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!
Hotel California - THE EAGLES
only registered users can see external links
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin' to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here"
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz, uh
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here
Since 1969"
And still those voices are callin'
From far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis"
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice, and she said
"We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"
All The Gold In California ~ THE GATLIN BROTHERS

All the gold in California
Is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else's name.
So if you're dreamin' about California,
It don't matter at all where you've played before.
California's a brand-new game.
Tryin' to be a hero, winding up a zero,
Can scar a man forever right down to your soul.
Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright
'Cause everything that glitters is not gold.
All the gold in California
Is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else's name.
So if you're dreamin' about California,
It don't matter at all where you've played before.
California's a brand-new game.

Well, East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls, with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel all right
And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be CALIFORNIA

The West Coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned

By a palm tree in the sand

Baby what do you say we just get lost
Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause
I've got people in Boston, ain't your daddy still in Des Moines
We can pack tomorrow, tonight let's flip a coin
Heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where don't matter long as we're goin'
Somewhere together, I got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We can load what we own in the back of a U-Haul van
Couple modern day Moses' searchin' for the promised land
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas
Hey, we'll drive for a day and then we'll take a look at the map
Heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where don't matter long as we're goin'
Somewhere together, I got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We're gonna get outta here if we gotta ride a greyhound bus
Boy, we're bound to outrun the bad luck that's tailin' us

Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where don't matter long as we're goin'
Somewhere together, I got a quarter

I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so fine
My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was goin' to show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool and I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the line
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Well, you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time
Well, there I was in Hollywood wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' time
Well, then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it

Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper, and her mama was a hippy
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you got to pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?
Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana
Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner
Rebel, and a stunner
On her merry way saying baby, watcha gonna?
Looking down the barrel of a hot metal forty-five
Just another way to survive
CALIFORNIA, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
CALIFORNIA, show your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She's a lover, baby, and a fighter
Should've seen it coming when I got a little brighter
With a name like Dani CALIFORNIA
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded, she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death
CALIFORNIA, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
CALIFORNIA, show your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew that others died to prove?
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say, say, say
Pushed the fader, gifted animator
One for the now, and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man
Wasn't gunnin' for the quota
Down in the Badlands she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast
CALIFORNIA, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
CALIFORNIA, show your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah, yeah
CALIFORNIA, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
CALIFORNIA, show your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to CALIFORNIA with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same
Oh, the sea was red, and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun began to awake (watch out)
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose, and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high
To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems, mm...
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can't forget
From sundown to sunset
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna grab a hold on you
California soul, California soul
They say the sun comes up every morning
And if you listen oh so carefully
The winds that ride on the high tide
Whistles a melody
And so the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth I'm told
To California soul, California soul
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you've got to move
Cause it's really such a groove
Puts a brand new kind of thinking in your mind
And you can't go wrong
Cause you're groovin' all day long
California soul, California soul
They had the melody and the beat
But it still didn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissin'
They knew just what was missin'
So happy they were rockin' and reelin'
Because they added that lovin' feeling
To California soul, California soul
California soul
California
California
California
Well, I've been lookin' real hard
And I'm tryin' to find a job
But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day
But I got to do my part
'Cause I know in my heart
I got to please my sweet baby, yeah
Well, I ain't superstitious
And I don't get suspicious
But my woman is a friend of mine
And I know that it's true
That all the things that I do
Will come back to me in my sweet time
So keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern CALIFORNIA
Where the girls are warm
So I could be with my sweet baby, yeah
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Baby, baby, baby

Are gonna come back to you in your sweet time

All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.

… Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
… Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind
… 'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a NATURAL woman
… When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it
… Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
… And you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
… Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive
… And you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
… You know you, you make me feel
You know you make me feel like a natural woman
You know you make me
You make me
You make me feel
You know you make me feel

You know you
You know you make me feel like a natural woman

Why I'm standin' here today
Preachin' natural born woman blues
Well, she's a natural born woman
Well, yeah, natural born woman
Well, yeah, natural born woman
Well, I'm looking out my back door, wonderin' which place to go
Think I'll move on down to Memphis

It's so natural the way you touch me
So natural the way you run your fingers through my hair
It's so natural the way you make me feel like I'm a lady
It's so natural the way you care
It's so natural
When I feel low. you pull me higher
You warm me up, set me on fire
Well there's no way in this world
I could ever be without you
You come home, and I am waiting for you
To come over and give me hungry kisses
Of love, of love, so true
And there's no way in this world
I could ever be without you
With hands so warm, you touch my very soul
You pull me closer, so I won't feel the cold
Just love, love, your love, so true
And there's no way in this world
I could ever be without you
Swimming in the love you give me
It's so natural
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act NATURALLY
Well, I'll bet you I'ma gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can't never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you come to see me in the movie
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act NATURALLY
We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsin'
All I'll have to do is act NATURALLY
Well, I'll bet you I'ma gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can't never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star

Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time

When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand
It's only NATURAL
But why did it have to be me?
Nights can be empty and nights can be cold
So you were looking for someone to hold
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me
Men are the toys in the game that you play
When you get tired, you throw them away
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
Falling in love with a woman like you
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
It's only natural
Why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, NATURALLY
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that
There are more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do
What do we do
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
NO ONE knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
NO ONE knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
NO ONE knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
NO ONE bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
Mm, mm
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
NO ONE knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

I've been a rock and I've got my fences
I never let them down
When it comes to love, I keep my senses
I don't get kicked around
I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now
I'm outta control
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like-
No one could love me like you
You can make me want you
Any time you want to
You're burning me alive
I can't deny you
Even when I catch you
Weaving a weak alibi
'Cause when the night falls
You make me forget
Your love is killing me
And it ain't over yet
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like-
No one could love me like you
I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now
I'm outta control
How did you get to me?

No one could love me like-

Looking back at all the good times
We once shared, I must have been blind
Just to think I'd find someone new
One who'd love me better than you
Well, it may come as a surprise
Loneliness has opened my eyes
I tried every love I could find
Still, I can't get you out of my mind
'Cause there's no one in the world to hold me
No ONE in the world's that moves me
No one in the world who loves me like you do, eh
Every time I'm with someone
I'm loving you and I wanna run
I wanna run back to your arms again
Ain't no one in the world
Loves me like you do
Are you happy now with your life?
Well, for me, I'm breaking inside
So self-assured that I couldn't see
I had it all when you were with me, now baby
No one in the world should hold me
No one in the world that move me
No one in the world who loves me like you do, babe
Every time I'm with someone
I'm loving you and I want to run
I wanna run back to your arms again
No one in the world, loves me like you do
Please take me back, I can't go on everything
I'm not happy in my life without you
I'll do whatever it takes to have you with me again
See, I realize I need you so, in my life, yeah
No one in the world can hold me
No one in the world can move me (ooh, ooh)
No one in the world can love me like you do, oh
Every time I'm with someone
Loving you and I know where it'll end up (ooh, ooh)
No one in the world can love me like you do, oh
No one in the world can hold me
No one in the world can move me
No one in the world can love me like you do, oh
Every time I'm with someone
Loving you and I know where it'll end up (ooh, ooh)
No one in the world can love me like you do, oh
No one in the world can hold me

No one in the world can love me like you do, oh

Loving you and I know where it'll end up
No one in the world can -

Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing NO ONE nice again
Like you, mama
You, mama
You
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
(If we ever get out of here)
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
"I hope you're having fun."
Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run
For the band on the run, band on the run
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run
Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run
Yeah, the band on the run
The band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run
Well, the night was falling
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found
Band on the run, band on the run
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for ever more
For the band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run

Downtown tonight I saw an old friend
Someone who I use to take comfort from long before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
NO ONE can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
NO ONE can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
Old flames can't hold a candle to you

I used to come home each night to NO ONE - NO ONE
All by myself, turn out the light - NO ONE - NO ONE
One knife, a fork 'n' a spoon
An empty bed in a cold room
Oooh I needed someone - maybe you could help
I called you up, I said "There's NO ONE, baby there's NO ONE else"
No one ever looked twice at me - NO ONE - NO ONE
Take a look at my life - what do you see - NO ONE - NO ONE
Kinda nervous 'n' jealous too - I lose me if I lose you
Just when I was feeling sorry for myself
She called me back, she said, "There's NO ONE, baby there's NO ONE else"
With NO ONE to call you - with NO ONE rootin' for you
With NO ONE to adore you - you'd be lost and alone
With NO ONE to kiss you - with NO ONE to miss you
And always be with you - you would turn into stone
I've been waiting for the longest time
To hold your hand on Sunday
Oooh I needed someone - I saw you and I fell
I called you up, I said, "There's NO ONE - and I'll never want anyone else"
Baby there's NO ONE else
Baby there's NO ONE else
Baby there's NO ONE else
Baby there's NO ONE else
For No one - The Beatles

Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for NO ONE
A love that should have lasted years
You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her
When she says her love is dead
You think she needs you
And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone
But now he's gone, she doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her
And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try, try to divide, something so real
So 'til the end of time, I'm telling you there ain't
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feelin'
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Bein' under that spell

Down in the street, they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone on your bed
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted, but NONE of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it, but you know your fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted, but NONE of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted, but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me NONE, in my eyes, you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love, you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover, and mother, what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning, kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't wanna be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playin' pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway
Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Well you better listen my sisters and brothers
'Cause if you do you can hear
There are voices still calling across the years
And they're all crying across the ocean
And they're crying across the land
And they will till we all come to understand
None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, one of us are chained
None of us are free
And there are people still in darkness
And they just can't see the light
If you don't say it's wrong then that says it right
We got try to feel for each other
Let our brothers know that we care
Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear
None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, one of us are chained
None of us are free
It's a simple truth we all need, just to hear and to see
None of us are free, one of us is chained
None of us are free, now I swear your salvation isn't too hard too find
None of us can find it on our own
We've got to join together in spirit, heart and mind
So that every soul who's suffering will know they're not alone
None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, one of us are chained
None of us are free
If you just look around you
You're gonna see what I say
'Cause the world is getting smaller each passing day
Now it's time to start making changes
And it's time for us all to realize
That the truth is shining real bright right before our eyes
None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, one of us are chained
None of us are free

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like

When people listen to you, don't you know it means a lot?
'Cause you've got to work so hard for everything you've got
Can't rest on your laurels now
Not when you've got NONE
You'll find yourself in a gutter

We all need the security that belonging brings
Can't stand on your own in these times
Against all the odds
You all just fall behind like all the other sods
You slap our backs and pretend you knew about
All the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do
When it's over?
You're on your own now, don't you think that's a shame?
But you're the only one responsible to take the blame

Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?

On a warm summer's eve
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 me 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 faced lost all expression
He 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 finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And 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'

My father sits at night with no lights on
His CIGARETTE glows in the dark.
The living room is still;
I walk by, no remark.
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines.
I hear her call sweet dreams,
But I forgot how to dream.
But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me -
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
You want to marry me, we'll marry.
My friends from college they're all married now;
They have their houses and their lawns.
They have their silent noons,
Tearful nights, angry dawns.
Their children hate them for the things they're not;
They hate themselves for what they are-
And yet they drink, they laugh,
Close the wound, hide the scar.
But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me -
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
You want to marry me, we'll marry.
You say we can keep our love alive
Babe - all I know is what I see -
The couples cling and claw
And drown in love's debris.
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds,
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf -
I'll never learn to be just me first
By myself.
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me -
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
You want to marry me, we'll marry,
We'll marry.

… Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
… Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
… I'd smoked my mind the night before
With CIGARETTES and songs I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking
… Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone's fryin' chicken
And Lord it took me back to something that I lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way
… On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
… And there's nothin' short of dyin'
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalks
And Sunday morning coming down
… In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin' little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing
… Then I headed down the street
And somewhere far away, a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons
Like a disappearing dreams of yesterday
… On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
… And there's nothin' short of dyin'
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleepin' city sidewalks
And Sunday morning coming down
'The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
I smoked my first CIGARETTE at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young
When I was young
When I was young
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
And I was so much older then
When I was young

I'd been standing on a corner
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last CIGARETTE
And the clock in the window
At a quarter to eleven
I was watching all the people
Passing by me going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all that I could see were faces
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
The love it found us on that corner
At a quarter to eleven
I thought you were to good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in Heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before
My cup of love is overflowing
Because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
The way my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be strangers no more

CIGARETTES
I'm all alone
With my smoke and ashes
CIGARETTES
I'm all alone
With my smoke and ashes
Take me night-flying
Maybe
Mars has good news
Who?
Who am I?
I am the blues
Sooth me
Horn's warm red love making
Funky music
Move me
Night wind, red taillights
And funky music
'Cause I'm restless
In my love for sale shoes
Who?
Who am I?
I am the blues
In a world of war
I can't find my laughter
I can't see the night sun
And I can't see my freedom
I guess I can't see too much
No more
Baby till I lose my blues
Fly
Through the sky
Like Superfly
Over the stars
We climb
Over the sweet red wine
I tell myself
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on... blues
Flying so high
A plane in the sky
Listen to, listen to, listen to the music of the night wind
Listen
To the music of the night wind
Listen
To the music of the night wind
Listen to the people
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

A CIGARETTE that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
Still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words
That told you what my heart meant
A fair ground painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of march that made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
All the old paintings on the tombs,
They do the sand dance,
Don't you know?
If they move too quick
They're falling down like a domino.
All the bazaar men by the Nile,
They got the money on a bet.
Gold crocodiles they snap their teeth
On your CIGARETTE.
Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
Walk like an Egyptian.
The blond waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor;
They've got the moves.
You drop your drink then they bring you more.
All the school kids so sick of books,
They like the punk and the metal band.
When the buzzer rings,
They're walking like an Egyptian.
All the kids in the marketplace say:
Walk like an Egyptian.
Slide your feet up the street
Bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back.
Life's hard you know
So strike a pose on a Cadillac.
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop.
They sing and dance
They spin the clubs cruise down the block.
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know
They walk the line like Egyptian.
All the cops in the donut shop say:
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian.

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no (uh-uh)
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
And that CIGARETTE you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son (oh, yeah!)
The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend, she's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is, I don't wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, ("That ain't the way to have fun, son")
("That ain't the way to have fun, no")
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, told me, told me
Mama told me
Oh, yeah
Mama told me, not to go...
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no (look at you)
That ain't the way to have fun, son
Listen to mama, listen to me baby
Mama told me, not to go...
That ain't the way to have fun, no (yeah!)
That ain't the way to have fun, son (somebody tell 'em)
That ain't the way to have fun, no (mama)
That ain't the way to have fun, son

Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another CIGARETTE
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves (yeah)
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really wanna stay here
All night, all night, all night

It's early in the morning
About a quarter 'til three
I'm sitting here talking with my baby
Over CIGARETTES and coffee, now
And to tell you that
Darling I've been so satisfied
Honey, since I met you
Baby, since I met you
All the places that I've been around
And all the good looking girls I've met
They just don't seem to fit in
Knowing it's particularly sad, yeah
But it seems so natural, darling
That you and I are here
Just talking over CIGARETTES and drinking coffee
And oh, my heart cries out
Love at last I've found you, oh now
And honey won't you let me
Just build my whole life around you
And while how complete, how complete my whole life would be, yeah
If you would take things under consideration
And walk down this aisle with me
And I would love it, yeah
People, I say it's so early in the morning
Ooh, it's a quarter 'til three
We're sitting here talking
Over CIGARETTES and drinking coffee, now, lord
And I'd like to show you, well
I've known nothing but good old joy
Since I met you, darling
Honey, since I've met you, baby, yeah
I would love to have another drink of coffee, now
And please, darling, help me smoke just one more CIGARETTE, now
I don't want no cream and sugar
'Cause I've got you now, darling
But just let me enjoy, help me to enjoy
This good time that we'll have, baby
It's so early, so early in the morning
So early, so early in the morning
And I've got you
And you've got me
And we'll have each other
And we don't, we don't want nothing but joy, y'all
Nothing but joy
I was driving home on the boulevard late one night
When I spied a guy over on the corner, bummin' all alone
Now, as I passed him by, I heard him holler out, "hey"
I slowed down to see what he said
He hollers, "By any chance are you going my way?"
I say, "Why sho', baby, hop on in and give me a CIGARETTE"
Just then he reached down in his pockets
And that was the moment I regret
He hollered, "Reach for the sky"
I said, "But I don't understand, sir"
"Don't try no monkey business
I've got a stopper in my hand"
And then, he says, "Look-here, you see this here I got in my hand?
This is a thirty-eight pistol, built on a fourty-five frame
Shoots tombstone bullets and a ball and chain"
He said, "Now, I'm not trying to shake you up
But I just want you to know
If the cops start to crowd me any
You going to be the first to go
So, now look-here, don't even look back
You just drive on just like isn't nothing happening"
That's what he told me
He wouldn't even let me look back at nothing
He say when I get to that red light
He wanted me to go to my left and then jump back to my right
He says, "Now, I want you to drive up in that alley
Uh-uh, not in that alley, that, that one over there
And cool it behind that liquor store and keep a sharp
Lookout at all times while I sneak in that back door"
That's what he told me
He say keep my foot on the gas and always be on guard
Because when he come running out there with all that money
He wanted me to mash on it real hard
He said, now, don't let him come out over there
And find me a double-cross
Because he's murder when the heat's on
He hollered, "Reach for the sky"
I said, "But I don't understand, sir"
"Don't try no monkey business
I've got a stopper in my hand"
Ooh-wee, while I was sitting there just tremblin'
A spotlight hit me dead in the face
The cop pulled up behind me and said
"Move up a little bit, man, for we want to take your place"
And then this guy come running out of the store
With the money in his hand and said, 'Oh, there you are!'
Ha, he made a mistake in the dark
And ran and leaped in the police car
When they put the handcuffs on him
I said, "Child, you crime have outgrew him," and then they said
"Yeah, we going to put him so far back in jail this time
Until they going to have to pump air into him'
