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!

Somebody, somewhere turns off the lights
Somebody all alone faces the night
You got to be strong when you're out on your own
'Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone
Nobody, nowhere holds the key to your heart
When love's a possession, it'll tear you apart
You may have lovers wherever you ROAM
But sooner or later, oh, we all sleep alone
Oh, the young and the young at heart waits
But the wait never ends in the soul
When you feel like it's all blown away
Independence has come and into the night I go
Don't make no promises that I can't keep
I won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone
Ooh, we all sleep alone
Yeah, yeah, we all sleep alone, yeah
And I know, and I know how you feel
What you're thinkin', what you're saying to me
'Cause we all sleep alone, yes, we all sleep alone

I hear a wind
Whistling air
Whispering
In my ear
Boy Mercury shooting through every degree
Oh girl dancing down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Skip the airstrip to the sunset, yeah
Ride the arrow to the target, one
Take it hip to hip, rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Fly the great big sky
See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Busting boundaries
Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness

Ten thousand miles even though I ROAM
I can hear the call of the hills of home
The canyons high and the valleys low
Echo "how can you stay away"
My dreams are there where the eagle flies
Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky
The winding streams and the winds that blow
Ask me "how can you stay away"
Far too long have I stayed apart
From this land that I love and divide my heart
Now, now I know I must go
Where the hills say "don't stay away"
Where the hills say "don't stay away"
San Tropez ~ Pink Floyd

As I reach for a peach
Slide a rind down behind
The sofa in San Tropez
Breakin' a stick with a brick on the sand
Ridin' a wave in the wake of an old sedan
Sleepin' alone in the drone of the darkness
Scratched by the sand that fell from my love
Deep in my dreams and I still hear her callin'
"If you're alone I'll come home"
Backward and homebound
The pigeon, the dove
Gone with the wind and the rain, on an AIRPLANE
Owning a home with no silver spoon
I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon
Sooner than wait for a break in the weather
I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together
Speeding away on the wind to a new day
And if you're alone I'll come home
And I pause for a while by a country style
And listen to the things they say
Diggin' for gold with a hoe in my hand
Open a book take a look at the way things stand
And you're leading me down to the place by the sea
I hear your soft voice calling to me
Making a date for later by phone
And if you're alone I'll come home

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight (look out)
Well, I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail
With a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight
Wake up late
Honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card to the liquor store
That's one for you and
Two for me by tonight
I'll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain
Never to return, no
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Speedin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the nightrain
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm ready to crash and burn
Nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Whoa yeah

Love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
An I can never get enough
Ridin' the nightrain

On the nightrain
Float me home
Ooh, I'm on the nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
Never to return

Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 am from a friend's apartment.
I'd like to choose how I hear the news.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.
Let me down easy, no big song and dance.
No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation.
I know the way we should spend that day.
Take me to a **** that's got chimpanzees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.
Don't want to know who's to blame, it won't help knowing.
Don't want to fight day and night bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door, that's no way to end this,
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze.
Tell me on a Sunday please.
I don't want to fight day and night, bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door, that's no way to end this.
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Don't run off in the pouring rain.
Don't call me as they call your PLANE.
Take the hurt out of all the pain.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die
Love, can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same
Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before
Love will turn your world around
And that world will last forever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you SHAME
Nothing in the world will ever be the same
Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love (comes in) and suddenly all our wisdom disappears
Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we made are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never never let you be the same
Love will never never let you be the same

A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ASHAMED to tell
I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
Tryin' to forget the rest
I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away
Lord, the pieces of my life,
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I think I miss most of all
Is you and you know who
Long time coming
Seemed to get me through
Long time coming
Many serve the few
Long to taste the shame
That bows down before you
Long time coming
It seemed to get me by
Long time coming
It seemed to satisfy
You longed to taste the shame
That everybody tries
Shame shame
Throw yourself away
Give me little bits of
More than I can take
If it sits upon your tongue
Or naked in your eyes
Give me little bits of
More than I can try
Throw yourself away

It seemed to get me through

Many served the few
And long to taste the shame
That bows down before you

You don't have to worry 'cause takin' care of business is his name
Telephone line, bad connection
And I'm half asleep
Makin' conversation with you should be easy
But it ain't
Wish you could be with me
There would be no problem
Our communication's bad
And I want to see you again
Person to person, face to face
Person to person, one to one
Person to person, touching hands
Person to person, that's what love demands
Six weeks, long time to be without you sugar
But what can I do
Working hard on the other side of the world
Might as well be on the moon
Wish that I could write it all down
And put it in a letter to you
Feelin' like I do right now
Won't make it any better to you
Just got to be
Person to person, face to face
Person to person, one to one
Person to person, we can't replace
Person to person, that's just how it gets done
Person to person, line to line
Person to person, just keepin' time

In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep,
You lie AWAKE and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep.
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss her most of all.
[Musical interlude]
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm AWAKE the further I'm away
Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm AWAKE the further I'm away
There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm AWAKE the further I'm away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm AWAKE the further I'm away

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane, I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I AWAKE and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad, old padre
On and on, we'll walk at daybreak
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me
'Neath the green, green grass of home
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to AWAKEN from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
They cannot see the sky
Is this the prize
For having learned how not to cry?

Liza with a Z - Liza Minnelli
only registered users can see external links
I have a problem
It's not a big problem
But it is a problem
It's my name
I find it still a lot of people call me Lisa
Wrong!
My name is Liza, Liza
Has a Z in it
Well, for instance, someone will come up to me on the street and say
"Hello Lisa, how are you?"
"Fine, thank you but it's Liza"
Or Someone will say
"Lisa, what a nice hat you have on!"
I'll say, "Thank you very much but my name is Liza and that's my hair"
So you can see what I mean
Anyway, I've been trying to figure out the final solution to this
And I think I've come up with an answer
Jack!
It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!
I'll do it again
It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!
Now, if my name were Ada
I'd be Ada
Even backwards I'd be Ada
Or if my name were Ruth
Then I'd be Ruth
Because with Ruth
What can you do?
Or Sally, or Margaret, or Ginger or Faye
But when you're a Liza
You always have to say
It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!
Oh! And that is only half of it
There's another way
Fate treats me cruelly
How often I remember someone saying
"There she goes, Lisa Minooli!"
Or Minoli, or Miniola, or Minili, or Minelie
So is it a wonder, I very often cry?
It's M-I-Double N
Then-E-Double L-I
You double up the N, thats nn, not ll
Then E, double the L, end it with an I
That's the way you say Minnelli
Liza Minnelli
It's Italian
Blame it on papa
What can I do?
Every Sandra
Who's a Sondra
Every Mary who's really Marie
Every Joan
Who is a Joanne
Has got to agree with me
When I've announced
I don't mind being pommelled
Or trampled or trounced
But it does drive you bats
To be miss, Miss pronounced
It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Ly instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!
Then M-I-Double N
Then-E-Double L-I
You double up the N, thats "nn," not "ll"
Then E, double the L, end it with an I
That's the way you say Minnelli
Liza Minnelli!
It's easy!
It's easy! See, it's Leezy!
No! Liza!

You ain’t say no in Acapulco - Elvis

You can't say no, in Acapulco
With every beat your heart will answer yes
Where lovers sing INSTEAD of talk
And dance instead of walk together
In a night, that's filled with stars
And strumming guitars
You can't say no, in Acapulco
Where romance blooms, and love is in the air
So kiss me tender, love me true
Darling feel this magic too
Don't say no, you can't say no, in Acapulco
You can't say no, in Acapulco
Where romance blooms, and love is in the air
So kiss me tender, love me true
Darling feel this magic too
Don't say no, you can't say no, in Acapulco
Don't say no... You can't say no, in Acapulco
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts INSTEAD"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts INSTEAD"
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I begged
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts INSTEAD"
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
"Don't forget me, " I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts INSTEAD"
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I begged
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts INSTEAD"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts INSTEAD"
I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what you got until it's gone
And I found out a little too late
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone, and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
Being without you is all a big mistake
INSTEAD of getting easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe, you're a hard habit to break
You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but livin' alone
I was spreading my love too thin
After all of these years I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better, they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night, it's an endless fight
I can't get you out of my mind
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
Being without you is all a big mistake
INSTEAD of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe, you're a hard habit to break
Can't go on, just can't go on, on
Can't go on, just can't go on, on
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
Being without you is all a big mistake
INSTEAD of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
I'm addicted to you baby

Make me an island - Joe Dolan
only registered users can see external links
Different eyes, different size, different girls every day
Different names, different games took my breath clean away
But I'm changed, rearranged, I'm enlightened and how
you have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now.
Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors.
Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours.
Take me away from the world, take me away from the girls.
Take me and break me and make me an ISLAND, I'm yours.
Running round, shifting ground, that's the life I have seen.
But I'm tired, uninspired and I've wiped my slate clean.
You are mine, I am yours if the Lord will allow.
You have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now.
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

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 pains
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
I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet
Down where Lexington cross 47th Street
Oh she's a big girl, she's standing six-foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city
ISLAND girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
ISLAND girl
Black boy want you in his ISLAND world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you, but the cause is lost
ISLAND girl, ISLAND girl, ISLAND girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world
Well she's black as coal, but she burn like a fire
And she wrap herself around you like a well-worn tire
You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake, oh oh
He one more gone, he one more John who make the mistake
ISLAND girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
ISLAND girl
Black boy want you in his ISLAND world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you, but the cause is lost
ISLAND girl, ISLAND girl, ISLAND girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world
ISLAND girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
ISLAND girl
Black boy want you in his ISLAND world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you, but the cause is lost
ISLAND girl, ISLAND girl, ISLAND girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's
Como puede ser verdad
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the ISLAND breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast
Tropical the ISLAND breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the ISLAND breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
Tropical the ISLAND breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
La la la la la la la
Te dijo te amo
La la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama
I love this island, but this island's killing me
Sitting here in silence, man, I don't get no peace
The waves upon my shore take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know
Gonna head out towards the sea
Jump off the silence
Gonna head out towards the sea
I love this city, man, but this city's killing me
Sitting here in all this noise, man, I don't get no peace
The cars below my street take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know
Gonna head out towards the sea
Gonna leave this city, man
Gonna head out towards the sea
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles
I love this planet, but this planet's killing me
Sitting here in all this grass, man, I don't get no weed
The sweat coming from my palms takes me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know
Gonna head to the galaxy
Gonna leave this planet, man
Gonna head to the galaxy
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles away
Get miles

Send in the clowns - Barbra Streisand
only registered users can see external links
Isn't it rich
Aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss
Don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love farce
My fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a SURPRISE
Who could foresee?
I've come to feel about you what you felt about me
Why only now when I see that you've drifted away
What a surprise, what a cliché
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Here comes my baby - The Tremeloes
only registered users can see external links
In the midnight, moonlight hour
He's walking along that lonely mile
And every time I do
I keep seeing this picture of you
Here comes my baby, here she comes now
And it comes as no SURPRISE to me with another guy
Well, here comes my baby, here she comes now
Walking with her love, with her love, that's oh so fine
Never to be mine, no matter how I try
You never walk alone
And you're forever talking on the phone
I tried to call you names
But every time it comes out the same
Here comes my baby, here she comes now
And it comes as no surprise to me with another guy
Well, here comes my baby, here she comes now
Walking with her love, with her love, that's oh so fine
Never to be mine, no matter how I try
Here comes my baby, here she comes now
And it comes as no surprise to me with another guy
Well, here comes my baby, here she comes now
Walking with her love, with her love, that's oh so fine
Never to be mine, no matter how I try
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent
Silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Quite a surprise
What an ingenious device
Boredom encompasses my time
I don't know what I should do
Indulging a moment of your time
Seldom the breeder of lies
But you won't believe that it's true
They take to the sky
Southbound Pachyderm
Pinholes through cardboard
At the Sun
Passing the bucks by one by one
Leaving nothing in return
Watching the majesty blow past
Speculating which will be the last
Savoring my piece of pie
And there is no reprise
They're filling the sky
Southbound Pachyderm
Right before my very eyes
I thought that you were only fakin' it
And like before my heart was takin' it
Baby what a big SURPRISE
Right before my very eyes
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh
Yesterday it seemed to me
My life was nothing more than wasted time
But here today you've softly changed my mind
Baby, what a big SURPRISE
Right before my very eyes, oh, oh
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay, oh
Hold me in the morning
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way, hey yeah
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
Baby what a big SURPRISE
Right before my very eyes
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh
Baby what a big SURPRISE
Right before my very eyes
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh
Baby what a big SURPRISE
Right before my very eyes
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh
Baby what a big SURPRISE
Right before my very eyes
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh
Baby what a big SURPRISE
I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by SURPRISE
You didn't realize but I was waiting
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by SURPRISE
I didn't realize that you were laughing
'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
I go alone now, calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by SURPRISE
I didn't realize that you were laughing
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years
The best years have come and gone
You took me by SURPRISE
I didn't realize that you were laughing
'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) oh, whatch doing to me?
You took away everything I had ,you put the hurt on me, oh
ha ha ha ha ha ha
(Laughing) ha ha ha ha ha ha
(Laughing) what, you laughing at me?
(Laughing) what, you laughing at me?
oh, what you do on the weekend?
(Laughing) I wanna look when you're laughing
(Laughing) I wanna look when you're laughing

How wonderful you are - Gordon Haskell
only registered users can see external links
I go out most nights
Attracted by the lights
Listen to the jazz in Harry's bar
And I know it won't be long
Before they play that song
Do you know how wonderful you are?
It's a sentimental sound
Make me want to fool around
With somebody who is wishing on a star
I pull my hat down low
Go up and say hello
Do you know how wonderful you are?
Always struggled with the art of conversation
And they'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That It illustrates exactly how I feel
Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's BAR
Though we've only just begun
This show will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are?

Well, show me the way
To the next whisky BAR
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way
To the next whisky BAR
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find
The next whisky 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 whisky, oh, you know why

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
A drink just chose me
Rum by the kettle drum
Whiskey by the jar
At Liar's Bar
Well I'm smoking like a chimney
And I'm drinking like a fish
At Liar's Bar
I never was a violent man
Said the man in the bar with his head in his hands
Trying his best to understand the cause of his dismay
But years of gin have broken him
And left him cold where he fitted in
It's too late to turn around and find another way
And the laughs in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away
That's never how it used to be
What happened to all that energy
You took too many liberties, and I'm tired of being afraid
So after the fight she took flight
Hiding swollen eyes and a wounded pride
The best years of her life denied, sold for liquid shares
And the laughs in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away
The victims of this world, are advertised on posters
A beach and a pretty girl, if you just take this potion
It's another week 'til his cheque comes through
He's got a fiver left now to spend on food
But the doors of the bars are open, and he breaks another rule
He sits on the stool that bears his name
His favourite glass is called the same
And he's never kept waiting, 'cause he pays the landlord's wage
And the laughs in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away
The laughs in the late night lock-in
Have faded away when he gets in
The girl from fifteen years ago
Has packed and gone away
