their
Greek. In France every Frenchman knows
His language fro "A" to "Zed"
The French never care what they do, actually,
As long as they pronounce in properly.
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning.
And Hebrews learn it backwards,
Which is absolutely frightening.
But use proper English you're regarded as a freak.
Why can't the English,
Why can't the English learn to speak?
Goodbye ENGLAND'S rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along ENGLAND'S greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch, we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along ENGLAND'S greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye ENGLAND'S rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye ENGLAND'S rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you will ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along ENGLAND'S greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along ENGLAND'S greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an ENGLISH country garden
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, hearts ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentian lupine and tall hollyhocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget me nots

How many insects come here and go
Through our English country garden
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you'll surely pardon
Fireflies, moths and bees
Spiders climbing in the trees
Butterflies that sway on the cool gentle breeze
There are snakes, ants that stinks
And creepy things
In an English country garden
How many songbirds fly to and flo
Through our English country garden
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you'll surely pardon

Tanager and cardinals
Bluebirds larks thrush and nightingale
There is joy in the spring

ENGLAND swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy-red cheeks of the little children
Now, if you huff and puff and you finally save enough
Money up to take your family on a trip across the sea
Take a tip before you take your trip, let me tell you where to go
Go to Engeland, oh
England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy-red cheeks of the little children
Your mama's old pajamas and your papa's mustache
Falling out the window sill, frolic in the grass
Tryin' to mock the way they talk fun but all in vain
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes
England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy-red cheeks of the little children

When mighty roast beef was the Englishman's food
It ennobled our veins and enriched our blood
Our soldiers were brave and our courtiers were good
Oh, the roast beef of old England!
And old English roast beef!
But since we have learnt from all-vapouring France
To eat their ragouts as well as to dance
We are fed up with nothin' but vain complaisance
Oh, the roast beef of old England!
And old English roast beef!
Our fathers of old were robust, stout, and strong
And kept open house, with good cheer all day long
Which made their plump tenants rejoice in this song
Oh, the roast beef of old England!
And old English roast beef!
When good Queen Elizabeth sat on the throne
N'ere coffee, or tea, and such slip-slops were known
The world was in terror if e'er she did frown
Oh, the roast beef of old England!
And old English roast beef!
In those days, if fleets did presume on the main
They seldom, or never, returned back again
As witness, the vaunting Armada of Spain
Oh, the roast beef of old England!
And old English roast beef!

Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it

What does it matter?
What does it matter?
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the ENGLISH way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

I live and die through England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching from the country
That I love
England
You leave a taste
A bitter one
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never failing love for you
England

Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Skydog slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should
Drums beating, cold ENGLISH blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now
Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should
I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you... how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a... just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away
I know a man, he came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
He said, "Delores, I live in fear
My love for you is so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear"
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away
I know a woman became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She said, "A good day ain't got no rain"
She said, "A bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been"
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and headed home again
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away
God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We work our jobs, collect our pay
Believe were gliding down the highway
When in fact were slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away
Slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away, mm..
Before you SLIP into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss
The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again
Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly
The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line

I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held your love on the tips of my fingers
But that was as close as I came
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
Yes I let you slip right through my hands
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart
I held your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
Yes I let you slip right through my hands
I held your love on the tips of my fingers

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey
Skippin' and a-jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you
My brown-eyed girl
And you, my brown-eyed girl
And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall
SLIPPING and sliding
All along the waterfall with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just seventeen
There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night, they were so excited
We got but one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand, it can SLIP right through your hands
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down, don't let 'em push you around
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner
They took a two room apartment that was jumping every night of the week
Happiness was found in each other's arms as expected, yeah
Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down, don't let 'em push you around
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
Come on Billy
Woo
Young heart, be free tonight
Time is on, on your side
Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents tryin' to explain
He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way
But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening, so we just ran away
Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Time in on your side
Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side
Is on your side, is on your side
Young heart be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh

SLIPpin' and a-slidin'
Peepin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago.
SLIPpin' and a-slidin'
Peepin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago.
Baby I've been told
Baby You've been bold
I won't be your fool no more.
Oh Big conniver
Nothin' but a jiver
Done got hip to your jive.
Oh Big conniver
Nothin' but a jiver
Done got hip to your jive.
SLIPpin' and a-slidin'
Peepin' and a-hidin'

Oh Malinda
She's a solid sender
You know you better surrender
Oh Malinda
She's a solid sender
You know you better surrender
SLIPpin' and slidin'
Peepin' and hidin'
won't be your fool no more.
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose," I heard her say
"Catch your dreams before they SLIP away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind?"
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woah
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to criticize the things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying
You lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woah
Baby baby, I get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it SLIP away
Baby (baby), baby (baby)
I beg of you please...please
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
Well, bring it on back (So bring it on back)
Bring it on back (so bring it on back)
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone
And I can't go on, woah
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone...gone...

When it's cold outside and you want to sleep in
Go for a pallet that's so nice and thin
Zip it all around while it's on the ground
Spread it out and lay it on down
SLIP inside my sleeping bag
SLIP inside my sleeping bag
You're afraid of the dark, baby, no need to be shy
We'll talk about some lovin' while we look at the sky
Don't be hesitatin', it'll be alright
We'll tuck it in until it's clean out of sight
SLIP inside my sleeping bag
SLIP inside my sleeping bag
Let's go out to Egypt 'cause it's in the plan
Sleep beside the pharaohs in the shifting sand
We'll look at some pyramids and check out some heads
Oh, we'll whip out our mattress 'cause there ain't no beds
SLIP inside my sleeping bag
SLIP inside my sleeping bag
(One, two, three, four)
(Five, six, stay intact)
I've got my clipboard, textbooks
Lead me to the station
Yeah, I'm off to the civil war
I've got my kit bag, my heavy boots
I'm running in the rain
Going to run 'til my feet are raw
SLIP kid, SLIP kid, second generation
I'm a soldier at thirteen
SLIP kid, SLIP kid, realization
There's no easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
(It's a hard, hard world)
I left my doctor's prescription
Bungalow behind me
I left the door ajar
I left my vacuum flask
Full of hot tea and sugar
Left the keys right in my car
SLIP kid, SLIP kid, second generation
Only half way up the tree
SLIP kid, SLIP kid, I'm a relation
I'm a soldier at sixty-three
No easy way to be free
(SLIP kid, SLIP kid)
Keep away, old man (SLIP kid)
You won't fool me
You and your history (SLIP kid)
Won't rule me
You might've been a fighter (SLIP kid)
But admit you failed
I'm not affected by your blackmail
You won't blackmail me
I've got my clipboard, textbooks
Lead me to the station
Yeah, I'm off to the civil war
I've got my kit bag, my heavy boots
I'm running in the rain
Going to run 'til my feet are raw
SLIP kid, SLIP kid, SLIP out of trouble
SLIP over here and set me free
SLIP kid, SLIP kid, second generation
You're sliding down the hill like me
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free

Every day, she takes a morning bath, she wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day
SLIPPING into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
It's just another day
At the office where the papers grow, she takes a break
Drinks another coffee, and she finds it hard to stay awake (another)
It's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in apartment, she'd dwell
'Til the man of her dreams comes to break the spell
Ah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes, and he stays, but he leaves the next day
So sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
As she posts another letter to The Sound of Five
People gather around her, and she finds it hard to stay alive (another)
It's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in apartment, she'd dwell
'Til the man of her dreams comes to break the spell
Ah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes, and he stays, but he leaves the next day
So sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Every day, she takes a morning bath, she wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair (another)
It's just another day
Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
It's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
