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!
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going
I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift a while
Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry, no
Long as I can see the light
Guess I've got that old traveling bone
'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone
But I won't, won't
Be losing my way, no, no
Long as I can see the light
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going
I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light

Well there's a leak in this old building
Yes, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better home
We got no pane in this old WINDOW
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We're gonna move to a better home
Well there's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it drops right out again
Well there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building (better leak)
We're gonna move to a better home
Well there's a crack across the ceiling
Yes, there's a crack across the ceiling
Well, there's a crack across the ceiling
We're gonna find us a better home
Well, we gotta stove without a chimney
We gotta stove without a chimney
What good's a stove without a chimney
We're gonna move to a better home
Pulling down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbor can peep right through the wall
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building (look out below)
We're gonna move to a better, move to a better
Move to a better home

[Verse 1]
Half-past twelve
And I'm watchin' the late show in my flat, all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' outside the WINDOW as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Verse 2]
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm livin' in
Tired of TV
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Post-Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Look through any WINDOW, yeah
What do you see
Smilin' faces all around
Rushin' through the busy town
Movin' on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the by ways
(Where do they go)
Movin' on their way
People with their shy ways and their sly ways
Oh, you can see the little children
All around
Oh, you can see the little ladies
In their gowns when you
Look through any window, yeah
Any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
Pullin' down their heavy loads
Movin' on their way
Drivin' down highways and the by ways
(Where do they go)
Movin' on their way
Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways
Oh, you can see the little children
All around
Oh, you can see the little ladies
In their gowns when you
Look through any window, yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushin' through the busy town
Movin' on their way
Movin' on their way

She came in through the bathroom WINDOW
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
All systems on overload
Radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
And we were snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
You can wine and dine with a man all night
With good intent
But there is something about a confrontation on a back road
Breaks down the defense
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
There's a sound outside the front door
And I know it's just the wind
But it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
And start things happen again
Yeah, yeah
Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

Feel so fine honey, thats why our love should last
Feel so good baby, and it's all because of you

Yeah I'm lookin' out the WINDOW, I'm lookin' at you
See the curtains hangin' in the WINDOW
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the WINDOW
Lets me know everything's all right
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waitin' there
Not a care in the world
See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Through cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Uncle salty told me stories of a lonely
Baby with a lonely kind of life to lead
My mammy was lusted, daddy he was busted
They left her to be trusted till the orphan bleeds
But when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insane
Uncle salty told me when she was just a baby
That she'd get by and maybe someday she'd see
But soon she found her mother's love for all the others
The pushers and the shovers was the life to lead
But when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insane
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my WINDOW
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my WINDOW
Oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Now she's doin' any for money and a penny
A sailor with a penny or two or three
Hers is the cunning for men who come a-runnin'
They all come for fun and it seems to me
That when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insane
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me, but she's
Out of reach
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room
Ride
Ride on

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, PLEASE come see
What your loving means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
I got the blues, please, please, please come see
What you do to me
I got the blues
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
Hurry up, please come see what you do to me

When I was younger (when I was younger), so much younger than today (I never need)

Come on (come on)

Whoa, yeah, why do you make me blue?

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
If I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it, because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, PLEASE
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
It's all wrong but it's alright
The way that you treat me, baby
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
But you won't find a better loser
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it, because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, PLEASE

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it, 'cause
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, PLEASE
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye
We're surely gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover, oh
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it, 'cause
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, PLEASE

Whoo, whoo, whoo...
So true, funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
I want the truth to be said
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin (all night long)
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
I want the truth to be known
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE , I know this much is TRUE
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
I want the truth to be, I want the truth to be said
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE , I know this much is TRUE

I will spend my whole life through
Loving you, loving you
Winter, summer, springtime too
Loving you, loving you
Makes no difference where I go
Or what I do
You know that I'll always be
Loving you, just you
If I'm seen with someone new
Don't be blue, don't be blue
I'll be faithful, I'll be TRUE
Always true, true to you
There is only one for me
And you know who
You know that I'll always be
Loving you
Wanna tell you about the girl I love
My, she looks so fine
Ah, she's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be TRUE, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be TRUE
Sunday morning, when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
Who say they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, keep a-searchin' all around
Lookin' for my street corner girl
I got a woman, wanna ball all day, yeah
I got a woman, she won't be TRUE, no, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be TRUE
In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
'Cause I got a worried mind sharin' what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play
I got a woman, she won't be TRUE, no, no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day, yeah, yeah
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be TRUE
I said she won't be TRUE, no
Yeah, no, yeah, no
Yeah, no, yeah, no (hey, hey, what can I say?)
Ah (hey, hey, what can I do)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
she won't
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on (hey, hey, what can I do?)
(No, no, what can I say?)
(Hey, hey, what can I do?)
(No, no, what can I say?)
Hey, hey what can I do
I got a woman, she won't be TRUE
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa, hear what I said
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
(No, no, what can I say?) keep on, keep on
(Hey, hey, what can I do?)

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is TRUE

Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
I said, the boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she'd got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
I said, the boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
Spread the word around
Guess who's back in TOWN ?
You spread the word around
Friday night, they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
The boys are back in TOWN , the boys are back in TOWN
(The boys are back, the boys are back)
The boys are back in TOWN again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boys are back in TOWN again

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it 'Lonesome TOWN'
Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a handful of tears
We're going down to lonesome town
Where the broken hearts stay
We're going down to lonesome town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
And maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget

But what a voice Francoise has 💕
(Dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl in this harbor TOWN
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(Dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of a man that Brandy loved
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailor said "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
(Dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor's story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(Dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent TOWN
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
(Dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"

I was eight years old
And running with a dime in my hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick
And steer as we drove through TOWN
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "Son, take a good look around"
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown"
In '65 tension was running high
At my high school
There was a lot of fights
Between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows
And vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody
Wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill
Across the railroad tracks
Foreman says, "These jobs are going, boys
And they ain't coming back
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown"
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags, maybe heading south
I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
And said, "Son, take a good look around
This is your hometown"
There's talk on the street
It sounds so familiar
Great expectations
Everybody's watching you
People you meet
They all seem to know you
Even your old friends
Treat you like you're something new
Johnny-come-lately
The new kid in TOWN
Everybody loves you
So don't let them down
You look in her eyes
The music begins to play
Hopeless romantics
Here we go again
But after awhile
You're lookin' the other way
It's those restless hearts
That never mend
Oh, Johnny-come-lately
The new kid in TOWN
Will she still love you
When you're not around?
There's so many things
You should have told her
But night after night
You're willing to hold her, just hold her
Tears on your shoulder
There's talk on the street
It's there to remind you
That it doesn't really matter
Which side you're on
You're walking away
And they're talking behind you
They will never forget you
Till somebody new comes along
Where you been lately?
There's a new kid in TOWN
Everybody loves him, don't they?
And he's holding her
And you're still around
Oh, my, my
There's a new kid in TOWN
Ooh, hoo
Just another new kid in TOWN
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's talking 'bout
The new kid in TOWN
Everybody's walking like
The new kid in TOWN
There's a new kid in TOWN
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in TOWN
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in TOWN
There's a new kid in TOWN
There's a new kid in TOWN
Everybody's talking
There's a new kid in TOWN
People started walking
There's a new kid in TOWN
There's a new kid in TOWN
There's a new kid in TOWN

Well, I was born in a small TOWN
And I live in a small TOWN
Probably die in a small TOWN
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small TOWN
My parents live in the same small TOWN
My job is so small TOWN
Provides little opportunity, hey
Educated in a small TOWN
Taught to fear of Jesus in a small TOWN
Used to daydream in that small TOWN
Another boring romantic, that's me
But I've seen it all in a small TOWN
Had myself a ball in a small TOWN
Married an L.A. Doll and brought her to this small TOWN
Now she's small TOWN just like me
No, I cannot forget from where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small TOWN
And people let me be just what I want to be
Ooh nah, nah, nah, yeah, ooh yeah yeah
Got nothing against a big TOWN
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big TOWN
But my bed is in a small TOWN
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well, I was born in a small TOWN
And I can breathe in a small TOWN
Gonna die in a small TOWN
Oh, and that's probably where they'll bury me, yeah
Ooh yeah yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to TOWN
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby
I still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman of your age, Ruby, I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to TOWN
She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to TOWN
Oh, Ruby
For God's sakes turn around

In my little TOWN
I grew up believing
God keeps his eye on us all
And he used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord, I recall my little TOWN
Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging out shirts in the dirty breeze
And after it rains there's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagination they lack
Everything's the same back in my little TOWN
My little TOWN, my little TOWN
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little TOWN
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little TOWN
In my little TOWN
I never meant nothing, I was just my father's son, hmm-hmm
Saving my money
Dreamin' of glory
Twitching like a finger on a trigger of a gun
Really nothing but the dead and dying back in my little TOWN
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little TOWN
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little TOWN
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little TOWN
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little TOWN

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door
There's always a shade of a doubt
She can never be sure
Who comes to call
Maybe the friend of a friend, of a friend
Anyone at all
Anything, but nothing again
It used to be her TOWN
It used to be her TOWN too
It used to be her TOWN
It used to be her TOWN too
Seems like even her old girlfriends
Might be talking her down
She's got her name on the grapevine
Running up and down the telephone line
Talking 'bout
Someone said, someone said
Something 'bout, something else
Someone might have said about her
She always figured that they were her friends
But maybe they can live without her
It used to be her TOWN
It used to be her TOWN too
It used to be her TOWN
It used to be her TOWN too
Well, people got used to seeing them both together
But now, he is gone, and life goes on
Nothing lasts forever, oh no
She gets the house and the garden
He gets the boys in the band
Some of them his friends
Some of them her friends
Some of them understand
Lord knows that this is just a small TOWN city
Yes, and everyone can see you fall
It's got nothing to do with pity
I just wanted to give you a call
It used to be your TOWN
It used to be my TOWN too
You never know 'til it all falls down
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you
Darling, somebody still loves you
I can still remember
When it used to be her town too
It used to be your TOWN
It used to be my TOWN too
You never know 'til it all falls down
Somebody loves you, somebody loves you

[Verse 1]
Fools rush in
Where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you my love
My heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me
Then I don't care
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Fools rush in
Where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
[Chorus]
When we met
I felt my life begin
So OPEN up your heart and let
This fool rush in
And I don't care
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Hook] [x3]
So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in
When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door to your heart
When everything feels all over
Everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four-leaf clover
Take all worry out of your mind
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door to your heart
(To your heart)
I've got the only key to your heart
I can stop you from falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say
Let my love OPEN the door
It's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love
That's my love
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door
When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door
Let my love OPEN the door to your heart

If ever you got rain in your heart,
Someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
Am I unwise to OPEN up your eyes to love me?
And let it be like they said it would be
Me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
Run to me whenever you're lonely (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
So darling, you run to me.
And when you're out in the cold,
No one beside you, and no one to hold,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And when you've got nothing to lose,
Nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
Run to me whenever you're lonely (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
So darling, you run to me.
Run to me whenever you're lonely
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
So darling, you run to me.
Run to me whenever you're lonely
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not OPEN
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together and drifted apart
And here you are, by my side
So now I come to you with OPEN arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with OPEN arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
OPEN arms
Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back, turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you with OPEN arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with OPEN arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
OPEN arms, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide OPEN
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Into the great wide OPEN
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide OPEN
A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide OPEN
Into the great wide OPEN
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide OPEN
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide OPEN
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide OPEN
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide OPEN
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide OPEN
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide OPEN
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide OPEN
A rebel without a clue

When you cast your eyes upon the skylines
Of this once proud nation
Can you sense the fear and the hatred
Growing in the hearts of its population
And youth, oh youth, are being seduced
By the greedy hands of politics and half truths
The beaten generation
The beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information
The beaten generation
The beaten generation
OPEN your eyes, open your imagination
We're being sedated by the gasoline fumes
And hypnotised by the satellites
Into believing what is good and what is right
You may be worshipping the temples of mammon
Or lost in the prisons of religion
But can you still walk back to happiness
When you've nowhere left to run?
The beaten generation
The beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information
The beaten generation
The beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination
And if they send in the special police
To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace
Then won't the words sit ill upon their tongues
When they tell us justice is being done
And that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun
The beaten generation
The beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information
The beaten generation
The beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination
Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my LIFE
Go ahead with your own LIFE , leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind, but not on my time
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's OK, you wake up with yourself
I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my LIFE
Go ahead with your own LIFE, leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind, but not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my LIFE
Go ahead with your own LIFE , leave me alone
Keep it to yourself it's my LIFE.
Keep it to yourself it's my LIFE.
Keep it to yourself it's my LIFE .
Keep it to yourself it's my LIFE .

You LIVE your LIFE in the songs you hear
On the rock 'n' roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
That's a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you out of school
You're a little touched, you know, Angie baby
Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you across the floor (Angie)
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
Angie girl, are you alright?
Tell the radio goodnight
All alone once more, Angie baby
Angie, baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make-believe
Well, maybe
Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy
With evil on his mind
'Cause he's been peeking in Angie's room
At night through her window blind
I see your folks have gone away
Would you dance with me today?
I'll show you how to have a good time, Angie baby
(Angie baby, Angie baby)
When he walks in her room, he feels confused
Like he walked into a play
And the music's so loud, it spins him around
'Til his soul has lost its way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he's bound, never to be found
The headlines read that a boy disappeared
And everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied
It's so nice to be insane
No one asks you to explain
Radio by your side, Angie baby
Angie baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make-believe
Well, maybe
Well, maybe (Angie baby, Angie baby)
Well, maybe (Angie baby, Angie baby)
(Angie baby, Angie baby)
(Angie baby, Angie baby)
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, let it die
(LIVE and let die)
What does it matter to you?
When you got a job to do
You gotta 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)
Yeah, LIVE and let die, let it die
(LIVE and let die)

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a LIFE that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way

It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
(Ooh) Oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round ('Round)
But still come back to you
(Ooh, still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me, girl (Girl)
I'm happy at home
(happy at home)
You're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend (Oh)
Ooh, you make me live
(Live, live, live)
I'm happy, happy at home

Ooh, you make me live, ooh
Ooh, you're my best friend

You're the only one that I rely on
A shoulder there for me to cry on
And the hours alone that I'm without you
All I ever do is think about you
No one knows that you're so understanding
Even though my love is so demanding
Every time you look at me
Then you'll know we'll both agree
That no other love could be
I couldn't LIVE without your love
Now, I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time
Didn't like you much when I first met you
But somehow, I couldn't quite forget you
Said you didn't want a friend or lover
That your life was happy with another
But as time went by, my love grew stronger
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer
For I couldn't let you go
And I had to tell you so
That I loved you, then you'd know
I couldn't live without your love
Now, I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time
Now, the tears are gone and I'm not cryin'
When you say you love me, you're not lyin'
So, when people want to stare
I know I don't really care
Just as long as you are there
I couldn't live without your love
Now, I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time
I couldn't live without your love
Now, I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time

You stand in front of the band
With all those scarves in your hands
I see you play imaginary guitars
You people shaking your heads
Right 'til the end of the set
You really turn me on, wherever we are
Can't LIVE, can't LIVE without you
Can't LIVE, can't LIVE without you
Can't LIVE, can't LIVE without you
Can't LIVE, can't LIVE without you
Put your hands in the air
So I can see you are there
I wanna you see all your lights shining on
Want you to stand up and dance
Gonna leave you no chance
To take a breath between each single song
Can't LIVE, can't LIVE without you
Can't LIVE, can't LIVE without you

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
LIVE in dreams Sunday girl
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
I got the blues, please, please, please come see
What you do to me
I got the blues
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
Hurry up, please come see what you do to me
