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!

Walk TALL
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me
But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see
I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard
Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I started goin' places where the youngsters shouldn't go
I got to know the kind of girls it's better not to know
I fell in with a bad crowd and laughed and drank with them
Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I got in trouble with the law and I'm in prison now
Through these prison bars I see things so much different now
I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done
I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud to call me son
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in

I can’t find the lyrics online but the lyrics contain the words of the song title,
She long, she tall, she weeps like a willow tree
She long, she tall, she weeps like a willow tree
I seen her last night, she was weepin' to herself
Says John "I need lovin’ now, I need lovin' now
Johnny I need lovin', I need lovin’ now"
"Well I need lovin'" she told me, but I nobody but you
She long, she tall, she weep like a willow tree
Every time she love me, make my love come tumblin' down
I seen her last night, she was hangin' her head and cryin'
I seen her last night, she was hangin' her head and cryin'
She said "I need lovin' now, Johnny, I need lovin’ now"
Well you talkin’ about your woman
But you ought to see mine
She long, she tall, built like a willow tree
Lookie here now man, she's natural fine
She’s on the ball got everything I need
She's long and she tall, and she weep like a willow tree
Every time she love me, make my love come down
She long and she tall, she long and she tall
She long and she tall, weep like a willow tree
She long and she tall, she weep like a willow tree

When I was small, and Christmas trees were TALL
We used to love while others used to play
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Some one else moved in from far away
Now we are TALL, and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we'll cry come first of May
The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one
And I recall the moment of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine
Now we are TALL, and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we'll cry come first of May
When I was small, and Christmas trees were TALL
Do do do do do do do do do
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Some one else moved in from far away

don't need your sympathy
There's nothing you can say or do for me
And I don't want a miracle
You'll never change for no one
And I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it
Was she worth it?
'Cause I'm STRONG enough
To live without you
STRONG enough
And I quit crying
Long enough
Now I'm STRONG enough
To know
You gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath and
Walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm STRONG enough
To know
You gotta go
So you feel misunderstood
Baby, have I got news for you
On being used, I could write the book
But you don't wanna hear about it
'Cause I've been losing sleep
And you've been goin' cheap
And she ain't worth half of me it's true
Now I'm telling you
That I'm STRONG enough
To live without you
STRONG enough
And I quit crying
Long enough
Now I'm STRONG enough
To know
You gotta go
Come hell or waters high
You'll never see me cry
This is our last goodbye, it's true
I'm telling you
Now I'm STRONG enough
To live without you
STRONG enough
And I quit crying
Long enough
Now I'm STRONG enough
To know
You gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath and
Walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm STRONG enough to know
You gotta go
Now I'm STRONG enough
To live without you
STRONG enough
And I quit crying
Long enough
Now I'm STRONG enough
To know
You gotta go
(There's no more to say)
(So save your breath and)
(Walk away)
(No matter what I hear you say)
(I'm STRONG enough to know)
[Verse 1]
Another night in any town
You can hear the thunder of their cry
Ahead of their time
They wonder why
In the shadows of a golden age
A generation waits for dawn
Brave carry on
Bold and the STRONG
[Chorus]
Only the young can say
They're free to fly away
Sharing the same desires
Burning like wildfire
[Verse 2]
They are seeing through the promises
And all the lies they dare to tell
Is it heaven or hell?
They know very well
[Chorus]
Only the young can say
They're free to fly away
Sharing the same desires
Burning like wildfire
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Only the young can say
They're free to fly away
Sharing the same desires
Burning like wildfire
[Outro]
Only the young can say
Only the young can say (young can say)

I remember, my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mama had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it
"Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out 'cause the woman that you love has gone
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me get up off of your knees 'cause only the STRONG survive"
That's what she said
"Only the STRONG survive, only the STRONG survive
Oh, you've got to be STRONG, you'd better hold on
Don't go, all around with your head hung down"
Well, I wouldn't let that little girl
No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown
There's a whole lot a girls, lookin' for a good man like you
Oh, but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now
And say, your life is through
And she said it
"Only the STRONG survive, only the STRONG survive
Oh, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the STRONG survive, only the STRONG survive"
"Well, you've got to be STRONG, you'd better hold on
Only the STRONG survive, only the STRONG survive
Only the STRONG survive"
"Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the STRONG survive, only the STRONG survive
Only the STRONG survive, only the STRONG survive
Only the STRONG survive"
Frightened faces to the wall
Oh can't you hear your
Mama call?
The Brave and Strong Survive!
When you walk,
Know where you're walking.
When you talk
Know who you're talking to.
Brave and Strong Survive! Survive!
Out and Down
Ain't got a friend.
You don't know who turned You in.
The Brave and Strong, Survive!
Brave and Strong,
Survive!
Before me was a Cowboy star.
Indians!
And there you are.
The Brave and Strong, Survive!
The Brave and Strong, Survive Child!
Yeh Jones, Survive
There's not a street that you can walk.
You got to watch just who you're talkin' to.
They're out to get ya, can't turn your back on a smilin' face.
Next thing ya know, there ain't no trace of you.
And this I betcha...some people lose, and some folks win.
It's a matter of what they do.
Are you man enough...big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries,
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend.
Don't ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough...when the goin's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
There's no pretending it goes away.
With every step that you take...you pay your dues.
And I ain't lyin'.
You got to struggle to see the light.
How someone's lookin' to steal your right to choose.
And don't stop tryin'.
It's like a jungle outside the door,
and it's keepin' you so confused.
Are you man enough...big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries,
Are you gonna be around?
Gotta keep your eye on the passers-by.
Better watch your step!
'Cause ya never know where the knife will go,
and they ain't missed yet!
The strong survive, they stay alive,
They always cool,
But that they never teach you in school.
Are you man enough...big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries,
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend.
Don't ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough...when the goin' get's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
Are you man enough...big and bad enough? (Are you big & bad enough?)
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries,
Are you gonna be around?

Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleepy
I'll be there you hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and STRONG
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you my precious friend
So try and stand the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I'm there
So whistle down the wind
For I have always been
Right there
Oh yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I was the third brother of five
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
I'm not saying what I did was all right
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day-to-day fight
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
But I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester
Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
I got one more thing I'd like to talk to y'all about right now
Hey, brother, there's a better way out
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope, man, you're copping out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You got to be strong if you want to survive
The family on the upper side of town
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
In every city you'll find the same thing going down
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Help me sing it
Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Oh, across 110th Street
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all
In the street
Yes, you can
Oh, look around you, look around you
Look around you, look around you
Yeah
Yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Where is the spring and the summer
That once was yours and mine?
Where did it go?
I just don't know
But still my love for you will live forever
Hasta mañana, 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too STRONG to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta mañana, baby
Hasta mañana, until then
Where is the dream we were dreaming
And all the nights we shared?
Where did they go?
I just don't know
And I can't tell you just how much I miss you
Hasta mañana, 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too STRONG to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta mañana, baby
Hasta mañana, until then
Hasta mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta mañana, baby
Hasta mañana, until then
Until the twelfth of never
You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh, my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time

You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
UNTIL it's time for you to go
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
UNTIL it's time for you to go
Don't ask why
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me now
This love of mine
Had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak,
Now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And tho' I'll never
In my life see you again
I still stay
UNTIL it's time for you to go

I walk UNTIL, I walk on teardrops.
I walk until you grow.
I walk until, I walk on tip toes.
I feel like I'm starting down an endless road.
Le monde est-il,
Le monde est-il las?
Le monde est-il sot?
Le monde est-il pile ou face?
Le monde est-il sur play ou sur pause?
I walk until I'll stop myself but
I see the times change, but I remain...
I wake up by myself, go to sleep by myself.
Le monde est-il du haut de l'échelle
Aussi vaste qu'il en a l'air?
Le monde est-il un cadeau lancé au chaos?
Le monde est-il un ballon gorgé d'eau?
(Refrain)
I walk, until, est-il, le monde Le monde est-il, est-il de
glace?
Le monde est-il chaud?
I walk until, I walk on tip toes.
I walk until I understand it all.
Le monde est-il chaud?
Ce qui en est la cause?
I walk until, I walk on tip toes.
I walk until my body starts to flow.
And I have cheated myself but
I want to tell you what you see is never all.
Le monde est-il lui, ou est-il autre?
Le monde est-il le nôtre?
This time I'm gonna be myself I've gotta
Stand up when I feel down, when I feel down.
Le monde a-t-il une âme?
Laisse-t-il une trace sur le sable?

Oh yeah
A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by
Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town
Hovering silence from you is a giveaway
Squalor and smoke's not your style
I don't like this place
We better go
Then I compare notes with your older sister
I am a lazy git, she is as pure as the cold driven snow
What did you learn from your time in the solitary
Cell of your mind
There was noises, distractions from anything good
And the old prison food
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
'Cause anything's better than posh isolation
I missed the bus
You were laid on your back
With the boy with the arab strap
With the boy from the arab strap
It's something to speak of the way you are feeling
To crowds there assembled
Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
Everyone suffers in silence a burden
The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton
The Asian man
With his love hate affair
With his racist clientele
A central location for you is a must as you stagger
About making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts
We all know you're soft 'cause we've all seen you dancing
We all know you're hard 'cause we all saw you drinking
From noon until noon again
You're the boy with the filthy laugh
You're the boy with the arab strap
Strapped to the table with suits from the Shelter shop
Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches
And sets off the smoke alarm
What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
She's a waitress and she's got style
Sunday bathtime could take a while
Sound of silence .
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
Within the sound of silence

Oh don't it hurt deep inside
To see someone do something to her
Oh don't it pain to see someone cry
How especially if that someone is her
SILENCE is golden
But my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
Talking is cheap people follow like sheep
Even though there is no where to go
How could she tell he deceived her so well
Pity she'll be the last one to know
Silence is golden
But my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
How many times will she fall for his lines
Should I tell her or should I be cool
And if I tried I know she'd say I lied
Mind your business don't hurt her you fool
Silence is golden
But my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
But my eyes still see

I’m on a paradise wondering how I came here.
It turns into a beast after reality hits me.
Now I’m on my knees.
Now I’m on my knees…
Why I’m standing here?
It seems to me that nobody’s thinking about me.
I’m sailing the seven seas standing on an abandoned ship.
There’s no clothes in my wallet.
There’s no SILENCE in here.
I prefer being lonely, I prefer waiting here.
Now I’m feeling my insides.
Why I’m standing here?
It seems to me that nobody’s thinking about me.
Feeling rare in the window, going down through the world.
This is how I get to my soul.
I’m talking in the night.
I’m talking with your side.
I’m talking in the night.

A winter's day
In a deep and dark
December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen SILENT shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island
Don't talk of love
But I've heard the words 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
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
With 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
Court in session (oy, oy, oy!)
What do you mean 'oy oy oy,' me say court in session!
Order
My name is Judge Roughneck
And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom
Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me
And charged with smashing this woman's window
Before I sentence you
What have you got to say in your defense?
I was walking down the street one night
When I saw her silhouette in her bathroom light
Her way of life may be nothing to hide
With her frosted glass shattered, curtains open wide
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice suntan?
You live in a castle built of sand
Naked woman, naked man
Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed (oh, sure?)
But I can't stop the hatred running through my head
Silence in court
Order
Rude boy, you have led me to believe that you was going out with a girl
And she left you and married someone else
So you got drunk, and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property
I have come to one conclusion
That is to sentence you to five months in prison
Before they take you down to the cells
What have you got to say for yourself?
He wanted to be something but she knows he never will
She's got him where she wanted and forgot to take her pill
And he thinks that she'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies
If that's a happy marriage I'd prefer to be unhappy
Married woman, married man
Where did you get that family plan?
Mrs. Ewe and Mr. Ram
Where did you get that lovely lamb?
Naked woman, naked man (silence in my courtroom)
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (order in my courtroom)
Naked woman, naked man (I will have order in my coutroom)
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (hush up!)
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (hush up!)
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (hush up!)
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (hush up!)
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (order!)
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (order in my courtroom!)
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice sun tan?
Naked woman, naked man
Where did you get that nice sun tan? (take him away!)

Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 A.M. 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 the 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 that hurt out of all the pain
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

I don't want half-hearted love affairs
I need someone who really cares
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself I won't do that again
It's got to be PERFECT , it's got to be worth it, yeah
Too many people take second best
Well, I won't take anything less
It's got to be, yeah, perfect
Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes
They're much too eager to give their love away
Well, I have been foolish too many times
Now I'm determined, I'm gonna get it right
It's got to be perfect, it's got to be worth it, yeah
Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be, yeah, perfect
Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes
They're much too eager to give their love away
Well, I have been foolish too many times
Now I'm determined, I'm gonna get it right

Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be, yeah, perfect

This is my moment
This is my PERFECT moment with you
This is what God meant
This is my perfect moment with you
I wish I could freeze this space in time
The way I feel for you inside
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment with you
Tell me you love me when you leave
You're more than a shadow, that's what I believe
You take me to places I never dreamed I'd see
Minute by minute you are the world to me
I wish I could frame the look in your eyes
The way that i feel for you inside
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment with you
And if tomorrow brings a lonely day
Here and now i know I haven't lived in vain
I'll cry my tears in the rain
and if love never comes again
I can always say I've been
to paradise skies in your eyes... in your eyes
So tell me you love me the moment you leave
You're more than a shadow, I've just to believe
I wish I could keep you all of my life
The way that I feel for you inside
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment with you
This is my moment
This is my perfect moment
With you, with you..
Just a perfect day
Drink Sangria in the p@rk
And then later
When it gets dark, we go home
Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the z00
Then later
A movie, too, and then home
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun
Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was
Someone else, someone good
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You're going to reap just what you sow

I want to tell you something
It's not a secret or anything
You're not alone in being alone
At the end of a PERFECT day
And if you leave all your dependants
Then they will gain their independence
Don't make a martyr of yourself
It's just the end of a PERFECT day
And it's never how it seems
The rain may fall on the best laid schemes
But in a written testimonial I'd say
I never really knew you anyway
I want to tell you something
Now don't go crazy or anything
Just want to tell you that it's over
It's the end of a PERFECT day
Do you want sign language?
Don't want a knuckle sandwich!
Now you can love or you can hate it's just
The end of a PERFECT day
You can't get inside someone
So don't ask me if we're close
I really couldn't tell you
But I know you wouldn't really listen anyway
It's a pain you have to bear
And it's always going to be there
But if you disappeared tomorrow
Then the world would carry on without you anyway
Mind over matter it seems
Can stop you falling apart at the seams
It's a matter of honour with me
I could write out a hundred times
Put my hand on my heart and say
That I don't want to lie
Don't want to lie
Don't want to lie
About the way it is
I want to tell you something
Don't act surprised now or anything
Now you can revel in yourself 'cause
It's just the end of a PERFECT day
No it's not a pretty world out there
With people dying of their own despair
But in a written testimonial you'd say
You never really knew them anyway

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we're living
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let DIE
(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)
What does it matter to you?
When you got a job to do
You got to do it well
You got to give the other fellow hell
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we're living
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)

Well, my daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and a empty bottle of booze
Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue
Well, he musta thought that was quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk
It seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean
My fist got hard and my wits got keen
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
I'd search the honkytonks and bars
And kill that man that give me that awful name
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealin' stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn out picture that my mother'd had
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent, and gray and old
And I looked at him, and my blood ran cold
And I said, "My name is Sue! How do you do?
Now you gonna DIE
Yeah! That's what I told him
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise
He come up with a knife, and cut off a piece of my ear
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kickin' and a' gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
And he went for his gun and I pulled mine first
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along
So I give you that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or DIE
And it's that name that helped to make you strong"
Yeah, he said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do
But you oughtta thank me, before I DIE
For the gravel in your guts and the spit in the eye
'Cause I'm the son of-a bitch that named you Sue
Yeah, what could I do? What could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
I called him my pa, and he called me his son
And I come away with a different point of view
And I think about him now and then
Every time I try and every time I win
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George any damn thing but Sue
I still hate that name
Yeah

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and DIE
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret
You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply,
As time goes by . . .
An' when two lovers woo, they still say "I love you,"
On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings,
As time goes by . . .
Moonlight an' love songs never out of date,
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' hate,
Woman needs man and man must have his mate,
That no one can deny . . .
It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .
It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .
When I first met the lil' girl
I didn't know what I was doin'
Now we're all tied up
And my life is ruined!
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm too young to die!
She's a cute lil' girl
She got such a wonderful mug
When she starts to talkin'
Her voice busts a stone jug
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
Because I'm too young to die! Oh, yeah!
We had a date and I couldn't make it
That's what made her mad
Now I'm lookin' at two brown eyes
They turned greenish, grey
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
Because I'm too young to die!
I called my baby
And I told her I would be late
Time my baby opened the door
I looked in the barrel of a .38
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
Cause I'm too young to die!
One, two, three and I come with the redneck style
Because you know I get paid by the mile, like Avis
I pave this, Fast save this, everybody smile
And act gracious
See I rob banks, I pull pranks, sometimes I eat
Franks and knishes,best wishes, I'm vicious and here
I am again like CNN. Delivery my friend
Stick 'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Stick 'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Yes we bug a lot and my friends is loud and
I'm more freaky than Disco 2000
I scream, I yell, I bark, I bite
I'll hit you with an egg on a hot summer night
I never let the cops get wind of me
I never ever ever say die
I never take myself too seriously
Cause everybody knows fat birds don't fly
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Means with the green, murder on your spleen
Living in a dream do you know what I mean
Goateed indeed, smart like John Steed
I'll steal your girlie and I'll steal your weed
I got so much flavor. . .I always leave you chewin'
I got so many styles you think I'm from the U.N
I broke into the White House and never got caught
And I'd be Neil Armstrong if I was an astronaut
We're always optimistic about human relations
We've got more friends than my man Peter Gatien
We're always fun loving, so don't start bugging
If your girlie comes up and starts kissing and hugging
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
Stick'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal
