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!

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten, " you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah dah dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey) a little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart
You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah dah dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?

Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But WILL you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic in your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow

Take me as I am
Put your hand in mine now and forever
Darling here I stand, stand before you now
Deep inside I always knew
It was you, you and me
Two hearts drawn together bound by destiny
It was you and you for me
Every road leads to your door
Every step I take forever more
Just say you'll love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lot of love and I don't want to let go
WILL you still love me for the rest of my life?
Cause I can't go on
No, I can't go on
I can't go on
If I'm on my own
Take me as I am
Put your heart in mine, stay with me forever
'cause I am just a man who never understood
I never had a thing to prove
Till there was you
You and me
Then it all came clear so suddenly
How close to you that I want to be
Just say you'll love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lot of love and I don't want to let go
WILL you still love me for the rest of my life?
Cause I can't go on
No, I can't go on
I can't go on
If I'm on my own
Do you believe a love could run so stong?
Do you believe a love could pass you by?
There was no special one for me
I was the lovely one, you see
But then my heart lost all control
Now you're all that I know
Just say you'll love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lot of love and I don't want to let go
WILL you still love me for the rest of my life?
Cause I can't go on
No, I can't go on
I can't go on
If I'm on my own

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age,
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking,
Till I've spent my wage.
When I was young people spoke of immorality,
All the things they said were wrong,
Are what I want to be.

Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
WILL I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will
I will

You say you WILL love me
If I have to go
You'll be thinking of me
Somehow I will know
Someday when I'm lonely
Wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember
Things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl
'Til the end of time
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
The things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is luck
And, though we may be blind
Love is here to stay
And that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say

I'd like to crawl inside you
so I can die to haunt and infect you
epitomizes the effect you've had on me
I WILL eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I'd like to lick the wall of your large intestine
and snoop around at what you've been ingesting
I'm nosediving into your pancreas
you've really pickled yourself is my educated guess
but this is just the beginning
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I'd like to cut off your face so I can just get a kiss
you've been a really, really bad boy
God damn you for resisting me
I mean your blue eyes are really nice
but will they taste as sweet as they look
dipped in your blood it'll be my after dinner drink
oh God I'm so glad that I met you
and now
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart WILL go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart WILL go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart WILL go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart WILL go on and on

You will you won't
You do you don't
You're saying you will
But you know you won't
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night
While your thinking, thinking, thinking up a storm in you
All the things you're thinking, are they false, are they true
You know the dipsy doodle rag, it tells no lie
But all the time you're thinking, well you're tricking your mind
You will you won't
You do you don't
You're saying you will
But you know you won't
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night
Well the devil's standing tall on the top of the hill
Pointing down his fork and betraying your will
You gotta make decisions whether old or new
Then god comes from the heavens and he'll say it to you
You will you won't
You do you don't
You're saying you will
But you know you won't
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night
Well I've tried so hard
I've tried so hard
To make it right
To make it right
I'm gonna bury my thoughts
And forget all my worries
Tonight
You will you won't
You do you don't
You're saying you will
But you know you won't
You may you might
Your chest gets tight
You say you love day
But you come out at night
Find the shadows cast by rainbows. There, you’ll meet the sage
Feeding rabbits bits of lettuce or cleaning out the cage
He can give you more direction than you’ve ever known
Show you your bronzed baby shoes. Now, my how you have grown
Ain’t it nice to fly? You’re waving as soft clouds go by
But peace won’t be still of its own free will
Say you want to go exploring, you got to find some truth
You can’t stand one more day of Christians shouting down at you
You say you don’t dig politics—that never was your bag
People who could run for office wave their private flags
Ain’t it nice to fly? You’re waving as soft clouds go by
But peace won’t be still of its own free will
Ain’t it nice to fly? You’re waving as soft clouds go by
But peace won’t be still of its own free will
Got out of town on a boat for the Southern Islands
Sailing to reach before a following 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 got eighty feet of waterline, nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
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 looking for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it WILL
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 coming 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 I have left and music is her name
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' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it WILL
And you know it WILL
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 and the Southern Cross

(one of my favourite intros of all time!)
Standing in the bog of a west end bar
Guy on the right leaning over too far
Money in my pocket gonna put it in the slot
Open up the pack see what type I got
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, protex blue
All I want to do
It's a fab protective for that type of a girl
But everybody knows that she uses it well
It's a therapeutic structure I can use at WILL
But I don't think it fits my V.D. bill
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, protex blue
All I want to do
Protex, protex blue
All I want to do
Sitting in the carriage of a bakerloo
Erotica my pocket, got a packet for you
Advert on the escalator on my way home
I don't need no skin flicks, I want to be alone
I didn't want to hold you
I didn't want to use you
Protex, protex blue
All I want to do, ooh, ooh, ooh
Johnny, Johnny!
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like
Coca Cola
C-O-L-A Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said, "Little boy, won't you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes
Well, I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her, and she at me
Well, that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Girls WILL be boys, and boys WILL be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
Except for Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'd left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man"
Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin
And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
4, 5, 6, 7
(Get to heaven)
I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I can't, and I can't come down
I can watch but not take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X will mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who WILL not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes
WILL you join in our crusade?
Who WILL be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That WILL give you the right to be free
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who WILL not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes
WILL you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some WILL fall and some WILL live
WILL you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
WILL water the meadows of France
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who WILL not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes

If I could I'd like to be, a great big movie star
Overnight sensation, drive a big expensive car
I would buy you everything your little heart desires
These things I do, 'cause I'm STONE in love with you
If I were a business man, I'd sit behind a desk
I'd be so successful, I would scare wall street to death
I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know
I did it all, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I'm just a man, an average man
Doing everything the best I can
But if I could, I'd give the world to you
I'd like to someday be the owner of
The first house on the moon
There would be no neighbors, and no population boom
You might say that all I do is dream my life away
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love for you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love for you
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' STONE
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' STONE
You're trying to make your mark in society
You're using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all them high-fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearing, girl, they're causing public scenes
I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' STONE
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' STONE
Not your steppin' STONE
Not your steppin' STONE
When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes
But, now you're walking around like you're front-page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But, you won't find my name in your book of "who's-who?"
I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' STONE
(No, girl, not me!)
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' STONE
Not your steppin' STONE
I'm not your steppin' STONE

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son
Papa was a rolling STONE
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Papa was a rolling stone (my son, yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that
Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard some talk Papa doing some storefront preachin'
Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin'
Dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the Lord
Momma just hung her head and said
Papa was a rolling stone (my son)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Papa was a rolling stone (dad gumma it)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Momma
I heard Papa called himself a jack-of-all-trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son
Papa was a rolling stone (well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone (lone, lone, lone, alone)
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
My daddy was
Papa was a rolling stone (yes he was, yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home)

Black or white, you turn it on, you face the new religion
Everybody's sitting 'round watching television

I'm up and down the Westway, in and out the lights
What a great traffic system, it's so bright
I can't think of a better way to spend the night
Than speeding around underneath the yellow lights

This one leads to this block, this one leads to that

Well, they'll STONE you when you're trying to be so good
They'll STONE you just like they said they would
They'll STONE you when you're trying to go home
And they'll STONE you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get STONED
Well, they'll STONE you when you're walking on the street
They'll STONE you when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll STONE you when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll STONE you when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get STONED
They'll STONE you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll STONE you when you are young and able
They'll STONE you when you're tryin' to make a buck
Then they'll STONE you and then they'll say "good luck"
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get STONED
Well, they'll STONE you and say that it's the end
Then they'll STONE you and then they'll come back again
They'll STONE you when you're riding in your car
They'll STONE you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get STONED alright
Well, they'll STONE you when you walk all alone
They'll STONE you when you are walking home
They'll STONE you and then say you are brave
They'll STONE you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get STONED

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling STONE
Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ah you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To have on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
🍇 Low hanging 🍇I know.
Ay ay ay ay ay
She's stone cold bush, yeah
And baby that's alright
She's stone cold bush, yeah
And that's alright with me
Get up off your knees, come on walk with me
Tell me what you need to get along
A statue come to live
I cut you with my knife
Bleeding to the tune of dolly dagger
She's stone cold bush
She's stone cold bush
Ay ay ay ay ay
Haight street's got nothing to show
Except the skirt on your ass
When you're living on the streets
You've got to let it roll
Get on with what you've got
Aw, everybody knows that it's alright
You've got no secrets to tell
But when you smoke that rock and suck that cock
You do it oh so well
She's stone cold bush
She's stone cold bush
She's stone cold bush, yeah
And baby that's alright
She's stone cold bush, yeah
And that's alright with me
Sweet China doll, her thighs
An animal in pain, she starts to cry
Her pipes are open wide
She blows more than my mind
Echo sounds of soul
Time after time
She's stone cold bush
She's stone cold bush
The city streets are empty now
(The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low
A sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive
(In my blue world)
I turn to STONE when you are gone
I turn to STONE
I turn to STONE, when you comin' home
I can't go on
The dying embers of a night
(A fire that slowly fades 'till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright (turning, turning)
The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
In my blue world
I turn to STONE when you are gone
I turn to STONE
I turn to STONE, when you comin' home
I can't go on
Turn to STONE when you are gone
I turn to STONE
Yes, I'm turnin' to STONE
'Cause you ain't coming home
Why ain't you comin' home
If I'm turnin' to STONE
You've been gone for so long
And I can't carry on
Yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin'
I'm turnin' to STONE
The dancing shadows on the wall
(The two-step in the hall)
Are all I see since you've been gone (turning, turning)
Through all I sit here and I wait
(I turn to STONE, I turn to STONE)
You will return again some day
To my blue world
I turn to STONE when you are gone
I turn to STONE
I turn to STONE, when you comin' home
I can't go on
I turn to STONE when you are gone
I turn to STONE
I turn to STONE when you are gone
I turn to STONE
Turn to STONE, when you comin' home
I can't go on
I turn to STONE when you are gone
I turn to STONE

Everyday in the week, I'm in a different city
If I stay too long, the people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog, talk about the clothes I wear
But they don't realize they're the ones who's square
Hey, and that's why you can't hold me down
I don't want to be down
I got to move on
Aw!
Hey, and that's why, listen to me baby, you can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I got to be free
Aw!
I said
Stone free, to do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to get away
Yeah, aw
Turn me loose baby
Yeah, aw!
Uh huh, yeah!
I said
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, to do what I please
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to, got to get away
Stone free, to do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to get away right now
Yeah, alright
Listen to this baby
A woman here, a woman there, try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't realize it's so easy to break
Oh but sometimes I can, ha
I can feel my heart kind of running hot
That's when I got to move, before I get caught

Beneath the white fire of the moon
Love's wings are broken all too soon
We never learn
Hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was a heart of stone
We turn the wheel, and break the chain
Put steel to steel, and laugh at pain
We're dreamers in castle's made of sand
The road to Eden's overgrown
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was a heart of STONE
Look at the headlines
Big crowd at the crazy house
Long cue for the joker's shoe
Ten rounds in the ring with love
Do you lose and win
Or win and lose
Sweet rain, like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow)
Caress my soul and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow)
Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was a heart of stone
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
Get the picture
No room for the innocent
Peak season in lonely town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up
Or up and down
I ask the river for a sign
(In a dream, we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine
(In a dream, diamonds are forever
But you and I, hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes
Wish you heart was a heart of stone
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was made of stone
Well, I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in a oh, deep, blue sea
I would have all you good looking women
Fishing, fishing after me
Sure enough, a-after me
Sure enough, a-after me
Oh enough, oh enough, sure enough
I went to my baby's house
And I sit down oh, on her steps
She said, "Come on in now, Muddy
You know my husband just now left"
Sure enough, he just now left
Sure enough, he just now left
Oh enough, oh well, oh well
Well, my mother told my father
Just before hmmm, I was born
"I got a boy child's comin'
Gonna be, he's going to be a rolling stone"
Sure enough, he's a rolling stone
Sure enough, he's a rolling stone
Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a
Well, I feel, yes I feel
Feel that I could lay down oh, time isn't long
I'm gonna catch the first thing smoking
Back, back down the road, I'm going
Back down the road, I'm going
Back down the road, I'm going
Sure enough back, sure enough back

There's been so many girls that I've known
I've made so many cry, and still I wonder why
Here comes a little girl, I see her walking down the street
She's all by herself, I try and knock her off her feet
But she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of STONE
What's different about her I don't really know
No matter how I try, I just can't make her cry
'Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, no, this heart of stone
Don't keep on looking that same old way
If you try acting sad, you'll only make me glad
Better listen little girl, if you going walking down the street
I ain't got no love, I ain't the kind to meet
'Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, you'll never break this heart of stone darling
No no this heart of stone
You'll never break it darling
You won't break this heart of stone oh no no no
You better go, you better go home
'Cause you'll, you'll never break this heart of stone
You better, you better drive on home
Girl, the first time we met
You took me by surprise
Ooh, girl you walked into my life
With those street corner blues
You were livin' in the fast lane
Much to my surprise baby
But I fell for you, anyway
I'm addicted to your love girl, hey
STONE love (solid as a rock)
I'm in love with you baby, STONE love
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, solid as a rock)
Girl, our love is so unique
It's one of a kind
And girl, whenever we kiss
It's like a natural high
But we're livin' in the fast lane
Red lights flashing baby
Will we ever change the way we are
STONE love girl, oh
STONE love
(Solid as a rock)
STONE Love
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, solid as a rock)
The life we live is a challenge, mmm
Always standing on the edge
May not be the best way but that's all we know
'Cause I don't wanna live my life alone, no
Oh, STONE love baby, cause I've got you
Yes I've got you got you under my skin
Hey, STONE love (solid as a rock)
That's the way we are, baby
Hey, STONE love (solid as a rock)
May not be the best way but that's all we know
'Cause I don't wanna live my life alone, no
La, la, la, la STONE love, STONE love
You are everything I've ever wanted, baby

OPEN your eyes
I'm hoping you rise
Open your eyes
To a love revealing
Come so far out just to start
It don't matter how smart you are
The love that can't resolve
Is a love revealing
Open your eyes
I'm hoping you rise
Open your eyes
Let the light come in
Open your eyes
Eddie waited til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
[Chorus:]
Into the great wide OPEN
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide OPEN
A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the chart
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single."
The future was wide OPEN
[Chorus]

The Keys to the vaults of heaven
May be buried somewhere in a prayer
The Keys to the vaults of heaven
May be heavy or lighter than air
OPEN up the vaults
OPEN up the vaults
We've got to find the keys
The nights have been growing darker
Even darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
The treasures are there within
The keys to the vaults of heaven
May be seen in a pure child's eyes
The keys to the vaults of heaven
May be heard in our desperate cries
Open up the vaults
Open up the vaults
We've got to find the keys
The nights have been growing darker
Even darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
The glories are there within
The Keys to the vaults of heaven
May be buried somewhere in a prayer
The Keys to the vaults of heaven
May be heavy or lighter than air
We've got to find the keys
We've got to find the keys
To open up the vaults
The nights have been growing darker
They're so much darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
The answers are there within
We've got to find the keys
We've got to find the keys
To open up the vaults
The nights have been growing darker
They're so much darker now than sin
We'll open the vaults of heaven
The answers are there within
Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are
By my side
So now I come to you
With OPEN arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With OPEN arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
OPEN arms
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you
With OPEN arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With OPEN arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
OPEN arms

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
OPEN your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama, ooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows),
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o.
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go)
Oh oh oh oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.
(Ooooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
Any way the wind blows...

Watch out!
I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me want to hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me
OPEN your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
OPEN your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, I've got something to say
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to
OPEN your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
OPEN your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
OPEN your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number
Ah, ah, ah, ah
OPEN your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

OPEN your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
