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!

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you CHOOSE it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sounds like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my love on over 'cross the tracks
And she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they gave a jubilee
Them Georgia folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
The folks are dancing, there are all shook up
And started playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a black beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to take a mambo
It's way too early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a black beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
All gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Those were the days - Mary Hopkin

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we CHOOSE
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I used to be a rolling stone, you know
If a cause was right
I'd leave, to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beatin' for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say, the more my work gets done
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born, I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man, yeah
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me, I love ya
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light, shine the light
Shine the light, won't you shine the light?
Philadelphia freedom, I love ya
Yes, I do
If you CHOOSE to you can live your life alone
Some people CHOOSE the city (some people CHOOSE the city)
Some others CHOOSE the good old family home
(Some others CHOOSE the good old family home)
I like living easy without family ties ('cause it's easy)
'Til the whip or will of freedom zapped me, right between the eyes
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born, I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man, mmh-mmh
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me, I love ya
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light, shine the light
Shine the light, won't you shine the light?
Philadelphia freedom, I love ya
Yes, I do
Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me, I love ya
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind, mmh
Shine a light, shine the light
Shine the light, won't you shine the light?
Philadelphia freedom, I love ya
You know, I love you, yeah
You know, I love you
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia freedom)
I love you, yes I do!
(Philadelphia freedom) you know that I love you
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia) oh (freedom)
Don't you know that I love you?
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia freedom)
Don't you know that I love you?
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia) oh, oh (freedom)
Don't you know that I love you?

Us and them
And after all
We're only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows it's not what
We would CHOOSE to do
"Forward", he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which
And who is who
Up and down
And in the end
It's only round and round, and round
"Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?"
The poster bearer cried
"Listen, son", said the man with the gun
"There's room for you inside"
They're not gonna kill ya
So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they won't do it again
Dig it? I mean he got off lightly 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once
It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit?
But really, I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they, eh?
Down and out
It can't be helped
But there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny
It's what the fighting's all about
Out of the way it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Woman love, you're everything nice
Love and goodness
And oh, I feel real proud
And oh, I, I choose you, baby
Oh, I choose you, baby
Because the Night - PATTI SMITH

Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now,
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

I heard you're asking how I'm feeling
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now, my heart is healing
But something's never gonna change
'Cause now I know love ain't easy to find
I let you go, now I'm changing my mind
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
So love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I played around now, I've done some dealing
I found that love should be with you
And so you're gone now, my head is reeling
Don't wanna be with someone new
And so I go, with a feeling inside me
'Cause I know what I'm leaving behind
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
So love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I guess in time I stop and think it over
Everything that we've been through
This heart of mine may never find another
Who loves me just the way you do
Hey girl
I heard you're asking how I'm feeling
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now, my heart is healing
But something's never gonna change
'Cause now I know love ain't easy to find
I let you go, now I'm changing my mind
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
So love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Back where you belong, hey, hey
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
And so love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away, baby

Well, you wake up in the mornin'
You hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table
You see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table

Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand

She want to free her man, oh
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
If you're ever in Houston
Well, you better do right
You better not gamble
There, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya
And the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy
Whoa, you're prison bound

Were you looking for my reaction

Of my own

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Oh, oh
She's running out the door
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

All my friends say, I should leave you alone
You've got a heart like a stone and a wonderin' eye
And I know that they're right
I can make up my mind, not to see you again
But you move through my dreams like the wind
It's no good to pretend
It won't happen again, 'cause it'll happen again
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire and you're gonna get burned
It's only love when you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
And baby, I tried, but I'm just not that strong
Yes, I knew all along, but that's not enough
I was falling in love, and you don't know it
But I came over tonight
There was somebody's car parked outside
Damn my eyes
Damn this heart of mine, I drove off into the night
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire, and you're gonna get burned
It's only love when you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Somewhere in the city tonight
There's a girl, and she's lonely like me
She'll be easy to see, and naturally
She'll have that look in her eyes
She'll be feeling that way, I see it all plain as day
Oh, I'll never be
What she wants me to be, oh, but lucky for me
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire, and you're gonna get burned
It's only love when you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

Hey life look at me, I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me out of my world
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, to the HAPPENING
When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you got a tender love
You don't take care of then you better beware of the happening
One day you're up, then you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you
I was sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
Yeah, I'm riding high on top of the world
It happened, suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams fall apart when love walked away from my heart
And when you lose that precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening
Now I see life for what it is
It's not all dreams, ooh it's not all bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you once
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Is it real, is it fake, is this game of life a mistake
'Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine
For certain, suddenly I started hurting
I saw the light too late, when that fickle finger of fate
Yeah came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up, suddenly I just walked up to the happening
So sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
'Cause when you got a tender love
You don't take care of, then you better beware of the happening

You say I know it's a waste of time, there's no use trying
So scared, that life's gonna pass you by, your spirit dying
Not long ago, I could feel your strength and your devotion
What was so clear is now overcast
With mixed emotions (emotions, emotions)
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it, I know it will pull you through
Get on your feet
Get up and make it HAPPEN
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
I think it's true that we've all been through some nasty weather (Weather, weather)
Let's understand that we're here to handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow
There's so much in life
That's meant for you
Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action (Action, action)
Get on your feet
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
Get up and make it happen
Stand up, stand up, stand up and take some action (oh-oh-wey-oh, oh-oh, oh-wey-oh)
Gotta get on your feet, yeah, yeah (oh-oh, oh-wey-oh)
Don't stop before it's over (oh-oh-wey-oh)
Get on your feet

Get up, stand up
Don't stop before it's over (oh-oh, oh-wey-oh)
You gotta get on your feet, yeah, yeah

All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it HAPPENED
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Well now my door was standing open
Security were laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off from my chain
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Park the car at the side of the road
You should know
Time's tide will smother you
And I will too
When you laugh about people who feel so
Very lonely
Their only desire is to die
Well, I'm afraid
It doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh
But that joke isn't funny anymore
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
More than you'll ever know ...
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
It was dark as I drove the point home
And on cold leather seats
Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my
Face after all
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's

Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever HAPPENED to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me, S.O.S.?
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
You seemed so far away, though you were standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died, I fear
I really tried to make it up, I wish I understood
What happened to our love? It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me, S.O.S.?
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

Hey, did you HAPPEN to see
The most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see
The most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
I woke up this mornin'
Realized what I had done
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn
I knew I'd lost my morning sun
I lost my head and I said some things
Now comes the heartaches that morning brings
I know I'm wrong, and I couldn't see
I let my world slip away from me
So, hey, did you happen to see
The most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see
The most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
If you happen to see the most beautiful girl
That walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
Listen to the victim abused by a system
The basis is racist, you know that we must face this
It can't HAPPEN here
(Oh, yeah?)
Take a look around at the cities and the towns
See 'em huntin', creepin', sneakin', breedin'
Fear and loathing with the lies they're speakin'
The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb
There is no future when the past soon come
And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?
Or laugh through a glass eye as they **** our lives?
Trampled under foot by the rise on the right
(You call us...)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
(You call us what?)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
(You call us...)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
(You call us what?)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
Welcome to a state where the politics of hate
Shout loud in the crowd
Watch 'em beat us all down
There's a rising tide on the rivers of blood
But if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence
If they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?
Freedom of expression doesn't make it alright!
Trampled under foot by the rise of the right
(You call us...)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
(You call us what?)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
(You call us...)
Ich bin ein Ausländer

Ich bin ein Ausländer

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's going to HAPPEN, yeah
'Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra
Joan of Arc
Or Aphrodite
Da-da-da-da-da
She's so high
High above me
First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything
What could a guy like me
Ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be
Why should I even bother?
'Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra
Joan of Arc
Or Aphrodite
Da-da-da-da-da
She's so high
High above me
She comes to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal
'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should HAPPEN
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna HAPPEN, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra
Joan of Arc
Or Aphrodite
Oh, yeah
She's so high
High above me

Return to sender
Return to sender
I gave a letter to the postman
He put it in his sack
Bright early next morning
He brought my letter back
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
Bright and early next morning
It came right back to me
Return to sender, address unknown
No such person, no such zone
This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day then I'll understand
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone

Making somebody happy is a question of give and take
You can learn how to show it so come on, give yourself a break
Every smile and every little touch
Don't you know that they mean so much?
Sweet, sweet kisses so tender
Always will RETURN to sender
Like a bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dumb-be-dumb-dumb, be-dumb-be-dumb-dumb
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Love is a tune you hummy-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
A boom-a-boomerang is love
Love is always around and you can look for it anywhere
When you feel that you've found it
My advice is to take good care
Never use it as a selfish tool
Never ever be such a fool
Every feeling you're showing
Is a boomerang you're throwing
Yes a bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dumb-be-dumb-dumb, be-dumb-be-dumb-dumb
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Love is a tune you hummy-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
And if you're warm and tender
I'll kiss you, return to sender
Please surrender
Bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dumb-be-dumb-dumb, be-dumb-be-dumb-dumb
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
A boom-a-boomerang is love

Yesterday a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't RETURN, we can only look
Behind, from where we came
And go round and round and round, in the circle game
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, "When you're older" must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind, from where we came
And go round and round and round, in the circle game
16 springs and 16 summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him, "Take your time, it won't be long now
'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down"
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind, from where we came
And go round and round and round, in the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is 20
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind, from where we came
And go round and round and round, in the circle game
And go round and round and round, in the circle game

In a little while you're leaving
Starting on the journey home
Soon I'll be alone, the one who loves you
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome
I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll RETURN
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
Suddenly the tears are falling
As we hear the whistle blow
Hold me very close before you leave me
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome
I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
(If love can come and love can go, then why can't love RETURN once more?)
Is always better than nothing
(Who got the power?)
Than nothing at all (Oh, now)
What a fool believes
(I believe she's never gone away) he sees
No wise man has the power (To reason away)
To reason away
What seems to be
(Oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama)
Is always better than nothing (Better than nothing)
Than nothing at all (Oh, I believe)

The lightning express from the depot so grand
Had started out on its way
All of the passengers that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay
But one little boy who sat by himself
Was reading a letter he had
You could plainly tell by the look on his face
That the contents of it made him sad
The stern old conductor then started his round
Taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching the sad little boy
He gruffly demanded his fare
'I have no TICKET' the boy then replied
'But I'll pay you back someday'
'Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make'
But he stopped when he heard the boy say
'Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
'If you put him off, it's a shame'
Taking his hand, a collection she made
The boy's way was paid on the train
'I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me'
'You're welcome, ' she said, never fear
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
The boy's words would ring in his ear
'Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'

She gonna put the light out on - you

Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love MACHINE
Oh, you make me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight

I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing
I don't wanna hurt you, baby
I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl
You better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you, boy
You'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, touch me, baby, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me, baby, a-ha, honey honey
You look like a movie star (look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are (I know just who you are)
And honey, to say the least, you're a doggone beast
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before (I heard about you before)
I wanted to know some more (I wanted to know you some more)
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy
Welcome my son
Welcome to the MACHINE
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline
Filling in time
Provided with toys and scouting for boys
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the MACHINE
Welcome my son
Welcome to the MACHINE
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the MACHINE

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius, you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all
Oh, oh, you think you're special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much
So you got the brain but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve-just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place
Oh, oh, so you think you're something special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you're Brad Pitt
That don't impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
You're one of those guys who likes to shine his MACHINE
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me, you must be jokin', right
Oh, oh, so you think you're something special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night
That don't impress me much
Okay, so what do you think you're Elvis or something
Whatever
That don't impress me

Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say, "Hello"
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a Mac in the pouring rain
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back in
Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean MACHINE
Penny Lane, is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
Penny Lane, the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then, the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane
She was a fast MACHINE, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come, but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it
And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long
Working double time on the seduction line
She's one of a kind, she's just mine, all mine
Wanted no applause, it's just another course
Made a meal outta me, and come back for more
Had to cool me down to take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
That the walls were shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it
And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long
And knocked me out, I said you shook me all night long
You had me shaking and you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me
Well, you took me
You really took me and you shook me all night long
Ooh, you shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you shook me all night long
You really got me and you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me
Yeah, you shook me all night long
Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
Bangin' this bolo tight, on this solo flight, can't fight alone
Funk the track, my verbs sly like the Family Stone
Them pen devils set the stage for the war at home
Locked without a wage, you're standing in the drop zone
The clockers born, starin' at an empty plate
Mama's torn hands cover her sunken face
We hungry but them belly full
The structure is set, ya never change it with a ballot pull
In the ruins there's a network for the toxic rock
Schoolyard to precinct, suburb to project block
Bosses rode south for new flesh and a factory floor
The remains left chained to the powder war
Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
So make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
Yes, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
Yeah
Bear witness to the sickest shot while suckers get romantic
They ain't gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton
Still we lampin', still clockin' dirt for our sweat
A ballot's dead, so a bullet's what I get
A thousand years they had the tools, we should be takin' 'em
Fuck the G-ride, I want the MACHINES that are makin' 'em
Our target straight with a room full of armed pawns
To off the Kings on the west side at dawn
Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
Make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
Can't waste a day, when the night brings a hearse
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
(The rungs torn from the ladder, can't reach the tumor)
(One god, one market, one truth, one consumer)
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
Yeaah
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
For the things we'll never have
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
For the things we don't have
(These eyes) See only what they wanna see
(These ears) Hear only what they wanna hear
(These minds) Think only what they wanna think
(These lies, these lies)
You will find no answers in this head
What you see is what you get
Watch as all the lights go out
Down and out, out for the count
Take your places, choose your sins
Everyone loses, no one wins
I have seen the future
And this is how it begins
In chaos and riots, the screech of machines
No right and no wrong, and no in-between
Fall one by one, the queen to her fool
Dos dedos mis amigos, everything's cool
Everything's...
(These arms) Hold whoever needs to be held
(These hands) Take whatever they wanna take
(These words) Fake whoever needs to be faked
(These lies, these lies)
Look for clues inside the baby's head
Hear the words yet to be said
Cue the music, fade to black
No such thing as no payback
Take this line, know where it ends
No return, no make amends
Is this the future
Or this is how it will end?
In chaos and riots, the screech of machines
No right and no wrong, and no in-between
Fall one by one, the queen to her fool
Dos dedos mis amigos, everything's cool
Everything's...
In chaos and riots, the screech of machines
No right and no wrong, and no in-between
Fall one by one, the queen to her fool
Dos dedos mis amigos, everything's cool
Everything's...
Everything's...
Everything's cool
