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!

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is the Ace of Spades
The ACE of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me
Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit, double stake or split, the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and ****'s for fools
But that's the way I like it baby
I don't wanna live for ever
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you gotta see me
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ACE now
(You walk like an ACE now you walk like an ACE)
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
(You look like an ACE now you look like an ACE)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You drive like an ACE now you drive like an ACE)
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Wo wo wo wo woo woo woo)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)

On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us
And he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life
Out of readin' people's faces
Knowin' what the cards were
By the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my sayin'
I can see you're out of ACES
For a taste of your whiskey
I'll give you some advice"
So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep"
And when he'd finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
Faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
You've got to know when to hold 'em (when to hold 'em)
Know when to fold 'em (when to fold 'em)
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

There's a Spanish train that runs between
Guadalquivir and old Saville
And at dead of night the whistle blows
And people hear she's running still
And then they hush their children back to sleep
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep
Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died
But above his bed just a waiting for the dead
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye
Well God's not around and look what I've found, this one's mine
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light
And shouted at the Devil, get thee hence to endless night
But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned
But there's no need to push me around
I got him first so you can do your worst
He's going underground
But I think I'll give you one more chance
Said the Devil with a smile
So throw away that stupid lance
It's really not your style
Joker is the name, poker is the game
We'll play right here on this bed
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet
The souls of the dead
And I said look out, Lord, He's going to win
The sun is down and the night is riding in
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line
Oh Lord, He's going to win
Well the railwayman he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord, he was praying hard
Or that train he'd have to drive
Well the Devil he had three ACES and a king
And the Lord, he was running for a straight
He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades
All he needed was the eight
And then the Lord he called for one more card
But he drew the diamond eight
And the Devil said to the son of God
I believe you've got it straight
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who'll be the king of this place
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak
He slipped another ACE
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid
And it soon went up to fifty nine
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did
And he said that suits me fine
I'll raise you high to a hundred and five
And forever put an end to your sins
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, my hand wins
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win
The sun is down and the night is riding in
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line
Oh Lord, don't let him win
Well that Spanish train still runs between
Guadalquivir and old Saville
And at dead of night the whistle blows
And people fear she's running still
And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls
And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win
The sun is down and the night is riding in
That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line
Oh Lord, you've got to win

All my life, been hustling
And tonight is my appraisal
'Cause I'm a hooker sellin' songs
And my pimp's a record label
This world is full off demons
Stocks and bonds and bible traders
So I do the deed, get up and leave
A climber and a sadist, yeah
Are you ready for the sequel?
Ain't you ready for the latest?
In the garden of evil
I'm gonna be the greatest
In a golden cathedral
I'll be praying for the faithless
And if you lose, boo-hoo
Hey look ma, I made it
Hey look ma, I made it
Everything's comin' up aces, aces
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
I said hey look ma, I made it
Friends are happy for me
Or they're honey-suckle phonies
Then they celebrate my medals
Or they wanna take my trophies
Some are loyal soldiers
While these other thorns are rosy
And if you never know who you can trust
Then trust me you'll be lonely, oh
Are you ready for the sequel?
Ain't you ready for the latest?
In the garden of evil
I'm gonna be the greatest
In a golden cathedral
I'll be praying for the faithless
And if you lose, boo-hoo
Hey look ma, I made it
Hey look ma, I made it
Everything's comin' up aces, aces
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
I said hey look ma, I made it, I made it
I said hey look ma, I made it, I made it
I see it, I want it, I take it, take it
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
I said hey look ma, I made it
(Mama best believe it, Mama best believe it) (Hey look ma, I made it)
(Think I must be dreamin', wide awake and dreamin') (Hey look ma, I made it)
(Mama best believe it, Mama best believe it) (Hey look ma, I made it)
(Think I must be dreamin')
Hey look ma, I made it

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

The river's too wide now for CROSSING
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
'cause the river's too wide
A gentle stream once flowed between us
But love could cross it easily
Till stormy skies brought bitter teardrops
And made that stream a raging river
Come between you and me
The river's too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There's no getting to the other side
The river's too wide now for crossing
The current goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
'cause the river's too wide
Good lessons learned are not forgotten
We gave up love to save our pride
Next time i'm faced with rising waters
I'll build a bridge of love and kindness
Reaching to the other side
The river's too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There's no getting to the other side
The river's too wide now for crossing
The current goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
Southern man, better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your CROSSES are burning fast
Southern man
I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man, when will you pay them back?
I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long? How?
Southern man, better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your CROSSES are burning fast
Southern man
Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man comin' round
Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down
I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long? How?

On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged CROSS
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross
Where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies, at last, I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true
It's shame, it's reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day
To my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies, at last, I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
And exchange it some day for a crown
Got out of town on a boat, goin' to Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete
Off the wind, on this heading lie the Marquesas
We've got 80 feet of the waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you
But on the midnight watch, I realized why twice you ran away
Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman, girl
(Who knows, she knows) Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
When you see the Southern CROSS for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin'
She is all that I have left and music is her name
Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will (Yes)
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested
Somebody fine will come along, make me forget about loving you
In the Southern CROSS

I can explain about last night
Though things didn't look just right
Please believe me there was nothing wrong
I thought about you baby all night long
CROSS my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie, mmm
Talk about a piece of rotten luck
You do a friend a favor and you wind up stuck
She couldn't hold a candle to you, no siree
Very hard to handle like a Model T
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie
Please believe me when I say
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
From you 'cause I don't have to look too hard
To see what I've got in my own back yard
So please forgive me and forget
Don't say my alloy's all wet (?)
I miss those kisses from your honeycomb
This humble bumble bee just wants to fly back home
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie
I wouldn't tell you no lie
No no no no no no
I wouldn't tell you no lie

I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to be, yeah
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now, more and more I wonder where you are
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind anytime
I miss you
Still have your picture in a frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear I hear your voice, driving me insane
How I wish that you would call
To say
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind anytime
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
(No more) loneliness and heartache
(No more) crying myself to sleep
(Don't want no more) wondering about tomorrow
Won't you come back to me
Come back to me, oh
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind anytime
I miss you
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind anytime
I miss you
I miss you [Repeat: x3]

I Have a Dream, a song to sing
To help me cope, with anything
If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale
You can take the future, even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll CROSS the stream, I Have a Dream
I Have a Dream, a fantasy
To help me through, reality
And my destination, makes it worth the while
Pushin' through the darkness, still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll CROSS the stream, I Have a Dream
I'll CROSS the stream, I Have a Dream
I Have a Dream, a song to sing
To help me cope, with anything
If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale
You can take the future, even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll CROSS the stream, I Have a Dream
I'll CROSS the stream, I Have a Dream

Many rivers to CROSS
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Yes I've got many rivers to CROSS
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
'Cause I've been licked and washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this lonliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
'Cause my man left me and he didn't say why
So I guess I'll have to cry
I've got many rivers to CROSS
But just where to begin', I'm praying for time
'Cause there've been times I find myself
Thinking of committing, a dreadful crime
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man left me and he didn't say why
So I guess I'll have to cry
I've got many rivers to CROSS
But just where to begin', I'm praying for time
But I've been licked and washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
(Many rivers to...) CROSS

There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
and if she's comin' she's showed no mark
She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
All your life
You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
[Verse 1: Prince]
This will be the day
That you will hear me say
That I will never run away
I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what you're gonna do
[Chorus: Prince Prince & Rosie Gaines]
If I gave you DIAMONDS and PEARLS
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love
[Verse 2: Prince (Rosie Gaines)]
Which one of us is right
If we always fight
Why can't we just let love decide (let love decide)
Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan (love is the master plan)
[Chorus: Prince Prince & Rosie Gaines]
If I gave you DIAMONDS and PEARLS
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love
[Bridge: Rosie Gaines]
D to the I to the A to the M
O to the N to the D to the PEARLS of love
D to the I to the A to the M (to the M)
O to the N to the D to the PEARLS of love
[Verse 3: Prince (Rosie Gaines)]
There will come a time (there'll come a time)
When love will blow your mind (blow your mind)
And everything you'll look for you'll find (take a look inside yeah)
That will be the time (that will be the time)
That everything will shine (forever)
So bright it makes you colorblind (you will be color blind)
[Chorus: Prince Prince & Rosie Gaines (Rosie Gaines)]
If I gave you DIAMONDS and PEARLS
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love
If I gave you DIAMONDS and PEARLS (PEARLS, yeah yeah)
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world (give you the world)
All I can do is just offer you my love (all I can do)
If I gave you DIAMONDS and PEARLS (DIAMONDS)
Would you be, would you, would you, a happy boy or a girl
(Would ya, would ya, would ya be happy little baby)
If I could I would give you the world

One of my favorite Prince cuts... 😍
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Ah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Ah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Ah
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Ah
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS
Lucy in the sky with DIAMONDS

But on the other hand she's all they have
She's a DIAMOND in their dull, gray lives
And that's the hardest kind of stone, it usually survives
And when you think about it, can you recall
The last time they loved anyone at all?
She's not a bauble you can brush aside
She's been out doing what we just talked about
Example, gave us back our businesses, got the English out
And when you think about it, well, why not do
One or two of the things we promised to?
But on the other hand she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive
But I would not advise those critics present to derive
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where we are
She's the one who's kept you where you are
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental
But DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat
Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't loose their shape
DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend
Tiffany's
Cartier
Black Starr
Frost Gorham
Talk to me Harry Winston
Tell me all about it
There may come a time
When a lass needs a lawyer
But DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend
There may come a time
When a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy
When stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses
Go back to their spouses
DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend
I've heard of affairs
That are strictly platonic
But DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs
That you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets
If little pets get big baguettes
Time rolls on
And youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back
Or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
DIAMONDS
DIAMONDS
I don't mean rhinestones
But DIAMONDS are a girl's best
Best friend

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
Or 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
DIAMOND Girl - you sure do shine
Glad I found you - glad you're mine
Oh my love you're like a precious stone
Part of earth where heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime you're like a shinin' star
And how could I shine without you
When it's about you that I am
DIAMOND Girl - roamin' wild
Such a rare thing - radiant child
I could never find another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
Can't you feel the whole world's a-turnin'
We are real and we are a-burnin'
DIAMOND Girl now that I've found you
It's around you that I am
DIAMOND Girl - you sure do shine
DIAMOND Girl - you sure do shine
DIAMOND Girl - you sure do shine
DIAMOND Girl -

When they gave out eyes like DIAMONDS
That would shame the stars that shine
My darlin' my darlin'
You were the first in line
When they gave out lips like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darlin' my darlin'
You were the first in line
There may be others
that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other
could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
My darlin' say I'm your darlin'
The first, and the last in line.
Why are you trembling so much
I don't think I ever felt so good
When all I need is to be free
Where I love you and you love me
Follow the circle sur la plage
On a mono coloured trip voyage
This is the colour of my world
Stay and watch me find another pearl.
Follow the gold leaf trail back where
We were young and didn't have a care
Tracing the circles that we made
I don't wanna live life in the shade
Will this be a desert or a beach
Or a place to find the things we need.
Now you and I make up perfect things
Watch me trade my wheels for wings
But don't ever use the wings to fly
Just the essence of a lullaby
Now I am a giant grain of sand
But I maybe slipping through your hand
Follow my colour coded world
And watch me find another pearl
It's a sound that I love
And it came from above
There's the sound of the sea
Are you following me?
Let's walk to the sound of distant shells
To a place where life would have no end
You'd be the mother of my pearls
If you follow me into my world
Back to a place where we'd be free
Where I love you and you love me
This is the colour of my world
Watch me find another pearl
Watch me find another pearl
She's really upset with me again
I didn't give her what she likes
I don't know what to tell her
Don't know what to say
Everything got funky last night
She was really bombed
And I was really blown away
Until I asked her what she wanted
And this is what she had to say:
A PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She gets a charge out of bein' so weird
Digs gettin' downright strange
But I can keep a handle on anything
Just this side of deranged
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She's so tough, as pure as the driven slush
And that's not jewelry she's talkin' about
It really don't cost that much
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she took it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace
She want a PEARL necklace

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
RUBY, are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tell me the sun is going down
Oh, RUBY, don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh RUBY, I still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and needs of a woman your age, really, I realize
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around
Oh RUBY, don't take your love to town
She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I heard its slams one hundred times before
And if I could move, I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh RUBY, don't take your love to town
Oh RUBY, for God's sake, turn around

Dang, that doesn't even look like Kenny Rogers! In my opinion, he was handsome in his later years, gray hair and pre face-lift!
While the music played you worked by candlelight
Those San Francisco nights
You were the best in town
Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
You turned it on the world
That's when you turned the world around
Did you feel like Jesus?
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
But yours was kitchen clean
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
Every A-Frame had your number on the wall
You must have had it all
You'd go to L.A. on a dare
And you'd go it alone
Could you live forever?
Could you see the day?
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?
Get along
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Now your patrons have all left you in the red
Your low rent friends are dead
This life can be very strange
All those Day-Glo freaks who used to paint the face
They've joined the human race
Some things will never change
Son, you were mistaken
You are obsolete
Look at all the white men on the street
Get along
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Get along, Kid Charlemagne
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get it all out of here
Is there gas in the car
Yes, there's gas in the car
I think the people down the hall
Know who you are
Careful what you carry
'Cause the man is wise
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
Get along
Get along, Kid Charlemagne, (get along)
Get along, Kid Charlemagne

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring DIAMONDS and rust
Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me DIAMONDS and rust
I've already paid

Chicago Green, talkin' 'bout Black Lebanese
A dirty room and a silver coke spoon

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me, she loves me
The lady loves me and it shows
In spite of the way she turns up her nose
I'm her ideal, her heart's desire
Under that ice she's burning like fire
She'd like to cuddle up to me
She's playing hard to get
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
The gentleman has savoir-faire
As much as an elephant or a bear
I'd like to take him for a spin
Back to the **** to visit his kin
He's got about as much appeal
As a soggy cigarette
The lady loathes him
But he doesn't know it yet
The lady's got a crush on me
The gentleman's crazy obviously
The lady's dying to be kissed
The gentleman needs a psychiatrist
I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake
Or play Russian roulette
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
She's falling fast, she's on the skids
Both of his heads are flipping their lids
Tonight she'll hold me in her arms
I'd rather be holding hydrogen bombs
Will someone tell this Romeo
I'm not his Juliet
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
She wants me like poison ivy
Needs me like a HOLE in the head
Everyone can see she's got it bad
He's mad!
The gentleman is an egotist
I'm simply aware, I'm hard to resist
He's one man I could learn to hate
How's about having dinner at eight
I'd rather dine with Frankenstein
In a moonlight tete-a-tete
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
Oh yes, she loves me
Dig that shrinking violet
Oh, she really loves me
Here's one gal you'll never get
She love, love, loves me
Would you like to make a bet?
I said, "The lady loves me"
The gentleman's all wet

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
Neath the black, the sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind, tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
Sometimes, far too long for snakes
In my shoes
Walking sleep
In my youth, I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come? (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come
Won't you come

I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox HOLE in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering
Matchbox HOLE in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure
Got a long way to go
I'm an ole poor boy, and I'm a
Long way from home
I'm an ole poor boy, and I'm a
Long way from home
I'll never be happy cause everything I've
Ever did was wrong
Well, if you don't want my peaches honey
Please don't shake my tree
Well, if you don't want my peaches honey
Please don't mess around my tree
I got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery
Well, let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
Well, let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here
Watch how your puppy dog runs
I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox HOLE in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox HOLE in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure
Got a long way to go
My name is Crash
Side winding I flash like a burning flare
Don't look away 'cause I'm already in there
I've been there wherever you stare
I've been there longer than you care to remember
Buried deep inside you
Now you must step to accept all the past behind you
Pain breeding pain and it's back again
Only the scars in your brain remain
So you look for a vent, you consent to escape
What's gone and now I'm on
From the nipple to the needle to the bottle
And you're never satisfied
For these crimes you must be tried
You can't hide 'cause I am reality
Your birthright is a world of insanity
Disconnected legacy and you will never see
An end to the global savagery
Continuing to feed your desire for more
But deep down you know the truth
You'll never find what you're looking for
It's gone and you can't buy it back
And now your senses are under attack
So you act automatic and turn
To the frantic nation of addicts
Reduced to the manic, false erratic
Solemn, doped up slaves
And servants of greed because you were
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into the age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Now I'm going all city with the master plan
I'm faster man and I'm about to tell you just who I am
I am the reality you can't escape
The visions recorded on disk and tape
The ****, the horror, the shame so familiar
My words fill you with dread and then kill you dead
Stone cold in your stride
I fill a hole in your soul around fifty miles wide
I'm the contradiction each time you speak
I keep you weakened, I get down at your feet
I am the part that you can never reconcile
You're right here but you're living in exile
Walking in cities of stone, the shadows groan
Thousands of people but you're all alone
In your own little zone like a drone
Working in hives all your lives, bowing down to the throne
The overlords made in your own image
Anesthetized you in the global village
Now you're finished, dependent, lost in a maze
You're dazed as you stare at the glowing blaze
Erased, your future pulses in a computer
I am you, now how'd that suit ya?
Inherited chaos now instilled as I willed
And now I just wait for the kill as they're
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Born into the age of panic
Into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
Into an age of panic
